Philippines Dengue Cases and Hotspots, Monthly Provincial Data from 2017 to 2024

January 2017 to December 2024 monthly dengue incidence data for all provinces in the Philippines, totaling 1,903,425 reported cases. The dataset, authored by Kenny Oriel A. Olana and last updated in April 2026, was analyzed using spatial statistics to identify spatiotemporal clusters and hotspots, such as those in the National Capital Region and Western Visayas.

Use Cases

• Identify disease hotspots and spatial autocorrelation patterns based on provincial incidence data.
• Model spatiotemporal clusters of dengue outbreaks using scan statistics methods described.
• Analyze long-term trends and regional epidemic impacts, such as the 2019 event in Western Visayas.

Strengths

• Contains 1,903,425 dengue cases, providing a substantial count for analysis.
• Covers an 8-year time range (2017-2024) for longitudinal study.
• Includes nationwide data at the provincial level for granular spatial analysis.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• The primary file format is DOCX, which may require extraction to access structured data.
