DHF, Fogging focus, Incidence of DHF casesAbstract
Background: Incidence rate of dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) in Bandung city is still considerably high over the years. There is no well-documented example of the effectiveness of fogging focus and there is no data on fogging focus activities that have been undertaken by Dinas Kesehatan Kota Bandung. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the relationship between frequency of fogging focus and incidence of DHF cases in Bandung from year 2010 to 2015.
Methods: An analytical observational study with cross sectional design was conducted from September 2016 to November 2016. Population of this research was all DHF patients in Bandung. Data collected was analyzed using Spearman correlation coefficient.
Results: Correlation between frequency of fogging focus and incidence of DHF cases was significant (p<0.05). Correlation coefficient of 0.703 is indicative of a strong positive correlation between the two variables.
Conclusions: Frequency of fogging focus and incidence of DHF cases are positively correlated. This indicates that the higher the frequency of fogging focus, the higher the incidence of DHF cases.
