Objective:
To understand the epidemiological characteristics of viral hepatitis B in Shaoxing from 2008 to 2018,so as to provide basis for formulating the viral hepatitis B prevention and control strategy.
Methods:
The data of viral hepatitis B cases in Shaoxing from 2008 to 2018 were collected from infectious diseases reporting and management system. Descriptive epidemiological method was employed to analyze the time,place and population characteristics of viral hepatitis B cases in Shaoxing. Annual percentage change(APC)was calculated to analyze the development trend of viral hepatitis B.
Results :
From 2008 to 2018,a total of 22 764 cases of viral hepatitis B were reported in Shaoxing,with an average annual incidence rate of 42.24/100 000 and a standardized incidence rate of 39.19/100 000. The incidence rate of viral hepatitis B decreased from 2008 to 2018,among which the APC from 2012 to 2018 was -18.00% with a significantly downward trend(P<0.05). Six counties,cities or districts in Shaoxing reported cases of viral hepatitis B,of which Zhuji(49.40/100 000),Yuecheng(44.17/100 000)and Xinchang(43.28/100 000)ranked top three in average annual incidence rate. The incidence rate of viral hepatitis B in men was 57.07/100 000,which was higher than 27.33/100 000 in women(P<0.05).The age of onset was mainly 25-59 years old,with 16 941 cases(74.42%)reported. The top three occupations were farmers,workers and migrant workers,with 15 013(65.95%),2 730(11.99%)and 1 121(4.92%)cases reported,respectively.
Conclusions
The incidence of viral hepatitis B in Shaoxing from 2008 to 2018 showed a downward trend. Farmers,workers and migrant workers aged 25-59 years were at high risk of hepatitis B infection.

Objective:
To investigate the epidemiological characteristics of hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) in Shaoxing City from 2006 to 2022, so as provide insights into improvements of the HFRS control strategy.
Methods:
Data pertaining to HFRS cases in Shaoxing City from 2006 to 2022 were captured from the Surveillance System of China Information System for Disease Control and Prevention. The temporal, population and regional distributions of HFRS were analyzed using the descriptive epidemiological method, and the trends in incidence of HFRS were evaluated using annual percent change (APC).
Results:
Totally 1 022 HFRS cases were reported in Shaoxing City from 2006 to 2022, with annual average incidence of 1.22/105 and three deaths. The incidence of HFRS appeared a tendency towards a decline in Shaoxing City from 2006 to 2022 (APC=-11.101%, t=-9.930, P<0.001), and the incidence of HFRS peaked from May to June and from November to January of the next year. A higher incidence of HFRS was seen in men than in women (1.76/105 vs. 0.68/105; χ2=201.361, P<0.001). There were 714 HFRS cases at ages of 30 to 59 years (69.86%), and farmers were the predominant occupation (78.18%). The three counties with the largest number of HFRS cases included Zhuji (366 cases), Xinchang (263 cases) and Shengzhou (134 cases). The incidence of HFRS was lower in urban districts (Yuecheng, Keqiao and Shangyu) than in counties (Zhuji, Shengzhou and Xinchang) (0.58/105 vs. 1.96/105; χ2=326.880, P<0.001).
Conclusion
The incidence of HFRS appeared a tendency towards a decline in Shaoxing City from 2006 to 2022, and the incidence was high in late spring, early summer and winter. The HFRS cases were mainly males, young and middle-aged people, and farmers, and predominantly distributed in counties. Targeted control measures are needed.
