Objective:To evaluate the diagnostic efficacy and practicality of the Jaundice color card (JCard) as a screening tool for neonatal jaundice.Methods:Following the standards for reporting of diagnostic accuracy studies (STARD) statement, a multicenter prospective study was conducted in 9 hospitals in China from October 2019 to September 2021. A total of 845 newborns who were admitted to the hospital or outpatient department for liver function testing due to their own diseases. The inclusion criteria were a gestational age of ≥35 weeks, a birth weight of ≥2 000 g, and an age of ≤28 days. The neonate′s parents used the JCard to measure jaundice at the neonate′s cheek. Within 2 hours of the JCard measurement, transcutaneous bilirubin (TcB) was measured with a JH20-1B device and total serum bilirubin (TSB) was detected. The Pearson′s correlation analysis, Bland-Altman plots and the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve were used for statistic analysis.Results:Out of the 854 newborns, 445 were male and 409 were female; 46 were born at 35-36 weeks of gestational age and 808 were born at ≥37 weeks of gestational age. Additionally, 432 cases were aged 0-3 days, 236 cases were aged 4-7 days, and 186 cases were aged 8-28 days. The TSB level was (227.4±89.6) μmol/L, with a range of 23.7-717.0 μmol/L. The JCard level was (221.4±77.0) μmol/L and the TcB level was (252.5±76.0) μmol/L. Both the JCard and TcB values showed good correlation ( r=0.77 and 0.80, respectively) and agreements (96.0% (820/854) and 95.2% (813/854) of samples fell within the 95% limits of agreement, respectively) with TSB. The JCard value of 12 had a sensitivity of 0.93 and specificity of 0.75 for identifying a TSB ≥205.2?μmol/L, and a sensitivity of 1.00 and specificity of 0.35 for identifying a TSB ≥342.0?μmol/L. The TcB value of 205.2?μmol/L had a sensitivity of 0.97 and specificity of 0.60 for identifying TSB levels of 205.2 μmol/L, and a sensitivity of 1.00 and specificity of 0.26 for identifying TSB levels of 342.0 μmol/L. The areas under the ROC curve (AUC) of JCard for identifying TSB levels of 153.9, 205.2, 256.5, and 342.0 μmol/L were 0.96, 0.92, 0.83, and 0.83, respectively. The AUC of TcB were 0.94, 0.91, 0.86, and 0.87, respectively. There were both no significant differences between the AUC of JCard and TcB in identifying TSB levels of 153.9 and 205.2 μmol/L (both P>0.05). However, the AUC of JCard were both lower than those of TcB in identifying TSB levels of 256.5 and 342.0 μmol/L (both P<0.05). Conclusions:JCard can be used to classify different levels of bilirubin, but its diagnostic efficacy decreases with increasing bilirubin levels. When TSB level are ≤205.2 μmol/L, its diagnostic efficacy is equivalent to that of the JH20-1B. To prevent the misdiagnosis of severe jaundice, it is recommended that parents use a low JCard score, such as 12, to identify severe hyperbilirubinemia (TSB ≥342.0 μmol/L).

Objective:To analyze the clinical symptoms and laboratory characteristics of patients with brucellosis combined with osteoarthritis.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on the medical records of 168 patients with brucellosis who were hospitalized at the Jining Public Health Medical Center, Shandong Province from January 2021 to December 2022. Based on the imaging examination results, they were divided into combined osteoarthritis group and non combined osteoarthritis group. The demographic characteristics, clinical symptoms, and laboratory test results of the two groups of patients were compared and analyzed.Results:Among 168 patients with brucellosis, there were 83 patients with concurrent osteoarthritis, 85 patients without concurrent osteoarthritis, the males and females ratio was 2.73 ∶ 1.00 (123 ∶ 45), and the age was 56 (46, 64) years old. The median age of patients in combined osteoarthritis group was higher than that of patients in non combined osteoarthritis group (58 years vs 53 years, Z = - 2.89, P = 0.004). In clinical symptoms, the incidence of back pain, fatigue, and joint muscle pain in patients of combined osteoarthritis group was significantly higher than that in the non combined osteoarthritis group [75.9% (63/83) vs 56.5% (48/85), 30.1% (25/83) vs 15.3% (13/85), 47.0% (39/83) vs 17.6% (15/85), χ 2 = 7.07, 5.27, 16.58, P < 0.05]. In laboratory tests, the erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) and hypersensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) levels in patients of combined osteoarthritis group were higher than those in the non combined osteoarthritis group [27.0 (17.0, 34.0) mm/h vs 21.0 (10.5, 34.0) mm/h, 22.7 (14.3, 43.4) mg/L vs 17.9 (10.8, 34.2) mg/L, Z = - 2.51, - 2.00, P < 0.05]. Among patients with combined osteoarthritis, combined spondylitis accounted for the highest proportion (55.4%, 46/83), followed by peripheral arthritis (51.8%, 43/83). Conclusion:Osteoarthritis is a common complication of brucellosis, and patients of brucellosis with concurrent osteoarthritis have clinical features such as lower back pain, fatigue, and joint muscle pain, with significantly elevated of ESR and hs-CRP level.

Objective:To explore the effectiveness of the comprehensive healthcare management model for children with bacterial meningitis after discharge.Methods:This study was a retrospective cohort study that included 268 children with bacterial meningitis who were discharged from the infectious medicine ward of Beijing Children′s Hospital from September 2018 to September 2023. The children were managed with a multidisciplinary collaborative comprehensive healthcare management model after discharge. Outpatient data at 1 month and 6, 12 and 24 months after discharge were collected, including (height, weight, body mass index, nutritional feeding status, hearing and vision screening results, Gesell developmental assessment results and intervention guidance services. The follow-up interval or frequency was dynamically adjusted or increased according to the child′s situation. The paired sample t-test and chi square test were applied to compare the differences in Gesell developmental quotient (DQ) and developmental delay rate between the first and last assessments to preliminarily explore the effectiveness of the comprehensive healthcare management model for children with bacterial meningitis after discharge. Results:All the 268 children completed their first assessment one month after discharge, and 37 children were found to have abnormal physical growth, mainly obesity (28 children), and another 9 children were malnutrition. Nutritional intervention and feeding guidance services were provided to all the 37 children, and as of the last follow-up, 20 children′s physical growth evaluations had turned normal. A total of 188 children completed at least 2 developmental assessments, with an interval of (14.2±9.4) months between the first and last assessments (range: 3.1-49.5 months). The DQ values of in the energy region of adaptability, gross motor skills, fine motor skills, language, and personal social skills at the last assessment were significantly higher than those at the first assessment [(91.93±13.28) vs (80.73±15.96) points, (91.69±12.96) vs (78.31±16.58) points, (89.32±16.11) vs (80.68±15.63) points, (90.10±16.65) vs (82.04±18.43) points, (92.01±14.05) vs (77.82±17.42) points]; moreover, the rates of developmental delay in each energy region were significantly lower than those at the initial assessment (9.6% vs 35.1%, 9.6% vs 42.0%, 18.1% vs 33.0%, 13.3% vs 31.9%, 9.6% vs 42.0%) (all P<0.05). Among the 200 children who completed the hearing screening, 18 were found with hearing abnormalities, and 2 were diagnosed with hearing loss in the Otolaryngology Department. Among 217 children who completed vision screening, 23 had abnormalities, and 5 were diagnosed with ophthalmic abnormalities in Ophthalmology Department (2 with strabismus, 2 with refractive errors, and 1 with optic nerve injury). Two children were found to have autism-like behavior during monitoring, and were referred to a developmental behavior clinic to be diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder and were given early diagnosis and intervention guidance. Conclusion:The comprehensive healthcare management model for children with bacterial meningitis after discharge can integrate clinical and healthcare resources, which is beneficial for improving the prognosis and enhancing the quality of life for children with special health status.

Objective:To understand the symptom clusters and quality of life of patients with laryngeal cancer at different times, and to explore the correlation between the two.Methods:From June 2020 to June 2021, convenience sampling was used to select 155 laryngeal cancer patients with operation in the Head and Neck Thyroid Surgery of Affiliated Cancer Hospital of Zhengzhou University as the research object. The General Information Questionnaire, the Chinese version of Anderson Symptom Inventory-Head and Neck, and Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy Generic Scale (FACT-G) were used to investigate on the day of admission, 3 days after operation, and 30 days after operation. Symptom clusters were extracted using exploratory factor analysis. Spearman correlation analysis was used to analyze the correlation between the severity of symptom clusters and quality of life in patients with laryngeal cancer.Results:A total of 4 symptom clusters were extracted, namely pain-gastrointestinal symptom cluster, fatigue-sleep-mood symptom cluster, laryngeal cancer-specific symptom cluster, and vocalization-dysphagia symptom cluster. The number and composition of symptom clusters were different on the day of admission, 3 days after operation and 30 days after operation. There were statistically significant differences in FACT-G scores on the day of admission, 3 days after operation and 30 days after operation in patients with laryngeal cancer ( P<0.01) . The FACT-G total score and physiological dimension score on the day of admission, 3 days after operation and30 days after operation of laryngeal cancer patients were negatively correlated with the severity of different symptom clusters ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:The number and composition of symptom clusters in patients with laryngeal cancer at different times are different. The more severe the symptom clusters, the worse the quality of life. Medical and nursing staff should manage patients' symptom clusters to improve the quality of life.

Objective:To construct an inter-hospital standardized transport scheme for patients supported by extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) combined with modified early warning score (MEWS) and the transport checklist based on the theory of process reengineering.Methods:Through literature review, according to the actual situation of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University, the MEWS scores and transport verification sheets were effectively combined to construct the inter-hospital standardized transport scheme for patients supported by extracorporeal membrane oxygenation.

The incidence of transport adverse events in the observation group was lower than that in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:The standardized inter-hospital transport scheme for ECMO patients can form an efficient and safe standardized transport process, reduce the incidence of adverse transport events and improve the transport safety of ECMO patients.

【Objective】 To investigate the status quo and existing problems of quality control laboratory of blood stations in Hebei province, and to provide reference for the capacity building of quality control laboratory in the future. 【Methods】 The data of routine blood collection and supply, blood component preparation, blood sampling ratio/frequency, and sampling results among 12 blood stations in Hebei in 2020 were collected. The monitoring effect of blood component quality in Hebei province, combined with the indicator changes of main blood components, were analyzed. 【Results】 Blood component preparation from blood stations in Hebei are different. The requirements for the number and frequency of routine sampling in each apartment are not standardized, and retrospective analysis was not conducted basically. Although the frequency and sampling of blood component quality monitoring can meet the minimum requirements of the Quality Monitoring Guidelines of Whole Blood and Blood Components 2017 and Technical Operating Regulations of Blood Stations (2019 Edition), but does not match the actual collection and preparation units. The qualification rate and reliability are unstable due to the small sample size. Monthly quality inspection can result in judgment errors, which is not conducive to systematic analysis and continuous improvement of blood collection and supply process. 【Conclusion】 In the context of continuous enhancement of blood collection and supply standardization in Hebei Province, the blood quality monitoring mechanism based on intra-province consistency can be further studied to standardize intra-province homogenization of blood quality monitoring in multiple links including sampling rules, statistical analysis and data comparison calibers.
