Association Analysis of the Number of Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever Cases in East Kalimantan with the Factors of Geographic, Demographic, and Health Using Spearman Rank Correlation
Abstract
Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) is a mosquito-borne infection caused by the dengue virus, primarly found in the tropics and sub-tropics. The Indonesian country is a tropical climate. During the last three years (2017-2019), there has been an increase in the number of cases of DHF in East Kalimantan Province, Indonesia. This study aims to determine the corresponding factors with the number of DHF cases in East Kalimantan Province, Indonesia, in 2019 by using the Spearman rank correlation method. The result shows that the factors that significantly associated the number of DHF cases in East Kalimantan were the demographic and health factors.
