- W74043976 abstract "The main goal of this research is to establish the potential contribution of geographic science to the building up of a modern and global concept of healthcare, by integrating input from human populations’ disease status contributing factors.The first four chapters present a detailed bibliographic revision on the Geography of Health theme, from its more traditional approaches to culturally focused contributions, namely in the mental health area.Chapters five and six discuss a set of data analysis techniques commonly applied to health geography issues which will be central to the empirical part of this work. A discussion focused on the role of the variable ‘space’ in the understanding of a disease’s epidemiology – illustrated with the example of HIV/Aids – is put forward to substantiate a conceptual approach to the problematic of space in health and disease.The empirical part of this work is centred on a geographic and epidemiologic reading of HIV/Aids mortality in the years 1991-2001, using standardised mortality rates and empirical Bayes estimations.Hospital data, regarding the admission of HIV/Aids infected in-patients to Hospital da Universidade de Coimbra’s Infeccious Diseases Service between the years of 1996- 2001 has been evaluated taking into account both socio-demographic characterization and spatial delimitation of demand. A set of direct and indirect HIV/Aids associated costs which by far surpass the loss of human life have been assessed and have sustained some conclusions:• Health prevention policies, particularly those related to STD should take into account a series geographically projected ‘high risk situations’;• 40 per cent of the demand for HIV/Aids related healthcare is external to the hospital’s ‘influence area’;• The HIV/Aids healthcare user profile of this sample is predominantly composed of low qualification and low income individuals;• Similarly to international examples the average patient/year cost has been reduced following the adoption of HAART;• The adoption of HAART is – on a medium term analysis – associated reduction in the frequency of demand for HIV/Aids related healthcare;• A reduction of admitted HIV patients’ mortality rate was recorded accompanying similar results obtained in international studies." @default.
