Abstract

Background

The aim of this study was to determine incidence of COVID-19 in relationship to geographical distribution among Spain.

Method

Cluster analysis taking into consideration the incidence of COVID-19 in the provinces and autonomous cities of Spain in each of the first six waves of the pandemic.

Results

All the provinces of the Canary Islands, Catalonia and Andalusia form independent clusters. In Comunidad Valenciana, Galicia, País Vasco and Aragón two out of three provinces (three out of four in Galicia) were in the same cluster, with no other provinces.

Discussion

The incidence of COVID-19 in Spain in the first six waves forms clusters that reproduce the territorial division of Spain into autonomous communities. Although this could be explained by greater mobility within a community, it cannot be ruled out that this distribution is due to differences in screening, diagnosis, registration or reporting of COVID-19 cases.

西班牙COVID-19发病率及其省级地理关系研究

本研究的目的是确定西班牙COVID-19发病率与地理分布的关系。方法采用聚类分析方法，分析西班牙前六波疫情中各省市的COVID-19发病率。结果加那利群岛、加泰罗尼亚和安达卢西亚的所有省份形成了独立的集群。在瓦伦西亚自治区、加利西亚、País瓦斯科和Aragón，三个省中有两个(加利西亚四个省中有三个)属于同一集群，没有其他省份。在西班牙，前六波COVID-19的发病率形成了群集，将西班牙的领土划分为自治区。虽然这可以通过社区内更大的流动性来解释，但不能排除这种分布是由于筛查、诊断、登记或报告COVID-19病例的差异造成的。
