Objective In 2023,the number of Mycoplasma pneumoniae infections in northern China has surged.We aim to reveal the epidemic characteristics of Mycoplasma pneumoniae infections in children in Gansu Province by digging big data platform data.Methods The medical records of residents from January 2018 to October 2023 were extracted.The big data algorithms and artificial verification were used to complete the cleaning and consistency inspection of data,Arc-GIS 10.2 was used to complete the processing of space geographic information,and analysis of data was carried out by u-sing computer software SPSS version 20.0.Results From 2018 to 2022,there were 7 486 visits to Mycoplasma pneu-moniae in Gansu Province,and 5 774 visits to children,accounting for 77.13％of the total number of visits,making them the main group of patients.From January to October 2023,there were 2 929 visits for Mycoplasma pneumoniae in-fection in children,the highest level in recent years.Winter is the main season for Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection in children(x2=522.996,P＜0.001).In the 0-3 year old group,there was a significant difference in the number of visits between male and female children in different years(x2=12.304,P=0.015).There was also a significant difference in the number of visits between male and female children aged 4-6 years in different years(x2=11.071,P=0.026),but no difference was found in children aged seven or more(x2=6.301,P=0.178).There was a clear clustering in space,concentrated in Qingyang and Jiuquan.Conclusion In 2023,Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection in children in Gansu Province entered a new epidemic year,with a record high number of visits and a sharp increase in the number of visits in the short term.The seasonal performance in 2023 is not significant,with peak visits occurring in spring,summer,and autumn.The infected population has not changed significantly,and girls are more susceptible than boys.The main infec-ted population is children in the 4-6 age group.Strengthening the monitoring of respiratory diseases in children and the management of childcare institutions.
