Abstract

Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) remains a major public health challenge in Indonesia, including Makassar City. This study aims to estimate and map the relative risk (RR) of HIV cases in Makassar City using the Bayesian spatial Conditional Autoregressive (CAR) Leroux model. The dataset comprises the number of HIV cases and the population of each district, with covariates including distance to the city center and population density. Results of Moran's I test indicated significant spatial autocorrelation in HIV cases across Makassar City. Model selection based on the Deviance Information Criterion (DIC) and Watanabe-Akaike Information Criterion (WAIC) identified the optimal model as the CAR Leroux with an Invers-Gamma (IG) hyperprior (0.5;0.0005) and distance as a covariate, yielding the lowest DIC and WAIC values. The estimation results demonstrated that distance is negatively associated with HIV incidence. The highest RR was observed in Ujung Pandang district, while the lowest was in Biringkanaya District. These findings may provide a basis for identifying priority intervention areas and support the development of more targeted and effective HIV elimination strategies.

Abstract

Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) remains a significant public health challenge in Indonesia, including in Makassar City, which reported an increase of 291 cases in 2024. This study aimed to estimate the relative risk of DHF across 15 districts of Makassar by incorporating covariates such as population density, distance to the city center, and the number of hospitals, using a Bayesian Conditional Autoregressive (CAR) Localised approach. The data were obtained from the publication Makassar City in Figures 2025, issued by the Central Statistics Agency. Spatial autocorrelation analysis with Moran’s I indicated significant clustering of DHF cases. Model selection was conducted using the Deviance Information Criterion (DIC), Watanabe–Akaike Information Criterion (WAIC), and group-level area coverage. The results showed that the best-fitting model was the CAR Localised model with distance as a covariate (M9), specified at G = 3 with hyperprior IG (1; 0.01). Distance exhibited a negative association with DHF incidence, suggesting that the farther a district is from the city center, the lower its relative risk. Among the districts, Rappocini exhibited the highest relative risk followed by Panakkukang, while the lowest risks were observed in Sangkarrang Islands. These findings provide valuable insights for designing spatially targeted DHF prevention and control strategies in Makassar City.
