Objective: This study evaluates a reengineered intervention aimed at improving the clinical management of intravenous indwelling needles in geriatric patients, focusing on cost-efficiency within the Diagnosis-Related Group (DRG) payment framework. Methods: The intervention was assessed through a comparative study involving 387 elderly patients in the Geriatric Department of Xuanwu Hospital, between June 2021 and March 2022. The study contrasted outcomes between patients treated before and after implementing a new team-based management protocol in November 2021. Results: Findings indicate enhanced first-attempt venipuncture success, reduced consumable costs, and decreased complication rates in the post-intervention group (P < 0.001), compared to controls. Conclusion: The intervention demonstrates significant benefits in venipuncture efficiency, cost reduction, and patient safety, suggesting its potential for broader adoption in geriatric care.

Aim: As individuals age, they are expected to experience a natural progression that usually involves a slight and permanent decrease in bodily functions and physical abilities. Despite this, many older people remain active in the workforce. Purpose: This study seeks to explore the correlation between the health conditions, disabilities, social factors, and demographic circumstances of elderly individuals engaged in both formal and informal employment sectors. Methods: This study utilizes an observational analytical method with a cross-sectional structure. The participants in the research involved all individuals aged 60 years and above who met the outlined criteria, totaling 15,034,946 respondents. The data analysis was conducted using multivariate logistic regression in Model II. Results: Overall, most older adults are working in informal jobs. Moreover, most respondents are 60–69 years old, married, have a primary school certificate, own health insurance and a house, and live with family. In addition, the multivariate analysis shows the relationship between each variable and the informal sector working elderly. It is known that older women have a 1.45 times higher limited educational background, not having savings is 1.21 times, rural areas living 1.93 times, not being the head of the family is linked 1.34 times, poor health conditions are 1.01 times, and having a disability has a 1.20 times higher likelihood of informal-sector employment. Conclusion: Several variables are assigned as the determinants that increase the number of elderly working in informal sectors, including gender, education level, savings ownership, living areas, head of the family role, health status, and disability.
目的:随着年龄的增长,人们预计身体机能和体能会出现轻微和永久性的衰退。尽管如此,许多老年人仍然活跃在工作岗位上。目的:本研究旨在探讨在正规和非正规就业部门工作的老年人的健康状况、残疾、社会因素和人口状况之间的相关性。研究方法本研究采用横截面结构的观察分析方法。研究对象包括所有符合概述标准的 60 岁及以上老年人,共计 15 034 946 名受访者。数据分析采用多元逻辑回归模型 II。研究结果总体而言,大多数老年人从事非正式工作。此外,大多数受访者年龄在 60-69 岁之间,已婚,有小学毕业证书,拥有医疗保险和住房,与家人同住。此外,多变量分析表明了每个变量与在非正规部门工作的老年人之间的关系。据此可知,老年妇女受教育背景有限的可能性高出 1.45 倍,没有储蓄的可能性高出 1.21 倍,居住在农村地区的可能性高出 1.93 倍,不是一家之主的可能性高出 1.34 倍,健康状况差的可能性高出 1.01 倍,残疾的可能性高出 1.20 倍。结论有几个变量被认为是增加在非正规部门工作的老年人数量的决定因素,包括性别、教育水平、拥有储蓄、居住地区、户主角色、健康状况和残疾。

Purpose: There is an overall paucity of data examining the specific details of orthodontic patients’ patterns or orthodontic service disruptions possibly influenced by COVID-19 pandemic. Therefore, this study aimed to explore the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on orthodontic clinic disruption regarding the change in adult patients’ characteristics and decisions of orthodontic treatment devices. Patients and Methods: A retrospective sample of 311 patients receiving orthodontic treatment from 2018 to 2022 were collected and divided into two groups: before (n = 167) and during (n = 144) the COVID-19 pandemic. Demographics, dental indices, the index of complexity outcome and need (ICON), and the degree of treatment difficulty were analyzed. Results: There were fewer students among patients during the COVID-19 pandemic than before (24.5% versus 35.9%, P = 0.036). Compared with patients before the pandemic, more patients selected ceramic brackets or Invisalign during the pandemic (P = 0.022). There were higher percentage of class I dental malocclusions among patients during than before the COVID-19 pandemic (P = 0.044). Moreover, the ICON score and the score of the degree of treatment difficulty were both significantly lower for patients during than before the COVID-19 pandemic (63.9±14.0 versus 58.3±15.3, P=0.001 and 7.4±2.6 versus 6.8±2.6, P=0.049, respectively). Conclusion: The COVID-19 pandemic influenced the characteristics and decisions of orthodontic patients. Those who still came to the orthodontic clinic despite the COVID-19 outbreak may have been those with less malocclusion severity and treatment difficulty. Besides, during the time of covid-19 pandemic, more patients chose ceramic bracket and Invisalign as their orthodontic treatment device rather than conventional or self-ligating metal brackets.
目的:研究正畸患者模式的具体细节或正畸服务中断可能受 COVID-19 大流行影响的数据总体上很少。因此,本研究旨在探讨 COVID-19 大流行对正畸门诊中断的影响,包括成年患者特征的变化和对正畸治疗设备的决定。患者和方法:收集了2018年至2022年接受正畸治疗的311名患者的回顾性样本,并将其分为两组:COVID-19大流行前(n = 167)和COVID-19大流行期间(n = 144)。对人口统计学、牙齿指数、复杂性结果和需求指数(ICON)以及治疗难度进行了分析。结果显示在 COVID-19 大流行期间,患者中的学生人数少于大流行前(24.5% 对 35.9%,P = 0.036)。与大流行前相比,大流行期间有更多患者选择陶瓷托槽或隐形矫正(P = 0.022)。与 COVID-19 大流行前相比,大流行期间患者中 I 级牙齿畸形的比例更高(P = 0.044)。此外,与 COVID-19 大流行之前相比,大流行期间患者的 ICON 评分和治疗难度评分均显著降低(分别为 63.9±14.0 对 58.3±15.3,P=0.001;7.4±2.6 对 6.8±2.6,P=0.049)。结论COVID-19大流行影响了正畸患者的特征和决定。那些在 COVID-19 爆发后仍来正畸诊所就诊的患者可能是那些错颌畸形严重程度和治疗难度较低的患者。此外,在COVID-19大流行期间,更多患者选择陶瓷托槽和隐适美作为正畸治疗装置,而不是传统或自锁式金属托槽。

Objective: To investigate the utility of alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) and ultrasound in the diagnosis and prognosis of patients with hepatocellular liver cancer (HCC). Methods: Using retrospective convenience sampling, 401 patients with HCC who underwent transarterial chemoembolisation at the Department of Oncology of The Affiliated Huaian No.1 People’s Hospital of Nanjing Medical University between June 2015 and January 2020 were recruited and assigned to the case group. Simultaneously, patients matched to the case group in terms of gender and age but excluded for HCC were enrolled at a 1:1 ratio and classified as the control group. Relevant parameters were collected from both groups for comparison. Results: Both AFP levels and ultrasound results demonstrated diagnostic value for patients with HCC ( P < 0.05). Their combined use exhibited the highest diagnostic accuracy for the cancer, with an area under the curve of 0.896 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.876, 0.923), a sensitivity of 67.65% and a specificity of 91.22%. In terms of overall survival (OS), statistically significant differences in the OS rates were observed between the low-AFP (L-AFP) group and high-AFP (H-AFP) group as well as between the low-tumour-diameter (LTD) group and high-tumour-diameter (HTD) group (81.31% vs 52.22% and 85.11% vs 63.41%, respectively; P < 0.05). Regarding the progression-free survival (PFS), significant differences in the PFS rates were also noted between the L-AFP and H-AFP groups and between the LTD and HTD groups (81.31% vs 52.22% and 85.11% vs 63.41%, respectively; P < 0.05). Conclusion: Ultrasound and AFP display notable distinctions when used in the diagnosis of HCC. The sensitivity of ultrasound as a standalone diagnostic tool surpasses that of AFP alone. However, their combined use results in much higher specificity than the use of either test individually. In addition, both techniques hold predictive value for patients’ OS and PFS, enabling timely prognostic assessment.
目的研究甲胎蛋白(AFP)和超声波在肝细胞性肝癌(HCC)患者的诊断和预后中的作用。方法:采用回顾性方便抽样法:采用回顾性便利抽样法,招募2015年6月至2020年1月期间在南京医科大学附属淮安市第一人民医院肿瘤科接受经动脉化疗栓塞术的401例HCC患者,并将其分配至病例组。同时,按1:1的比例招募与病例组性别和年龄相匹配但排除了HCC的患者作为对照组。收集两组患者的相关参数进行比较。结果:甲胎蛋白水平和超声结果对 HCC 患者均有诊断价值(P < 0.05)。两者结合使用对癌症的诊断准确率最高,曲线下面积为 0.896(95% 置信区间 [CI]:0.876, 0.923),敏感性为 67.65%,特异性为 91.22%。在总生存期(OS)方面,低AFP(L-AFP)组与高AFP(H-AFP)组之间以及低肿瘤直径(LTD)组与高肿瘤直径(HTD)组之间的OS率差异有统计学意义(分别为81.31% vs 52.22%和85.11% vs 63.41%;P < 0.05)。在无进展生存期(PFS)方面,L-AFP组和H-AFP组之间以及LTD组和HTD组之间的PFS率也存在显著差异(分别为81.31% vs 52.22%和85.11% vs 63.41%;P < 0.05)。结论超声和 AFP 在诊断 HCC 时有明显的区别。超声作为独立诊断工具的灵敏度超过了单独使用 AFP 的灵敏度。不过,两者联合使用的特异性要比单独使用其中一种检测方法高得多。此外,这两项技术对患者的手术期和生存期都有预测价值,可以及时进行预后评估。

In terms of overall survival (OS), statistically significant differences in the OS rates were observed between the low-AFP (L-AFP) group and high-AFP (H-AFP) group as well as between the low-tumour-diameter (LTD) group and high-tumour-diameter (HTD) group (81.31% vs 52.22% and 85.11% vs 63.41%, respectively; P < 0.05). Regarding the progression-free survival (PFS), significant differences in the PFS rates were also noted between the L-AFP and H-AFP groups and between the LTD and HTD groups (81.31% vs 52.22% and 85.11% vs 63.41%, respectively; P < 0.05). Conclusion: Ultrasound and AFP display notable distinctions when used in the diagnosis of HCC. The sensitivity of ultrasound as a standalone diagnostic tool surpasses that of AFP alone. However, their combined use results in much higher specificity than the use of either test individually. In addition, both techniques hold predictive value for patients’ OS and PFS, enabling timely prognostic assessment.","PeriodicalId":505971,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Multidisciplinary Healthcare","volume":"43 15","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140796571","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
