Objective:
To establish a risk assessment index system for epidemic infectious diseases in primary and secondary schools, for early warning and prevention of school infectious diseases accurately and timely.
Methods:
Through literature review, the indicators pool was established by consulting relevant experts and referring to practical experience. Then two rounds of expert consultation using the Delphi method were conducted(13 experts of round 1, and 20 experts of round 2). The concentration of expert opinions (the average, the percentage of full marks) and the coordination of expert opinions (the coefficient of variation, the coordination coefficient W ) were calculated and analyzed. The coordination coefficient W was obtained by nonparametric Kendall s W test of multiple samples. According to the experts feedback, necessary addition, reduction and modification of the indicators were carried out to determine the evaluation index system, and the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) was used to calculate the weight of each indicator.
Results:
The expert authority coefficients of the two rounds of consultation were 0.89 and 0.88, respectively, and the form recovery rate was 100%. The range of the variation coefficient of each three level indicator was 0.07-0.31 and 0.06-0.19, and the coordination coefficient W was 0.25 and 0.47, respectively, indicating that the consistency and credibility of expert opinions were good. Finally, the risk assessment index system of infectious diseases in primary and secondary schools was established, which was composed of 5 first level indexes, 23 second level indexes and 86 third level indexes. The AHP was used to calculate the intra level weight of the index. The variation coefficient of five first level indicators of school health management and security system, school health personnel facilities, health monitoring and cognition level, severity and coping measures were 0.09, 0.06, 0.08, 0.12 and 0.06 , respectively, and the weight coefficients were 20.42%, 21.19%, 19.87%, 17.45% and 21.08%, respectively.
Conclusion
The risk assessment index system of school infectious diseases is applicable to primary and secondary schools. The initiative, coordination and authority of experts in this system are all high. It is of practical guiding significance for the early warning of infectious diseases in primary and secondary schools.

ObjectiveTo understand the internet media information of COVID-19 in Shanghai in 2022, to provide evidence for health administration departments to respond to public health emergencies, and to establish a comprehensive public health media surveillance system. MethodsData on internet media information and the local COVID-19 epidemic data in Shanghai from January 1 to June 30, 2022 were collected and analyzed. ResultsA total of 90.197 3 million pieces of internet media information were monitored. The top four sources of the information were Weibo (36.84%), short videos (26.19%), internet media (14.47%), and forums (13.31%). The variation trend of daily internet media surveillance information was identified with the number of newly reported cases per day, and a correlation was found (r=0.770. After the seven-day moving average,r=0.796). Frequent keywords included Shanghai, cheer up, nucleic acid, new cases, local, asymptomatic, prevention and control, gratitude, isolation, epidemic prevention, supplies, pandemic response, patient, seeking help, and clearing the cases. Within the information on Weibo, in addition to netizens in Shanghai (7 823 100) who were highly concerned about the pandemic, netizens from Beijing (2 749 100), Guangdong Province (2 352 300), Jiangsu Province (2 189 100) and Zhejiang Province(1 532 100) also posted a relatively high amount of information related to COVID-19 in Shanghai. ConclusionThe outbreak of major infectious diseases triggers significant online activity, and platforms such as Weibo and short video platforms play crucial roles in disseminating internet media information. Weibo, short videos etc. are important platforms for current internet media information. Strengthening media information monitoring and analysis, paying close attention to hot events, taking timely response measures and actively engaging in risk communication contribute to the response and management of public health emergencies.

ObjectiveBased on the investigation of the core capacity development of health emergency response of Shanghai disease prevention and control institutions after the COVID-19 pandemic, to analyze the shortcomings of health emergency response capacity of Shanghai disease prevention and control institutions, and to put forward suggestions to improve the core capacity of Shanghai's disease prevention and control system in the face of public health emergencies. MethodsUsing questionnaire surveys, investigations and evaluations were conducted on the emergency system development, epidemic monitoring and risk assessment, emergency team manpower and equipment, and actual response to COVID-19 in 16 district-level disease prevention and control institutions in Shanghai. ResultsThe overall public health emergency response capacity building of the district-level disease control agencies in Shanghai is relatively good, and the effect of capacity building has been proven during the handling of the new coronavirus. But at the same time, it also exposed some specific problems such as imperfect system construction, lack of emergency personnel and materials, insufficient on-site handling capabilities of personnel, and uneven allocation of emergency personnel and materials among different agencies. ConclusionShanghai district-level disease control should focus on the specific problems, such as strengthening the development of health emergency system, improving the human resources and material reserves of the emergency teams, and optimizing the laboratory testing ability, to further improve the core health emergency capacity of Shanghai disease control system.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the current situation of human resource allocation in district and county centers for disease control and prevention (CDCs) in Kashgar , identify existing problems and influencing factors, and to provide scientific evidence for optimizing the human resource allocation. MethodsA survey was conducted among all CDCs in Kashgar in February 2022. The questionnaire included the institutional and individual questions. ResultsThe overall staff size approved for the CDCs in Kashgar was 604, with a staffing rate of 76.17%, among which the staffing rates in 5 county CDCs were less than 60%. Currently, there were a total of 524 approved staff members in all CDCs, resulting in a vacancy rate of 13.25%. In the district CDC, 85 staff members were on duty, while the median of staff on duty was 34 in each county CDC. The staff in the district CDC was ageing, of which those aged over 45 accounted for 67.06%. The staff in the county CDCs was generally young, of which those aged less than 35 accounted for 54.22%. Moreover, the proportion of staff with bachelor’s degree or above in the district and county CDCs was 31.76% and 24.95%, respectively. The proportion of staff without professional title was 32.94% and 48.03%, respectively. In contrast, the proportion of those with middle and senior professional title was 57.89% and 22.02%, respectively. In addition, in recent 3 years, 24 staff members resigned in the CDCs, all of whom had professional titles. ConclusionHuman resources are insufficient in CDCs in Kashgar. Furthermore, staff structure is unreasonable, with a serious loss of human resources. In particular, the district CDC needs to optimize the allocation of human resources.

OBJECTIVETo establish an emergency response capability assessment indexes for disease control and prevention institutions.
METHODSHealth emergency response capability assessment indexes of Shanghai Centers for Disease Control and Prevention(CDCs) was drafted based upon documentary analysis, expert consultation and focus group discussion according to duties and features of emergency work of CDCs. The assessment indexes were determined by applying Delphi method (18 experts), and the weights of indexes were determined using analytic hierarchy process and proportional distribution method. And then the established index system was used to assess the emergency response capability of CDCs in Shanghai.
RESULTSTwo rounds of expert consultations were conducted. Kendall's coefficient of concordance was 0.420 and 0.495 at the first and second round of expert consultations respectively. After two rounds of consultations, the expert authority score was above 0.7. There were 7 primary indexes, 24 secondary indexes and 84 third-level indexes. The seven primary indexes included emergency management system, emergency response team, surveillance and early-warning ability, emergency response capacity, emergent supply capability, communication and cooperation, scientific research and exchange, with systematic weights of 0.2123, 0.1754, 0.1334, 0.1916, 0.1281, 0.0962 and 0.0630,respectively. According to the investigation, Shanghai Municipal Center for Disease Control and Prevention ranked first in the total score of emergency response capability evaluation.
CONCLUSIONSThe indexes identified in this study have good reliability and feasibility, and can be used in assessment of emergency response capability in disease prevention and control institutions.

ObjectiveTo determine the current status and characteristics of tuberculosis (TB) registration and treatment in Kashgar, and to provide scientific evidence for targeted prevention and control measures in future. MethodsKashgar registered TB cases information in 2011 to 2020 was exported from the National Tuberculosis Management Information System. Descriptive epidemiological analysis was conducted using Stata 12.0. ResultsFrom 2011 to 2020, number of Kashgar registered TB patients showed rising trend, followed by a falling one. Average proportion of annual decline in registered TB incidence was 40.48% from 2018 to 2020. From 2011 to 2016, number of registered TB patients in women was always higher than that in men, with a gender ratio (male : female) of about 0.90. In 2017, the gender ratio was 1.00. From 2018 to 2020, the gender ratios were 1.05, 1.20, and 1.12, respectively. Moreover, number of registered TB cases increased with age (χ2=547.79, P<0.001). Proportion of registered TB cases was relatively large in Shache County (16.43%‒23.64%), Yengisar County (9.51%‒13.87%) , Kashgar City (8.11%‒11.40%), Yecheng County (6.98%‒13.40%) and Bachu County(4.92%‒16.65%). Proportion of recurrent TB cases in Kashgar had increased to 27.29%, 20.77% and 28.39% in 2018, 2019 and 2020, respectively. Multivariate analysis showed that age, drug resistance, calendar year and etiological diagnosis were significantly correlated with the proportion of recurrent cases (all P<0.05). ConclusionSince 2018, TB incidence has decreased significantly due to the increasing efforts for identification and treatment of TB cases. However, Kashgar remains facing a high TB incidence. TB cases that are elderly, drug-resistant and positive for pathogen are susceptible to recurrent treatment. In future, targeted prevention and control measures should be improved for these groups.
