Objective To investigate the prenatal diagnosis and postnatal clinical outcomes of fetal congenital choledochal cyst (CCC) to improve the recognition and treatment of fetal CCC.Methods Clinical data of 23 cases of fetal CCC which were diagnosed during routine prenatal ultrasonic examination in Jinhua Municipal Central Hospital from June 2009 to May 2015 were retrospectively analyzzed. Maternal age, gestational age at diagnosis of CCC, location and size of cyst, postnatal examination, age at operation and follow-up outcomes were recorded and statistically analyzed by Wilcoxon rank-sum test.Results (1) Among the 23 cases, six (26%) were terminated and the rest 17 continued their pregnancies (74%). (2) Results of the prenatal ultrasonography of the 23 cases indicated that hepatic portal cysts were closely related to hepatic portal veins or arteries. Six of the cysts communicated with gall bladder and eight connected to intrahepatic bile duct. The maximum diameter of the cysts in the 23 cases was 16.0-31.0 mm, averagely (24.7±3.7) mm. The maximum diameter of cysts diagnosed in the third trimester was significantly larger than that in the second trimester [ 27.0 (22.0-31.0) vs 23.0 (21.0-25.0) mm,Z=-2.134,P<0.05]. (3) Among the 17 cases of continued pregnancy, one underwent cesarean section at 35+ weeks of gestation and 16 delivered at term with the average gestational age at delivery of (38.2±1.1) weeks. All neonates were re-examined by abdominal ultrasound at 1-2 postnatal weeks and confimed prenatal diagnosed of CCC. (4) The 17 neonates were re-examined by abdominal ultrasound during the second postnatal week and the results showed that cyst size remained the same in four, decreased in one and gradually increased with the gestational age in 12 neonates. Among the 16 cases of confirmed CCC, 12 received surgery, including 11 (Ⅰa, 6;Ⅰc, 3;Ⅳb, 2) within one year-old and one (Ⅰc) around 18 months old. The prognosis was uneventful. Four out of the 16 cases rejected surgical operation and were followed up in outpatient. One neonate was diagnosed with congenital biliary atresia and transferred to Children's Hospital for operation.Conclusions When fetal abdominal cyst presented with hepatic portal cyst which communicates with gallbladder or intra-hepatic duct in ultrasonography, a congenital choledochal cyst should be taken into consideration by excluding the possibility of biliary atresia in the first place. Surgery for CCC infants without symptoms or signs is suggested to be performed around three months after birth. The postoperative prognosis of CCC is favorable, so termination is not recommended for gravidas with fetal CCC in prenatal consultation.

Objective? To understand the status quo of knowledge, attitude and practice (KAP) of nurses in hospital and community about nutrition for stroke patients, compare their differences, and analyze the common related factors, so as to provide basis for carrying out nutritional nursing education for stroke patients in hospital-community interaction. Methods? A total of 160 neurology nurses from 7 Class Ⅲ Grade A hospitals and 161 nurses from 10 community hospitals in Shanghai were selected from August to October 2017 by convenience sampling method. The Chinese version of the Staff Attitudes to Nutritional Nursing Care Geriatric scale were applied in the investigation. A total of 340 questionnaires were distributed and 321 valid questionnaires were recovered, with a recovery rate of 94.4%. SPSS 20.0 software was used for statistical analysis. Results? The scores of nutrition knowledge, nutrition attitude and nutritional practice of the 160 hospital nurses were (58.44±12.67), (72.72±10.73) and (85.50±15.49) respectively, while those of the 161 community nurses were (53.98±13.15), (75.87±8.24) and (69.81±16.75) respectively. The differences in scores between the two groups were statistically significant (P< 0.05). Multiple linear stepwise regression analysis showed that the factors related to nutritional knowledge were academic qualifications and further study at work. Academic qualifications, duration of continuous nursing for stroke patients and nutritional course in school were related to nutrition attitude. Age, academic qualifications and clinical nutrition nursing training were the main factors influencing nutrition practice scores. Conclusions? There are differences in scores of nutrition KAP between hospital and community nurses. Effective nutrition nursing training can improve nurses' KAP of nutrition for stroke patients, so as to ensure the effective development of nutrition nursing services for patients.

ObjectiveTo develop and preliminarily apply a dynamic scoring information system for critically ill patients to optimize the management system for critically ill patients. Methods? Totally 55 risk factors of three groups were selected based on Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation Scoring System, Tiss-28 Scoring System 2, critical value and expert consensus and included in the information platform, which was connected to the hospital's information and data system. A dynamic scoring system was designed and developed independently. The system consisted of two modules: alarm and clinical decision-making. An operation protocol was made by the Department of Nursing and included into the nursing management system to ensure that the system could run effectively. Data of inpatients in Tenth People's Hospital of Tongji University from October 2015 to October 2017 was selected. The disease recognition of the dynamic scoring system and the existing MEWS alarm and scoring system and the success rate of treatment in critically ill patients before and after the dynamic scoring system was introduced were compared. Results? The area under receiver operating characteristic curves (AUC-ROC) of the dynamic scoring system was 0.947(95%CI 0.930-0.964), which showed higher recognition of critical illness compared with the MEWS alarm and scoring system (P<0.05). After the dynamic information system was introduced, the success rate of treatment in critically ill patients was 68.61%, which was higher than that before it was applied (χ2=10.046; P=0.002). Conclusions? The dynamic scoring system can accurately evaluate patients' disease and provide digital data and a list of clinical decisions for nurses, thus improving the success rate of treatment in critically ill patients and enhancing nurses' clinical decision-making ability.

Objective? To investigate the application status of transitional care quality indicators for chronic disease in hospitals in China so as to provide a reference for improving transitional care quality evaluation for chronic disease. Methods? We selected nursing managers from 55 hospitals participating a national nursing conference in Shanghai in 2018 as subjects by convenience sampling. The self-designed hospital transitional care quality indicators questionnaire for chronic disease was used to investigate the usage condition of transitional care quality indicators for chronic disease in 55 hospitals. χ2 test was used to compare the utilization ratio of third-level indexes of transitional care of Class Ⅱand Class Ⅲ hospitals. Results? Among 55 hospitals, the highest usage of first-level indexes was structure index (0.813±0.164). The top 3 usage of second-level indexes included hospital readiness (0.932±0.047), patient satisfaction (0.927±0.262) and adverse event rate (0.888±0.143); the bottom 3 usage included health status of patients (0.470±0.112), external hospital extension (0.418±0.280) and connect inside and outside of hospital (0.309±0.149). In importance of second-level indexes, the top 3 usage included the adverse event rate, hospital readiness and material resources; the bottom 3 usage involved the utilization ratio of medical resources, connect inside and outside of hospital and external hospital extension. There were statistical differences in the usage rates of medical resource indexes in ClassⅡand ClassⅢ hospitals, such as readmission rate, visiting rate in emergency department, hospital stay and mortality (χ2=9.406, 5.430, 6.339, 6.339;P< 0.05). Conclusions? Among 55 hospitals of China, the transitional care quality evaluation for chronic disease is generally insufficient which is needed to be paid attention to. Hospitals needs to optimize the proportion of indexes, improve and pay more attention to the evaluation for process indicators and outcome indicators, and perfect management and monitor for transitional care.

Objective? To explore the development and effects assessment of transitional care on stroke in communities of Shanghai so as to provide a reference for improving the development and assessment of transitional care on stroke. Methods? From 30 to 31 October 2018, we selected nurses in 55 communities of Shanghai as subjects by convenience sampling. The self-designed questionnaire was used to investigate the general condition, development program and effects assessment of transitional care on stroke in communities. SPSS 20.0 was used to statistical data analysis. Results? Among the 55 communities, 44 (80.0%) communities carried out transitional care on stroke. A total of 29 communities were with the general level of development in transitional care on stroke, and 26 communities were the general level of effects assessment. A total of 41 communities built the linkage model, and only 14 of them had effects assessment indexes. Besides, 93.2% of communities developed two-way referral and telephone follow-up. Conclusions? Transitional care on stroke is developed in most communities of Shanghai with limitations in developing program, regional cooperation and effects assessment. The communities need further expand the development program of transitional care on stroke, improve the regional cooperation between hospitals and communities, build effects assessment indexes and pay attention to transitional model and outcome assessment of caregivers.

Objective? To understand the situation of cardiac rehabilitation from Class Ⅱ and Class Ⅲ hospitals in China, so as to provide a reference for optimizing cardiac rehabilitation. Methods? In June 2018, we selected 68 nursing managers of ClassⅡ and ClassⅢ hospitals from totals of 12 provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the central government such as Shanghai, Zhejiang Province, Jilin Province, Guizhou Province and the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region as subjects by convenience sampling. We investigated the basis development condition, rehabilitation content, implementation of transitional nursing of cardiac rehabilitation in those hospitals. Results? Among 68 ClassⅡ and ClassⅢ hospitals, the score of cardiac rehabilitation was (4.75±1.73) with the lower middle level as a whole. The good development of cardiac rehabilitation included the smoking cessation guidance, diet guidance and blood pressure control. The poor development of cardiac rehabilitation involved the vocational rehabilitation guidance, assessment for quality of life and mental management. The main influencing factors of development of cardiac rehabilitation were staff shortage (70.59%), lack of perfect operational mechanism (66.18%) and lack of policy support (52.94%). Conclusions? In China, the Class Ⅱ and Class Ⅲ hospitals have developed cardiac rehabilitation in succession however with many deficiencies. Hospitals should strengthen the basic construction of cardiac rehabilitation, perfect the rehabilitation content and promote the development of transitional nursing.
