Introduction: The contribution of individual and combined inflammatory markers for the prognosis of acute ischemic stroke (AIS) remains elusive. This study investigated the effect of systemic inflammatory response index (SIRI), and neutrophil to high-density lipoprotein ratio (NHR), which is mediated by fasting blood glucose (FBG), on 90-day prognosis of patients with AIS.

Methods: In this pre-specified substudy of an observational cohort study, 2,828 patients with AIS were enrolled from the Nanjing Stroke Registry between January 2017 and July 2021. Peripheral venous blood was collected from patients fasting for at least 8 h within 24 h of admission to gather information on the following parameters: neutrophil count, lymphocyte count, monocyte count, HDL level, and fasting blood glucose level. Then, the SIRI and NHR values were calculated. Following this, the correlation among SIRI, NHR, and modified Rankin Scale (mRS) scores 90 days after onset was examined via univariate and multivariate logistic analyses. Lastly, mediation analysis was performed to examine the relationship between systematic inflammatory response and study outcomes mediated by FBG.

Results: SIRI and NHR were both negatively correlated with clinical outcomes (p < 0.05). Logistic regression analysis revealed that SIRI and NHR were independently associated with poor outcomes after adjusting for potential confounders. Subgroup analyses further validated these correlations. Meanwhile, mediation analysis corroborated that FBG partially mediated the associations between SIRI and a poor prognosis at 90 days (indirect effect estimate = 0.0038, bootstrap 95% CI 0.001-0.008; direct effect estimate = 0.1719, bootstrap 95% CI 0.1258-0.2179). Besides, FBG also played a mediating role between NHR and poor outcomes (indirect effect estimate = 0.0066, bootstrap 95% CI 0.002-0.120; direct effect estimate = 0.1308, bootstrap 95% CI 0.0934-0.1681).

Conclusion: Our study demonstrated that SIRI and NHR are positively associated with poor clinical and mortality outcomes at 90 days in AIS patients, which was partially mediated by FBG.

背景和目的:单个和合并的炎症标志物对急性缺血性卒中(AIS)预后的影响仍不明确。本研究探讨了全身炎症反应指数(SIRI)和中性粒细胞与高密度脂蛋白比值(NHR)(由空腹血糖(FBG)介导)对 AIS 患者 90 天预后的影响:在这项观察性队列研究的预设子研究中,2017年1月至2021年7月期间,南京卒中登记中心共登记了2828例AIS患者。患者入院24小时内空腹至少8小时,采集外周静脉血,收集以下参数信息:中性粒细胞计数、淋巴细胞计数、单核细胞计数、高密度脂蛋白水平和空腹血糖水平。然后,计算 SIRI 和 NHR 值。然后,通过单变量和多变量逻辑分析,研究发病 90 天后 SIRI、NHR 和改良 Rankin 量表(mRS)评分之间的相关性。最后,还进行了中介分析,研究系统性炎症反应与研究结果之间由 FBG 中介的关系:结果:SIRI 和 NHR 均与临床结果呈负相关(p < 0.05)。逻辑回归分析显示,在调整了潜在的混杂因素后,SIRI 和 NHR 与不良预后独立相关。亚组分析进一步验证了这些相关性。同时,中介分析证实,FBG 部分中介了 SIRI 与 90d 时不良预后之间的关系(间接效应估计值 = 0.0038,bootstrap 95% CI 0.001 至 0.008;直接效应估计值 = 0.1719,bootstrap 95% CI 0.1258 至 0.2179)。此外,FBG在NHR和不良预后之间也起着中介作用(间接效应估计值=0.0066,bootstrap 95% CI 0.002至0.120;直接效应估计值=0.1308,bootstrap 95% CI 0.0934至0.1681):我们的研究表明,SIRI和NHR与AIS患者90天后的不良临床结局和死亡率呈正相关,而FBG在一定程度上起到了中介作用。

Introduction: Dysphagia (i.e., disordered swallowing) is a consequence of stroke. Existing literature on the marginal cost of dysphagia after stroke is limited and ignores long-term impacts. Our aim was to determine the marginal 12-month cost attributable to dysphagia, including health-related quality of life (HRQoL) impacts, among patients hospitalised with stroke in New Zealand.

Methods: Secondary analysis of observational data from the REGIONS Care study, a national study from New Zealand of consecutively hospitalised patients with acute stroke between May 1, 2018, and October 30, 2018, including an outcome survey at 12 months among those who provided consent. Patients were identified as dysphagic if they received a swallow screen in hospital resulting in a speech language therapist review. Patients that required a nasogastric feeding tube in hospital were classified as "severe." Optimal linear propensity score matching was utilised to provide a group of patients to compare with stroke and dysphagia. All costs were converted to 2021NZD.

Results: Overall, of the 2,379 patients in the REGIONS cohort (51% male, median age: 78), 40% (944/2,379) were dysphagic (52% male, median age: 78), and 5% (111/2,379) were classified as severely dysphagic. Within 12 months of hospital discharge, dysphagia reduced HRQoL overall by 0.06 index points (95% CI: 0.028-0.100), and severe dysphagia by 0.12 index points (95% CI: 0.03-0.20). The estimated marginal 12-month cost attributable to stroke-related dysphagia was NZD 24,200 on average per patient. This estimate includes the additional hospitalisation costs (NZD 16,100), community rehabilitation services (NZD 570), hospital level aged residential care (NZD 4,030), and reduced HRQoL (NZD 3,470) over a 12-month period post-hospital discharge. The overall total marginal cost for those with severe dysphagia was NZD 34,000 per patient.

Conclusion: We report cost estimates to 12 months from a national perspective on the additional costs and HRQoL outcomes of dysphagia for people hospitalised with stroke in New Zealand. Findings provide a novel contribution internationally since few prior studies have extended beyond the acute hospital phase of care. By quantifying the economic burden, we provide information to decision makers to improve dysphagia management strategies and ultimately enhance the overall HRQoL for people with stroke and dysphagia.

导言:吞咽困难(即吞咽障碍)是中风的一种后果。有关中风后吞咽困难边际成本的现有文献十分有限,而且忽略了长期影响。我们的目的是确定新西兰中风住院患者因吞咽困难造成的 12 个月边际成本,包括对健康相关生活质量 (HRQoL) 的影响:对 REGIONS Care 研究的观察数据进行二次分析,该研究是新西兰的一项全国性研究,对象是 2018 年 5 月 1 日至 2018 年 10 月 30 日期间连续住院的急性中风患者,包括对同意者进行 12 个月的结果调查。如果患者在医院接受了吞咽筛查,并由言语语言治疗师进行复查,则被认定为吞咽困难。需要在医院使用鼻胃喂养管的患者被归类为 "严重 "患者。采用最优线性倾向评分匹配法,为中风和吞咽困难患者提供一个比较组别。所有费用均换算为2021新西兰元:总体而言,在 REGIONS 队列的 2379 名患者中(51% 为男性,年龄中位数为 78 岁),40%(944/2379)为吞咽困难(52% 为男性,年龄中位数为 78 岁),5%(111/2379)被归类为严重吞咽困难。在出院后的 12 个月内,吞咽困难会使总体 HRQoL 下降 0.06 个指数点(95%CI,0.028 至 0.100),严重吞咽困难会使 HRQoL 下降 0.12 个指数点(95%CI,0.03 至 0.20)。中风相关吞咽困难导致的 12 个月边际成本估计为平均每位患者 24,200 美元。该估计值包括出院后 12 个月内的额外住院费用(16,100 美元)、社区康复服务(570 美元)、医院级别的老年寄宿护理(4,030 美元)和 HRQoL 降低(3,470 美元)。每位严重吞咽困难患者的总边际成本为 34,000 美元:我们从全国的角度报告了新西兰中风住院患者因吞咽困难而产生的额外费用和 HRQoL 结果的 12 个月成本估算。由于之前的研究很少超出急性期住院治疗阶段,因此研究结果在国际上具有新颖性。通过量化经济负担,我们为决策者提供了改善吞咽困难管理策略的信息,并最终提高了中风和吞咽困难患者的整体 HRQoL。

Introduction: Preclinical evidence demonstrated the therapeutic potential of thiazolidinediones (TZDs) for the treatment of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). The present study conducted an investigation of cerebrovascular and cardiovascular outcomes following ICH in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) treated with or without TZDs.

Methods: This retrospective nested case-control study used data from the Taiwan National Health Insurance Research Database. A total of 62,515 T2DM patients who were hospitalized with a diagnosis of ICH were enrolled, including 7,603 TZD users. Data for TZD non-users were extracted using propensity score matching. Primary outcomes included death and major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs), which were defined as a composite of ischemic stroke, hemorrhagic stroke (HS), acute myocardial infarction, and congestive heart failure. Patients aged <20 years with a history of traumatic brain injury or any prior history of MACEs were excluded.

Results: TZD users had significantly lower MACE risks compared with TZD non-users following ICH (adjusted hazard ratio [aHR]: 0.90, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.85-0.94, p < 0.001). The most significant MACE difference reported for TZD users was HS, which possessed lower incidence than in TZD non-users, especially for the events that happened within 3 months following ICH (aHR: 0.74, 95% CI: 0.62-0.89 within 1 month, p < 0.01; aHR: 0.68, 95% CI: 0.54-0.85 between 1 and 3 month).

Conclusion: The use of TZD in patients with T2DM was associated with a lower risk of subsequent HS and mortality following ICH.

简介:临床前证据表明,TZDs具有治疗脑出血(ICH)的潜力。本研究调查了接受或不接受 TZDs 治疗的 2 型糖尿病(T2DM)患者 ICH 后的脑血管和心血管预后:这项回顾性巢式病例对照研究使用了台湾国民健康保险研究数据库的数据。这项回顾性巢式病例对照研究使用了台湾国民健康保险研究数据库中的数据,共纳入了 62515 名因诊断为 ICH 而住院的 T2DM 患者,其中包括 7603 名 TZD 使用者。未使用 TZD 患者的数据采用倾向得分匹配法提取。主要结局包括死亡和主要心血管不良事件(MACE),MACE定义为缺血性中风、出血性中风(HS)、急性心肌梗死(AMI)和充血性心力衰竭(CHF)的综合。年龄小于20岁、有脑外伤病史或既往有MACEs病史的患者被排除在外:结果:与不使用 TZD 的患者相比,使用 TZD 的患者在发生 ICH 后的 MACE 风险明显较低(调整后危险比 [aHR]:0.90,95% 置信区间):0.90,95%置信区间[CI]:0.85-0.94, p < 0.001).使用TZD的患者MACE差异最大的是HS,其发生率低于未使用TZD的患者,尤其是ICH后3个月内发生的事件(aHR:0.74,95% CI:1个月内0.62-0.89,p <0.01;aHR:0.68,95% CI:1-3个月0.54-0.85):结论:T2DM患者使用TZD可降低ICH后发生HS和死亡的风险。

OBJECTIVETo provide population-based estimates of prevalence and incidence of any dementia and Alzheimer's dementia in the Campania Region (South Italy), and to validate towards a clinical registry.METHODSPopulation-based study, using routinely collected healthcare data of individuals living in the Campania Region (South Italy) from 2015 to 2020. We included individuals aged ≥65 years alive at the prevalence day (1 January 2021) who had at least one administrative record for dementia and/or Alzheimer's dementia from 2015 to 2020. Age-and sex-standardised prevalence rates were calculated using direct standardisation method (European population in 2020 as reference population). To estimate incidence, we tested three possible algorithms, which differed for the duration of the time interval between study baseline (Jan 1, 2015) and index date (first record for dementia and/or Alzheimer's dementia in administrative databases). We employed a clinical database for the validation of our algorithms towards neuropsychological test results.RESULTSAmong individuals aged over 65, 80,392 had dementia, of which 35,748 had Alzheimer's dementia. The age- and sex-standardized prevalence rates per 1,000 individuals for any dementia and Alzheimer's dementia were 77.64 (95%CI = 77.57; 77.68) and 34.05 (95%CI = 34.01; 34.09), respectively. There were 82.10 incident of any dementia cases per 100,000 per year (0.79 sensitivity and 0.62 specificity), and 59.89 incident cases of any dementia per 100,000 per year (0.80 sensitivity and 0.59 specificity). The capture-recapture method showed very low number of undetected cases (1.7% for any dementia and 3.0% for Alzheimer's dementia). Our algorithms showed acceptable performance with AUC ranging from 0.59 to 0.72, and double likelihood ratio of correctly identifying individuals above and below MMSE standard cut-offs (24 and 26).CONCLUSIONSPrevalence and incidence of any dementia and Alzheimer's dementia in the Campania Region (South Italy) from 2015 to 2020 are in line with previous estimates from other countries. Our algorithm, integrating administrative and clinical data, holds potential for assessing dementia's epidemiological burden, identifying risk factors, planning healthcare access, and developing prevention strategies.
目的:对坎帕尼亚大区(南意大利)任何痴呆症和阿尔茨海默氏痴呆症的患病率和发病率进行基于人群的估计,并对临床登记进行验证。我们纳入了在流行日(2021 年 1 月 1 日)年龄≥65 岁且在 2015 年至 2020 年期间至少有一次痴呆和/或阿尔茨海默氏痴呆行政记录的在世者。采用直接标准化方法(以 2020 年欧洲人口为参考人口)计算年龄和性别标准化患病率。为了估算发病率,我们测试了三种可能的算法,这三种算法在研究基线(2015 年 1 月 1 日)和指数日期(行政数据库中的首个痴呆症和/或阿尔茨海默氏症记录)之间的时间间隔长短上有所不同。结果在 65 岁以上的人群中,80,392 人患有痴呆症,其中 35,748 人患有阿尔茨海默氏痴呆症。任何痴呆症和阿尔茨海默氏症的年龄和性别标准化患病率分别为 77.64 (95%CI = 77.57; 77.68) 和 34.05 (95%CI = 34.01; 34.09)。每年每 10 万人中有 82.10 例任何痴呆症病例(灵敏度为 0.79,特异度为 0.62),每年每 10 万人中有 59.89 例任何痴呆症病例(灵敏度为 0.80,特异度为 0.59)。捕获-再捕获法显示未检测到的病例数非常少(任何痴呆症为 1.7%,阿尔茨海默氏症为 3.0%)。我们的算法显示了可接受的性能,AUC 在 0.59 到 0.72 之间,正确识别高于和低于 MMSE 标准临界值(24 和 26)的个体的双重似然比。我们的算法整合了行政和临床数据,可用于评估痴呆症的流行病学负担、确定风险因素、规划医疗服务和制定预防策略。

The age- and sex-standardized prevalence rates per 1,000 individuals for any dementia and Alzheimer's dementia were 77.64 (95%CI = 77.57; 77.68) and 34.05 (95%CI = 34.01; 34.09), respectively. There were 82.10 incident of any dementia cases per 100,000 per year (0.79 sensitivity and 0.62 specificity), and 59.89 incident cases of any dementia per 100,000 per year (0.80 sensitivity and 0.59 specificity). The capture-recapture method showed very low number of undetected cases (1.7% for any dementia and 3.0% for Alzheimer's dementia). Our algorithms showed acceptable performance with AUC ranging from 0.59 to 0.72, and double likelihood ratio of correctly identifying individuals above and below MMSE standard cut-offs (24 and 26).\u0000\u0000\u0000CONCLUSIONS\u0000Prevalence and incidence of any dementia and Alzheimer's dementia in the Campania Region (South Italy) from 2015 to 2020 are in line with previous estimates from other countries. Our algorithm, integrating administrative and clinical data, holds potential for assessing dementia's epidemiological burden, identifying risk factors, planning healthcare access, and developing prevention strategies.","PeriodicalId":54730,"journal":{"name":"Neuroepidemiology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":5.7,"publicationDate":"2024-04-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140663941","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

INTRODUCTIONCerebral palsy (CP) is a nonprogressive movement disorder resulting from prenatal or perinatal brain injury that benefits from early diagnosis and intervention. The timing of early CP diagnosis remains controversial, necessitating analysis of clinical features in a substantial cohort.METHODSWe retrospectively reviewed medical records from a university hospital, focusing on children aged >24 months or followed up for ≥24 months, and adhered to the International classification of diseases-10 for diagnosis and Subtyping.RESULTSAmong the 2012 confirmed CP cases, 68.8% were male and 51.44% had spastic diplegia. Based on the Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS), 62.38% were levels I and II, and 19.88% were levels IV and V. Hemiplegic and diplegic subtypes predominantly fell into levels I and II, while quadriplegic and mixed types were mainly levels IV and V. White matter injuries appeared in 46.58% of cranial MRI findings, while maldevelopment was rare (7.05%). Intellectual disability co-occurred in 43.44% of the CP cases, with hemiplegia having the lowest (20.28%, 58/286) and mixed types (73.85%, 48/65). Additionally, 51.67% (697/1349) of the children with CP aged ≥48 months had comorbidities.CONCLUSIONSThis study underscores white matter injury as the primary CP pathology and identifies intellectual disability as a common comorbidity. Although CP can be identified in infants under one year old, precision in diagnosis improves with development. These insights inform early detection and tailored interventios, emphasizing their crucial role in CP management.
简介脑性瘫痪(CP)是一种由产前或围产期脑损伤引起的非进行性运动障碍,早期诊断和干预可使其获益。方法我们回顾性地查看了一家大学医院的病历,重点关注年龄大于 24 个月或随访时间≥24 个月的儿童,并遵循国际疾病分类-10 进行诊断和亚型划分。结果在 2012 年确诊的 CP 病例中,68.8% 为男性,51.44% 患有痉挛性偏瘫。根据粗大运动功能分级系统(GMFCS),62.38%的病例属于I级和II级,19.88%的病例属于IV级和V级,偏瘫和双瘫亚型主要属于I级和II级,而四肢瘫痪和混合型主要属于IV级和V级。43.44% 的 CP 病例合并有智力障碍,其中偏瘫病例最少(20.28%,58/286),混合型病例最多(73.85%,48/65)。此外,在年龄≥48 个月的 CP 患儿中,51.67%(697/1349)患有合并症。虽然一岁以下的婴儿也能被识别为 CP,但诊断的精确度会随着发育而提高。这些见解为早期检测和有针对性的干预提供了依据,强调了它们在 CP 管理中的关键作用。

BACKGROUNDLimb-shaking transient ischemic attack (LSTIA) is a rare neurological condition which presents with involuntary jerky movements of the arm or leg, often because of carotid stenosis or occlusion. Due to the rarity of the condition, the epidemiology of LSTIA is poorly understood and the disease is frequently misdiagnosed. There is no standard treatment to date. The purpose of this study is to provide an overview of the epidemiology of LSTIA and its current treatment options.METHODSEmbase, MEDLINE, Web of Science, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials for randomized controlled trials and Google Scholar were searched from database inception to 30th of December 2023 for articles containing information on the epidemiology and treatment of LSTIA. An individual patient data meta-analysis (IPD-MA) was performed using data extracted from the included articles. Inclusion criteria were description of both the epidemiology and treatment of LSTIA in patients over the age of eighteen with carotid stenosis/occlusion, confirmed by radiographic imaging. Exclusion criteria were studies focusing on pediatrics, no epidemiological data, internal carotid artery (ICA) stenosis/occlusion not radiologically confirmed, full-text unavailable, full-text not in English or Dutch, and non-original articles.RESULTSOf the 8855 articles screened, 55 articles containing 251 patients were included. 50 articles harboring 81 patients were included in the IPD-MA and 7 articles harboring 187 patients were included in the cohort analysis. The results of the IPD-MA showed that LSTIA was caused by unilateral ICA stenosis/occlusion in 29 patients (36%) and most often from bilateral ICA stenosis/occlusion in 52 patients (64%). Limb-shaking was unilateral in 66 patients (83%) and was accompanied by weakness in 27 patients (33%). The intervention with the highest success rate was endovascular intervention (carotid stenting or balloon angioplasty), as all 10 patients remained asymptomatic after treatment. The cohort analysis showed that LSTIA can be caused by both unilateral and bilateral carotid stenosis or occlusion. The prevalence within cohorts of TIA patients of LSTIA varied considerably from 3.5% to 29%.CONCLUSIONA large international clinical registry is warranted to gain a better understanding of the epidemiology of LSTIA. There is insufficient evidence available to suggest a standard treatment.
背景肢体抖动性短暂性脑缺血发作(LSTIA)是一种罕见的神经系统疾病,表现为手臂或腿部不自主的抽搐运动,通常是由于颈动脉狭窄或闭塞所致。由于这种疾病非常罕见,因此人们对 LSTIA 的流行病学知之甚少,而且这种疾病经常被误诊。目前还没有标准的治疗方法。本研究的目的是概述 LSTIA 的流行病学及其当前的治疗方案。方法从数据库建立之初到 2023 年 12 月 30 日,我们对数据库中包含 LSTIA 流行病学和治疗信息的文章进行了检索:SEmbase、MEDLINE、Web of Science、随机对照试验的 Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials 和 Google Scholar。利用从纳入文章中提取的数据进行了单个患者数据荟萃分析(IPD-MA)。纳入标准是对 18 岁以上颈动脉狭窄/闭塞患者的 LSTIA 的流行病学和治疗方法进行描述,并经放射成像确认。排除标准包括:侧重于儿科的研究、无流行病学数据、颈内动脉(ICA)狭窄/闭塞未经放射学证实、无法获得全文、全文不是英语或荷兰语以及非原创文章。IPD-MA纳入了50篇文章,共收录81名患者;队列分析纳入了7篇文章,共收录187名患者。IPD-MA 的结果显示,29 名患者(36%)的 LSTIA 是由单侧 ICA 狭窄/闭塞引起的,52 名患者(64%)的 LSTIA 多是由双侧 ICA 狭窄/闭塞引起的。66 名患者(83%)出现单侧肢体抖动,27 名患者(33%)伴有肢体无力。成功率最高的干预措施是血管内干预(颈动脉支架或球囊血管成形术),因为所有10名患者在治疗后仍无症状。队列分析表明,单侧和双侧颈动脉狭窄或闭塞均可导致 LSTIA。TIA患者队列中LSTIA的发病率差异很大,从3.5%到29%不等。目前还没有足够的证据来建议一种标准的治疗方法。

INTRODUCTIONCerebral palsy (CP) is the most common cause of pediatric motor disability. While epidemiological data are widespread in high-income countries, corresponding data in low-income countries in Sub-Saharan Africa are still rare. This study aimed to estimate the prevalence of CP in Northern Benin, a French-speaking low-income country in Sub-Saharan Africa.METHODSThis study was a community-based door-to-door study involving children younger than 18 years old, in Parakou, a semi-urban city in Benin. We used a two-stage procedure. The first one consisted on children screening to identify potential cases of CP. During the second stage, suspected children were examined by neurologists with high experience with CP.RESULTSIn total, 2630 children were screened with 10 confirmed cases of CP, resulting in a crude prevalence (95% confidence interval) of 3.8(1.4, 6.15) per 1000 children. Of the ten confirmed cases, six were younger than 5 years old, and five were male. Eight children over ten were spastic with six bilateral spastic subtype according to the SCPE classification system. Seven children had a Gross Motor Function Classification System level III-V, and six were classified level III to V of the Manual Ability Classification System.CONCLUSIONCerebral palsy is highly prevalent in Semi-Urban area in Northern Benin. Large studies on potential risk factors are needed for the development of effective preventive strategies.
引言 大脑性麻痹(CP)是造成小儿运动障碍的最常见原因。虽然流行病学数据在高收入国家很普遍,但撒哈拉以南非洲低收入国家的相应数据仍然很少。本研究旨在估算撒哈拉以南非洲讲法语的低收入国家贝宁北部的 CP 患病率。我们采用了两个阶段的程序。第一阶段是对儿童进行筛查,以确定潜在的 CP 病例。结果共筛查出 2630 名儿童,其中 10 例确诊为 CP,粗略患病率(95% 置信区间)为每 1000 名儿童 3.8(1.4, 6.15)。在 10 例确诊病例中,6 例小于 5 岁,5 例为男性。根据SCPE分类系统,10岁以上的患儿中有8名是痉挛型,其中6名是双侧痉挛亚型。7名儿童的粗大运动功能分类系统为III-V级,6名儿童的徒手能力分类系统为III-V级。需要对潜在的风险因素进行大规模研究,以制定有效的预防策略。

INTRODUCTIONHealth care costs and societal impact of myasthenia gravis (MG), a potentially life-threatening rare, chronic neuromuscular disease are sparsely studied. We assessed healthcare resource utilization (HCRU) and associated costs among patients with newly diagnosed (ND) and pre-existing (PE) MG in Sweden.METHODSThis observational, retrospective cohort study used data from four linkable Swedish nationwide population-based registries. Adult MG patients receiving pharmacological treatment for MG and having ≥ 24-month follow-up during the period 1/1/2010 to 12/31/2017 were included.RESULTSA total of 1,275 patients were included in the analysis, of which 554 patients were categorized into the ND MG group and 721 into the PE MG group. Mean (±SD) age was 61.3 (±17.4) years and 52.3% were female. In first year post-diagnosis, ND patients had significantly higher utilization of acetylcholinesterase inhibitors (96.0% vs 83.9%), corticosteroids (59.6% vs 45.8%), thymectomy (12.1% vs 0.7%) and plasma exchange (3.8% vs 0.6%); had higher all-cause (70.9% vs 35.8%) and MG-related (62.5% vs 18.4%) hospitalization rates with 11 more hospitalization days (all p<0.01) and an increased risk of hospitalization (odds ratio [95% CI] = 4.4 [3.43, 5.64]) than PE MG. In year 1 post-diagnosis, ND MG patients incurred €7302 (p<0.01) higher total all-cause costs than PE MG, of which 84% were estimated to be MG-related and the majority (86%) were related to inpatient care. These results remained significant also after controlling for baseline demographics and comorbidities (p<0.01). In year 2 post-diagnosis, the all-cause medical costs decreased by ~55% for ND MG from year 1 and were comparable with PE MG.CONCLUSIONIn this population-based study, MG patients required significantly more healthcare resources in year 1 post-diagnosis than PE MG primarily due to more pharmacological treatments, thymectomies and associated hospitalizations. These findings highlight the need to better understand potential factors including disease characteristics associated with increased health resource use and costs and need for more efficacious treatments early in the disease course.
导言对重症肌无力(MG)这种可能危及生命的罕见慢性神经肌肉疾病的医疗成本和社会影响的研究很少。我们评估了瑞典新诊断(ND)和原有(PE)重症肌无力患者的医疗资源利用率(HCRU)和相关费用。结果共有1275名患者被纳入分析,其中554名患者被归入ND MG组,721名患者被归入PE MG组。平均(±SD)年龄为 61.3(±17.4)岁,52.3% 为女性。确诊后第一年,ND 患者使用乙酰胆碱酯酶抑制剂(96.0% vs 83.9%)、皮质类固醇(59.6% vs 45.8%)、胸腺切除术(12.1% vs 0.7%)和血浆置换术(3.8% vs 0.6%);与 PE MG 相比,其全因(70.9% vs 35.8%)和 MG 相关(62.5% vs 18.4%)住院率更高,住院天数增加 11 天(均 p<0.01),住院风险增加(几率比 [95% CI] = 4.4 [3.43, 5.64])。在确诊后的第 1 年,ND MG 患者的全因总费用比 PE MG 患者高出 7302 欧元(P<0.01),其中 84% 估计与 MG 有关,大部分(86%)与住院治疗有关。在控制了基线人口统计学和并发症后,这些结果仍有意义(P<0.01)。结论在这项基于人群的研究中,MG 患者在确诊后第 1 年所需的医疗资源明显多于 PE MG,这主要是由于更多的药物治疗、胸腺切除术和相关住院所致。这些发现突出表明,有必要更好地了解潜在的因素,包括与医疗资源使用和成本增加相关的疾病特征,以及在病程早期对更有效治疗的需求。

These findings highlight the need to better understand potential factors including disease characteristics associated with increased health resource use and costs and need for more efficacious treatments early in the disease course.","PeriodicalId":54730,"journal":{"name":"Neuroepidemiology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":5.7,"publicationDate":"2024-04-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140692568","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

INTRODUCTIONAneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is more common in women than in men, contrary to most cardiovascular diseases. However, it is unclear whether the case fatality rate (CFR) of SAH also differs by sex. Thus, we performed a systematic review to address the relationship between sex and SAH CFRs.METHODSWe conducted a systematic literature search in PubMed, Scopus, and Cochrane library databases. We focused on population-based studies that included both non-hospitalized and hospitalized SAHs and had either reported 1-month (28-31 day) SAH CFRs separately for men and women or calculated risk estimates for SAH CFR by sex. For quality classification, we used the Cochrane Collaboration Handbook and Critical Appraisal Skills Program guidelines. We pooled the study cohorts and calculated relative risk ratios (RR) with 95 % confidence intervals (CIs) for SAH death between women and men using a random-effects meta-analysis model.RESULTSThe literature search yielded 5,592 initial publications, of which 33 study cohorts were included in the final review. Of the 33 study cohorts, only three reported significant sex differences, although the findings were contradictory. In the pooled analysis of all 53,141 SAH cases (60.3 % women) from 26 countries, the 1-month CFR did not differ (RR = 0.99 [95 % CI 0.93-1.05]) between women (35.5 %) and men (35.0 %). According to our risk-of-bias evaluation, all 33 study cohorts were categorized as low quality. The most important sources of bias risks were related to the absence of proper confounding control (all 33 study cohorts), insufficient sample size (27 of 33 study cohorts), and poor/unclear diagnostic accuracy (27 of 33 study cohorts).CONCLUSIONContrary to SAH incidence rates, the SAH CFRs do not seem to differ between men and women. However, since none of the studies were specifically designed to examine the sex differences in SAH CFRs, future studies on the topic are warranted.
导言与大多数心血管疾病相反,动脉瘤性蛛网膜下腔出血(SAH)在女性中的发病率高于男性。然而,目前还不清楚蛛网膜下腔出血的病死率(CFR)是否也因性别而异。因此,我们针对性别与 SAH CFRs 之间的关系进行了系统性回顾。方法我们在 PubMed、Scopus 和 Cochrane 图书馆数据库中进行了系统性文献检索。我们将重点放在基于人群的研究上,这些研究既包括非住院的 SAH,也包括住院的 SAH,并且分别报告了男性和女性 1 个月(28-31 天)的 SAH CFR,或者计算了不同性别的 SAH CFR 风险估计值。在质量分类方面,我们采用了 Cochrane 协作手册和批判性评价技能计划指南。我们对研究队列进行了汇总,并使用随机效应荟萃分析模型计算了男女之间 SAH 死亡的相对风险比 (RR),以及 95% 的置信区间 (CI)。在这 33 项队列研究中,只有三项研究报告了显著的性别差异,但研究结果相互矛盾。在对 26 个国家所有 53,141 例 SAH 病例(60.3% 为女性)进行的汇总分析中,女性(35.5%)和男性(35.0%)的 1 个月 CFR 没有差异(RR = 0.99 [95 % CI 0.93-1.05])。根据我们的偏倚风险评估,所有 33 项队列研究均被归类为低质量研究。最重要的偏倚风险来源与缺乏适当的混杂控制(所有 33 项队列研究)、样本量不足(33 项队列研究中的 27 项)和诊断准确性差/不明确(33 项队列研究中的 27 项)有关。然而,由于没有一项研究是专门为检查 SAH CFR 的性别差异而设计的,因此今后有必要对该主题进行研究。
