Disease relevance of Space-Time Clustering

The case-control test for space-time clustering developed by Pike and Smith was applied to 96 cases of sarcoidosis diagnosed in the Isle of Man from 1962 to 1983 [1].
Using the method developed by Knox, space-time clustering was analysed in all 584 cases of insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) diagnosed between 1977-1990 and below the age of 16 from four paediatric departments in south-east Sweden [2].

High impact information on Space-Time Clustering

To investigate whether infections may be involved in the aetiology of childhood cancer, we have analysed for space-time clustering using a large set of national population-based data from Great Britain for the period 1969-1993 [3].
The genetic relatedness of MRSA isolates, as estimated by this technique, appeared to correlate with their space-time clustering [4].
Space-time clustering of nasopharyngeal carcinoma in Greenland Eskimos [5].
Our results indicate that space-time clustering exists in IDDM [2].
Space time clustering of birth in SIDS [6].
