Epidemiological characteristics of drug-resistant pulmonary tuberculosis in Mianyang City from 2016 to 2022
Objective To analyze the epidemiological characteristics of drug-resistant pulmonary tuberculosis in Mianyang City,and to provide reference for prevention and control of drug-resistant pulmonary tuberculosis.Methods The data of patients with drug-resistant pulmonary tuberculosis registered in Mianyang City from 2016 to 2022 were collected,descriptive epidemiology method was used to analyze the percentages and constituent ratios,the rate was compared by Chi-square test,the difference was statistically significant with P<0.05.Results The registration rate of drug-resistant patients in Mianyang City was 0.92/105 in 2016 and reached its peak(1.43/105)in 2018,the registration rate of drug-resistant patients in 2022 was 0.50/105.In terms of gender distribution,men accounted for 70.45%and 70.83%respectively in 2016 and 2022,women accounted for 29.55%and 29.17%respectively in 2016 and 2022.From 2016 to 2022,the incidence was the highest in the 15-59 age group,accounting for 84.09%,60.00%,71.01%,80.49%,63.33%,64.52%and 62.50%,respectively.Farmers were the main drug-resistant patients,accounting for 77.27%,60.00%,66.66%,75.61%,50.00%,58.07%and 54.16%,respectively from 2016 to 2022.In the registration classification of drug-resistant patients,the proportion of newly diagnosed patients was the highest,followed by re-treatment patients.Conclusions The drug-resistant registration rate in Mianyang reached its peak in 2018 and showed a downward trend for four consecutive years.It is necessary to pay close attention to the drug-resistant registration and success rate of treatment,the compliance of patients should be improved,the screening of key populations should be strengthened and the spread of drug-resistant tuberculosis should be reduced.
