Abstract：OBJECTIVE To analyze the tuberculosis(TB)epidemic in Qingpu District of Shanghai from 2005 to 2022,which aims to discover the spatial aggregation and spatial and temporal characteristics of tuberculosis incidence in the region,so as to provide a reference basis for the effective development of prevention and control strategies.METHODS Tuberculosis registration report data of Qingpu District of Shanghai from January 1st,2005,to December 31st,2022,were screened from the China Disease Control and Prevention Information System,and spatial global autocorrelation,spatial local autocorrelation,and spatio-temporal scanning analyses were carried out.RESULTS The number of male TB patients in Qingpu District of Shanghai was higher than the number of female patients from 2005 to 2022,and the number of TB patients in the age group of 20～39 years was the highest.In terms of time,the incidence of all streets(towns)in Qingpu District generally increased from 2013 to 2015,and most of the streets(towns)reached the peak incidence in previous years during the period,and the incidence of all streets(towns)showed a gradual decline trend after 2015.In terms of space,the overall incidence of Qingpu District east(town)and west street(town)was higher than the central street(town).There was a significant positive correlation in the spatial incidence of TB in 2011,2013,2016,2017,and 2020,which presented an obvious spatial clustering trend.While in 2010,the spatial incidence of TB presented a negative correlation.The average annual registration rate of TB patients in the streets(towns)of Qingpu District from 2005 to 2022 showed an uneven spatial distribution.The patients with TB from 2015 to 2022 showed obvious spatio-temporal clustering features.CONCLUSION There were significantly more male than female tuberculosis cases in Qingpu District from 2005 to 2022,and tuberculosis patients were mainly concentrated in the age group of 20～39 years old,and showed spatial and temporal aggregation,with high incidence areas mainly concentrated in the western part of Qingpu District.The relevant departments should strengthen screening for high incidence areas and high-risk groups,and formulate categorized and time-phased prevention and control measures,so as to effectively prevent and control tuberculosis epidemics.
