Spatiotemporal patterns and 2025 forecasting of other infectious diarrheal diseases in Beijing, China: a 21-year population-based study (2004-2024).

ABSTRACT:

Background

Other Infectious Diarrheal Diseases (OIDD), caused by pathogens excluding Vibrio cholerae, Shigella, Salmonella typhi, and Salmonella paratyphi, remain a significant public health concern in China. Beijing, a megacity with high population density, extensive mobility, and a temperate monsoon climate, is a prototypical example of temperate monsoon megacities globally. Long-term OIDD patterns, spatiotemporal distribution, and future trends in such dense urban settings are poorly understood, and insights from Beijing can provide valuable guidance for similar cities worldwide.

Methods

We retrieved case data on OIDD reported in Beijing during 2004-2024 from the Chinese Disease Prevention and Control Information System. Descriptive epidemiology, spatial autocorrelation a
