Abstract:Objective To compare and analyze the reported incidence rates of syphilis and its estimated infection rates based on population in Wuhan City, and to evaluate the epidemiological characteristics and trend of syphilis in Wuhan City. Methods The data regarding the reported syphilis cases in Wuhan City during 2010-2015 were derived from China Disease Prevention and Control Reporting System, and the changing trend of online-reported incidence rates of syphilis was analyzed. The data related to population sizes and infection rates of four types of high-risk groups were obtained from Wuhan Municipal Center for Disease Control and Prevention. The data concerning syphilis screening tests in blood donors, inpatients, pregnant women and puerperae were collected from 21 medical institutions in Wuhan City. The workbook method was employed to estimate the infection rates of the whole population in Wuhan City, and the trends were analyzed. Results The reported incidence rates of expressive syphilis in Wuhan City during 2010-2015 showed a downward tendency (Ztendency=-25.206, P<0.01), while the reported incidence rates of latent syphilis and the infection rates of syphilis in the whole population showed an upward tendency (Ztendency= 8.639, P<0.01; Ztendency=185.036, P<0.01). There was a statistically significant difference in the correlation between the reported incidence rates of latent syphilis and the infection rates of syphilis in the whole population (T=4.24, P=0.0133). Conclusions Estimating the infection rate of syphilis in the population is an important supplement to the data of online-reported syphilis incidence, which will contribute to objectively analyzing the changing trend of syphilis epidemic.
