To confirm the existence of Outbreak, describe cases in person, place and time, and identify determinants of the outbreak. Unmatched case control study in the ratio of 1:4 (38 cases and 152 controls) was conducted in Artuma Fursi Woreda from July 13 to August 1/2018. Data were collected with standard questionnaires. Collected data were entered into Epi Info version 7 and exported to Statistical package for social science (SPSS) version 23 for analysis.
A total of 38 cases and 1 death with attack rate and case fatality rate 11.8/100,000 and 2.6%, respectively. All study participants had not vaccination history. Females and age group 5-14 were more affected. Being 5-14 years old versus (vs) ≥ 15 years [adjusted odd ratio (AOR) = 3.53; 95% CI 1.52-8.45)], contact with cases vs no contact with cases [AOR = 2.78; 95% CI 1.23-8.67] and travel history 7-18 days prior onset of illness vs no travel history [AOR = 2.53; 95% CI 1.31-7.24] were significantly associated with contracting measles. Routine and supplement immunization should be strengthened to reduce future occurrence of outbreak.
确认疫情的存在,从人员、地点和时间方面描述病例情况,并确定疫情的决定因素。2018年7月13日至8月1日在阿尔图马富尔西县开展了一项病例对照研究,病例与对照比例为1:4(38例病例和152名对照)。通过标准问卷收集数据。收集到的数据录入Epi Info 7版本,并导出到社会科学统计软件包(SPSS)23版本进行分析。
共38例病例,1例死亡,罹患率和病死率分别为11.8/100,000和2.6%。所有研究参与者均无疫苗接种史。女性和5 - 14岁年龄组受影响更大。5 - 14岁与≥15岁相比[调整优势比(AOR)= 3.53;95%置信区间1.52 - 8.45],接触病例与未接触病例相比[AOR = 2.78;95%置信区间1.23 - 8.67],发病前7 - 18天有旅行史与无旅行史相比[AOR = 2.53;95%置信区间1.31 - 7.24],均与感染麻疹显著相关。应加强常规和补充免疫,以减少未来疫情的发生。
