Abstract:
Objective To investigate the epidemiological characteristics and trends in the prevalence of tuberculosis among in the six urban districts of Tianjin from 2014 to 2023, so as to provide scientific basis for the prevention and control of tuberculosis. Methods Data on the occurrence of new tuberculosis cases among in the six urban districts of Tianjin from 2014 to 2023 were collected through the Tianjin Infectious Disease Report Information Management System, and the epidemiological characteristics of new tuberculosis cases were descriptively analyzed. Then the Average Annual Percentage Change (AAPC) statistics were used to characterize the magnitude and direction of trends. Results A total of 17 818 tuberculosis cases were reported in the six urban districts of Tianjin from 2014 to 2023 , with an average annual reported prevalence rate of 25.61/100 000. The prevalence rate of tuberculosis in the six urban districts of Tianjin from 2014 to 2023 showed a decreasing trend, reporting a prevalence rate of 35.47/100 000 in 2014 and 22.72/100 000 in 2023, and AAPC is -4.86% (-7.13% to -1.56%) , with statistical difference (P<0.05). In terms of gender, the overall prevalence rate of tuberculosis was 31.17/100,000 in males and 19.47/100,000 in females, with statistical difference (χ2=276.12 , P<0.05). The incidence in people younger than 25 years and older than 55 years is on the rise from 2014 to 2023. In terms of occupation, household duties, unemployed people, retired people and office clerks showed a high prevalence rate of tuberculosis. Conclusion The overall prevalence of adult tuberculosis in the six urban districts of Tianjin from 2014 to 2023 shows a decreasing trend, whereas the prevalence rate of males is higher than that of females, and the elderly, families, unemployed people, retirees and office clerks are high-risk groups, so targeted preventive and control measures, health education and screening should be strengthened.
