| Core Tip |
Seventy medical institutions, including 36 hospitals, 34 Centers for Disease Controls (CDCs), and China Information System for Disease Control and Prevention, were surveyed from 2021 to 2022. The 36 hospitals included 4 provincial hospitals (the First and Second-People’s Hospital of Yunnan, and the First and Second Affiliated Hospitals of Kunming Medical University), 8 prefectural hospitals, and 24 county hospitals. The 34 CDCs included the Yunnan Institute of Parasitic Diseases, 9 prefectural CDCs, and 24 county CDCs. Information on echinococcosis cases from the ultrasound department, hepatobiliary surgery department, and case archives in the hospitals was retrospectively surveyed and recorded. The registration and management information of echinococcosis was consulted through the CDCs. The collected information of cases was organized and summarized before being entered into the database. Patient-privacy data were not included. |
