Abstract:
Objective To analyze the spatial distribution and drug resistance characteristics of pulmonary tuberculosis in Nantong area, and to explore its spatial aggregation characteristics, so as to provide reference for the prevention and treatment of pulmonary tuberculosis in this area in the future. Methods We collected information on tuberculosis cases in Nantong for 2017-2021 years, and compared the characteristics of newly diagnosed / retreated drug-resistant pulmonary tuberculosis in urban and rural areas and North and South regions. At the same time, the situation of drug resistance was discussed, and the differences of drug resistance distribution in different regions were compared. The “hot zone” and “cold zone” of drug-resistant tuberculosis were explored with the help of spatial autocorrelation analysis. Results In the past 2017-2021 years , 485 cases of TB patients were included in this study, including 267 male patients and 218 female patients. The number of elderly patients was more than that of the 55-74 year old group (220/485) 45.36%. The total resistance rate of drug-resistant TB patients was 18.14% (88/485). There were statistically significant various in drug resistance rates among various age, gender, region,occupation and treatment classification. The drug resistance rates of male , 30-59 year old age group and unemployed patients in occupation were the highest. Haichuan and ruzha counties are “drug-resistant development areas”, and “Haichuan and ruzha” are “drug-resistant development areas”. Conclusion The high-risk population of pulmonary tuberculosis in Nantong from 2017 to 2021 is male and elderly. Relevant departments can improve the effect of prevention and control by strengthening the management of high-risk groups and high aggregation areas of drug-resistant pulmonary tuberculosis.
