BackgroundHand, foot, and mouth disease (HFMD) has become one of the most important infectious diseases recent years. Qingdao City has suffered from serious HFMD epidemic. This study aimed to describe epidemiological characteristics and investigate spatial-temporal distribution at town level in Qingdao City.MethodThe surveillance data of HFMD during 2013-2018 were collected from the National Notifiable Disease Surveillance System. The global Moran's I statistic was used to detect the spatial autocorrelation of HFMD cases by ArcGis 10.0 software. Purely spatial and spatial-temporal analysis was used to detect epidemic clusters by SatScan(TM) v9.6 software.ResultsThe annual average incidence of HFMD cases in Qingdao City from 2013 to 2018 was 123.16 per 100000, while the incidence rate of children
