Study Objectives
• To identify geographic areas in AR with higher proportion of excess cases of breast cancer.
• To plan treatment and rehabilitative services for women with breast cancer in these areas.

Methods
• Using SaTScan/ArcGIS to identify geographic areas with higher proportion of excess cases.
• Models used:
- Poisson Model
- Space-Time Permutation
![Page 7: Using ArcGIS/SaTScan to detect higher than expected breast cancer incidence Jim Files, BS Appathurai Balamurugan, MD, MPH](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062322/56649ddf5503460f94ad8109/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
SaTScan
• SaTScan Software is available for free from NCI
• SaTScan uses the Spatial Scan Statistic developed by Martin Kulldorff for the National Cancer Institute
• Gives health agencies ability to quickly assess potential cancer clusters.
![Page 8: Using ArcGIS/SaTScan to detect higher than expected breast cancer incidence Jim Files, BS Appathurai Balamurugan, MD, MPH](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062322/56649ddf5503460f94ad8109/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Spatial scan statistic
• Circles of different sizes (from zero up to 50 % of the population size)
• For each circle a likelihood ratio statistic is computed based on the number of observed and expected cases within and outside the circle and compared with the likelihood L0 under the null hypothesis.
![Page 9: Using ArcGIS/SaTScan to detect higher than expected breast cancer incidence Jim Files, BS Appathurai Balamurugan, MD, MPH](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062322/56649ddf5503460f94ad8109/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
SaTScan
• To evaluate reported spatial or space-time disease clusters, to see if they are statistically significant.
• To test whether a disease is randomly distributed over space, over time or over space and time.
• To perform geographical surveillance of disease, to detect areas of significantly high or low rates.
• To perform repeated time-periodic disease surveillance for the early detection of disease outbreaks.

Poisson Model
• With the Poisson model, the number of cases in each location is Poisson-distributed.
• Under the null hypothesis, and when there are no covariates, the expected number of cases in each area is proportional to its population size, or to the person-years in that area.
• Purely spatial analysis was conducted using poisson model
![Page 11: Using ArcGIS/SaTScan to detect higher than expected breast cancer incidence Jim Files, BS Appathurai Balamurugan, MD, MPH](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062322/56649ddf5503460f94ad8109/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Space-Time Permutation Model
• For the Space-Time Permutation model, the number of observed cases in a cluster is compared to what would have been expected if the spatial and temporal locations of all cases were independent of each other so that there is no space-time interaction.

Inference from Poisson Model
• Most likely areas with higher than expected cases of breast cancer are centered around
- Hot Spring, Pulaski, and Dallas Counties in the Central region.
- Greene, Craighead, and Mississippi Counties in the northeast region
![Page 18: Using ArcGIS/SaTScan to detect higher than expected breast cancer incidence Jim Files, BS Appathurai Balamurugan, MD, MPH](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062322/56649ddf5503460f94ad8109/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Inference from Poisson Model
• Pros
- Expected number of cases proportional to population size
- Diseases of long latency
• Cons
- Purely spatial (Less time specific)
- Less sensitive for a dynamic population

-Cleburne, Van Buren, and White Counties in the north central part of the state
![Page 23: Using ArcGIS/SaTScan to detect higher than expected breast cancer incidence Jim Files, BS Appathurai Balamurugan, MD, MPH](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062322/56649ddf5503460f94ad8109/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Inference from STP Model
• Pros
- Information on cases alone sufficient - Accounts for time changes
• Cons- Population shift bias: Ignores
population dynamics over time
- Longer study period

Inference
Poisson Model is preferred to calculate higher than expected cases in our scenario due to following reasons:
• Since breast cancer is a disease of long latency
• Arkansas has a relatively stable population
![Page 26: Using ArcGIS/SaTScan to detect higher than expected breast cancer incidence Jim Files, BS Appathurai Balamurugan, MD, MPH](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062322/56649ddf5503460f94ad8109/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Recommendations
• Future methods should focus on accounting for time and space in calculating higher than expected cases for diseases of long latency.
• Also, adjusting for covariates like age, race, SES, and urban/rural would be critical.
