Hepatitis E infection is an important problem in developing countries.Hepatitis E vaccination is important for prevention but it influenced by the resident's knowledge. The Qingdao residents' knowledge of hepatitis E is still unknown. This study used online survey on the Wechat platform for investigation. Chi-square test was used to compare the hepatitis E influencing factors between subgroups. Binary logistic regression was used for multiple factor analysis to explore the hepatitis E influencing factors.We have found the total awareness rate of hepatitis E was 60.51%. Females, aged between 51 and 60, aged 61 and above, worked in governmentaffiliated departments were found to have higher awareness rate than other subgroups. The participants who have family members infected with hepatitis E were found to have lower awareness rate. The government and relevant departments should focus on the education of the hepatitis E vaccination and the disease process.

“…Currently, the application of spatial analysis methods to explore the spatial-temporal clustering of various types of enteric infectious diseases has become a research hotspot. According to the literature, however, there is a lack of analysis of the prevalence and spatial-temporal clustering of HE within Jiangsu province, although it is a hotspot for HE incidence in China ( 19 ).…”

ObjectiveThis study attempts to analyze the spatial clustering and spatial-temporal distribution characteristics of hepatitis E (HE) at the county (city and district) level in Jiangsu province to provide a scientific basis for the prevention and control of HE.MethodThe information on HE cases reported in the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention Information System from 2005 to 2020 was collected for spatial autocorrelation analysis and spatial-temporal clustering analysis.ResultFrom 2005 to 2020, 48,456 HE cases were reported in Jiangsu province, with an average annual incidence rate of 3.87/100,000. Male cases outnumbered female cases (2.46:1), and the incidence was highest in the 30–70 years of age group (80.50%). Farmers accounted for more than half of all cases (59.86%), and in terms of the average annual incidence, the top three cities were all in Zhenjiang city. Spatial autocorrelation analysis showed that Global Moran's I of HE incidence varied from 0.232 to 0.513 for the years. From 2005 to 2020, 31 counties (cities and districts) had high and statistically significant HE incidence, and two clustering areas were detected by spatial-temporal scanning.ConclusionHE incidence in Jiangsu province from 2005 to 2020 was stable, with age and gender differences, regional clustering, and spatial-temporal clustering. Further investigation of HE clustering areas is necessary to formulate corresponding targeted prevention and control measures.

“…Using Baidu to search for medical information has become well-accepted habit among the majority of Chinese people. The online health information search behavior has been proven to help the general public access health education and understand prevention and treatment behaviors [15][16][17]. The query frequency of keywords for certain diseases could been highly correlated with the symptoms of the diseases that patients present or their treatment needs, providing the real disease characteristics, as well as the instant medical demand trend of the population [15,18].…”

Background Allergic rhinitis is a common health concern that affects quality of life. This study aims to examine the online search trends of allergic rhinitis in China before and after the COVID-19 epidemic and to explore the association between the daily air quality and online search volumes of allergic rhinitis in Beijing. Methods We extracted the online search data of allergic rhinitis-related keywords from the Baidu index database from January 23, 2017 to June 23, 2022. We analyzed and compared the temporal distribution of online search behaviors across different themes of allergic rhinitis before and after the COVID-19 pandemic in mainland China, using the Baidu search index (BSI). We also obtained the air quality index (AQI) data in Beijing and assessed its correlation with daily BSIs of allergic rhinitis. Results The online search for allergic rhinitis in China showed significant seasonal variations, with two peaks each year in spring from March to May and autumn from August and October. The BSI of total allergic rhinitis-related searches increased gradually from 2017 to 2019, reaching a peak in April 2019, and declined after the COVID-19 pandemic, especially in the first half of 2020. The BSI for all allergic rhinitis themes was significantly lower after the COVID-19 pandemic than before (all p values < 0.05). The results also revealed that, in Beijing, there was a significant negative association between daily BSI and AQI for each allergic rhinitis theme during the original variant strain epidemic period and a significant positive correlation during the Omicron variant period. Conclusion Both air quality and the interventions used for COVID-19 pandemic, including national and local quarantines and mask wearing behaviors, may have affected the incidence and public concern about allergic rhinitis in China. The online search trends of allergic rhinitis can provide useful information for health authorities and professionals to monitor the public needs and interests and to deliver timely and tailored health education and prevention strategies.
