Characteristics of pulmonary tuberculosis epidemics in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region,2016-2020
Objective To analyze the epidemic characteristics of pulmonary tuberculosis in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region from 2016 to 2020,and to provide a basis for further control of pulmonary tuberculosis epidemics.Methods The data about reported cases of pulmonary tuberculosis in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region from 2016 to 2020 were collected,and the epidemiological characteristics of pulmonary tuberculosis in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region were analyzed by descriptive epidemiological methods.Results A total of 64,485 cases of pulmonary tuberculosis were reported in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region from 2016 to 2020,with an average annual reporting rate of 51.04/100,000.The reported incidence rate decreased from 52.77/100,000 in 2016 to 39.41/100,000 in 2020(x2=1,020.000,P＜0.001).There were 18,052 patients with positive etiology,and the positive rate increased from 19.26％in 2016 to 42.34％in 2020(x2=576.000,P＜0.001).The relatively high incidence rates were reported in Xing'an League(84.61/100,000)and Hulunbuir City(69.13/100,000),while the relatively low incidence rates were reported in Hohhot City(28.77/100,000)and Baotou City(28.59/100,000).The reported incidence rate was found to be the highest in the age group ≥60 years(38.49％).The average annual reporting rate was higher in males than in females(65.19/100,000 vs.36.05/100,000,x2=101.000,P＜0.001).The occupation distribution of the patients was mainly farmers(55.04％),followed by houseworkers and the unemployed(18.54％).Conclusion The epidemics of pulmonary tuberculosis in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region during 2016-2020 showed an overall downward trend.The eastern region and Alxa League should be taken as the key prevention and control areas,farmers as well as herdsmen aged ≥ 60 years should be taken as the key groups of prevention and treatment,and further efforts should be made to effectively control the epidemics of pulmonary tuberculosis.
