OBJECTIVE To evaluate the cost-effectiveness of cefiderocol versus best available therapy (BAT) or standard-of- care (SOC) for the treatment of confirmed or suspected carbapenem-resistant Gram-negative bacterial (CRGNB) serious infections from the perspective of the Chinese healthcare system, and to explore its reasonable pricing. METHODS A decision tree model was constructed based on data from two phase Ⅲ clinical trials (CREDIBLE-CR and GAME CHANGER) to simulate the cost- effectiveness of cefiderocol in two scenarios: salvage therapy for confirmed CRGNB infection (scenario 1) and empirical therapy for suspected CRGNB infection (scenario 2). The primary outcome measure was the incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER). The willingness-to-pay (WTP) was set at 1 to 3 times China’s per capita GDP in 2024. To verify the robustness of the results, one- way and probabilistic sensitivity analyses were conducted, and based on these, a reasonable price range for cefiderocol in the Chinese market was explored. RESULTS The results for scenario 1 showed that the clinical cure rate in the cefiderocol group was higher than that in the BAT group (47.50% vs. 34.21%), but its ICER was 415 065.03 yuan per cured case, exceeding three times China’s GDP per capita. Scenario 2 revealed that the ICER for cefiderocol relative to SOC was as high as 1 362 446.16 yuan per cured case, far exceeding the WTP. Sensitivity analysis indicated that the treatment duration and price of cefiderocol were key factors affecting its cost-effectiveness. In the two scenarios described above, the unit price of cefiderocol must fall below 683.47 and 242.00 yuan/g, respectively, to be considered cost-effective. CONCLUSIONS Based on the current market price, cefiderocol lacks sufficient cost-effectiveness for treating confirmed or suspected CRGNB serious infections within China’s healthcare system. To improve its accessibility, price negotiations or a tiered medical insurance payment strategy are required.

Objective:To explore the influencing factors of self-management of first-treatment pulmonary tuberculosis patients based on the random forest model, and to provide a theoretical basis for clinical staff to improve the self-management of pulmonary tuberculosis patients by providing efficient, high-quality, and individualized interventions.Methods:A cross-sectional study was used to select pulmonary tuberculosis patients who were hospitalized in the Department of Respiratory Medicine of the Fourth People′s Hospital of the Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region and who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria from December 2023 to February 2024 by using the convenience sampling method as the study subjects. General information questionnaire, Chronic Disease Patients′ Self-health Management Ability Assessment Scale, Perceived Social Support Scale, Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, and a tuberculosis prevention and treatment knowledge questionnaire were used to conduct the survey, and Spearman′s correlation was used to analyze the correlation between variables, and multivariate linear regression and a random forest model were used to analyze the influencing factors of self-management.Results:A total of 204 first-treatment pulmonary tuberculosis patients, 111 males and 93 females, 64 patients aged 18-44 years, 59 patients aged 45-59 years, and 81 patients ≥60 years were finally investigated. The total self-management score of tuberculosis patients was 162.00 (148.00, 176.75), and the total self-management score was positively correlated with the total perceived social support score, family support, friend support, and other support, respectively ( r values were 0.307-0.400, all P<0.01), negatively correlated with the anxiety and depression scores, respectively ( r=-0.195, -0.313, both P<0.01), and positively correlated with the total score of knowledge of tuberculosis control ( r=0.257, P<0.01); the results of multiple linear stepwise regression analysis showed that literacy, family support, other support, anxiety, and knowledge of tuberculosis control were the influencing factors of self-management ability ( t values were -2.89-2.98, all P<0.05), which explained a total of 23.1% of the total variance; and the random forest model ranked the importance of the influencing factors in the order of high to low were other support, family support, knowledge of tuberculosis control, literacy, and anxiety. Conclusions:The self-management of first-treatment pulmonary tuberculosis patients is at an intermediate level, In order to improve the self-management ability of first-treatment pulmonary tuberculosis patients, clinical personnel should establish a "patient-centered" self-management education concept, pay attention to the construction of their social support system, provide adequate, continuous, individualized knowledge education and information support, promote their psychological health, and reduce their negative emotions.

Objective:To analyze whether there are differences in reproductive outcomes between preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidies (PGT-A) and conventional in vitro fertilization/intracytoplasmic sperm injection and embryo transfer (IVF/ICSI-ET) in patients with recurrent spontaneous abortion (RSA). Methods:A retrospective cohort study was conducted at the Reproductive Center of Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hospital, Sun Yat-sen University, including RSA patients who underwent assisted reproductive technology (ART) between January 2018 and June 2023. Patients were categorized into two groups based on the type of ART, the PGT-A group (78 patients, 100 embryo transfer cycles) and the IVF/ICSI group (95 patients, 105 embryo transfer cycles). Multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to compare the impact of these two techniques on reproductive outcomes. Further analysis was conducted to evaluate the effects of maternal age, number of miscarriages, and previous chromosomal abnormalities in miscarried embryos on pregnancy outcomes. The primary outcome measure was the live birth rate, while secondary outcomes included the pregnancy rate and the miscarriage rate.Results:The live birth rate in the PGT-A group [50.0% (50/100)] was higher than that in the IVF/ICSI group [37.1% (39/105)], while the miscarriage rate [20.6% (13/63)] was lower than that in the IVF/ICSI group [39.1% (25/64)], with both differences being statistically significant ( P=0.043, P=0.023). Among RSA patients aged 37-45 years with ≥3 miscarriages, the miscarriage rate in the PGT-A group (0%) was significantly lower than that in the IVF/ICSI group [46.2%(6/13), P=0.017], whereas the differences in live birth rate and pregnancy rate between the two groups were not statistically significant (all P>0.05). For RSA patients with previous chromosomal abnormalities in miscarried embryos, the miscarriage rate in the PGT-A group [21.1% (12/57)] was significantly lower than that in the IVF/ICSI group [71.4% (5/7), P=0.012]. Additionally, the pregnancy rate [66.3% (57/86)] and the live birth rate [52.3% (45/86)] in the PGT-A group were significantly higher than those in the IVF/ICSI group [33.3% (7/21), P=0.006; 9.5% (2/21), P<0.001]. Among 37-45 years patients, the miscarriage rate in the PGT-A group [5.9% (1/17)] was significantly lower than that in the IVF/ICSI group [38.7% (12/31), P=0.035], and the live birth rate [57.1% (16/28)] was significantly higher than that in the IVF/ICSI group [31.7% (19/60), P=0.023]. These differences were statistically significant. Conclusion:Compared with conventional IVF/ICSI-assisted reproduction, the use of PGT-A in RSA patients younger than 37 years, with or without a history of chromosomally normal miscarried embryos, did not significantly improve reproductive outcomes, regardless of whether they had experienced more than three miscarriages. However, for RSA patients with chromosomal abnormalities in miscarried embryos, PGT-A significantly reduced the miscarriage rate across the age range of 26-45 years. In RSA patients aged 37-45 years, PGT-A significantly improved reproductive outcomes. However, for patients with two miscarriages and a history of chromosomally normal miscarried embryos, the therapeutic benefit of PGT-A was limited.
