Measuring the impact of hepatitis A virus in Chinese cities: a life table approach. Abstract Text:

D Lai,R J Hardy,

The infection of hepatitis A virus is an important public health problem in China. In 1990, a survey on seroprevalence of anti-hepatitis A was conducted in eight large cities of population size between one to four million. The results were used to analyze the impact of hepatitis A. In our study, we used life table techniques to determine the impact that the hepatitis A virus (HAV) has on these eight cities by computing the expected years of life with anti-hepatitis A virus. We compared the results from our approach with those from a previous method. The expected years of life with anti-hepatitis A virus were 53.82, 54.65, 44.26, 53.89, 46.18, 55.77, 55.31 and 49.89 for the eight cities (Xi'an, Huhehaote, Chongqing, Nanjing, Jinan, Ha'erbin, Fuzhou and Nanchang), respectively. The hepatitis A virus had the greatest impact in Ha'erbin in northeastern China; whereas, the impact was lowest in Chongqing in southwestern China. However, based on the previous indicator, Chongqing was ranked the highest among these cities. Through our comparative study of the methods, our approach provides a better measure on the burden of the disease than the previous method. It also identifies subgroups of the population where the disease has its greatest impact on the population.
