- Abstract
Objective: To analyze the spatial distribution of tuberculosis and its association with socioeconomic factors. Method: A mixed-methods ecological study with spatial analysis of tuberculosis cases in the state of Paraíba, reported from 2015 to 2018. Results: A total of 6,082 cases were reported, with a mean incidence of 37.4/100,000 inhabitants. No municipality was classified as having "very low" development, although statistical significance exists between the incidence rates and the socioenvironmental factors. Conclusion: The Moran Index pointed out a positive autocorrelation between areas with high incidence values. The Moran Map reveals clusters that indicate a concentration of the infection between Zona da Mata and Agreste Paraibano, the largest of which comprises 19 municipalities.
