武汉市部分城区药店分布与人口分布的关联性分析

目的:了解武汉市部分城区药店分布与人口和地域等因素的关系。方法:采用Pearson积差相关检验和Spearman秩相关检验对药店分布与人口分布数据进行统计分析。结果:零售药店分布与人口分布情况在很大程度上有相似性,但在局部区域零售药店的分布表现出相对不足与过饱和。结论:由于多种因素作用,导致武汉市部分城区零售药店分布的合理性仍然欠佳,药监部门应规范审批标准,零售药店自身也需要合理统筹规划。

Correlation between Distribution of Retail Pharmacies and Population Distribution in Wuhan City

OBJECTIVE: To study the correlation between distribution of pharmacies and that of population in Wuhan. METHODS: Pearson correlation test and Spearman's rank correlation test were applied for the statistical analysis of the correlation between distribution of pharmacies and that of population. RESULTS: The distribution of retail pharmacies was in a significant positive correlation with that of population; However, in some areas of Wuhan, the distribution of retail pharmacies was characterized by relative insufficient or oversaturation. CONCLUSIONS: Many factors led to the lack of rationality in the distribution of retail pharmacies in some area in Wuhan. Drug control department should standardize examination and approval standards and the retail pharmacies should have a reasonable overall planning.
