Abstract:Objective To analyze case finding and treatment outcomes of pulmonary tuberculosis in Xinjiang from 2006 to 2015 so as to provide scientific evidence for better TB control in Xinjiang. Methods We used the data collected from Tuberculosis Information Management System (hereinafter referred to as TB special report) of the National Information System for Disease Prevention and Control, Xinjiang TB Control Quarterly Report during 2006-2015 (all TB patients statistically registered by TB prevention institutions) and TB special survey to investigate the referral and tracing situation of 299,338 TB patients reported by non-TB medical institutions via Infectious Disease Reporting Information Management System (hereinafter referred to as network direct reporting) in Xinjiang from 2006 to 2015. And we also analyzed the visiting situation of 999,482 TB suspected symptom patients hospitalized in TB prevention and treatment institutions in Xinjiang and the registration status of 281,867 active TB patients discovered by TB prevention and treatment institutions in Xinjiang. Results During 2006 and 2015, the average referral arrival rate and average tracing arrival rate of TB patients reported by non-TB medical institutions through network direct reporting were 32.6% (97,675/299,338) and 66.6% (121,843/183,047) respectively. The overall arrival rate of TB patients reported by non-TB medical institutions through network direct reporting increased from 61.3%(13,180/21,501) in 2006 to 90.0% (41,409/45,986) in 2015. A total of 999,486 patients with TB suspected symptoms were treated by TB medical institutions at all levels. A total of 281,867 active TB patients were detected by TB medical institutions at all levels, including 115,067 smear-positive TB patients, 1,66,635 smear-negative patients and 165 patients without sputum smear examination. The proportion of initial treatment patientsamong smear-positive patients gradually decreased from 82.0% (13,949/17,017) in 2006 to 74.7% (5,718/7,658) in 2015.The proportion of smear-negative patients among active TB patients gradually increased from 43.1% (25,005/32,666) in 2006 to 76.5%(12,903/29,920)in 2015. Conclusions The detection level of TB patients in Xinjiang Automous Region has been continously increased through the efforts of TB medical institutions at all levels. The overall arrival rate of TB suspected patients reported by non-TB medical institutions and the quality of TB services also increase constantly. Xinjiang has achieved remarkable results in TB prevention and control.
