Abstract
Certain methodological problems are likely to be encountered if observed disease occurrences based on hospital or other medical statistics are interpreted in a spatial geographical analysis. Epidemiological surveys of good quality—taking environmental factors into proper consideration—are scarce and usually restricted to a few diseases of major interest or importance and consequently generally very specific as opposed to aiming at spatial coverage.
