Abstract:
Objective To investigate the registration and epidemiological characteristics of notifiable infectious diseases in a tertiary hospital in Guangzhou during 2020-2024,providing evidence for infectious disease prevention,control,and hospital infection management.Methods A retrospective analysis of surveillance data on statutory infectious diseases reported by the hospital from 2020 to 2024 was conducted using descriptive epidemiological methods.Results From 2020 to 2024,a total of 46229 cases of notifiable infectious diseases were reported at a tertiary hospital in Panyu District,Guangzhou,with an annual in-crease in reporting rates.Disease classifications showed Category B diseases accounted for 29.64％(13 703 cases),Category C diseases for 43.04％(19 895 cases),and other legally managed diseases for 27.32％(12 631 cases).Male patients signifi-cantly outnumbered female patients(63.8％ vs.36.2％).The most frequently reported infectious diseases were influenza(11 603 cases,25.10％),hand-foot-and-mouth disease(6 188 cases,13.4％),and hepatitis B(4 110 cases,8.9％).Sta-tistically significant differences(P＜0.05)were observed in disease composition ratios across years,age groups,genders,and seasons.Seasonal distribution was notable:influenza was prevalent in winter and spring(41.99％,27.16％),hand-foot-and-mouth disease peaked in summer(26.10％),and liver fluorosis was prominent in autumn(22.40％).Conclusion Notifiable infectious diseases exhibit distinct population and seasonal distribution patterns.Prioritized prevention and control measures should focus on influenza,hand-foot-mouth disease,and hepatitis B,with an integrated prevention and control system tailored to high-risk population characteristics and seasonal epidemiological patterns.
