Abstract
Aim. Analysis of infectious disease incidence among physicians and nursing staff in Moscow during 2018−2023. Materials and Methods. Data on infectious diseases among physicians and nursing staff (2018−2023) in Moscow were obtained from the automated information system «ORUIB» and Federal Statistical Monitoring Form No. 2 («Information on Infectious and Parasitic Diseases»). The study included a total of 25,125 cases of infectious diseases among physicians and nursing staff using a complete sampling method, including 652 cases of tuberculosis, 733 cases of pneumonia, and 14,720 cases of novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19). Results. Tuberculosis incidence among physicians and nursing staff during 2018−2023 exceeded the tuberculosis incidence of the adult population of Moscow. An increase in tuberculosis incidence was observed among physicians from 51.98 (95 % CI [36.96–66.99]) in 2018 to 107.34 (95 % CI [85.77–128.91]) per 100,000 physicians in Moscow, and among nursing staff from 19.26 (95 % CI [11.21–27.30]) in 2018 to 181.18 (95 % CI [156.52–205.85]) per 100,000 nursing staff in Moscow. With the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, pneumonia incidence among the adult population of Moscow increased sharply from 371.32 (95 % CI [367.49–375.15]) in 2019 to 2,558.47 (95 % CI [2,5418.52–2,568.42]) per 100,000 adult population in Moscow. Conclusion. Tuberculosis, pneumonia, and COVID-19 continue to remain significant problems for physicians and nursing staff.
