Objective　To analyze the current situation and influencing factors of health-care seeking delay among pulmonary tuberculosis patients in Qingpu District of Shanghai from 2011 to 2022, and to provide a scientific basis for tuberculosis prevention and control. Methods　The data of pulmonary tuberculosis patients in Qingpu District of Shanghai from 2011 to 2022 was collected through the China Tuberculosis Information Management System to describe the distribution and change trend of the delay in health-care seeking. Univariate analysiswas performed using the chi-square (χ²) test, and the time trend of rates was tested with the trend chi-square (trend χ²) test. Multivariate logistic regression model analyzed the influencing factors of the delay in health-care seeking. Results　From 2011 to 2022, there were 3 488 cases of pulmonary tuberculosis in Qingpu District, with 1 438 patients experiencing health-care seeking delay. The median (quartile) number of days of delay was M (P25, P75) = 10 (2, 24) days, and the rate of health-care seeking delay was 41.23%. The annual rate of health-care seeking delay fluctuated between 33.88% and 50.45% from 2011 to 2022, with statistically significant differences between different years (χ²=38.355, P<0.001), and an upward trend in the health-care seeking delay rate was observed from 2020 to 2022 (χtrend²=13.290, P<0.001). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that compared to male, those under 25 years old, with local household registration, and detected through health check-ups, females (OR=1.21, 95%CI:1.04-1.41), those aged 45 to <65 (OR=1.36, 95%CI:1.06-1.75), intra-city migrants (OR=1.35, 95%CI:1.09-1.68), inter-provincial/overseas migrants (OR=1.50, 95%CI:1.23-1.83), and patients who directly sought medical care (OR=3.52, 95%CI:2.27-5.47), transfer treatment (OR=2.07,95%CI：1.31-3.25), referral (OR=2.16, 95%CI:1.36-3.44), follow-up (OR=3.07, 95%CI:1.74-5.44) patients with pulmonary tuberculosis were more likely to delay health-care, and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). Compared to sputum-positive patients, those with sputum-negative tests (OR=0.76, 95%CI: 0.59-0.97) were less likely to experience delayed health-care, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusions　Health-care seeking delay of pulmonary tuberculosis patients is relatively common in Qingpu District of Shanghai. Corresponding intervention measures should be adopted for risk factors and key populations to further improve the health-care seeking delay.
