Objective:To explore the impact of coronary CT angiography (CCTA) image quality and related factors on the diagnostic performance of CT-derived fractional flow reserve (CT-FFR).Methods:Based on the CT-FFR CHINA trial, the prospective multicenter trial enrolled patients with suspected coronary artery disease who underwent CCTA, CT-FFR and FFR measurement. The subjective and objective assessments of CCTA image were performed on a per-vessel level. The objective assessments included the enhancement degree of coronary artery, the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of the aortic root. We used χ 2 test and DeLong test to compare the diagnostic performance of CT-FFR with FFR as the reference standard in different subjective groups (non-artifact vs. artifact), enhancement degree of coronary artery groups (≤400 vs. 401-500 vs.>500 HU), SNR of the aortic root groups (≤16.9 vs.>16.9), body mass index (BMI) groups (<25 kg/m 2 vs.≥25 kg/m 2) and heart rate groups (<75 bpm vs.≥75 bpm). FFR and CT-FFR values≤0.80 was identified as myocardial ischemia. Results:The study enrolled 317 patients with 366 vessels. All target vessels in CCTA images were successfully analyzed by CT-FFR. The accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value and AUC of the non-artifact group were 90.45%, 86.75%, 93.10%, 90.00%, 90.76% and 0.928, respectively, and those of the artifact group were 83.23%, 87.21%, 79.01%, 81.52%, 85.33% and 0.869, respectively. The differences in accuracy and specificity were statistically significant (χ 2=4.23, P=0.040; χ 2=8.55, P=0.003). The diagnostic efficacy of CT-FFR had no statistically significant differences among different objective groups (all P>0.05). Conclusions:The artifact of CCTA image has an effect on CT-FFR in the diagnosis of myocardial ischemia. The degree of vascular enhancement, SNR, BMI, and heart rate have no significant effect on the diagnostic performance of CT-FFR.

ObjectiveTo understand the health-related life quality and its influencing factors in elderly community residents in Shanghai, and to provide reference for improving their life quality. MethodsDuring April to June 2021, a cross-sectional survey was conducted in five selected community health care centers, from Baoshan District, Minhang District, Songjiang District and Pudong New District of Shanghai, respectively. The elderly residents aged 65 and over who received physical examination were face-to-face interviewed using EQ-5D-5L scale. SPSS 26.0 and Stata 16 were used for statistical analysis. Binary logistic regression, multiple linear regression and Tobit regression were used to analyze influencing factors of each dimension in EQ-5D scale, EQ-VAS score and health utility value. ResultsA total of 1302 elderly residents were included in the study, and the proportions of problems in the five dimensions of EQ-5D-5L scale were pain/discomfort (13.9%), mobility (9.1%), daily activity (5.8%), self-care ability (4.8%) and anxiety/depression (3.6%), while age was a factor influencing problems in each dimension. The average score of EQ-VAS was 84.28±10.32, and the average health utility value based on Chinese population was 0.97±0.08, which was higher than the rest of the country. Tobit regression analysis showed that female (t=-3.96, P<0.001), age group over 75 (t=-5.28, P<0.001), high school education or above (t=-2.53, P=0.012), chronic disease (t=-5.12, P<0.001) had poor quality of life (P<0.05). ConclusionThe overall quality of life of the elderly in Shanghai community is good, but the quality of life in the elderly women and in the group suffering from chronic diseases is relatively poor. It is necessary to pay more attention to the key populations to improve their health status.

Objective To explore the relationship between baseline urinary protein levels and the onset of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Methods A questionnaire survey, blood and urine sample collection, physical examination, and pulmonary function test were conducted among permanent residents over 40 years old in Pudong New Area, Shanghai. The subjects were divided into four groups based on the baseline urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio (ACR) quartiles (0~1.65 mg/g, 1.65~4.89 mg/g, 4.89~10.78 mg/g, and ≥10.78 mg/g). Cox regression analysis was used to explore the relationship between ACR levels and the incidence of COPD in middle-aged and elderly people. Results Among the 3 105 subjects, the median follow-up time was 3.212 years (P25~P75:3.102~3.473). 116 new cases of COPD were observed, with an incidence density of 10.423 per 1000 person-years. The incidence densities for COPD at four ACR levels were 7.922 per 1 000 person-years, 8.300 per 1 000 person-years , 11.419 per 1 000 person-years, and 13.843 per 1 000 person-years, respectively. Cox regression analysis revealed that as the ACR level increased, there was a rising trend in the incidence rate of COPD (χ2=4.396, P=0.036). After adjusting for gender, age, education level, occupational exposure to dust, history of childhood pneumonia, smoking, family history of COPD, central obesity, and hypertension, the risk of developing COPD was 2.499 times higher (95% CI: 1.460~4.276) for ACR levels ≥10.78 mg/g compared to the reference group with a baseline ACR level of 0~1.65 mg/g. Conclusion Elevated ACR levels in middle-aged and elderly population may increase the risk of COPD, and early monitoring of urine protein levels is beneficial for COPD prevention.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the intervention effect of meteorological risk forecasting service on acute onset and medical expenses of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD) patients, and to provide scientific basis for the establishment of health management model for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD) patients. MethodsStudy subjects were recruited from chronic obstructive pulmonary patients aged ≥40 in Pudong New Area. Propensity score matching method was used to determine the intervention group and the control group. The control group received regular health education and follow-up management, and the intervention group was provided with meteorological and environmental risk forecasting services through WeChat, mobile phone short message service(SMS)and telephone. Finally, a total of2 589 subjects were included in the analysis, including 1 300 in the intervention group and 1 289 in the control group. General demographic data, past medical history and family history of COPD, COPD related knowledge and practice survey, COPD related symptom assessment, acute onset, health service utilization and medical expenses before and after intervention were collected through questionnaire survey. The differences of acute attack, health service utilization and related medical expenses between the two groups before and after intervention were compared to evaluate the intervention effect. ResultsIn terms of acute attacks, after intervention, the incidence of acute attacks in the intervention group was lower than that before intervention(χ2=52.901, P<0.001), and the incidence of acute attacks in the groups with different intervention methods was lower than that before intervention (P<0.001). WeChat had the best effect, decreasing the incidence by 14.4%, followed by mobile phone SMS SMS decreasing by 12.3%. In terms of utilization of health services, the outpatient rate due to acute attack was lower in the intervention group after intervention than that before intervention (χ2=7.129, P=0.008), and the outpatient rate due to acute attack was lower in the subjects who received the forecast service through mobile phone SMS than that before intervention (χ2=4.675, P<0.001). In terms of medical expenses, there was no significant difference between control group and intervention group with different intervention methods before intervention (P>0.05). After intervention, the difference between the control group and the intervention group with different intervention methods was statistically significant (H=11.864, P<0.05). The results of multiple comparisons showed that compared with the control group, the average annual medical expenses of patients receiving mobile phone SMS and telephone forecasting services after intervention were lower than those of the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). ConclusionMeteorological risk forecasting service can reduce the acute onset of COPD, reduce the rate of consultation and medical expenses due to acute onset, and provide scientific basis for the basic COPD health management model.
