Abstract

Tıbbı kaynakların kullanımına ilişkin veriler önemli sağlık göstergeleri arasında kabul edilir. Dünya Bankası verilerini kullanarak Ekonomik İşbirliği ve Kalkınma Teşkilatı (OECD) üye ülkelerini tıbbi kaynaklar ve bunların kullanımı açısından sınıflandırmayı amaçladık. Bu araştırma kesitsel tipte bir çalışma olup; 2010-2015 yılları arasındaki tıbbi kaynaklar ve bunların kullanım verileri değerlendirildi. OECD üyesi 36 ülke arasından veri eksikliği olan 13 ülke çalışmaya dahil edilemedi. Tıbbi kaynaklar ve bunların kullanımı açısından benzerlik gösteren ülkeleri saptayarak gruplayabilmek için hiyerarşik kümeleme analizi kullanıldı. Hiyerarşik kümeleme analizinin çeşitli yöntemleri olmasına rağmen Ward yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Ward yöntemiyle kümeler elde etmek için Kare Öklid mesafesi kullanıldı. Değişkenler arasındaki ilişkiyi değerlendirmek için Pearson korelasyon analizi kullanıldı. Hiyerarşik kümeleme analizi ile seçilmiş olan 23 OECD ülkesi 4 kümeye ayrıldı. Türkiye'nin İsrail, İspanya, Yunanistan ve Meksika ile birlikte ilk kümede yer aldığı tespit edildi. Sağlık göstergeleri açısından OECD ülkeleri arasındaki heterojen kümelenme, ülkeler arasındaki finansal eşitsizlik başta olmak üzere birçok faktörden kaynaklanmış olabilir. Olası faktörlerin net bir şekilde ortaya konabilmesi için daha ayrıntılı çalışmalar yapılmasına ihtiyaç duyulmaktadır

Classification of Oecd Countries in Terms of Medical Resources and Usage with Hierarchical Clustering Analysis

Year 2022, Volume: 44 Issue: 4, 487 - 492, 19.07.2022

Abstract

Medical resources and usage data collected regularly and could be considered a major benchmark for countries. We aimed to classify the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development(OECD) member countries using the World Bank data in terms of medical resources and usage. This is a cross - sectional study. The medical resources and usage data between 2010-2015 were evaluated. Among 36 OECD member countries, 13 of them that lacked data couldn’t be included in the study. Hierarchical clustering analysis was used for grouping countries with similar medical resources and usage. Although there are various methods of hierarchical clustering analysis, Ward method, has been used. Square Euclidean distance was used to obtain clusters by Ward method. Pearson correlation analysis was used to evaluate the relationship between variables. Hierarchical clustering analysis resulted in 4 clusters for selected 23 OECD countries. It was found that Turkey was in the first cluster together with Israel, Spain, Greece and Mexico. The heterogeneous clustering among the OECD countries may have been produced by the financial disparities between the countries. The results are expected to provide helpful insight on the comparison of health status.
