Abstract

Background: Indonesia’s Ministry of Health reported 3,944 cases of diphtheria that occurred between 2011 and 2017 with 142 deaths. One of the cities with a high number of diphtheria cases is Cirebon. This study aimed to determine the factors related to diphtheria outbreaks in Cirebon.Methods: This observational study used a case-control design with a descriptive-analytic type. The total samples in this study were 33 with 11 case groups and 22 control groups. The independent variables consisted of age, nutritional status, immunization status, sex, and source of transmission. The sources of research data were medical records and questionnaires. The data were analyzed through univariate, bivariate, and multivariate analyses with p = 0.05 Results: The variables with a significant correlation with diphtheria were immunization status (p = 0.009), age (0.022), and source of transmission (p = 0.033). Meanwhile, nutritional status (p = 0.721) and sex (p = 1,000) were not related to diphtheria. The most influential variable was immunization status with 22.727 OR. The factors associated with unimmunized individuals or incomplete immunizations were low levels of education, poor knowledge, poverty, misconceptions, and certain religious beliefs in which immunization is not allowed.Conclusion: The factors related to diphtheria incidence are immunization status (the most dominant factor), age, and source of transmission.
