Objective:To understand the latest epidemiological status of tuberculosis in floating population at Yuexiu District and to provide scientific basis for continuous improvement and optimization of measures of tuberculosis prevention and control for floating population.Methods:Basing on the data of Tuberculosis Management Information System, a subsystem of China Disease Prevention and Control Information System, the online data of the patients with pulmonary tuberculosis at Yuexiu District floating between districts, cities, and provinces from 2018 to 2022 were collected and collated. The epidemiological status in the 3 floating populations with different gender, age, case finding model, treatment delay, pathogenic test results, and treatment classification were descriptively analyzed.Results:In the five years, 1 267 cases of pulmonary tuberculosis at Yuexiu District were reported, including 829 males (65.43%) and 438 females (34.57%). Among them, 80.58% (1 021/1 267) patients went directly to the tuberculosis prevention and treatment institution for medical treatment. In the patients, 713 cases (56.27%) were pathogenic positive, and 554 cases (43.73%) pathogenic positive. There were 1 188 first treated cases (93.76%) and 79 re-treated cases (6.24%). The median of the reported incidence rates of pulmonary tuberculosis in the floating population was 71.1/100 000 in 2020. The rates of delay in seeing a doctor and diagnosis delay were 75.30% (854/1 267) and 77.19% (978/1 267), respectively. The percentages of the patients <18 years old, ≥18-45 years old, ≥45-60 years old, and ≥60 years old were 3.28% (2/61), 50.82% (31/61), 22.95% (14/61), and 22.95% (14/61), respectively.Conclusions:The incidence of tuberculosis and rates of delay in seeing a doctor and diagnosis delay in the floating population at Yuexiu are all at a high level. Therefore, it is urgent to strengthen tuberculosis control in floating population.
Objective:To analyze the characteristics of diagnosis and treatment delay of patients with tuberculosis in recent years at Yuexiu, and to provide the basic basis for the formulation of control strategies for the early detection of tuberculosis cases and the optimization and improvement of the implementation measures.Methods:The online reporting data of tuberculosis patients at Yuexiu District, Guangzhou from 2018 to 2022 were derived from the Tuberculosis Management Information System of China Information System for Disease Control and Prevention. Whether the intervals between the first diagnosis date and present symptom date and between the present diagnosis date and the present first diagnosis date were over 14 days were referred to as delay in seeing a doctor and diagnosis delay, respectively. The data of these two kinds of delay were statistically analyzed by day, week, month, and year. And the delays between male and female, between the juvenile group (< 18), the youth group (≥18-45), the middle-aged group (≥45-60), and the elderly group (≥60), and between the delay of each street were compared. χ2 test and rank sum test were applied. Results:In the 2 504 cases of pulmonary tuberculosis, the rates of delay in seeing a doctor and diagnosis delay were 41.5% (1 028/2 504) and 30.71% (769/2 504), respectively. The ranges and medians of the two kinds of delays were 1-7 664 days and 27 days and 1-1 100 days and 14 days, respectively; the percentages of delay for one month, one year, and over one year were 52.72% (542/1 028), 43.29% (445/1 028), and 3.99% (41/1 028) and 77.76% (598/769), 21.59% (166/769), and 0.65% (5/769), respectively. The delay in seeing a doctor and diagnosis delay occurred in 662 cases (40.89%) and 482 cases (29.96%) among the 1 619 male patients, respectively, while 366 cases (41.36%) and 287 cases (32.43%) experienced the delays among the 885 female patients, respectively, with no statistical differences between the males and the females (all P?0.05). The rates of delay in seeing a doctor and diagnosis delay in the juvenile group, the youth group, the middle-aged group, and the elderly group were 36.36% (16/44), 38.31% (321/838), 41.81% (268/641), and 43.12% (423/981) and 31.82% (14/44), 33.77% (283/838), 28.55% (183/641), and 29.46% (289/981), respectively, with no statistical differences (all P?0.05). In the 18 sub-districts of Yuexiu District, the ranges of the rates of delay in seeing a doctor and diagnosis delay were 32.91%-50.79% and 21.52%-34.73%, respectively, with statistical differences ( U=96.0 and 41.5; both P<0.05). Conclusions:There are high proportions of delay in seeing a doctor and diagnosis delay among patients with pulmonary tuberculosis at Yuexiu District. How to shorten delay in seeing a doctor by strengthening the active case finding and to reduce diagnosis delay by improving clinical diagnosis and treatment is an urgent problem to be solved.
