Abstract:
Objective To analyze the current situation, change trend and influencing factors of the delay in the treatment of tuberculosis patients in Xianning from 2008 to 2021, and to provide a scientific basis for controlling the tuberculosis epidemic. Methods The current situation and trend of the delay in the treatment of tuberculosis patients in Xianning City from 2008 to 2021 were described, and the multivariate Logistic regression analysis model was used to explore the influencing factors of the treatment delay in tuberculosis patients. Results The delay rate of seeking medical care for tuberculosis patients in Xianning from 2008 to 2021 was 58.53%, and the delay rate in the first six years tended to be stable. From 2014 to 2016, it increased slightly and then decreased year by year to 44.76% in 2021. Different gender and age groups showed the same trends as overall patients. The analysis results of the multivariate Logistic regression analysis model showed that females, household registration address in Jiayu County, occupations including service industries, workers, farmers and herdsmen, retirees, and others, the diagnosis result being positive for etiology, and the direct treatment in the patient source were high-risk factors for patients with delayed treatment. The risk of delay in treatment in ≥ 65-year-old patients was lower than that of < 25-year-old patients. Conclusion From 2008 to 2021, the phenomenon of delay in the treatment of patients with pulmonary tuberculosis in Xianning City is relatively common, and the high-risk factors of the delay in treatment need to be paid more attention to.
