摘要: 约翰·斯诺(John Snow,1813-1858),是麻醉医学和流行病学界举足轻重的人物。他通过调查证明霍乱经患者粪便污染的水传播,首次提出霍乱的防治措施,阻止了19世纪英国霍乱蔓延。1854年,他对伦敦索霍区霍乱暴发的调查创造性地使用了对比分析,使现场调查在医学研究中具有独特的意义。"霍乱流行图"的绘制也使标点地图法成为流行病学一项基本研究方法,斯诺也因此被誉为"流行病学之父"。Abstract: John Snow (1813-1858), a famous anesthesiologist and epidemiologist. Through investigation, he proved that cholera was transmitted by water contaminated by feces, and first put forward measures to prevent cholera, which prevented the spread of cholera in Britain in the 19th century. The investigation of cholera outbreak in Soho District of London in 1854 creatively used statistical methods for comparative analysis to determine the unique significance of field investigation in medical research. The drawing of "cholera epidemic map" also made mapping a basic research method in epidemiology. Snow was also known as "the father of epidemiology".
