OBJECTIVE
This study aimed to assess the magnitude of malaria and its associated risk factors in urban, Batu town, Oromia Regional State, Ethiopia.
METHODS
This health-facility based prospective cross-sectional study enrolled 356 febrile malaria patients to assess risk factors associated with malaria infection.
RESULTS
An overall positivity rate of 17.13% (61/356) for malaria infection was observed. Among the malaria-positive patients, 50.8% (31/61) of them were positive for , 45.90% (28/61) were positive for , and 3.3% (2/61) had mixed infections of and . Logistic regression analysis revealed that individuals who possessed insecticide-treated net (Odds ratio [OR] = 0.38, 95% confidence interval [CI] [0.194, 0.743]) and whose houses were sprayed with insecticides (OR = 0.18, 95% CI [0.097, 0.34]) were significantly less likely to have a malaria infection. Individuals living closer to stagnant water had a significantly greater chance of malaria infection than those who lived a distance from stagnant water (OR = 0.34, 95% CI [0.19, 0.59]).
CONCLUSION
The present study revealed that malaria remains a public health problem in the urban area of Batu town, which suggests that the same might be true for other urban areas in the country.
目的
本研究旨在评估埃塞俄比亚奥罗米亚地区巴图镇城市地区疟疾的流行程度及其相关危险因素。
方法
本基于卫生机构的前瞻性横断面研究纳入了 356 例发热性疟疾患者，以评估与疟疾感染相关的危险因素。
结果
总体疟疾感染阳性率为 17.13%（61/356）。在疟疾阳性患者中，50.8%（31/61）为阳性，45.90%（28/61）为阳性，3.3%（2/61）为混合感染。logistic 回归分析显示，使用驱虫蚊帐的个体（优势比 [OR] = 0.38，95%置信区间 [CI] [0.194，0.743]）和其房屋被喷洒杀虫剂的个体（OR = 0.18，95% CI [0.097，0.34]）发生疟疾感染的可能性显著降低。居住在死水附近的个体比居住在远离死水的个体更有可能感染疟疾（OR = 0.34，95% CI [0.19，0.59]）。
结论
本研究表明，疟疾仍然是巴图镇城市地区的公共卫生问题，这表明该国其他城市地区可能也存在同样的情况。
