Abstract:Abstract: OBJECTIVE To analyze the epidemiological patterns and distribution characteristics of public health emergencies in schools in Huangshan from 2015 to 2024,and to provide data support for the scientific and precise formulation of infectious disease prevention and control strategies in schools. METHODS Based on the surveillance report data of public health emergencies in schools in Huangshan from 2015 to 2024,descriptive epidemiological methods were used for analysis.RESULTS A total of 100 public health emergencies in schools were reported in Huangshan from 2015 to 2024,all of which were infectious diseaserelated cluster outbreaks. The main epidemic pathogens were varicella,hand foot and mouth disease,and influenza.The onset of outbreaks was predominantly concentrated in November and December each year.Primary schools were the most common settings(40.00%),with an attack rate of 4.89%.The attack rate in township schools was significantly higher than that in urban schools(x²=353.70,P<0.05).The intervention response time was positively corelated with the duration of the emergencies(r=0.754,P<0.05).CONCLUSION From 2015 to 2024,public health emergencies in schools in Huangshan were predominantly caused by respiratory infectious diseases,with a high incidence in winter and spring,and a more severe prevention and control situation in rural areas.Health management,health education,and early warning response capabilities should be strengthened,particularly in primary schools,especially those in township areas,to reduce the risk of disease transmission.
