WHAT IS ALREADY KNOWN ON THIS TOPIC?: Norovirus is the leading cause of global acute gastroenteritis outbreaks. Norovirus outbreaks mainly occur in schools and kindergartens in China, always causing public health issues.
WHAT IS ADDED BY THIS REPORT?: Conditional logistic regression method was used to analyze the risk factors for norovirus outbreaks in schools and kindergartens, and found that students vomiting at school or kindergarten, case activity in public areas, and the first case's classroom less than 5 meters from toilets were risk factors.
WHAT ARE THE IMPLICATIONS FOR PUBLIC HEALTH PRACTICE?: Effective measures to address these factors can help reduce the risk of norovirus outbreaks in schools and kindergartens.
诺如病毒是全球急性肠胃炎暴发的主要原因。在中国,诺如病毒暴发主要发生在学校和幼儿园,常引发公共卫生问题。
采用条件逻辑回归方法分析学校和幼儿园诺如病毒暴发的风险因素,发现学生在学校或幼儿园呕吐、在公共区域的活动情况以及首例病例所在教室距离厕所不到5米是风险因素。
针对这些因素采取有效措施有助于降低学校和幼儿园诺如病毒暴发的风险。
