Abstract:Objective To analyze the registration and treatment outcomes of active tuberculosis (TB) and smear-positive tuberculosis in Changji Hui Autonomous Prefecture and Karamay City, Xinjiang during 2001-2015, and to provide a scientific basis for evaluating the quality of work regarding the case-finding and treatment of TB in the two regions. Methods We collected the information about TB patients registered in the printed-form TB Registration and Management Card in the two regions during 2001-2004 and the data about TB patients’ registration and treatment outcomes from the national network reporting system for TB since 2005. SPSS 19.0 software was used to analyze the changes in the registration rate of active TB cases and the curative rate of smear-positive TB cases. Results The average registration rates of the active TB cases in Changji Hui Autonomous Prefecture and Karamay City were 53.43/100,000 and 45.18/1,000,000 respectively, with a statistically significant difference (χ2=54.32, P<0.05). The average registration rates of the new-registered smear-positive TB cases in the two regions were 21.80/100,000 and 17.68/100,000, with a statistically significant difference (χ2=17.68,P<0.05). The average curative rates of the new-registered smear-positive TB cases in the two regions were 92.07% and 93.63% respectively, showing no statistically significant difference (χ2=0.15, P>0.05). The average completed treatment rates of the smear-negative TB cases were 94.29% and 96.88% respectively, showing no statistically significant difference (χ2=0.34, P>0.05). Conclusions The registration rates of active TB cases and smear-positive TB cases in Changji Hui Autonomous Prefecture and Karamay City in 2001-2015 showed a downward tendency, suggesting that the TB epidemics in both regions were under good control. The average curative rates of new-registered smear-positive TB cases in the two regions both met the national demand, indicating normative treatment and management of TB patients. But the responsibility of the designated hospitals in Karamay City should be further intensified so as to improve the quality of work concerning case-finding, treatment and management.
