Giardiasis is one of the most common intestinal infections in the world. There have been no national studies on the morbidity of giardiasis in Colombia. In this study, incidence rates of giardiasis were estimated for the years 2009-2013.
An observational, retrospective study of the giardiasis incidence in Colombia, 2009-2013, was performed using data extracted from the personal health records system (Registro Individual de Prestación de Servicios, RIPS). Official population estimates from the National Department of Statistics (DANE) were used for the estimation of crude and adjusted incidence rates (cases/100 000 population).
During the period studied, 15 851 cases were reported (median 3233/year; 5-year cumulated crude national rate of 33.97 cases/100 000 population). Of these, 50.3% were female; 58.4% were <10 years old and 14.8% were 10-19 years old. By region, 17.7% were from Bogotá (10.07 cases/100 000 population, 2009), 10.9% from Antioquia (9.42, 2009), 8.6% from Atlántico (15.67, 2009), and 6.5% from Risaralda (33.38, 2009). Cases were reported in all departments (even insular areas).
As giardiasis is neglected in many countries, surveillance is not regularly undertaken. Despite its limitations, this study is the first attempt to provide estimates of national giardiasis incidence with consistent findings regarding affected age groups and geographical distribution.
贾第虫病是世界上最常见的肠道感染之一。哥伦比亚尚未对贾第虫病的发病率进行过全国性研究。本研究旨在估算 2009-2013 年期间贾第虫病的发病率。
采用观察性、回顾性研究方法，利用个人健康记录系统（Registro Individual de Prestación de Servicios，RIPS）中的数据，对哥伦比亚 2009-2013 年的贾第虫病发病率进行了研究。使用国家统计局（DANE）的官方人口估计数来估算粗发病率和调整发病率（每 10 万人中有多少例病例）。
在所研究期间，报告了 15851 例病例（中位数为 3233 例/年；5 年累计全国粗发病率为 33.97 例/10 万人）。其中，50.3%为女性；58.4%年龄<10 岁，14.8%年龄为 10-19 岁。按地区划分，17.7%来自波哥大（2009 年每 10 万人中有 10.07 例，2009 年），10.9%来自安蒂奥基亚（9.42，2009 年），8.6%来自大西洋（15.67，2009 年），6.5%来自里萨拉尔达（33.38，2009 年）。所有省份（甚至岛屿地区）均有病例报告。
由于许多国家忽视了贾第虫病，因此没有定期进行监测。尽管存在局限性，但本研究首次尝试提供全国贾第虫病发病率的估计值，结果显示了受影响的年龄组和地理分布情况。
