Objective:To analyze the current allocation situation and equity of Class B large medical equipment in China,and provide references for reasonably optimizing the allocation of medical equipment.Methods:Based on the allocation data of Class B large medical equipment in China at the end of the 13th Five Year Plan period,the agglomeration degree method was used to evaluate the equity of equipment allocation in various regions from the dimensions of geography,population,and economic development.Results:The current allocation of Class B large medical equipment per million population was 3.19,and the eastern region(3.64)was higher than the central region(3.42),the central region(2.24)was higher than the western region.The agglomeration degree of medical equipment based on geographical area showed that most of the equipment in the eastern region was in a rich state,and the allocation equity was relatively good in the central region,but generally poor in the western region.The agglomeration degree of medical equipment based on population distribution was higher in the eastern region than in the central region and even higher in the western region.The equipment in the eastern region could basically meet the demand of the local population,while the allocation in the central and western regions was slightly insufficient.The distribution of medical equipment agglomeration degree based on economic development varied significantly among different regions,and the allocation equity of central region was generally better than that of eastern and western regions.Conclusion:The total allocation of Class B large medical equipment in China is not high,and the government needs to continue planning and improving it.The distribution of medical equipment allocation based on geography,population and economic development is unbalanced among the eastern,central and western regions.Improving the equity of medical equipment allocation also needs to consider regional differences and characteristics according to local conditions.

Objective:To analyze the policy tools designed for function orientation and development of China′s infectious disease hospitals, in order to provide references for formulating and optimizing the functional implementation and sustainable development policies of these hospitals.Methods:Consulting the website of Peking University Law and official websites on health, and using such keywords as " medical institutions, infectious diseases, hospitals for infectious diseases, public health emergencies, specialized hospitals", and searching the national policy texts on the functions and development of infectious disease hospitals issued from December 1991 to January 2023. By means of Rothwell and Zegveld′s policy tool classification method, Nvivo 11 Pro software was used to analyze the text content from the dimensions of demand-type, supply-type, and environmental-type policy tools.Results:A total of 41 policy texts were included and 204 codes were obtained through text analysis. Of all the tools, environmental and supply-oriented policy tools were used the most, being 104 (50.99%) and 95 (46.56%) respectively, while demand-oriented policy tools were used the least, only 5 (2.45%). Of all the environmental-oriented policy tools, " goal planning" was the most used, being 34 (16.67%), while " publicity and guidance" was less used, only 4 (1.96%). Among the supply-oriented policy tools, " clarifying the reporting and handling service functions of public health emergencies" was the most widely used, being 34 (16.67%), while " Informationization" and " infrastructure construction" was less used, being 8 (3.92%) and 6 (2.94%) respectively. Few of the demand-oriented policy tools were in use, as " government purchase" and " medical insurance support" were both 2 (0.98% each), and " social medical care" was only 1 (0.49%).Conclusions:The distribution of three types of policy tools for function and development of infectious disease hospitals is unbalanced, the use of environmental and supply-oriented policy tools is excessive and internal structure is unbalanced. The proportion of environmental-oriented policy tools needs to be adjusted, and the frequency of use of supporting tools such as relevant standards, norms, incentives, supervision and publicity should be increased. Supply-oriented policies need to be further optimized, especially in terms of personnel training, funding, information technology and infrastructure construction. Demand-oriented policy tools are seriously underused and need to be further developed.

Objective To collect and summarize the opinions of experts on the improvement of China's disease prevention and control system published in the public media, so as to provide reference for the relevant construction planning of the government. Methods: Articles were collected from January to May, 2020, which were published on Chinese mainstream media. Based on the analysis of literature and the basic characteristics of experts, Analytic hierarchy process (AHP) was used to summarize the construction points of experts in different construction fields. Results: A total of 19 opinion articles were finally included in the study and 29 experts were involved. The suggestions of experts on the construction of China's disease prevention and control system were summarized into four aspects. Conclusion: The COVID-19 pandemic is a challenge to the existing public health epidemic prevention and control system in China, and also an important opportunity for the development and construction of the related system.

Objective:The existed economic evaluations of cancer screening in Chinese population are almost all single-cancer focused, evidence on parallel comparison among multiple cancers is lacking. Thus, the aim of this study was, from a priority setting perspective, to compare the cost-effectiveness of six common cancers(colorectal cancer, breast cancer, liver cancer, lung cancer, esophageal cancer and stomach cancer) to facilitate policy making in future scaled-up screening in populations in China.Methods:Partially based on our previous single-cancer systematic reviews (colorectal cancer, breast cancer, liver cancer, and lung cancer), evidence of economic evaluations of cancer screening in populations in mainland China were systematically updated and integrated. The main updates include: 1) Stomach cancer and esophageal cancer were newly added to the current analysis. 2) The literature searching was extended to 8 literature databases, including PubMed, EMbase, The Cochrane Library, Web of Science, CBM, CNKI, Wanfang Data, and VIP. 3) The period of publication year was updated to the recent 10 years: January 1, 2009 to December 31, 2018. 4) The study focused on populations in mainland China. Following the standard processes of literature searching, inclusion and exclusion from previous systematic reviews, the basic characteristics, evaluation indicators and main results of the included studies were extracted. All the costs were discounted to 2017 value using the by-year consumer price index of medical and health care residents in China and presented in the Chinese Yuan (CNY). The ratios of incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER) to China′s per capita GDP in 2017 were calculated (<1 means very cost-effective, 1-3 means cost-effective, >3 means not cost-effective). Given a specific indicator, the median value among all reported screening strategies for each cancer was calculated, based on which priority ranking was then conducted among all cancers when data available.Results:A total of 45 studies were included, 22 for breast cancer, 12 for colorectal cancer, 6 for stomach cancer, 4 for esophageal cancer (all conducted in high-risk areas), 1 for liver cancer and none for lung cancer (was not then considered for next ranking due to limited numbers of studies). When based on the indicator, the median ratio of cost per life-year saved to China′s per capita GDP (reported in 12 studies), the lowest ratio (-0.015) was observed in esophageal cancer among 16 strategies of 2 studies ( N=2, n=16), followed by 0.297 for colorectal cancer ( N=3, n=12), 0.356 for stomach cancer ( N=1, n=4) and 0.896 for breast cancer ( N=6, n=52, P75=3.602). When based on another commonly used ICER indicator, the median ratio of cost per quality-adjusted life-year gained to China′s per capita GDP (reported in 13 studies), the least cost was found in stomach cancer (0.495, N=3, n=8, P75=3.126), followed by esophageal cancer (0.960, N=1, n=4, P75=1.762) and breast cancer (2.056, N=9, n=64, P75=4.217). Data was not found for colorectal cancer. In addition, cost per cancer case detected was the most adopted indicator (32 studies). The median cost among all screening strategies for each cancer was 14 759 CNY for stomach cancer ( N=5, n=7), 49 680 CNY for colorectal cancer ( N=12, n=25) and 171 930 CNY for breast cancer ( N=13, n=24), respectively. Data was not available for esophageal cancer and rare for precancer cases detected. Evidence related to cost per disability-adjusted life-year gained was not available. Conclusions:At China′s national level and limited to the six cancers covered by the current study, the preliminary analysis suggests that stomach cancer and colorectal cancer were the most cost-effective target cancers and could be given priority in the future scaled-up screening in general populations. Esophageal cancer screening should be prioritized in high-risk areas. Breast cancer was also cost-effective in general but some of the intensive screening strategies were marginal. Data on liver cancer and lung cancer were too limited to conclude, and more well-designed studies and high-quality research evidence should be required. This priority ranking might be changed if other common cancers were involved analyses.
