To understand the current status and trends of the burden of mushroom poisoning diseases in Guizhou Province from 2011 to 2023, providing a basis for the formulation of rational prevention and control measures.
A descriptive analysis was conducted on mushroom poisoning incident data from the “Foodborne Disease Outbreak Monitoring System” in Guizhou Province from 2011 to 2023. The mushroom poisoning mortality data were organized by gender, age, and year. The World Health Organization’s Excel template was used to calculate Years of Life Lost (YLLs) due to premature death, and the human capital method was employed to estimate the indirect economic burden caused by mushroom poisoning in Guizhou Province. The Join point regression model was utilized to analyze the temporal trends in incidence rates, mortality rates, and YLLs rates of mushroom poisoning.
From 2011 to 2023, Guizhou Province reported a total of 2 518 mushroom poisoning outbreaks, affecting 8 716 individuals and resulting in 97 deaths, with a mortality rate of 0.25 per 100 000 population. The total YLLs for the entire population was 2 139 person-years, with a YLLs rate of 5.55 person-years per 100 000; YLLs and YLLs rates for males were higher than those for females. The highest YLLs were observed in the 45 to <60 age group, while the highest YLLs rate was found in the 60 to <70 age group. The overall indirect economic burden of the 97 mushroom poisoning deaths in Guizhou Province was 40.8 569 million yuan, averaging 421 200 yuan per case. From 2011 to 2023, the incidence rate of mushroom poisoning in Guizhou Province showed a continuous upward trend, while both the mortality rate and YLLs rate exhibited a continuous downward trend, with annual percentage changes (APC) of 26.79%, -17.76%, and -16.70%, respectively (P<0.05).
The incidence rate of mushroom poisoning in Guizhou Province is on a continuous rise, with higher YLLs in males compared to females and the highest YLLs observed in the 45 to <60 age group, corresponding to a significant indirect economic burden. It is essential to enhance effective public education and continue to strengthen medical treatment to reduce the occurrence of toxic mushroom poisoning.
