Specifically, the annual decrease rates for the age groups of 0\u201314 years, 15\u201359 years and \u226560 years were 11.62% (95% CI \u221220.26% to \u22122.16%), 6.44% (95% CI \u221210.37% to \u22122.46%) and 5.15% (95% CI \u22129.12% to \u22121.07%), respectively. The annual incidence of major viral RIDs (measles, influenza, mumps, varicella and rubella) fluctuated between 111.70 per 100\u2009000 and 541.12 per 100\u2009000. No significant temporal trend was observed for major viral RIDs in Baiyin City. With the exception of pertussis, measles and rubella, the overall incidence rate was significantly higher in males than in females (p&lt;0.01). The major viral RIDs predominantly affected children aged 0\u201314 years, while the major bacterial RIDs were primarily observed in individuals aged 60 years and older.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>From 2014 to 2023, the annual incidence of major bacterial RIDs in Baiyin City showed an overall decline, mainly due to a reduction in tuberculosis incidence, whereas the annual incidence of major viral RIDs fluctuated and rose sharply in 2023. The overall incidence of both major bacterial and viral RIDs was consistently higher in males, with major viral RIDs occurring predominantly in children aged 0\u201314 years and major bacterial RIDs being more common in older adults aged \u226560 years. Further efforts are needed to monitor the epidemiological patterns and develop strategies to reduce the incidence of major viral RIDs, particularly among children aged 0\u201314 years.<\/jats:p>\n
