摘要

本文利用路易斯维尔地铁紧急医疗服务中心获得的数据,研究了肯塔基州路易斯维尔阿片类药物过量的时空模式。我们将阿片类药物过量的情况汇总到各个街道,并应用优化的热点分析来确定过量率显着高的区域。采用多元空间回归模型探讨与疫情空间变异相关的生态风险因素。结果表明阿片类药物过量的总体聚集模式,所有过量事件集中在所有街道段的不到8%。这些连续的热点地区在很大程度上与路易斯维尔最贫困的内城社区重叠。回归结果提供了社会经济相关因素(包括未投保、空置率和犯罪活动)影响的统计证据。过量用药热点与弱势社区缺乏医疗设施或医院之间的空间差异指出了卫生不平等的关键问题。

Clustering Patterns and Hot Spots of Opioid Overdoses in Louisville, Kentucky
Using data obtained from the Louisville Metro Emergency Medical Services, this article examined the spatial and temporal patterns of opioid overdoses in Louisville, Kentucky. We aggregated opioid overdoses to street segments and applied the optimized hot spot analysis to identify areas with significant high overdose rates. Multiple spatial regression models were used to explore the ecological risk factors potentially associated with the spatial variations of the epidemic. The results suggest an overall clustered pattern of opioid overdoses with all overdose incidents concentrated in less than 8% of all the street segments. The consecutive hot spots largely overlapped with the most disadvantaged inner-city neighborhoods in Louisville. Regression results provided statistical evidence regarding the effects of socioeconomic correlates including uninsured, vacancy rates, and criminal activity. The spatial discrepancy between the overdose hot spots and lack of medical facilities or hospitals in the disadvantaged neighborhoods points to the critical issue of health inequity.
