Abstract: ObjectiveTo analyze the effect of TB prevention and control among floating population in Suzhou. MethodsTB prevention and control project in floating population of China Global Fund TB Program Round 5 (phaseⅠ) was implemented in Suzhou. The data of the TB cases in floating population were collected and analyzed. They were compared with the National “Five rates” and the indexes of resident population. ResultsIn the floating population, the accomplishment ratio of case detection task of new smear positive tuberculosis was 110.0%, the reporting rate、referring rate、cure rate of patients and examination rate of close contact of smear positive tuberculosis patients were up to par. The arrival rate after referring、arrival rate after tracing、overall arrival rate were above the national average level, while most of them were lower than that in the resident population. ConclusionsThe effect of TB prevention and control among floating population in Suzhou is good. But it is poor in the floating population, comparing with the resident population. The result of preventing and controlling TB in the floating population is affected by many uncertain factors. It is suitable to evaluate the work of tuberculosis prevention and control in the floating population and in the resident population separately in different areas.
