Objective:
The purpose of the present study was to evaluate of continuous metabolic syndrome score (cMetS) in screening metabolic syndrome (MetS) and to determine the cut-off values in a representative sample of Xinjiang population aged 15 to 18 years old.
Methods:
A stratified cluster sampling was used to select participants aged 15-18 years from 13 cities in Xinjiang. cMetS was calculated by summing up the Zscores of standardized waist circumference, mean arterial pressure, high-density lipoprotein, triglyceride, and fasting blood glucose by age and gender.
Results:
Totally 16.3% of subjects were overweight, and 5.2% were obese. The proportion of overweight and obesity in males was significantly higher than that in females (18.1% vs 13.8%)(6.0% vs. 4.1%)(χ2=15.36,7.89,P<0.05). The prevalence of total MetS was 6.1%, with 6.6% and 5.4% for men and women, respectively. There was a correlation between cMetS and MetS components, and the average cMetS value increased with increasing MetS component(P<0.05). The total cut-off value of cMetS was 0.99 (sensitivity 68.0%, specificity 80.7%), and the area under the ROC curve was 84.9%. The cMetS scores for boys and girls were 0.80 and 1.48, respectively.
Conclusion
Compared with MetS, cMetS shows more accuracy in screening MetS among youth aged 15-18 years in both gender.

Objective To systematically analyze influencing factors of migration stress of patients'families transferred out of intensive care unit(ICU)in China,and provide evidence-based guidance for alleviating migration stress level of families of transferred patients.Methods Computer searches were conducted on China National Knowledge Infrastructure,Wanfang Data Knowledge Service Platform,VIP,China Biomedical Literature Database,Web of Science,PubMed,the Cochrane Library and Embase for observational studies such as cohort studies,case-control studies and cross-sectional studies on factors influencing migration stress among family members of ICU patients.Search deadline was from database establishment to October 2023.Literature screening,quality assessment and data extraction were conducted independently by two researchers in accordance with the inclusion and exclusion criteria.RevMan5.4 software was used to conduct a Meta-analysis of the data results.Results Fifteen studies were finally included,with a total sample size of 2558 and 12 influencing factors were extracted.Fifteen articles were divided into positive scoring group(higher scores,higher levels of migration stress,nine articles)and negative scoring group(higher scores,lower levels of migration stress,six articles)based on instruments used to measure outcome indicators.When analyzing each group,only factors mentioned in the group more than twice were included in Meta analysis.Meta analysis showed that within positive scoring group,family member education level,family member gender,patient awareness,ICU treatment time and family member uncertainty about the disease were factors affecting migration stress of ICU transfer patients'families(P<0.05);In reverse calculation group,educational level of family member,gender of family member,age of patient and ICU treatment time were influencing factors of migration stress of family members of ICU transfer patients(P<0.05).Sensitivity analysis result showed that result of each factor was relatively stable.Conclusion Educational level of family member,gender of family member,age of patient,ICU treatment time,uncertainty of family member's illness are influencing factors of migration stress of family members of patients transferred out of ICU in China.Influence of family member's religious beliefs and patient's consciousness needs further demonstration.
