Objective:
To analyze the prevalence status and clustering patterns of risk factors for chronic diseases among adult residents in Rui' an City, Zhejiang Province, so as to provide a basis for formulating strategies for the prevention and control of chronic diseases and implementing risk factor interventions.
Methods:
A multi-stage random cluster sampling method was used to select residents aged ≥18 years in 5 townships (sub-districts) of Rui' an City as survey subjects from December 2023 to March 2024. Data on basic information, history of major chronic diseases, lifestyle behaviors, height, weight, and blood biochemical indicators were collected through questionnaire surveys, physical examinations, and laboratory tests. Descriptive analysis was used to analyze the prevalence status of 5 risk factors for chronic diseases. K-means clustering analysis was used to analyze clustering patterns.
Results:
A total of 3 060 people were surveyed, including 1 476 males, accounting for 48.24%, and 1 584 females, accounting for 51.76%. The median age was 49.00 (interquartile range, 25.00) years. There were 1 275 cases (41.67%) of hypertension, 462 cases (15.10%) of diabetes, and 1 460 cases (47.71%) of dyslipidemia. Insufficient fruit and vegetable intake, excessive salt intake, overweight and obesity, excessive red meat intake, and smoking involved 2 201, 1 878, 1 541, 1 337, and 571 people, with prevalences of 71.93%, 61.37%, 50.36%, 43.69%, and 18.66%, respectively. K-means clustering analysis identified 4 clustering patterns: smoking-insufficient fruit and vegetable intake type (249 people, accounting for 8.20%), low intake type (1 421 people, accounting for 46.75%). high red meat type (245 people, accounting for 8.07%), and high BMI-high salt type (1 118 people, accounting for 36.96%). The prevalences of hypertension and diabetes were higher in adult residents of the high BMI-high salt type, at 56.53% and 20.30%, respectively. The prevalence of dyslipidemia was higher in adult residents of the smoking-insufficient fruit and vegetable intake type, at 59.44%.
Conclusions
The prevalence of insufficient fruit and vegetable intake among adult residents in Rui' an City is relatively high. The clustering pattern of chronic disease risk factors is dominated by the low intake type. The prevalence of chronic diseases is higher in adult residents of the high BMI-high salt type and smoking-insufficient fruit and vegetable intake type. It is suggested to carry out health education and collaborative intervention of risk factors for different risk groups.

ObjectiveTo investigate the current awareness and optimization recommendations on pneumonia with unknown etiology (PUE) surveillance among Shanghai healthcare professionals, and to provide evidence for the improvement of the surveillance system. MethodsIn December 2024, healthcare professional participants from diverse medical and health institutions were randomly selected within each stratum using a stratified cluster sampling method in all 16 districts of Shanghai for questionnaire surveys on their knowledge and suggestions for optimization of the PUE surveillance system. Descriptive statistics analyses, multivariate logistic regressions, and content analyses were used for data analyses. ResultsA total of 385 survey subjects were involved in the study, including 119 professional staffs from disease prevention and control centers and 266 from medical institutions. Those who understood the case definition for PUE correctly accounted for 67.01% (258/385). Multivariate regression model analyses showed that female gender (aOR=2.22, 95%CI: 1.36‒3.66), professionals from disease control institutions (aOR=2.02, 95%CI: 1.12‒3.72), and those who self-assessed as being familiar with the monitoring system (aOR=2.18, 95%CI:1.23‒3.89) had better understanding of the definition. Overall, 89.61% (345/385) of the survey subjects acknowledged the necessity of the surveillance system. Small number of cases meeting the case definition (54.46%, 214/379), insufficient diagnostic awareness (39.84%, 151/379), and lack of incentives for case reporting (29.29%, 111/379) were major problems for the current surveillance system, with variations observed across different types of institutions. Suggested segments for optimizing the surveillance system included monitoring purpose, case definition, form of monitoring and reporting procedure, organization mechanism, and epidemiological investigation and response. ConclusionThe necessity of PUE surveillance is commonly recognized among healthcare workers. However, the existing system falls short in terms of mastery of case definition and overall surveillance adaptability. There is an urgent need for optimization and improvement to enhance the capacity for preventing and controlling emerging and sudden respiratory infectious diseases.

ObjectiveTo explore the data standard system of electronic medical records in the field of rehabilitation, focusing on the terminology and coding standards, data structure, and key content categories of rehabilitation electronic medical records. MethodsBased on the Administrative Norms for the Application of Electronic Medical Records issued by the National Health Commission of China, the electronic medical record standard architecture issued by the International Organization for Standardization and Health Level Seven (HL7), the framework of the World Health Organization Family of International Classifications (WHO-FICs), Basic Architecture and Data Standards of Electronic Medical Records, Basic Data Set of Electronic Medical Records, and Specifications for Sharing Documents of Electronic Medical Records, the study constructed and organized the data structure, content, and data standards of rehabilitation electronic medical records. ResultsThe data structure of rehabilitation electronic medical records should strictly follow the structure of electronic medical records, including four levels (clinical document, document section, data set and data element) and four major content areas (basic information, diagnostic information, intervention information and cost information). Rehabilitation electronic medical records further integrated information related to rehabilitation needs and characteristics, emphasizing rehabilitation treatment, into clinical information. By fully applying the WHO-FICs reference classifications, rehabilitation electronic medical records could establish a standardized framework, diagnostic criteria, functional description tools, coding tools and terminology index tools for the coding, indexing, functional description, and analysis and interpretation of diseases and health problems. The study elaborated on the data structure and content categories of rehabilitation electronic medical records in four major categories, refined the granularity of reporting rehabilitation content in electronic medical records, and provided detailed data reporting guidance for rehabilitation electronic medical records. ConclusionThe standardization of rehabilitation electronic medical records is significant for improving the quality of rehabilitation medical services and promoting the rehabilitation process of patients. The development of rehabilitation electronic medical records must be based on the national and international standards. Under the general electronic medical records data structure and standards, a rehabilitation electronic medical records data system should be constructed which incorporates core data such as disease diagnosis, functional description and assessment, and rehabilitation interventions. The standardized rehabilitation electronic medical records scheme constructed in this study can support the improvement of standardization of rehabilitation electronic medical records data information.

Objective:To evaluate the effects of a reduced-positioning restrictions nursing program on postoperative recovery, sleep quality, self-care ability, and hip joint function in patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty (THA), providing a reference for postoperative positioning management.Methods:A randomized controlled trial was conducted, and 140 THA patients admitted to Zhejiang Provincial People′s Hospital from January 2022 to June 2023 were selected using convenience sampling. They were divided into a control group (70 cases) and an observation group (70 cases) using a random number table. The control group received conventional rehabilitation care, while the observation group received a reduced-positioning restrictions nursing program in addition to the conventional care. The incidence of dislocation at 3 months postoperatively, the activities of daily living, the hip joint function recovery at 1 month and 3 months postoperatively, the sleep quality at 1 month postoperatively were compared between the two groups.Results:Finally 63 cases in the control group and 64 cases in the observation group completed the study. The control group included 25 males and 38 females, with an average age of (65.44 ± 10.97) years, while the observation group included 28 males and 36 females, with an average age of (65.13 ± 12.18) years. At 3 months postoperatively, there was no significant difference in the dislocation rate between the control group and the observation group ( P>0.05). At 1 month and 3 months postoperatively, the scores of activities of daily living in the observation group were (77.89 ± 6.71) and (93.52 ± 6.59) points respectively, which were higher than those in the control group [(69.68 ± 5.53) and (87.38 ± 7.72) points], the differences were statistically significant ( t=5.38, 6.96, both P<0.05), the time, interaction and inter-group effects were all statistically significant ( F=33.93, 10.81, 876.91, all P<0.05). At 1 month postoperatively, the excellent and good rate of hip joint function score grade in the observation group was 73.44% (47/64), which was higher than 41.27% (26/63) in the control group, the difference was statistically significant ( Z=-3.67, P<0.05), there was no statistically significant difference between the two groups at 3 months postoperatively ( P>0.05). At 1 month after the operation, the excellent and good rate of sleep quality score grades in the observation group was 81.25% (52/64), which was higher than 57.14% (36/63) in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant ( Z=-3.00, P<0.05). Conclusions:Incorporating a reduced-positioning restrictions nursing program into the perioperative management of THA does not increase the risk of prosthesis dislocation. This approach enhances patient comfort, improves sleep quality, increases self-care ability, and supports the recovery of hip joint function.
