Objective To explore the selection of medical unit and the major influencing factors among residents in Hubei province,to allocate reasonably the health resources and provide reference for developing medical policy.Methods With the method of multi-stage stratified cluster sampling,household survey were done.The multilevel statistical model was used to analyze the influencing factors of the first diagnosed agencies.Results The proportions of residents who chose primary medical institutions as the first diagnosed agencies were 64.5% in urban areas and 84.3% in rural areas,and the visiting rate decreased as the level of health care institutions increased.The selection of first diagnosed agencies among patients were related to district (city or village,OR=0.463,95%CI..0.254-0.842),age (OR=1.023,95%CI:1.010-1.036),the educational attainment (OR>1.000),illness duration in days (OR=0.945,95%CI:0.917-0.973) and number of days in bed (OR=0.854,95 % CI:0.825-0.884).Conclusion The residents who chose primary medical institutions as the first diagnosed agencies took a large proportion.District,age,the educational attainment and the illness duration in days had influence on the selection of the first diagnosed agencies among residents.

OBJECTIVE To investigate in vitro activities of 12 antimicrobial agents including cefmetazole against extended-spectrum beta-lactamases-producing Escherichia coli(528 strains),Klebsiella pneumoniae(311 strains) and Proteus mirabilis(15 strains).METHODS They all collected from 15 teaching hospitals in China during 2005 and 2006 and included in the study.The levels of minimal inhibitory concentration(MIC) of 12 antimicrobial agents were determined by agar dilution method.WHONET 5.4 Software was used to analyze the data.RESULTS Against ESBLs-producing E.coli and ESBLs-producing K.pneumoniae,carbapenems were the most active antimicrobial agents(all 100.0% susceptible),followed by cephamycins(80.1-97.3%).Piperacillin/tazobactam(78.5-95.1%)showed a higher activity than cefoperazone/sulbactam(44.1-56.2%).The susceptible rate to ceftazidime against ESBLs-producing E.coli was remarkably higher than the other three cephalosporins,however the differences did not happen to ESBL-producing K.pneumoniae obviously.The susceptible rate to cefuroxime was below 1.6%.ESBLs-producing K.pneumoniae showed high sensitivity to carbapenems,cephamycins and ?-lactam/lactamase inhibitor combinations(all 100% susceptible),however the susceptible rates to cephalosporins were relatively lower.CONCLUSIONS Carbapenems and cephamycins remain the relatively high activity against ESBLs-producing Enterobacteriaceae.

Purpose/Significance To quantitatively analyze and evaluate 26 health informatization construction policies issued at the national level,so as to provide basis for improving related policies.Method/Process Based on the policy modeling consistency(PMC)index model,a health informatization construction policy evaluation index system is constructed,which includes 9 first-level indicators and 36 second-level indicators.Appling it to the evaluation of various policy texts,and the health informatization construction policies are analyzed in a holistic and concrete way.Result/Conclusion The overall score of the health informatization construction policies is ex-cellent.2 policies are at the perfect level,80.6%of policies are at the excellent level,and there are no bad level policy texts.However,the driving force of the policy and the balance of policy recipients need to be further improved.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the antimicrobial resistance of hospital-and community-acquired pathogens collected from 10 teaching hospitals located at different areas in China in 2006.METHODS According to the study protocol,the strains of Streptococcus pneumoniae,meticillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus(MSSA),Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae were collected and sent to the central lab for reidentification and susceptibility testing.The minimal inhibitory concentrations(MICs) of antimicrobial agents against Str.pneumoniae were determined by Etest method and MICs of antimicrobial agents against S.aureus,E.coli and K.pneumoniae strains were determined by agar dilution method.WHONET5.4 software was used to analyze the data.RESULTS Among 353 Str.pneumoniae strains,74.2% were penicillin-susceptible(PSSP),9.6% were penicillin-intermediate(PISP) and 16.2% were penicillin-resistant(PRSP).Strains from different hospitals showed different sensitivity to penicillin.Among ?-lactam antibiotics,cefuroxime showed the lowest susceptibility rate of 0%(for PRSP) to 76.7%(for PSSP).The susceptibility rate to ceftriaxone and amoxicillin-clavulanic acid was 98.1% and 98.9% in PSSP group,61.8% and 64.7% in PISP group,and 15.8% and 10.5% in PRSP group.The ESBLs rate was 56.2% among 267 Escherichia strains and 42.7% among 206 K.pneumoniae strains.For ESBLs-producing strains,the susceptibility rates to cefotaxime and ceftriaxone were low and the rate to ceftazidime was relatively high among ?-lactam antibiotics.73.4% MSSA strains produced ?-lactamase.?-Lactam antibiotics tested showed high susceptibility against MSSA strains.The susceptibility rate was 98.9-100%.The susceptibility rate to ciprofloxacin and levofloxacin was 80.8% and 88.1%,separately.CONCLUSIONS Fluoroquinolones show high susceptibility against Str.pneumoniae.Ceftriaxone and amoxicillin-clavulanic acid have relatively high susceptibility among ?-lactams.For MSSA and non-ESBLs-producing E.coli and K.pneumoniae strains,?-lactams show high susceptibility.For ESBLs-producing E.coli and K.pneumoniae strains,the susceptibility rates to cefotaxime and ceftriaxone are low and that to ceftazidime,cefepime and cefoperazone-sulbactam are relatively high.

OBJECTIVE To estimate the cost-utility of sacituzumab govitecan (SG) versus single-agent chemotherapy in the treatment of hormone receptor-positive (HR+)/human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative (HER2-) advanced metastatic breast cancer. METHODS From the perspective of the Chinese medical system, a three-state partitioned survival model was constructed to examine the cost-utility of SG versus single-agent chemotherapy based on TROPiCS-02 trial. The cycle length was set to 1 month, and the time horizon was 10 years. The annual discount was 5%. The model output included total costs and quality adjusted life month (QALM), and incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER) was calculated for cost-utility analysis, by setting willingness-to-pay (WTP) threshold at 3 times gross domestic product (GDP) per capita of China in 2023 (22 340 yuan/QALM). Univariate sensitivity analyses, probability sensitivity analyses, and scenario analyses were performed to evaluate the robustness of the results and calculate the price threshold when SG had economic advantages. RESULTS SG group gained incremental 4.25 QALM and 561 570 yuan compared with single-agent chemotherapy, which resulted in an ICER of 132 102/QALM that was higher than WTP. The results of the univariate sensitivity analysis showed that the monthly average cost of SG had the greatest impact on the results; the results of probability sensitivity analysis showed that the probability of SG scheme being cost-effective at the WTP threshold was 0. The results of scenario analysis showed that the conclusions of this study were robust under different time horizons (5, 10, 15 years). The price threshold for SG being cost-effective was 1 344 yuan per 180 mg. CONCLUSIONS Based on the perspective of Chinese medical system, SG appears to be not cost-effective compared with single-agent chemotherapy for HR+/ HER2- advanced metastatic breast cancer at the price of 8 400 yuan per 180 mg. A substantial price cut should be taken to be cost- effective.
