Manipulation and Analysis

Manipulation and Analysis

GIS manipulation and analysis functions are vital for decision-making and planning. These activities range from data retrieval tasks, such as selecting information based on specific criteria, to advanced analytical techniques that address complex spatial problems.One critical GIS analysis method is overlaying, which combines multiple data layers to examine impacts. For example, overlaying a river-dammed lake boundary with road networks can identify affected infrastructure. Another common...

Background:

Cataract extraction with intraocular lens implantation (CEIOL) is a common procedure to restore vision.
Understanding surgical rates and demographic disparities is crucial for equitable healthcare delivery.
Florida's diverse population presents a unique landscape for analyzing healthcare access.

Purpose of the Study:

To determine statewide cataract surgery rates in Florida from 2005 to 2014.
To analyze disparities in CEIOL utilization among Caucasians, African-Americans, Hispanics, and Asian/Pacific Islanders.
To examine changes in cataract surgery volume and demographic characteristics over a decade.

Main Methods:

Retrospective analysis of ambulatory surgical data from Florida (2005-2014).
Utilized the Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project (HCUP) and State Ambulatory Surgery and Services Databases (SASD).
Employed data mining and geospatial analysis to assess surgical trends and disparities in patients aged 65 and older.

Main Results:

Cataract surgeries constituted 14.90% of all ambulatory procedures.
CEIOL utilization varied significantly by race: Caucasians (82.23%), Hispanics (10.69%), and African-Americans (4.95%).
Surgery volume increased by 1.29% annually, but overall penetration decreased from 18.82% to 16.66%.

Conclusions:

Cataract surgery distribution in Florida showed inequalities based on gender and race.
Certain counties experienced significant shifts in surgical volume over the study period.
The study provides a data-driven methodology for identifying healthcare disparities in surgical and epidemiological trends.
