Abstract: Objective To understand the implementation effect of Tuberculosis Control Program (2001—2010) of Juxian and find out the characteristic of TB incidence, provide scientific basis for TB control strategies in Juxian.Methods The total population is 12 166 055 during 2003—2013 in Juxian. Through TB information mana-gement system and relevant statistic reports, we analyzed TB registration rate, epidemiological character and trea-tment effect of 4481 TB patients registered during 2003 to 2013 of Juxian, and evaluated the effect and social benefit of DOTS strategy.Results During 2003—2013 registration rates of active and new SS+ pulmonary TB cases were 36.83/105 (4481/12 166 055) and 21.59/105 (2627/12 166 055) respectively. The male to female ratio is 2.74∶1. In terms of the age distribution, the first three age group is 15- age group which accounted 21.36% (957/4481), 55- age group which accounted 17.96% (805/4481) and 65-74 age group which accounted 15.53% (696/4481). In terms of the occupational distribution, the first place is farmer, accounted 87.61% (3926/4481). Sputum conversion rates of new and retreatment SS+TB cases were 98.82% (2596/2627) and 95.91% (211/220). The average cure rate of SS+ TB cases was 95.36% (2715/2847). It avoided 22 460 people from being infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis, and avoided 2246 people from active TB, saved medical costs of 1 533 765 Yuan and restore economic losses worth a total of 266 685 094 Yuan for society.Conclusion Modern TB control strategy was promoted actively in Juxian. TB registration rate showed a downward trend during 2003—2013. TB cure rate reached and exceeded the requirement of national TB program. DOTS strategies received significant effect.
