Abstract:
Objective:To analyze public health emergencies in schools and associated economic loss in Luoyang from 2010 to 2019, and to provide suggestions for developing evaluation mechanism for economic loss of public health emergencies in school settings.
Methods:Data of public health emergencies in schools during 2010-2019 in Luoyang was analyzed by descriptive epidemiological method; the integrity and logicality of the economic losses reports in emergencies were assessed; the overall economic losses of emergent events of public health in schools were evaluated.
Results:Among the 60 public health emergencies reported during 2010 to 2019 in Luoyang, 24 (40.00%) occurred in schools. Infectious diseases accounted for 91.67%(22). The peaks of public health emergencies were in May and December. Among the 24 public health emergencies, 50.00%(12) occurred in primary schools, with 386 (58.22%) cases. Nearly 75.00% (18/24) of public health emergencies in schools were reported, among them, reports with reasonable integrity accounted for 5.56% (1/18) and reports with logicality accounted for 38.89% (7/18). The highest integrity rate was found in disease prevention and control system (75.00%), while health supervision and law enforcement ranked the lowest (20.83%). According to the economic losses, the expense used for disease control and prevention was in front of the row(￥429 000), while the expense used for health supervision ranked at the bottom(￥20 800).
Conclusion:The reporting rate of economic losses of school public health emergencies in Luoyang is relatively high, but there is still a big gap in the integrality and logicality of the data. It is necessary to improve the standard of direct network reports of economic losses and to establish an effective evaluation mechanism for accurately responding to public health emergencies and evaluating economic losses.
