[Analysis of syphilis antibody screening results of outpatients and inpatients in a hospital in Beijing from 2016 to 2020].

The results of syphilis antibody screening in Peking University Third Hospital from 2016 to 2020 were analyzed,to explore the characteristics of sex, age and distribution of patients with positive syphilis antibody. A retrospective study was conducted to collect the results of syphilis antibody in outpatients and inpatients of Peking University Third Hospital from 2016 to 2020. Syphilis antibodies were screened in 626 528 patients aged 1-98 years, 4 232 were retested positive by TPPA test, including 2 132 males (50.4%) and 2 100 females (49.6%). Chemiluminescence immunoassay (CMIA) was used for syphilis antibody screening, and Treponema pallidum particle agglutination (TPPA) test was used for reexamination. SPSS20.0 data statistical analysis software was used to analyze the detection rate, age, sex, department and clinical diagnosis of patients with positive syphilis antibody by χ² test. Among 626 528 patients who were positive for treponema pallidum antibody screening, 4 232 were retested positive by TPPA test, accounting for 0.68% of the total number of patients tested. The number of syphilis tests increased year by year, however the positive detection rate decreased. The positive detection rate of syphilis antibody in 2020 decreased by 18.9% compared with 2016. The positive rate of syphilis antibody in male patients was higher than that in female patients, accounting for 0.80% and 0.59% of the total number of patients tested respectively. The positive rate of syphilis antibody of different genders increased with age, the total positive rate of 0-20, 21-40, 41-60, 61-80,>80 years old were 0.15%, 0.45%, 0.95%, 1.07% and 1.41%, respectively. While the increase rate of males was higher than that of females. The positive rate of male over 80 years old was 18.13 times of the group of 0-20 years old, and 5.54 times in women. The top 6 departments with positive syphilis antibody detection rate were emergency department, oncology department, respiratory department, geriatrics department, endocrinology department and neurology department, and the positive rates were 1.79% (104/5 810),1.46% (55/3 767),1.20% (74/6 167),1.20% (22/1 833),1.10% (32/2 909),1.09% (94/8 624), respectively. From the analysis of clinical diagnosis, the proportion of positive syphilis antibody in infertile patients (0.64%, 672/104 911) was higher than that in naturally conceived patients (0.10%, 24/23 969). From 2016 to 2020, the positive detection rate of syphilis antibody in Peking University Third Hospital decreased year by year. However, the positive detection rate increased with the age of patients. The positive rate of syphilis antibody in male was higher than that in female. The positive rate of syphilis antibody in pregnant women was lower than that in infertile patients.
