Abstract：Objective To explore the risk factors for tuberculosis(TB)in Pingyang County and to identify the emergency equipment needs and modular strategies for the disease control system.Methods A total of 100 TB patients and 100 healthy subjects in Pingyang County were included as research subjects.The risk factors affecting the occurrence of TB were analyzed,and a questionnaire survey on the demand for modular emergency equipment among local medical staff was conducted.Results Smoking history(OR=2.291,P=0.001),contact history with TB patients(OR=2.212,P＜0.001),and silicosis(OR=1.701,P=0.003)were identified as risk factors for TB in this area,while BCG vaccination was a protective factor(OR=0.526,P=0.003).Medical staff considered the necessity of equipping sampling devices such as TB pathogen antibody test kits(x2=42.761,P＜0.001),mobile phones(x2=68.421,P＜0.001),voice recorders(x2=36.235,P＜0.001),and digital cameras(x2=53.887,P＜0.001)for field investigation,and masks(x2=15.706,P＜0.001)for protective equipment.Conclusion Smoking history,contact history with TB patients,and silicosis are the main risk factors for TB in this area,while BCG vaccination is a protective factor.It is recommended to strengthen screening and vaccination of high-risk populations,and improve the emergency equipment level of disease control systems in sampling,field investigation,disinfection,and protection.
