目的： 分析上海市新型冠状病毒肺炎（COVID-19）早期境外输入病例流行特征及防控措施，为输入性疫情的防控工作提供参考依据。 方法： 资料来源于全国传染病报告信息管理系统截至2020年3月30日上海市COVID-19境外输入病例数据及上海市各级CDC流行病学调查报告，相关防控措施信息来源于政府相关部门官网及发布平台。采用EpiData 3.1、Excel 2019和SAS 9.4软件进行数据整理与统计学分析。 结果： 截至2020年3月30日，上海市累计报告境外输入病例171例（确诊病例170例，无症状感染者1例）。其中，中国籍122例（71.3%，122/171），外籍49例（28.7%，49/171）；年龄中位数为23（P(25)，P(75)：18，35）岁，男女性别比为1.3∶1，学生占56.6%（97/171）；入境前发病者占45.6%（78/171）；临床分型为轻/普通型病例占96.5%（165/171），中国籍和外籍病例的临床分型差异无统计学意义。流行曲线按确诊日期于3月24日达到峰值，随着防控措施"口岸联防联控机制闭环管理模式"落实，病例数逐渐下降。… Read more
The outbreak of the coronavirus disease 2019 was first reported in Wuhan in December 2019 and gradually spread to other areas in China. After implementation of prevention and control measures, the estimation of the epidemic trend is needed. A phase- and region-adjusted SEIR model was applied for modeling and predicting the number of cases in Wuhan, Hubei Province and regions outside Hubei Province in China. The estimated number of infections could reach its peak in late February 2020 in… Read more
