Objective:To explore the health economic evaluation methods of disease screening,providing insights for scholars conducting related research.Methods:By integrating relevant content from modem epidemiology,health statistics,and health economics,it investigates the differences in conducting health economic evaluations of disease screening using authenticity indicators(sensitivity,specificity)and predictive value indicators(positive predictive value,negative predictive value),and combines empirical studies with cases from the literature.Results:Authenticity indicators(sensitivity,specificity)are intrinsic measures of diagnostic tests,unaffected by the disease prevalence in the sample population,making them more suitable for conducting health economic evaluations of disease screening.Moreover,authenticity indicators are easy to obtain,and the model calculations are straightforward and convenient.Case study results demonstrate that compared to risk score screening,the Incremental Cost-Effectiveness Ratio(ICER)of fasting plasma glucose(FPG)testing for type 2 diabetes is 626,indicating that for every additional diabetic patient identified through risk score screening,an extra 626 yuan is spent.Conclusion:It is recommended to use authenticity indicators for conducting health economic evaluations of disease screening,standardize the path methods for model selection,and continuously improve the evidence quality of health economic evaluations of disease screening in China.

The Journal of Clinical Anesthesiology 2024;40(11):1156-1160
Objective To investigate the effective interval of programmed intermittent epidural bolus(PIEB)in labor analgesia with ropivacaine and hydromorphone.Methods A total of 101 puerpera with singleton pregnancy,head position,aged 20-40 years,BMI 20-35 kg/m2,ASA physical status Ⅰ orⅡ,gestational age 37-42 weeks,were randomly allocated into five different PIEB intervals groups:PIEB 40 minutes group(group P40,n=20),PIEB 50 minutes group(group P50,n=19),PIEB 60 minutes group(group P60,n=20),PIEB 70 minutes group(group P70,n=20),and PIEB 80 minutes group(group P80,n=22).The PIEB dose was fixed at 10 ml with the first bolus given 1 hour after the initial manual loading dose with subsequent boluses continued at intervals according to different group allocation.Analgesia was provided using PIEB with 0.1%ropivacaine combined with hydromorphone 15 μg/ml for a total of 12 ml.Based on effective analgesia rate(proportion of women who do not require additional analgesic drugs by the end of the first stage of labor).Probit regression was used to estimate median effective interval(EI50)and 90%effective interval(EI90).VAS pain scores before analgesia,20 minutes,1 hour,2,3,and 4 hours,at full opening of the cervix were recorded.The highest level of sensory blockade and motor blockade(modified Bromage score)were recorded,maternal adverse effects were recorded.Neonatal weight,1 minute and 5 minutes postnatal Apgar scores were recorded.Results Effective analgesia rates were 95.0%,84.2%,70.0%,55.0%,and 50.0%in groups P40,P50,P60,P70,and P80,respec-tively.The EI50 and EI90 were 76.5 minutes(95%CI 69.0-93.9 minutes)and 43.4 minutes(95%CI 17.6-52.7 minutes)analysing by Probit regression.There were no significant differences in VAS pain score at different time,maximum sensory block plane,modified Bromage score,incidence of maternal adverse re-actions and neonatal conditions between the two groups.Conclusion The EI50 and EI90 of PIEB 0.1%ropiv-acaine combined with hydromorphone 15 μg/ml for labor analgesia were 76.5 minutes(95%CI 69.0-93.9 minutes)and 43.4 minutes(95%CI 17.6-52.7 minutes),respectively.

Objective To investigate the effectiveness of a movable(with the distance between the temporal scalp and the detector being adjustable)array of optically pumped magnetometers for magnetoencephalography(OPM-MEG)in capturing auditory evoked response signals in healthy subjects living at low altitudes,and to provide a useful technical reference for subsequent exploration of the changes in brain functions in populations living at high altitudes on a long-term basis.Methods Forty healthy subjects living at a low altitude(470 m above sea level)were recruited.The distance between the scalp and the bilateral temporal lobe detector was adjusted,and the subjects'auditory responses in the temporal lobes were recorded at the distances of 0 mm,5 mm,10 mm,and 15 mm.For the different distances,the M100 peak signal strength,noise,signal-to-noise ratio(SNR),and latency were analyzed along with the corresponding auditory source localization maps.A single-factor analysis of variance was conducted to compare the differences in response signals at varying distances.Results As the distance between the scalp and the detector increased,the noise,the signal,and the SNR gradually weakened(P<0.001).The noise and signal showed a tendency of linear decline.On the other hand,the SNR reached its maximum at 5 mm and did not show a tendency of linear decline.Latency was not affected by the distance(P=0.72).The results of the auditory stimulus source reconstruction were generally consistent.Conclusion When the distance between the detector and the scalp is 5 mm,the SNR value is the highest,resulting in high sensitivity and high signal strength.On the other hand,even when the distance between the detector and the scalp reaches 15 mm,the SNR of the OPM-MEG is still higher than 16 dB,which meets the clinical signal acquisition requirements.Furthermore,the auditory stimulus source reconstruction results were generally consistent.Changing the scalp-to-detector distance does not affect the applicability of the source localization results,validating the device's effectiveness in signal acquisition.
