Abstract:
Objective:To understand the incidence and spatial-temporal distribution characteristics of hepatitis B among residents in a county of western Liaoning province from Jan 2011 to Dec 2021.Methods:Data on hepatitis B incidence were obtained from the Disease Prevention and Control Center of the county,and its crude incidence and standardized incidence were calculated.ArcGIS software was used to analyze the global spatial autocorrelation analysis and local spatial autocorrelation analysis of hepatitis B incidence in the county.A space-time scan analysis was performed using SaTScan software to identify the case distribution and spatiotemporal clustering patterns of hepatitis B incidence.Results:From Jan 2011 to Dec 2021,there were 2 978 cumulative cases of hepatitis B in the county,with a crude incidence of 69.25 per 100 000 and a standardized incidence of 70.13 per 100 000.Among different regions,Toutai Manchu Town had the highest crude incidence of hepatitis B,followed by Gaotaizi Town and Chengguan Street.The global autocorrelation showed an aggregated distribution in 2014,2016,2019,and 2021.The local autocorrelation hotspots were clustered in the central and western parts of the county,the H-H clustering areas included Toutai Manchu Town and Jiudaoling Town from 2014 to 2016,Toudaohe Manchu Town,Yizhou Street and Chengguan Street from 2017 to 2019,and Qianyang Town and Yizhou Street from 2020 to 2021.The L-L clustering areas were mostly concentrated in the southwest of the county,including Dizangsi Manchu Township,Dadingbao Manchu Township and Liulonggou Manchu Township.A total of 4 clustering areas were obtained by temporal-spatial scanning analysis,the first-level area was Zhangjiapu Township in 2017,the second-level area included Qianyang Town and Chengguan Street from 2011 to 2015,the third-level area was Gaotaizi Town from 2013 to 2016,and the fourth-level area was Toutai Manchu Town from 2014 to 2017.Conclusions:From Jan 2011 to Dec 2021,the incidence of hepatitis B among residents in a county in western Liaoning Province is mainly concentrated in the central and northwest regions.The hepatitis B cases are clustered in the central and western areas of the county,and has a trend of gradually spreading to the northern areas over time.It is necessary to pay attention to the townships with high incidence of hepatitis B and carry out effective prevention and surveillance.
