Abstract:
Objective To investigate the epidemiological characteristics and risk factors of tuberculosis in Cangzhou from 2010 to 2020. Methods A total of 325 patients diagnosed with pulmonary tuberculosis in Cangzhou Hospital of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine from January 2010 to December 2020 were selected as the study group. At the same time, 348 healthy adults who had a physical examination in the same hospital were selected as the control group. The epidemiological characteristics of 325 patients were analyzed. The age, gender, occupation, annual family income, marital status, drinking history, smoking history, education level and tuberculosis contact history of the two groups were compared to analyze the risk factors of tuberculosis. Results The epidemiological and statistical analyses found that among 325 cases of tuberculosis patients, patients ≥60 years old accounted for a relatively high proportion (71.08%). The majority of patients were male by gender (58.15%), and the majority of patients were farmers by occupation (47.69%). The incidence seasons were mainly in winter (40.62%) and spring (29.85%). The results of univariate analysis showed that there were statistically significant differences in gender, occupation, age, history of exposure to tuberculosis, and history of smoking between the two groups (P<0.05). Multivariate analysis found that ages ≥60 years old, male, history of smoking, farmers, and history of exposure to tuberculosis were risk factors for the onset of tuberculosis (P<0.05). Conclusion In Cangzhou, people aged over 60 years, male and farmers are prone to contract tuberculosis, and the peak time of the disease is in spring and winter. The development of corresponding prevention and control measures based on these characteristics is of great significance for the prevention and control of tuberculosis.
