The contribution of spatial analysis to understanding HIV/TB mortality in children: a structural equation modelling approach.

Conclusion: Low socio-economic status and maternal deaths impacted indirectly and directly on child mortality, respectively. These factors are major concerns locally and should be used in formulating interventions to reduce child mortality. Spatial prediction maps can guide policy makers to target interventions where they are most needed. PMID: 23364095 [PubMed - in process]
