Abstract

Objective To establish a plague emergency response capability evaluation system for disease control agencies, and to provide a theoretical basis for effective plague control and emergency response. Methods Documents and literatures on plague control and emergency response were collected. Evidence-based evaluation of the literature, expert consultation, and group discussion as well as two rounds of Delphi method were performed to establish the evaluation indices of plague emergency response capability of disease control agencies. Two experts who participated in both the first and second rounds of consultation were selected to conduct pairwise comparisons of the primary and secondary indices. Analytic hierarchy process was used to determine the weights of the primary and secondary indices, and to establish an evaluation index system for plague emergency response capability. The non-parametric Kendall's coefficient of concordance (W) was used to measure the consistency of expert opinions. Results A total of 14 experts participated in the first round of consultation and 12 experts participated in the second round of consultation. The questionnaire response rate was 93.33% and 85.71%, respectively. The expert familiarity index was 0.94 and the expert authority index was 0.88. Therefore, the experts were familiar with the indices and the results were authoritative. In the first and second rounds of expert consultation, the importance of primary and secondary indices and the availability of Kendall's W test were statistically significant (all P<0.05). Therefore, the coordination of expert opinions was good. Through two rounds of Delphi expert questionnaire surveys, an evaluation system of plague emergency response capability for disease control agencies was established, which composed of 11 primary indices and 57 secondary indices. Conclusion The plague emergency response capability evaluation system is in line with the actual situation, and the indices have high reliability. The system can be used to effectively evaluate the plague emergency response capability of disease control agencies.
