  Objective  To understand the status of the reporting and epidemiological characteristics of notifiable communicable diseases in a grade 3A specialized hospital for cardiovascular disease, and provide scientific evidence for the development of communicable disease and nosocomial infection control measures.

  Methods  A descriptive study was conducted to statistically analyze the reporting rate, population distribution and transmission routes of notifiable communicable diseases reported directly online by Fuwai Hospital of Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences from 2017 to 2022.

  Results  From 2017 to 2022, a total of 655 notifiable communicable diseases were reported om hospital, including 593 cases of class B diseases, 61 cases of class C diseases, and 1 case of other type disease. The total reporting rate showed a decreasing trend year by year, and the top three communicable diseases were recessive syphilis, pulmonary tuberculosis and other infectious diarrhea, mainly hematogenous borne and sexually transmitted diseases.

At the same time, the hospital should pay more attention to emerging acute communicable diseases, such as monkey pox, and improve the ability of emergency response.
