Descriptor English: Small-Area Analysis
Descriptor Spanish: Análisis de Área Pequeña
Descriptor análisis de áreas pequeñas
Scope note: Método para analizar la variación en la utilización de los servicios sanitarios en áreas geográficas o demográficas pequeñas. Con frecuencia estudia, por ejemplo, la tasa de utilización de un servicio o procedimiento dado en varias áreas pequeñas, y documentan la variación entre ellas. Al comparar las áreas con altas y bajas tasas de utilización el análisis intenta determinar si hay un patrón en dicha utilización e identificar las variables asociadas con la variación y que contribuyen a ella.

Scope note: A method of analyzing the variation in utilization of health care in small geographic or demographic areas. It often studies, for example, the usage rates for a given service or procedure in several small areas, documenting the variation among the areas. By comparing high- and low-use areas, the analysis attempts to determine whether there is a pattern to such use and to identify variables that are associated with and contribute to the variation.
