Abstract:
Objective To analyze the characteristics of detections of public health emergencies caused by infectious diseases in China in 2023 reported through Public Health Emergency Management Information System, and provide evidence for the improvement of the reporting quality of the public health emergencies in China.
Methods We analyzed the incidence data of public health emergencies caused by infectious diseases in China in 2023, and investigated the initial information source of the public health emergencies.
Results In 2023, the public health emergencies caused by infectious diseases were mainly detected by centers for disease control and prevention (238 events, 35.47%), hospitals (205 events, 30.55%) and schools (161 events, 23.99%), accounting for 90.01% of the total. Additionally, 32 public health emergencies were identified through intelligent early warning. In the public health emergencies caused by infectious diseases in 2023, the median interval between the onset of the first case and the detection was 6.83 days (interquartile range: 4.19−9.94).
Conclusion The detections of public health emergencies caused by infectious diseases showed varied characteristics in China in 2023, and the value of intelligent early warning has gradually became obvious, providing data support for the further establishment and improvement of intelligent multi-source trigger surveillance and early warning system for infectious diseases. It is suggested to optimize the intelligent surveillance and early warning system and improve the information integration and risk assessment for the rapid detection of public health emergency.
