Abstract:
Objective To analyze the epidemiology and trends of measles,tuberculosis,pertussis,scarlet fever,influenza,mumps and rubella in Beijing between 2014 and 2023 in order to provide data for prevention and control of related diseases.Methods Data on the incidences of seven respiratory infectious diseases in Beijing between 2014 and 2023 was collected.Descriptive epidemiological methods were employed to analyze their demographic,temporal and spatial distribution.Joinpoint regression analysis was used to assess temporal trends in incidence.Results A total of 1 406 777 cases of seven respiratory infectious diseases were reported in Beijing between 2014 and 2023,which corresponded to an average crude rate of 649.76/100 000 reported annually.The crude rate of incidencewas higher among females than among males,with the most vulnerable age groups being 0-4 years and 5-19 years,and was higher in the six districts than on the outskirts.Most of the respiratory infectious diseases peaked in winter and spring.The annual increase in the incidence of respiratory infectious diseases in Beijing in this period averaged 27.27％,with no statistically significant differences in trends.The incidence rates of measles,tuberculosis,scarlet fever,mumps and rubella decreased significantly while those of pertussis and influenza increased,but with no statistically significant difference.Conclusion The overall incidence of major respiratory infectious diseases in Beijing is increasing.It is recommended that more people get vaccinated,surveillance of such diseases as pertussis and influenza be enhanced,and regional health resources be allocated more effectively,all of which will be critical to subsequent prevention and control of respiratory infectious diseases in Beijing.
