Objective To investigate the application value of spectral computed tomography venography(CTV)in the display and staging of deep venous thrombosis(DVT)in the lower extremity.Methods Eighty-two patients with CTV were selected and ran-domly divided into group A(42 patients)and group B(40 patients).Group A:tube voltage 120 kVp.Group B:gemstone spectral ima-ging(GSI)mode,reconstruction of 50 keV and iodine(water)maps.The CT and standard deviation(SD)values of the veins were measured,signal-to-noise ratio(SNR)and contrast-to-noise ratio(CNR)were calculated in 120 kVp images of group A and in 50 keV images of group B.Two observers scored the image quality of the 2 groups subjectively,and Kappa test was used to examine the con-sistency.Based on the duration from the occurrence of clinical symptoms,the DVTs were classified.The CT values and iodine con-centration(IC)of DVT were measured in the 120 kVp images of group A and in the iodine(water)maps of group B,respectively.The receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was drawn to compare the effectiveness of CT values and IC in diagnosing DVT staging.Results CT values,SNR,and CNR of veins in group B were higher than those in group A(P<0.05).The subjective scores of the two groups were consistent(Kappa=0.926-0.955,P<0.05).The score for the display of veins and thrombus clarity in group B was 5(4,5),which was better than the score of 4(3,4)in group A(P<0.05).The efficiency of IC in diagnosing DVT staging[area under the curve(AUC)=0.973]was better than that of CT values(AUC=0.891).Conclusion The spectral CTV can improve the contrast of lower extremity deep veins and the clarity of thrombus,and can provide more objective indicators for the diagnosis of thrombus staging,which is conducive to accurate clinical diagnosis and treatment.

OBJECTIVE To analyze the grouping effect and composition of hospitalization costs for cases of patients with malignant proliferative disease under the diagnosis-related group (DRG) payment system, as well as any changes, in order to provide a basis for medical institutions to improve DRG payment-related measures, control drug costs, and for relevant departments to make decisions. METHODS The data of patients with malignant proliferative disease cases were collected from a “Third Grade Class A” hospital in 2021 and 2022, and the variation coefficient (CV) was used to evaluate the grouping of DRG. The structural variation degree and the new grey correlation analysis were used to study the structural variation of hospitalization cost and the correlation degree between the hospitalization cost and the cost of other items. RESULTS The overall reduction in variance (RIV) for the DRG group of patients with malignant proliferative disease was 79.36%; the CV of other groups were all lower than one except that the RW21 group was 1.09. Compared with 2021, the hospitalization cost for patients with malignant proliferative disease in 2022 decreased by 17.80%, and the decreases in management fees and drug costs were 32.15% and 21.30%, respectively, while the per capita medical expenses increased by 17.26%. The new grey correlation degree of drug cost decreased, but that of medical expenses increased. CONCLUSIONS Under the DRG payment system, hospitalization costs for patients with malignant proliferative disease in the sample hospital decrease, but the grouping efficiency of RW21 and other disease groups needs improvement, and the cost structure needs optimization.

OBJECTIVE To explor e the effect of clinical pharmacists participatin g in fine management of pharmaceutical affairs among the inpatients in the department of gastroenterology based on diagnosis related groups (DRG)data. METHODS The discharged patients in the gastroenterology department of our hospital were selected as the research objects to compare the changes of DRG indicators and hospitalization related indicators before (from April to December 2019)and after (from April to December 2020 and from April to December 2021) pharmacists participating in fine management of pharmaceutical affairs in the gastroenterology department. The key DRG with the highest number of enrolled cases and DRG cases of the total cost overrun were analyzed to explore the deviation of various costs. The rationality of drug use was evaluated for the cases in each DRG that exceeded the benchmark hospital payment standard by three times ,with the help of prescription doctor ’s advice review. RESULTS In the first year of intervention ,the case combination index value of gastroenterology department was increased ,meanwhile,the cost consumption index ,time consumption index and average hospital stay were decreased significantly (P<0.01). In the second year of intervention ,total weight of the cases in gastroenterology department was increased ,while cost consumption index ,time consumption index ,hospitalization cost per time ,drug cost per time and average hospital stay were all decreased significantly , compared with before intervention (P<0.01). Among the top five DRG ,the drug cost per time in the GZ 15,GZ13 and GJ 15 were all decreased significantly in the first year of intervention ;hospitalization cost per time and drug cost per time in the GZ 15,GZ13, GJ15 and GJ 13 were all decreased significantly in the second year of intervention (P<0.01);after the intervention of clinical pharmacists in DRG over-expenditure cases ,the over-expenditure rate decreased significantly (P<0.001). CONCLUSIONS The fine management of pharmaceutical affairs in our hospital has achieved certain results and promotes the rationality of clinical drug use,and provides a new entry point for the cost control and utilization of medical institutions under the background of 〔2020〕68号) DRG.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the effectiveness of clinical pharmacists’ participation in the refined pharmaceutical management for inpatients of oncology center based on diagnosis related groups (DRG). METHODS Patients who entered DRG and stayed in hospital for less than 60 days in oncology center of Daping Hospital, Army Medical University were selected as the research objects to analyze the changes of DRG indicators and related hospitalization indicators before the intervention of clinical pharmacists’ participation in the refined pharmaceutical management (Jan.-Dec. 2019), the first year after the intervention (Jan.- Dec. 2020), and the second year after the intervention (Jan.-Dec. 2021); the key DRG groups were selected from the oncology center according to DRG enrollment and disease diagnosis and treatment methods, and related hospitalization indicators before and after the intervention and rational drug use after intervention were analyzed. RESULTS Compared with before intervention, in the first and second years after the intervention, the number of DRG groups increased to 157 and 184, and the case mix index increased significantly (P<0.05), while costconsumption index, time consumption index, average hospital stay and average hospitalization expense per time were decreased or shortened significantly (P<0.05); drug cost per time was increased significantly (P<0.05), and there were no low- risk deaths and severe adverse drug reactions. Among the 4 key DRG groups, the average hospital stay in RE19 disease group and RU29 disease group in the first and second year after intervention and those of RU14 disease group in the first year after intervention were significantly lower than before (P<0.05); the average hospitalization expense per time of RE19 disease group in the first and second year after intervention and those of RU14 disease group, RV19 disease group and RU29 disease group in the second year after intervention were significantly lower than before (P<0.05); drug cost per time of RU14 disease group in the second year after intervention was significantly lower than before, while those of RE19 disease group and RU29 disease group in the first and second year after intervention were significantly higher than before (P<0.05). There was some irrational drug use in the DRG disease groups with a significant increase in the drug cost per time after the intervention, such as inappropriate selection of drugs, inappropriate usage and dosage, off-label drug use, etc. CONCLUSIONS In the context of DRG, after the clinical pharmacists participated in the refined pharmaceutical management, the overall diagnosis and treatment service capacity of oncology center are improved, the efficiency of diagnosis and treatment are improved, and there are no low-risk deaths and severe adverse drug reactions, which promote the management of rational drug use in medical institutions.
