Tuberculosis (TB) specialized hospitals are playing an increasingly important role in the diagnosis and treatment of patients with TB in China. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of TB among health care workers (HCWs) in TB specialized hospitals in China.
We conducted a cross-sectional survey to collect longitudinal information on the number of HCWs and patients with TB from HCWs among 203 TB hospitals in China.
Overall, these 186 TB cases accounted for the incidence of 985 per 100,000 population. The prevalence ratios among medical professionals (PR = 2.40) and laboratory technicians (PR = 2.17) were significantly higher than other hospital staff (PR = 1.04). In addition, general hospitals with TB clinics had the highest prevalence ratio of TB (PR = 5.15), while designated TB hospitals had the lowest prevalence ratio (PR = 1.48).
Our findings demonstrated that HCWs are suffering from an increased risk of infection with TB in China, and medical professionals (physicians and nurses) and general hospitals with TB clinics have the highest prevalence ratio of TB.
在中国,结核病专科医院在结核病患者的诊断和治疗中发挥着越来越重要的作用。本研究旨在调查中国结核病专科医院医护人员中结核病的患病率。
我们进行了一项横断面调查,以收集来自中国203家结核病医院医护人员的关于医护人员和结核病患者数量的纵向信息。
总体而言,这186例结核病病例占每10万人口中985例的发病率。医学专业人员(患病率比=2.40)和实验室技术人员(患病率比=2.17)中的患病率显著高于其他医院工作人员(患病率比=1.04)。此外,设有结核病门诊的综合医院结核病患病率最高(患病率比=5.15),而指定的结核病医院患病率最低(患病率比=1.48)。
我们的研究结果表明,在中国,医护人员感染结核病的风险增加,医学专业人员(医生和护士)以及设有结核病门诊的综合医院结核病患病率最高。
