Objective:To analyze and compare the demographic and clinical characteristics of patients with different types of hyperglycemic crisis, so as to provide clinical basis for the prevention and treatment of hyperglycemic crisis.Methods:The data of patients with hyperglycemic crisis in six First-level general hospitals in Chongqing from Jan. 2015 to Dec. 2020 were retrospectively collected and divided into diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) , hyperglycemic hyperosmolar state (HHS) and diabetic ketoacidosis with hyperglycemic hyperosmotic state (DKA-HHS) . The demographic and clinical characteristics of each group were analyzed by descriptive method.Results:A total of 1668 patients were collected, among whom1388 were DKA, 113 were HHS and 167 were DKA-HHS. The proportion of T2DM in DKA was 90.1%, the proportion of urban residents’ medical insurance, farmers and retirees was higher in the three groups, and the incidence of hyperglycemic crisis in patients above 60 years old was the highest in all age groups. The incidence of DKA and HHS changed little during the six years, but increased significantly in the DKA-HHS group. Shock, disturbance of consciousness, hospitalization expenses and mortality in the DKA-HHS group were higher than those in the other two groups.Conclusions:There are differences in demographic and clinical characteristics among different types of hyperglycemic crisis. Clinically, more attention should be paid to patients above 60 years old and patients with hyperglycemic crisis such as DKA-HHS. Health education and guidance for diabetic patients in high-risk groups should be strengthened in order to reduce the occurrence of diabetic hyperglycemic crisis.

Objective:To explore the contents and methods of clinical comprehensive evaluation of microecologics, with the example of Bifidobacterium quadruple viable tablet, in order to provide evidence for clinical rational use of microecologics, and microecologics research, development and related decision-making, and to promote rational use of medications. Methods:Based on the research data collected from systematic literature search, health technology assessment methods such as evidence-based medicine and pharmacoeconomics evaluation were used to estimate the safety, efficacy, economics, suitability, accessibility and innovation of Bifidobacterium quadruple viable tablet. Results:In terms of efficacy, Bifidobacterium quadruple viable tablet showed significant therapeutic effects in the treatment of pediatric diarrhea, antibiotic-related diarrhea, diarrhea-predominant irritable bowel syndrome, and secondary diarrhea caused by diseases such as ulcerative colitis, as well as constipation and functional dyspepsia. It can also be used in the treatment of various diseases such as Helicobacter pylori related gastritis, liver cirrhosis, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. In terms of safety, the incidence of adverse effects of this medication was low, and most were mild to moderate and transient symptoms. In terms of economics, compared with mesalazine alone in the treatment of ulcerative colitis, the incremental cost-effectiveness ratio of combination of Bifidobacterium quadruple viable tablet and mesalazine was 1 743.2. Besides, the daily treatment cost of Bifidobacterium quadruple viable tablet was lower than that of combination of Bifidobacterium triple viable and Bacillus licheniformis (1.87 to 2.80 yuan vs. 2.08 to 5.78 yuan). In terms of innovation, this medication had multiple patents and had been identified as a high-tech product in Zhejiang Province. In terms of suitability, the overall suitability of use and technical characteristics of medication were good. It could be further improved in the aspects of dosage form and system. In terms of accessibility, the price of the medication was stable, affordable and accessible to the general public. Conclusions:Based on the existing evidence, Bifidobacterium quadruple viable tablet presented effective with supported evidences, good safety, accessibility and innovation. The suitability can be further optimized. However, more in-depth and targeted research is needed in terms of economics and innovation in different clinical applications, and there is space for optimization in medication suitability.
