Analysis of the frequency of therapy-oriented oral radiation in Nanping,China
Objective To investigate the frequency of therapy-oriented oral radiation in Nanping,China and its distribu-tion,and to provide a basis for the rational application of therapy-oriented oral radiation and the effective allocation of re-sources in Nanping.Methods A questionnaire was designed to investigate the frequency of therapy-oriented oral radiation in all oral radiation diagnosis and treatment institutions in Nanping.Results In 2021,there were 54 oral radiation diagnos-is and treatment institutions and 79 oral radiation machines in Nanping.The total frequency of therapy-oriented oral radi-ation was 61 593 visits and the radiation frequency was 19.54 visits per thousand patients.The average annual frequency of medical institutions at all levels was 721.87 to 3 713.25 visits per institution;the male-to-female composition ratio of fre-quency of therapy-oriented oral radiation in December 2021 was 50.5％:49.5％.The proportion of radiation frequency of dif-ferent devices was as follows:38.7％(intraoral dental film),46.5％(oral panorama),10.3％(oral computed tomography[CT]),and 4.5％(cranial photography).The proportion of radiation frequency in patients of different ages was as follows:17.1％(0-15 years),48.2％(15-40 years),and 34.7％(over 40 years).The frequency of therapy-oriented oral radiation grew by 77.43％,35.18％,and 8.16％every two years from 2015 to 2021,respectively.Conclusion The frequency level of ther-apy-oriented oral radiation in Nanping is at the level of Class Ⅱ health care.The distribution of therapy-oriented oral radi-ation is highly unbalanced and is related to the level of economic development.Private healthcare institutions are growing rapidly,and public healthcare institutions of grade two and above occupy the main healthcare resources.The oral panorama accounts for the most,cranial photography accounts for the least,and oral CT is the fastest-growing portion.Therapy-ori-ented oral radiation is predominantly performed in the young and middle-aged populations,regardless of sex.Except for in-traoral dental films,the general trend is upward.
