Objectives: ICD-10-based approaches often provide the basis for retrospective estimation of potential palliative care need. Applying the ICD-10-based Murtagh et al. classification from 2014 (Murtagh classification), developed using mortality data, to administrative claims data leads to inconsistencies in estimating palliative care need. The aim of the study was to refine the classification for palliative care need estimation in deceased individuals with cancer and non-cancer diagnosis.

Methods: A retrospective population-based study comparing Murtagh classification to a new ICD-10-based classification (revised by expert opinion) was conducted using outpatient and inpatient claims data, including billing codes for palliative care. Palliative care need was estimated for diagnoses groups and was contrasted with palliative care utilization rates in the last year of life. Our dataset included records of 417,405 individuals who deceased in 2016-2019.

Results: Out of individuals deceased in 2019 (n = 117,436), 81.4% had at least one diagnosis from the new classification, while 97.0% had at least one diagnosis from the Murtagh classification. Classification revision thus identified fewer individuals as potentially in need of palliative care. Among individuals with cancer, 70.7% (vs. 55.7% via Murtagh classification) received palliative care. In non-cancer subgroups, the utilization rate was considerably lower, with a maximum of 36.7% (vs. 33.7% via Murtagh classification) in 2019. Similar results were observed for the other years.

Conclusion: Compared to the ICD10-based Murtagh classification, the revised ICD-10-based classification enables more realistic estimations if the cause of death is unavailable and reveals higher rates of palliative care coverage and differences especially in cancer versus non-cancer diseases.

目的:基于ICD-10的方法通常是对潜在姑息关怀需求进行回顾性估算的基础。将基于 ICD-10 的 Murtagh 等人 2014 年的分类法(Murtagh 分类法)应用于行政报销数据,会导致姑息关怀需求估算的不一致性。本研究旨在完善该分类,以估算已故癌症和非癌症患者的姑息关怀需求:一项基于人群的回顾性研究利用门诊和住院病人的报销数据,包括姑息关怀的计费代码,比较了 Murtagh 分类法和基于 ICD-10 的新分类法(根据专家意见修订)。对各诊断组的姑息关怀需求进行了估算,并与生命最后一年的姑息关怀使用率进行了对比。我们的数据集包括2016-2019年死亡的417405人的记录:在2019年去世的患者中(n = 117,436),81.4%的患者至少有一项诊断来自新分类,而97.0%的患者至少有一项诊断来自穆塔格分类。因此,分类修订后发现可能需要姑息关怀的人数减少了。在癌症患者中,70.7%的人接受了姑息治疗(与穆塔格分类中的 55.7%相比)。在非癌症亚组中,使用率要低得多,2019 年的最高使用率为 36.7%(根据 Murtagh 分类法为 33.7%)。其他年份也观察到类似的结果:与基于 ICD10 的 Murtagh 分类法相比,基于 ICD-10 的修订版分类法在无法获得死因的情况下能够进行更真实的估算,并揭示出更高的姑息治疗覆盖率,特别是在癌症与非癌症疾病中的差异。德国临床试验登记(DRKS00024133)。

Background: Skin is the largest organ in the body and has multiple significant functions. A malformation or injury that compromises its integrity can lead to major issues or even mortality. Wound healing is a vital physiological process of the human skin which facilitates the repair of any damage and the preservation of homeostasis. Possible complications or infections that are fatal may ensue if the patient does not recover within the specified time. Therefore, it is essential to develop biomaterials which facilitate tissue regeneration and exhibit robust biological properties. We conducted a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials to compare combinations of skin replacements and skin grafts to skin grafts alone for wound treatment, as measured by the Vancouver Scar Scale.

Methods: This meta-analysis utilized various databases, including as PubMed, ProQuest, Web of Science, Science Direct, Scopus, EBSCOhost, and ClinicalTrials.gov, to conduct a comprehensive search for randomized controlled trials that compared the effectiveness of combined skin substitutes and skin grafts to skin grafts alone in the treatment of wounds. The results primarily consisted of scar features assessed using the Vancouver Scar Scale.

Results: Meta-analysis was conducted on a sample of 216 participants from 7 randomized controlled trials. The trials were conducted from 2002 to 2015. The study demonstrated that the use of skin substitutes resulted in a statistically significant improvement in Vancouver Scar Scales ratings compared to skin grafts alone. The mean change was 1.38 (95% CI: 0.13-2.63; p = 0.03).

Conclusion: This meta-analysis indicates that the use of skin replacements provides substantial advantages and effectively aids in the closure of wounds. There is no inherent superiority among different skin substitutes. Instead, their suitability for specific patient wound circumstances is the determining factor. A comprehensive and advantageous skin substitute of significant magnitude is needed, rather than relying solely on grafts.

背景:皮肤是人体最大的器官,具有多种重要功能。畸形或损伤损害其完整性可导致重大问题甚至死亡。伤口愈合是人体皮肤的一个重要生理过程,有助于修复任何损伤并保持平衡。如果患者不能在规定时间内恢复,可能会出现致命的并发症或感染。因此,开发有助于组织再生并具有强大生物特性的生物材料至关重要。我们对随机对照试验进行了一项荟萃分析,以温哥华疤痕量表为衡量标准,比较皮肤替代物和皮肤移植的组合与单独使用皮肤移植治疗伤口的效果:这项荟萃分析利用了各种数据库,包括 PubMed、ProQuest、Web of Science、Science Direct、Scopus、EBSCOhost 和 ClinicalTrials.gov,对比较皮肤替代物和植皮联合治疗伤口的效果与单独植皮治疗伤口的效果的随机对照试验进行了全面搜索。结果主要包括使用温哥华疤痕量表评估的疤痕特征:对 7 项随机对照试验的 216 名参与者样本进行了 Meta 分析。这些试验的时间跨度为 2002 年至 2015 年。研究表明,与单纯植皮相比,使用皮肤替代品能显著改善温哥华疤痕量表的评分。平均变化为 1.38(95% CI:0.13-2.63;P = 0.03):这项荟萃分析表明,使用皮肤替代物具有很大的优势,能有效帮助伤口闭合。不同的皮肤替代物之间并不存在固有的优劣之分。相反,它们是否适合患者伤口的具体情况才是决定性因素。我们需要一种综合性的、优势显著的皮肤替代品,而不是仅仅依赖于移植物。

Eclampsia or epilepsy? The intriguing experiences of pregnant women diagnosed with preeclampsia and eclampsia: A descriptive exploratory study. 子痫还是癫痫?被诊断为子痫前期和子痫的孕妇的有趣经历:一项描述性探索研究。
IF 2.3 Q2 MEDICINE, GENERAL & INTERNAL Pub Date : 2024-08-12 eCollection Date: 2024-01-01 DOI: 10.1177/20503121241271768

Aim: The purpose of this study was to explore the experiences of pregnant women who suffer the stressful effects of preeclampsia and eclampsia through pregnancy, delivery, and postpartum.

Methods: A descriptive exploratory approach was adopted to gather in-depth data from women diagnosed with preeclampsia and eclampsia during pregnancy from February to March 2022. Purposive sampling was used to enlist 12 participants from a Municipal Hospital in the Ahafo region of Ghana. Data were analyzed thematically following Braun and Clark approach.

Results: The study found that women had strong negative emotional reactions after being diagnosed with preeclampsia or eclampsia. They frequently felt guilty, angry, scared, in denial, or disbelief about their condition. Many women held mistaken beliefs about the diseases (they misconstrued eclampsia to be epilepsy) and isolated themselves, mainly because of false perceptions and stigma around their illness in the community. Participants expressed unfulfilled needs for informational and emotional support. The information they received about their condition was insufficient, contradictory, and confusing. Some women also felt pressured into having cesarean deliveries without enough discussion or say in the decision-making process.

Conclusion: These findings reveal important psychosocial impacts of preeclampsia/eclampsia and gaps in condition-specific education and empathetic, patient-centered communication. Improving provider knowledge and counseling skills along with community awareness may help address these unmet needs among Ghanaian women facing this threat to maternal health.

目的:本研究的目的是探讨那些遭受子痫前期和子痫压力影响的孕妇在怀孕、分娩和产后的经历:采用描述性探索方法,从 2022 年 2 月至 3 月期间被诊断为子痫前期和子痫的孕期妇女中收集深度数据。在加纳阿哈福地区的一家市立医院中,采用有目的的抽样调查方法招募了 12 名参与者。研究采用布劳恩和克拉克方法对数据进行了专题分析:研究发现,妇女在被诊断为子痫前期或子痫后会产生强烈的负面情绪反应。她们经常感到内疚、愤怒、恐惧、否认或不相信自己的病情。许多妇女对这些疾病持有错误的观念(她们将子痫误认为是癫痫),并将自己孤立起来,这主要是由于社区对她们的疾病持有错误的观念和偏见。参与者对信息和情感支持的需求没有得到满足。她们获得的有关其病情的信息不足、相互矛盾且令人困惑。一些妇女还感到被迫进行剖宫产,但在决策过程中没有充分的讨论和发言权:这些发现揭示了子痫前期/子痫对社会心理的重要影响,以及在针对具体病情的教育和以患者为中心的移情沟通方面存在的差距。提高医疗服务提供者的知识和咨询技能以及社区意识可能有助于解决加纳妇女在面临这一孕产妇健康威胁时尚未得到满足的需求。

Objective: This study aimed to assess hepatic fibrosis, using noninvasive tests, among patients with chronic hepatitis B virus infection in Nigeria.

Methods: The study was a retrospective cross-sectional, hospital-based, multicentered study. The data of adult Nigerians who were aged 18 years and above who had been diagnosed with chronic hepatitis B infection and were not on treatment were extracted from three tertiary health institutions across Nigeria. Sociodemographic and relevant clinical data were obtained from the case notes of the patients. Fibrosis-4 and aspartate aminotransferase platelet ratio index scores were calculated to determine the presence and severity of liver fibrosis in the patients. The data obtained were analyzed using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (version 25.0). A p-value of less than 0.05 was considered as statistically significant.

Results: The data of a total of 234 patients were extracted for this study from across 3 tertiary hospitals in Nigeria. There were 132 (56.4%) males and 102 (43.6%) females in a ratio of 1.29:1 with a mean age of 37.92 ± 12.34 years. The fibrosis-4 score of the patients showed that 62.8% had "Normal/Mild Fibrosis," 25.6% had "Moderate Fibrosis," and 11.5% had "Severe Fibrosis/Cirrhosis." The aspartate aminotransferase platelet ratio index score of the patients showed that 64.1% had "No Fibrosis," 20.9% had "Mild Fibrosis," 6.4% had "Moderate Fibrosis," and 8.5% had "Severe Fibrosis/Cirrhosis." The median fibrosis-4 score of the patients was 1.18 (0.77-1.74), while the median aspartate aminotransferase platelet ratio index score was 0.40 (0.26-0.69). Liver ultrasonography detected cirrhosis in 8.5% of the patients. All the patients were not yet on treatment for hepatitis B infection.

Conclusion: The prevalence of hepatic fibrosis is high among patients with chronic hepatitis B virus infection in Nigeria and a large number of these patients were not yet on therapy. Noninvasive assessment of hepatic fibrosis should be considered as a critical part of the work-up of patients with chronic hepatitis B infection.

目的:本研究旨在通过无创检测评估尼日利亚慢性乙型肝炎病毒感染患者的肝纤维化情况:本研究旨在利用无创检测评估尼日利亚慢性乙型肝炎病毒感染患者的肝纤维化情况:本研究是一项以医院为基础的多中心回顾性横断面研究。研究人员从尼日利亚的三家三级医疗机构中提取了 18 岁及以上被诊断为慢性乙型肝炎感染且未接受治疗的尼日利亚成年人的数据。社会人口学和相关临床数据来自患者的病例记录。通过计算纤维化-4 和天门冬氨酸氨基转移酶血小板比率指数得分,确定患者是否存在肝纤维化及其严重程度。获得的数据使用社会科学统计软件包(25.0 版)进行分析。P值小于0.05为具有统计学意义:本研究从尼日利亚 3 家三级医院共提取了 234 名患者的数据。其中男性 132 人(56.4%),女性 102 人(43.6%),男女比例为 1.29:1,平均年龄为 37.92 ± 12.34 岁。患者的纤维化-4评分显示,62.8%为 "正常/轻度纤维化",25.6%为 "中度纤维化",11.5%为 "重度纤维化/肝硬化"。患者的天冬氨酸氨基转移酶血小板比率指数得分显示,64.1%的患者 "无纤维化",20.9%的患者 "轻度纤维化",6.4%的患者 "中度纤维化",8.5%的患者 "重度纤维化/肝硬化"。患者的纤维化-4 评分中位数为 1.18(0.77-1.74),天门冬氨酸氨基转移酶血小板比率指数评分中位数为 0.40(0.26-0.69)。8.5%的患者通过肝脏超声波检查发现肝硬化。所有患者均未接受过乙型肝炎感染治疗:结论:尼日利亚慢性乙型肝炎病毒感染患者的肝纤维化发病率很高,其中很多患者尚未接受治疗。肝纤维化的无创评估应被视为慢性乙型肝炎感染患者检查的重要组成部分。

Objectives: In Pakistan, the degradation of drinking water quality is exacerbated by the increasing population size and rapid industrialization. Contaminated water serves as the predominant source of numerous diseases, including diarrhea, gastroenteritis, and typhoid. This article explores the evolution of waterborne diseases across 21 districts of the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province in Pakistan by monitoring changes in the clustering solutions.

Methods: The data employed in this study were sourced from 21 districts of KP by the Director-General Health Services. Cluster analysis was utilized to uncover patterns in waterborne disease incidence, while principal component analysis was employed to reveal underlying patterns and reduce dimensionality. Additionally, the MONItoring Clusters (MONIC) framework was applied for change detection, facilitating the identification of significant shifts in disease patterns over time and aiding in the understanding of temporal dynamics.

Results: Our analysis indicates that two clusters survived consistently over time, while other clusters exhibited inconsistency. Profiling of the surviving clusters (C12 → C24 → C32 → C43) suggests a gradual increase in cases of bloody diarrhea in the Swat Valley, Hangu, Karak, and Lakki Marwat regions. Similarly, profiling of the surviving clusters (⊙→ C22 → C34 → C44) suggests an increase in the acute watery diarrhea (non-cholera) and typhoid fever in the regions of Peshawar, Nowshera, and Swabi.

Background: Hepatitis B and C viruses are major global health problems with a high mortality rate, mostly due to serious liver diseases such as liver cirrhosis, liver failure, and hepatocellular carcinoma. The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence of the hepatitis B and C viruses and associated risk factors among clinically suspected patients attending Poly and Maraki Health Centers in Gondar City.

Methods: An institution-based cross-sectional study was conducted to recruit 422 clinically suspected patients attending Poly and Maraki Health Centers between June and August 2020. The blood sample was tested for hepatitis B surface antigen and anti-Hepatitis C virus antibodies using commercially available rapid test kits. We used logistic regression and chi-square analysis to assess factors associated with Hepatitis B virus and Hepatitis C virus infections.

Results: The overall prevalence of hepatitis B surface antigen and anti-Hepatitis C virus antibodies was 29 (6.9%) and 5 (1.2%), respectively. The prevalence of Hepatitis B virus and Hepatitis C virus was found to be significantly higher at Maraki Health Center. Multiple sexual partners (adjusted odd ratio (AOR = 12.299; 95% CI = 2.515-60.142), history of delivery by traditional birth attendants (AOR = 6.284; 95% CI = 2.373-16.637), surgical history (AOR = 3.679; 95% CI = 1.009-13.417), previous hepatitis infections (AOR = 10.374; 95% CI = 1.128-95.444), and upper abdominal pain (AOR = 3.382; 95% CI = 1.215-9.414) were significantly associated with an increased risk of Hepatitis B virus infections. On the other hand, a history of blood transfusion (AOR = 43.132; 95% CI = 1.385-1343.176) and a history of kidney dialysis (AOR = 71.199; 95% CI = 2.074-2444.646) were significantly associated with Hepatitis C virus infection.

Conclusions: According to the WHO endemicity classification, the prevalence of the hepatitis B virus was intermediate, while that of the hepatitis C virus was low. Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen the efforts to control and prevent Hepatitis B virus and Hepatitis C virus infections.

背景:乙型肝炎和丙型肝炎病毒是全球主要的健康问题,死亡率很高,主要是由于肝硬化、肝功能衰竭和肝细胞癌等严重肝病引起的。本研究旨在确定在贡德尔市 Poly 和 Maraki 健康中心就诊的临床疑似患者中乙型肝炎和丙型肝炎病毒的流行情况及相关风险因素:在 2020 年 6 月至 8 月期间,对前往 Poly 和 Maraki 卫生中心就诊的 422 名临床疑似患者进行了一项基于机构的横断面研究。使用市售快速检测试剂盒对血样进行乙型肝炎表面抗原和抗丙型肝炎病毒抗体检测。我们使用逻辑回归和卡方分析来评估与乙型肝炎病毒和丙型肝炎病毒感染相关的因素:结果:乙型肝炎表面抗原和抗丙型肝炎病毒抗体的总体流行率分别为 29(6.9%)和 5(1.2%)。在马拉基医疗中心,乙型肝炎病毒和丙型肝炎病毒的感染率明显较高。多个性伴侣(调整后的奇异比(AOR = 12.299;95% CI = 2.515-60.142)、传统助产士接生史(AOR = 6.284;95% CI = 2.373-16.637)、手术史(AOR = 3.679;95% CI = 1.009-13.417)、既往肝炎感染(AOR = 10.374;95% CI = 1.128-95.444)和上腹部疼痛(AOR = 3.382;95% CI = 1.215-9.414)与乙型肝炎病毒感染风险增加显著相关。另一方面,输血史(AOR = 43.132;95% CI = 1.385-1343.176)和肾透析史(AOR = 71.199;95% CI = 2.074-2444.646)与丙型肝炎病毒感染显著相关:结论:根据世界卫生组织流行病学分类,乙型肝炎病毒感染率处于中等水平,而丙型肝炎病毒感染率较低。因此,有必要加强对乙型肝炎病毒和丙型肝炎病毒感染的控制和预防。

Objectives: This study aims to assess access to essential medicines used in the management of noncommunicable diseases through analysis of the availability, prices, and affordability of these essential medicines in Arba Minch town, Gamo Zone, Southern Ethiopia.

Methods: A cross-sectional design was carried out using the World Health Organization/health action international methodology between 2 March and 2 May 2023, within public and private healthcare facilities located in Arba Minch town, Southern Ethiopia. The median price ratio served as a metric. Statistical tests like the Shapiro-Wilk and Kolmogorov-Smirnov were utilized to assess the normal distribution of price data. The Wilcoxon-Mann-Whitney U test was also employed to compare median buyer's prices (patient prices) between public and private healthcare institutions. Treatment affordability was determined by estimating the number of days' wages required by the lowest-paid government employee in Ethiopia to afford the prescribed medication regimen.

Results: Among 23 health facilities surveyed, the pooled availability of essential medicine used in the management of noncommunicable diseases was 18.7% (range: 0%-30.1%), with the public and private facilities contributing 16.3% and 38.3%, respectively. The overall percentage of availability originator brand versions was 1.1% for overall health sectors, 0.6% for public sectors, and 1.2% for private sectors. The overall percent availability of lowest price generics was 36.2% (range: 0%-26.2%; public: 32.0%; private: 37.1%). Only seven lowest price generics satisfied the World Health Organization target of 80% and above. The overall median price of lowest price generic medicines in private was two times higher than in public sectors. The top five median price scorers were amlodipine, furosemide, insulin, beclomethasone, and salbutamol. The Mann-Whitney U test showed that 11.6% of lowest price generics medicines had a statistically significant median price disparity between the public and private sectors (p < 0.05). The overall percent of unaffordability was found to be 100.0%, (public: 70.4; private: 100.0%).

Conclusions: This study revealed the limited availability and potential financial burdens on patients seeking essential noncommunicable disease medications. Limited availability suggests the need for better supply chain management and consistent stock availability. The price disparities and affordability challenges identified underscore the necessity for policy interventions such as price regulation and subsidized programs to ensure equitable access to essential noncommunicable disease medications in Arba Minch town, Southern Ethiopia.

研究目的本研究旨在通过分析埃塞俄比亚南部加莫区阿尔巴明奇镇用于治疗非传染性疾病的基本药物的可用性、价格和可负担性,评估这些药物的可及性:方法:采用世界卫生组织/国际健康行动组织的方法,于 2023 年 3 月 2 日至 5 月 2 日在埃塞俄比亚南部阿尔巴明奇镇的公立和私立医疗机构进行了横断面设计。中位数价格比作为衡量标准。采用 Shapiro-Wilk 和 Kolmogorov-Smirnov 等统计检验来评估价格数据的正态分布。此外,还采用了 Wilcoxon-Mann-Whitney U 检验来比较公立和私立医疗机构之间的买方价格(患者价格)中位数。通过估算埃塞俄比亚收入最低的政府雇员为负担处方药物治疗所需的工资天数来确定治疗的可负担性:在接受调查的 23 家医疗机构中,用于治疗非传染性疾病的基本药物的总体供应率为 18.7%(范围:0%-30.1%),其中公立和私立医疗机构分别占 16.3% 和 38.3%。总体卫生部门的原研品牌药物供应率为 1.1%,公共部门为 0.6%,私营部门为 1.2%。最低价非专利药的总体供应率为 36.2%(范围:0%-26.2%;公共部门:32.0%;私营部 门:37.1%)。只有 7 种最低价非专利药达到了世界卫生组织 80%及以上的目标。私立医院最低价仿制药的总体中位价是公立医院的两倍。价格中位数排名前五位的药品是氨氯地平、呋塞米、胰岛素、倍氯米松和沙丁胺醇。Mann-Whitney U 检验表明,11.6%的最低价非专利药品在公私部门的中位数价格差距具有显著的统计学意义(p 结论:公私部门的中位数价格差距在统计学上是显著的:这项研究揭示了非传染性疾病基本药物的有限供应和对患者造成的潜在经济负担。供应有限表明,需要改善供应链管理和稳定的库存供应。所发现的价格差异和可负担性挑战突出表明,有必要采取价格监管和补贴计划等政策干预措施,以确保埃塞俄比亚南部阿尔巴明奇镇公平获得基本非传染性疾病药物。

Background: Venous thromboembolism is the third most common cause of cardiovascular death and is responsible for more than 3 million deaths annually worldwide. Despite high rates of morbidity and mortality associated with venous thromboembolism, limited studies have been conducted on in-hospital mortality and its associated factors in Ethiopia, particularly in study settings.

Objective: To assess in-hospital mortality and associated factors among patients admitted with venous thromboembolism at selected public hospitals of Harar town, Eastern Ethiopia, from 10 March 2018 to 8 March 2022.

Methods: A retrospective cohort study design was conducted among 502 patients admitted with venous thromboembolism at Hiwot Fana Comprehensive Specialized Hospital and Jugal General Hospital using a simple random sampling technique. Data extraction formats were used to collect data from patient medical record cards. Then data were coded and entered into EpiData version 3.1 computer programs and exported to SPSS version 26 for analysis. Bivariate and multivariate backward Cox regression analysis was used to verify the associated factors of in-hospital mortality among venous thromboembolism patients. A p-value of less than 0.05 at a 95% confidence interval was used to establish a statistically significant association.

Results: A total of 502 patient medical record cards with outcome variables were included in the study. More than half of the patients 350 (69.7%) were females. Among the 502 patients who were admitted with venous thromboembolism, 8.2% (95% CI: 5.6-10.6) of patients had in-hospital mortality. DM (AHR = 4.28, 95% CI: 1.80-10.15, p = 0.001) and unfractionated heparin duration (AHR = 10.26, 95% CI: 2.45-43.01, p = 0.001) were statistically significant association with venous thromboembolism mortality.

Conclusion: Approximately 8.2% of venous thromboembolism patients died in the hospital. Diabetes and heparin were independently associated with higher mortality. Therefore, it is better to give more attention to the patients co-morbid with diabetes mellitus and for unfractionated heparin treatment duration to reduce venous thromboembolism mortality.

背景:静脉血栓栓塞症是心血管疾病的第三大常见死因,每年造成全球 300 多万人死亡。尽管静脉血栓栓塞症的发病率和死亡率都很高,但在埃塞俄比亚,尤其是在研究环境中,关于院内死亡率及其相关因素的研究却很有限:评估2018年3月10日至2022年3月8日期间埃塞俄比亚东部哈拉尔镇部分公立医院收治的静脉血栓栓塞症患者的院内死亡率及相关因素:采用简单随机抽样技术,对Hiwot Fana综合专科医院和Jugal综合医院收治的502名静脉血栓栓塞症患者进行了回顾性队列研究。采用数据提取格式从患者病历卡中收集数据。然后将数据编码并输入 EpiData 3.1 版计算机程序,并导出到 SPSS 26 版进行分析。采用双变量和多变量逆向考克斯回归分析来验证静脉血栓栓塞症患者院内死亡率的相关因素。在95%的置信区间内,P值小于0.05即为具有统计学意义的关联:研究共纳入了 502 份包含结果变量的患者病历卡。350名患者中有一半以上(69.7%)为女性。在 502 名因静脉血栓栓塞入院的患者中,8.2%(95% CI:5.6-10.6)的患者有院内死亡。糖尿病(AHR = 4.28,95% CI:1.80-10.15,p = 0.001)和非丝裂霉素持续时间(AHR = 10.26,95% CI:2.45-43.01,p = 0.001)与静脉血栓栓塞死亡率有显著统计学关联:结论:约8.2%的静脉血栓栓塞症患者死于医院。糖尿病和肝素与较高的死亡率密切相关。因此,为了降低静脉血栓栓塞症的死亡率,最好对合并糖尿病的患者给予更多关注,并缩短非小量肝素的治疗时间。

Introduction: The National AIDS Program in Jordan has faced numerous challenges, including insufficient funding, limited resources, and complexities brought on by refugee influxes. The absence of a reliable HIV/AIDS surveillance system further complicates tracking and responding to the epidemic. This study aimed to evaluate the performance and functionality of the National AIDS Program and the HIV/AIDS surveillance system.

Methods: A qualitative study was conducted to evaluate the National AIDS Program and the HIV/AIDS Surveillance System in Jordan. The study involved 14 key informants specialized in HIV/AIDS Surveillance Systems. Interviews were guided by an interview guide based on the Updated Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Guidelines for Evaluating Public Health Surveillance Systems. Data analysis was performed through directed content analysis.

Results: The Voluntary Counseling and Testing Center in Jordan confronts multiple challenges, including poor infrastructure, limited accessibility, and inadequate facilities. Additionally, there is a lack of effective coordination between the Voluntary Counseling and Testing center and the Chest Diseases and Migrant Health Directorate, particularly regarding testing for Tuberculosis. HIV screening in Jordan is hindered by various factors, including disease sensitivity. Voluntary Counseling and Testing lacks HIV/AIDS specialists AND staff adequate training and fails to adhere to updated treatment guidelines. Persistent deficiencies in human resources, equipment, and training continue to plague the HIV/AIDS Surveillance System. Key informants expressed dissatisfaction with the data's usefulness, citing concerns over poor data quality. The data were seldom used for prioritizing resources, identifying at-risk individuals, assessing HIV/AIDS risk factors, or evaluating prevention and control measures.

Conclusion: The National AIDS Program and HIV/AIDS Surveillance System activities in Jordan are unstructured, poorly coordinated, and inefficient. Many gaps related to National AIDS Program and HIV/AIDS Surveillance System performance and data were identified. Recommendations include developing an electronic surveillance system for data collection, notification, and reporting, and building the capacities of HIV/AIDS healthcare providers in screening, diagnosis, and management.

导言:约旦国家艾滋病计划面临着诸多挑战,包括资金不足、资源有限以及难民涌入带来的复杂问题。由于缺乏可靠的艾滋病毒/艾滋病监测系统,跟踪和应对这一流行病的工作变得更加复杂。本研究旨在评估国家艾滋病计划和艾滋病毒/艾滋病监测系统的绩效和功能:我们开展了一项定性研究,以评估约旦的国家艾滋病计划和艾滋病毒/艾滋病监测系统。这项研究涉及 14 名专门从事艾滋病毒/艾滋病监测系统的关键信息提供者。访谈是在访谈指南的指导下进行的,该指南是根据最新的美国疾病控制和预防中心《公共卫生监测系统评估指南》制定的。数据分析通过定向内容分析进行:约旦的自愿咨询与检测中心面临着多重挑战,包括基础设施薄弱、交通不便、设施不足等。此外,自愿咨询和检测中心与胸病和移民卫生局之间缺乏有效协调,尤其是在结核病检测方面。约旦的艾滋病毒筛查受到各种因素的阻碍,包括疾病敏感性。自愿咨询和检测中心缺乏艾滋病毒/艾滋病专家和接受过适当培训的工作人员,未能遵守最新的治疗准则。人力资源、设备和培训方面的持续不足继续困扰着艾滋病毒/艾滋病监测系统。主要信息提供者对数据的实用性表示不满,担心数据质量差。这些数据很少被用于确定资源的优先次序、识别高危人群、评估艾滋病毒/艾滋病风险因素或评估预防和控制措施:约旦的国家艾滋病计划和艾滋病毒/艾滋病监测系统活动缺乏条理、协调性差、效率低。在国家艾滋病计划和艾滋病毒/艾滋病监测系统的绩效和数据方面发现了许多不足之处。建议包括开发一个用于数据收集、通知和报告的电子监测系统,以及提高艾滋病毒/艾滋病医疗服务提供者在筛查、诊断和管理方面的能力。

Objective: The COVID-19 pandemic has brought severe health consequences among older adults and posed ethical challenges. The aim of this study was to explore the impacts of COVID-19 on the health and medical care of older adults in Ethiopia and associated ethical implications, regardless of older adults' COVID-19 infection status.

Methods: In this qualitative study, we followed an inductive exploratory approach based on reflexive thematic analysis. We conducted semistructured interviews between March 2021 and November 2021 with 20 older adults and 26 health professionals who were selected from healthcare facilities and communities in Ethiopia using purposive and snowball sampling techniques. We audio-recorded, transcribed, translated, and inductively analyzed the interviews using thematic analysis.

Results: Participants reported that the pandemic compromised the accessibility and quality of both COVID and non-COVID healthcare services for older adults, which negatively impacted older adults' health conditions and medical care. Moreover, participants elaborated on the health conditions and care of older patients with COVID-19 and highlighted that older COVID-19 patients often have severe health conditions, do not get adequate COVID-19 care, and may receive lower priority for admission to intensive care units compared to younger patients when resources are limited.

Conclusions: Results of this study showed that practices of COVID-19 care and measures may have led to adverse consequences such as limited availability and access to aged care in Ethiopia, which could have further health consequences on older patients. Our results contribute to a better understanding of ethical issues such as distributive justice and prioritization arising in the healthcare of older patients in times of global pandemic. It is imperative for local and international health policymakers and ethicists to further analyze and address the challenges that compromise the accessibility and continuity of quality care for older persons during a public healthcare crisis.

目的:COVID-19 大流行给老年人带来了严重的健康后果,也带来了伦理挑战。本研究旨在探讨 COVID-19 对埃塞俄比亚老年人健康和医疗保健的影响以及相关的伦理意义,无论老年人是否感染 COVID-19:在这项定性研究中,我们采用了基于反思性主题分析的归纳探索法。2021 年 3 月至 2021 年 11 月期间,我们采用目的性抽样和滚雪球抽样技术,从埃塞俄比亚的医疗机构和社区中挑选了 20 名老年人和 26 名医疗专业人员,对他们进行了半结构化访谈。我们对访谈进行了录音、转录、翻译,并采用主题分析法对访谈进行了归纳分析:结果:受访者表示,大流行影响了老年人获得 COVID 和非 COVID 医疗保健服务的机会和质量,对老年人的健康状况和医疗保健产生了负面影响。此外,参与者还详细阐述了患有 COVID-19 的老年患者的健康状况和护理情况,并强调 COVID-19 老年患者通常健康状况严重,无法获得充分的 COVID-19 护理,在资源有限的情况下,与年轻患者相比,他们在入住重症监护室时可能会获得较低的优先级:这项研究的结果表明,COVID-19 护理和措施的实践可能会导致不良后果,如埃塞俄比亚老年护理的可用性和可及性有限,这可能会对老年患者的健康造成进一步的影响。我们的研究结果有助于更好地理解伦理问题,如在全球大流行病时期老年患者医疗保健中出现的分配公正和优先次序问题。当地和国际卫生政策制定者和伦理学家必须进一步分析和解决在公共医疗危机期间影响老年人获得优质医疗服务的机会和连续性的挑战。
