Abstract:
ObjectiveTo analyze the epidemiological characteristics of public health emergencies in Putuo District and provide scientific evidence to effectively respond to public health emergencies in the future. MethodsDescriptive epidemiological methods were used to analyze the data of public health emergencies reported by the national online system in Putuo District from 2004 to 2019. ResultsA total of 59 public health emergencies were reported from 2004 to 2019， during which 1 252 patients and 6 death cases were involved. From 2004 to 2019， the number of public health emergencies in Putuo District first increased and then decreased， fluctuating at a low level yearly. Most of the emergencies were general events （72.88%， 43/59）. 69.49 percent （41/59） of the events were infectious diseases， and 67.80 percent （40/59） occurred in schools and child care institutes， with primary schools with the highest number of events. The peaks of infectious disease events occurred in June and November， while the majority of occupational poisoning and heat stoke events occurred in July and August， with 4 patients dead from heat stroke. The medians of events detection， verification， reporting and controlling timelines were 10.81， 3.00， 1.70 and 307.40 h； different categories of events varied in their detection and controlling time interval （all P<0.01）. Multiple linear regression analysis showed that events detection and verification timelines were correlated with controlling timelines （b=0.766， 0.758， F=3.84， 5.65， all P<0.01）. ConclusionsThe majority of public health emergencies in Putuo District are caused by infectious diseases， especially chicken pox. The prevention and control measures should be strengthened in schools. For occupational poisoning and heat stoke events， attention should be paid to different occupational groups. The capacity of emergency detection and verification should be enhanced to improve the efficiency of incident control.
