Abstract:

Shuyang Center for Disease Control and Prevention inspected the registration data of tuberculosis-related departments (including outpatient department, radiology department, laboratory department and record room, etc.) in eight general hospitals at or above level Ⅱ in Shuyang County in 2018 and 2019. The results showed that report rate (92.38%, 788/853), referral rate (82.88%, 707/853) and referral arrival rate (86.42%, 611/707) in 2018 were significantly lower than those in 2019 (96.79%, 753/778; 90.23%,702/778; 95.58%, 671/702) (χ2 values were 15.156, 18.681 and 36.255, P values were all less than 0.001). Consider that the report rate, referral rate and referral arrival rate in 8 general hospitals at or above level Ⅱ are satisfactory in 2018 and 2019, and all indicators in 2019 are higher than those in 2018, there is still room for further improvement.
