Among the 1400 patients who lived in Shenzhen less than 1 year, 17 patients had established health records (accounted for 1.2%), and among the 596 patients who lived in Shenzhen between 1-2 years, 13 patients had established health records (accounted for 2.2%). Among the 1226 patients who lived in Shenzhen above 3 years, 13 patients had established health records (accounted for 1.1%). Among the 568 patients with Shenzhen residence card, 9 patients had established health records (accounted for 1.6%). There was no statistical difference between Shenzhen residence time, handling Shenzhen residence permit and whether to establish health records (χ ²=4.10, P=0.129; χ ²=0.33, P=0.576).Conclusion The health files of tuberculosis and suspected patients in Longhua District are low, and there is no association with residence time and residence permit.
