To analyze the ethnic differences in the genotype distribution of thalassemia between the Han and Li ethnic groups in the Qiongnan region (southern Hainan). A cross-sectional study employing a stratified multistage sampling method was conducted from January 2019 to December 2023. A total of 4 493 high-risk individuals (2 734 Han and 1 759 Li) from southern Hainan (including Sanya, Ledong, Baoting, Lingshui, and other counties) underwent thalassemia genetic testing. The genotype distribution was statistically analyzed. Inter-group comparisons were performed using χ2 test or Fisher′s exact test. The results showed an overall thalassemia positivity rate of 66.70% (2 997/4 493), with carrier, intermediate and major thalassemia rates of 62.01% (2 786/4 493), 3.98% (179/4 493) and 0.71% (32/4 493), respectively. The positivity rates for thalassemia were 87.83% (1 545/1 759) in the Li ethnic group and 53.11% (1 452/2 734) in the Han ethnic group. Among them, the Li ethnic group exhibited significantly higher positivity rates for α-thalassemia (71.12% vs. 40.64%, χ2=398.90, P<0.001) and α/β-compound thalassemia (13.36% vs. 3.33%, χ2=160.06, P<0.001) compared to the Han ethnic group, whereas the Han ethnic group had a higher β-thalassemia rate (9.14% vs. 3.35%, χ2=56.03, P<0.001). Both ethnic groups shared common α-thalassemia alleles (-α 3.7 and -α 4.2), but the -- SEA allele proportion was significantly higher in Han (21.33% vs. 4.34%, χ2=231.45, P<0.001). Six rare -α 21.9 mutations (0.26%) were exclusively identified in the Li ethnic group, whereas none were found in Han. For β-thalassemia, the β CD41-42 allele was predominant in Li (96.60% vs. 71.01%, χ2=77.24, P<0.001), whereas other alleles (β IVS-II-654, β CD71-72, β CD17, and β -28) were more prevalent in Han (11.01%, 6.96%, 4.64%, and 3.19% vs. 1.54%, 0.00%, 0.31%, and 0.62%, respectively),all P<0.05. In conclusion, distinct ethnic disparities in thalassemia genotype distribution are observed in southern Hainan. The Li ethnic group is predominantly characterized by α-thalassemia and α/β-compound genotypes with a predominant β CD41-42 mutation. In contrast, the Han ethnic group displays higher -- SEA proportion and heterogeneous β-thalassemia genotypes.

Objective To explore predictive factors of severe community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) complicated with respiratory failure (RF) and to develop and internally validate a clinical prediction model. Methods A retrospective study was conducted on 350 patients with severe CAP admitted to Tianyou Hospital Affiliated to Wuhan University of Science and Technology from September 2022 to December 2024. Patients were randomly divided into a training set (n=245) and a validation set (n=105) in a 7∶3 ratio, and further categorized into RF and non-RF groups. LASSO regression was applied to optimize variable selection. Multivariate logistic analysis was used to construct the prediction model, followed by internal validation. Results Univariate regression analysis identified male, hypertension, diabetes, coronary heart disease, age, CURB-65 score, white blood cell count, neutrophil count, C-reactive protein (CRP), serum amyloid A, procalcitonin, and hospital stay as risk factors for RF in severe CAP, while albumin level was a protective factor. LASSO regression selected CURB-65 score, albumin level, and CRP for inclusion in the final model. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve was 0.903 in the training set and 0.919 in the validation set. Calibration curve analysis demonstrated excellent agreement between predicted and observed probabilities in both sets, and Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness-of-fit tests indicated no significant deviations. Threshold probabilities ranged from 0.01 to 0.99 in both training and validation sets. Conclusions CURB-65 score, albumin level, and CRP are independent predictors of RF in severe CAP. The clinical prediction model based on these factors exhibits strong discrimination, calibration, goodness-of-fit, and clinical utility.
