Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the willingness of patients with Kashin-Beck disease (KBD) to accept drug treatment and its influencing factors in Shaanxi Province, in order to provide a reference for promoting the standardized management of KBD patients.Methods:The general information of KBD patients in Shaanxi Provincial Endemic Disease Prevention and Control Information System from January 2018 to December 2020 was collected, including gender, age (< 50, 50 - 79, ≥80 years old), ethnicity (Han nationality, others), education level (primary school and below, junior high school, senior high school and above), occupation (farmer, others), region (northern Shaanxi, central Shaanxi, southern Shaanxi), disease severity (gradeⅠ,Ⅱ,Ⅲ), etc. A face-to-face questionnaire survey was conducted to investigate the willingness of KBD patients to accept drug treatment, mainly including the willingness of patients to accept drug treatment, management services (whether the poor population, participation in medical insurance, disability assessment) and the implementation of comprehensive prevention and control measures (type of drinking water, types and sources of staple food, relocation from other places and returning farmland to forests). Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the influencing factors of KBD patients' willingness to accept drug treatment.Results:A total of 58 501 KBD patients were included, including 51.60% (30 185/58 501) males and 48.40% (28 316/58 501) females; the median age was 64 years old; the ethnicity was mainly Han nationality, accounting for 99.87% (58 427/58 501); the education level of primary school and below accounted for 81.76% (47 831/58 501); the occupation was mainly farmers, accounting for 99.24% (58 059/58 501); mainly distributed in central Shaanxi [81.40% (47 619/58 501)]; patients with gradeⅠaccounted for 63.68% (37 254/58 501). Totally 89.02% (52 078/58 501) of KBD patients were willing to accept drug treatment. By multivariate logistic regression analysis, gender, age, education level, disease severity, region, medical insurance, disability assessment, type of drinking water, type of staple food, relocation from other places and returning farmland to forests were the influencing factors of KBD patients' willingness to accept drug treatment ( P < 0.05). Conclusions:KBD patients in Shaanxi Province have a high willingness to accept drug treatment. In the future, the standardized management of KBD patients should take into account the factors such as age, education level, disease severity and region, and implement precise drug treatment.
