On the use of covariates for trachoma prevalence estimation using geostatistical methods: benefits and limitations

2024-11-18

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p>Background: Model-based geostatistics (MBG) is increasingly used for estimating the prevalence of neglected tropical diseases, including trachoma, in low- and middle-income countries. We sought to investigate the impact of spatially referenced covariates to improve spatial predictions for trachomatous inflammation—follicular (TF) prevalence generated by MBG. To this end, we assessed th...
