This study analyzed the outcome index and related design elements of randomized controlled trials （RCTs） of traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） in the treatment of children with tic disorder （TD） in the past ten years， so as to provide a basis for the construction of the core index set of TCM in the treatment of children with TD. Eight databases were searched， including four English databases （PubMed， Web of Science， Embase， and Cochrane Library） and four Chinese databases， including China National Knowledge Infrastructure （CNKI）， Wanfang Database， VIP Database， and China Biology Medicine disc （CBMdisc）， as well as ClinicalTrials.gov and China Clinical Trial Registry. The search time was limited to from January 1， 2013 to October 29， 2023. RCTs on the TD in children treated with TCM were collected. Two researchers independently conducted literature screening， data extraction， and literature quality evaluation and summarized clinical outcome indexes and related trial design elements through qualitative analysis. A total of 67 RCTs were included， including 63 outcome indexes， with a total frequency of 348 times. The related outcome indexes could be divided into six categories： 12 symptom/sign indexes with a frequency of 134 （38.5%）， seven TCM symptom/syndrome indexes with a frequency of 31 （8.9%）， 33 physical and chemical examination indexes with a frequency of 97 （27.9%）， four safety indexes with a frequency of 67 （19.3%）， three long-term prognostic indexes with a frequency of 14 （4.0%）， and one kind of quality-of-life evaluation index （0.3%）. Currently， the RCTs research design of TCM in the treatment of TD in children has not yet formed a unified standard， and there are many problems in the quality of methodology， which reduces the authenticity and reliability of clinical conclusions. There are problems with clinical outcome indexes， such as significant quantity differences， unclear primary and secondary outcome indexes， unreasonable alternative indexes， non-standard TCM syndrome types and TCM evaluation indexes， lack of economic evaluation indexes， and less attention to long-term prognostic indexes and safety indexes. It is suggested that the researchers should design a more rigorous trial scheme and reasonably design the outcome index which is in line with the clinical trial efficacy evaluation of TCM， so as to construct the core index set with the characteristics of TCM for the treatment TD in children.

Objective To investigate the diagnostic value of echocardiography combined with three-dimensional speckle tracking imaging(3D-STI)for cardiac amyloidosis(CA)and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy(HCM).Methods Thirty-six patients with CA(CA group)and 36 patients with HCM(HCM group)who were treated at Zhengzhou Central Hospital affiliated to Zhengzhou University from September 2019 to September 2023 were selected as the research subjects.In addition,36 healthy individuals who did health check-ups at Zhengzhou Central Hospital affiliated to Zhengzhou University were selected as a control group.All patients in the three groups were tested using Doppler echocardiography to measure echocardiographic parameters[left ventricular ejection fraction(LVEF),left atrial volume index(LAVI),early diastolic mitral flow velocity/early diastolic mitral annulus velocity(E/e'),maximum left ventricular wall thickness(MLVWT),interventricular septum thickness(IVS),left ventricular end-systolic diameter(LVSED),left ventricular end-diastolic diameter(LVEDD)]and 3D-STI parameters[left ventricular three-dimensional global circumferential strain(GCS),global radial strain(GRS),global longitudinal strain(GLS),global area strain(GAS),and standard deviation of systolic peak time-GLS(Ts-SD-GLS)].The diagnostic value of each parameter for CA and HCM was analyzed using a receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve.Results Compared with the control group,LVEF decreased,while LAVI,E/e',MLVWT,IVS,LVSED,and the proportion of patients with enlarged left atrium increased in the CA group and HCM group(P＜0.05).The proportions of patients with enlarged left atrium,enlarged atria,and pericardial effusion in the CA group were significantly higher than those in the control group,while the LVEDD was significantly lower than that in the control group(P＜0.05).LVEF,LAVI,MLVWT,IVS,LVEDD,and the proportion of patients with enlarged left atrium in the HCM group were significantly higher than those in the CA group,while E/e',LVSED,and the proportions of patients with enlarged atria and pericardial effusion were significantly lower than those in the CA group(P＜0.05).The ROC curve showed that the area under the curve(AUC)for LAVI,E/e',MLVWT,IVS,left atrial enlargement,double atrial enlargement,and pericardial effusion in diagnosing CA was 0.88,0.972,0.946,0.995,0.694,0.792,and 0.903,respectively;the AUC for LAVI,E/e',MLVWT,IVS,and LVEDD in diagnosing HCM was 0.925,0.984,0.944,0.971,and 0.553,respectively.The absolute values of GCS,GRS,GLS,and GAS in the CA group and HCM group were significantly lower than those in the control group,while the Ts-SD-GLS level was significantly higher than that in the control group(P＜0.05).The Ts-SD-GLS level in the CA group was significantly higher than that in the HCM group(P＜0.05).The ROC curve revealed that the AUC for GCS,GRS,GLS,GAS,and Ts-SD-GLS in diagnosing CA was 0.828,1.000,0.993,0.838,and 1.000,respectively;and the AUC for GCS,GRS,GLS,GAS,and Ts-SD-GLS in diagnosing HCM was 0.826,0.919,0.854,0.829,and 0.970,respectively.The AUC for combined echocardiography and 3D-STI in diagnosing HCM and CA was 0.981 and 0.996,respectively.Conclusion Echocardiography combined with 3D-STI can be used for differential diagnosis of HCM and CA,with high effectiveness.

Patients with severe trauma require an extremely timely treatment and transfusion plays an irreplaceable role in the emergency treatment of such patients. An increasing number of evidence-based medicinal evidences and clinical practices suggest that patients with severe traumatic bleeding benefit from early transfusion of low-titer group O whole blood or hemostatic resuscitation with red blood cells, plasma and platelet of a balanced ratio. However, the current domestic mode of blood supply cannot fully meet the requirements of timely and effective blood transfusion for emergency treatment of patients with severe trauma in clinical practice. In order to solve the key problems in blood supply and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma, Branch of Clinical Transfusion Medicine of Chinese Medical Association, Group for Trauma Emergency Care and Multiple Injuries of Trauma Branch of Chinese Medical Association, Young Scholar Group of Disaster Medicine Branch of Chinese Medical Association organized domestic experts of blood transfusion medicine and trauma treatment to jointly formulate Chinese expert consensus on blood support mode and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma patients ( version 2024). Based on the evidence-based medical evidence and Delphi method of expert consultation and voting, 10 recommendations were put forward from two aspects of blood support mode and transfusion strategies, aiming to provide a reference for transfusion resuscitation in the emergency treatment of severe trauma and further improve the success rate of treatment of patients with severe trauma.

Objective:To explore the application of list nursing management combined with different artificial liver treatment modes in patients with liver failure.Methods:Fifty-three patients with liver failure hospitalized in Bethune Hospital of Shanxi Province from July 2020 to July 2021 were selected as the control group, 63 patients with liver failure hospitalized in Bethune Hospital of Shanxi Province from July 2021 to July 2022 were selected as the intervention group. According to the different treatment modes of artificial liver for patients, plasma exchange (PE), double plasma molecular adsorption system (DPMAS) and PE + DPMAS treatment were set up in the two groups. The control group received routine nursing care, while the intervention group received checklist nursing care in addition. The changes of albumin (ALB) and prothrombin time (PT) indexes before and after the different treatment modes were compared, together with the occurrence of complications between the two groups after the intervention.Results:The baseline data between the two groups was balanced, the difference had no statistical significant ( P>0.05). After the therapy, the level of ALB of patients who had accepted DPMAS and PE + DPMAS in the intervention group were 25.3(24.0, 27.9) and 23.2(22.4, 26.3) g/L, which were lower than the 28.2(26.3, 29.7) and 29.4(27.2, 30.0) g/L in the control group, the differences were significant ( Z = 2.47, 3.55, both P<0.05). After the therapy, the level of PT of patients in the intervention group under all three treatment modes were 15.8(14.8, 16.8), 22.7(19.2, 26.2) and 6.0(14.6, 20.0) s, which were lower than the 17.4(15.9, 20.9), 26.3(21.4, 36.4) and 21.2(16.9, 23.4) s in the control group, the differences were significant ( Z = 2.10, 2.07, 2.21, all P<0.05). In the intervention group, there were 6 cases of hypotension, anaphylaxis, bleeding, coagulation and infection under the DPMAS treatment mode, which was significant lower than the 11 cases in the control group ( χ2 = 4.97, P<0.05). There were 4 cases in the intervention group with the PE + DPMAS treatment mode occurred complications in above, which were significant lower than the 11 cases in the control group ( χ2 = 6.87, P<0.01). Conclusions:Artificial liver treatment can improve patients′ liver function and coagulation, and list nursing management may help to improve the effect of artificial liver treatment. It can improve nurses′ awareness of risk prejudgement, reduce various risks in the treatment process, reduce the incidence of adverse reactions, and enhance health care and patient satisfaction.

Objective:To study the effect of related laboratory indexes such as glycosylated hemoglobin on the occurrence of complications in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, and to construct a nomogram model.Methods:The clinical data of 203 patients with 2 diabetes mellitus from May 2020 to April 2022 in Quzhou Hospital, Zhejiang Medical and Health Group were retrospectively analyzed. Among them, 64 patients had no diabetic complications (control group), and 139 patients had diabetic complications (complication group). The clinical data of the two groups were recorded, and the related influencing factors of complications in patients with type 2 diabetes were analyzed; receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to analyze the predicting value of significant indexes for the complications in patients with type 2 diabetes; multivariate Logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the independent risk factors of complications in patients with type 2 diabetes; R language software 4.0 "rms" package was used to construct the nomogram model for predicting the complications in patients with type 2 diabetes, the calibration curve was internally validated, and the decision curve was used to evaluate the predictive efficacy of the nomogram model.Results:The hypertension rate, hyperlipemia rate, course of disease, fasting blood glucose, postprandial 2 h blood glucose and glycosylated hemoglobin in complication group were significantly higher in those in control group: 44.60% (62/139) vs. 20.31% (13/64), 48.92% (68/139) vs. 25.00% (16/64), (5.42 ± 0.68) years vs. (4.84 ± 0.51) years, (12.60 ± 2.80) mmol/L vs. (10.20 ± 1.90) mmol/L, (16.50 ± 3.10) mmol/L vs. (12.50 ± 2.90) mmol/L and (9.62 ± 1.33)% vs. (7.96 ± 0.85)%, and there were statistical differences ( P<0.01); there were no statistical differences in gender composition, age, body mass index, smoking rate, drinking rate, albumin and creatinine between the two groups ( P>0.05). ROC curve analysis result showed that the area under the curve of the course of disease, fasting blood glucose, postprandial 2 h blood glucose and glycosylated hemoglobin for predicting the complications in patients with type 2 diabetes were 0.725, 0.752, 0.830 and 0.861, respectively; the optimal cut-off values were 5 year, 11.8 mmol/L, 15.1 mmol/L and 9.23%. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis result showed that hypertension, hyperlipemia, course of disease, fasting blood glucose, postprandial 2 h blood glucose and glycosylated hemoglobin were independent risk factors of complications in patients with type 2 diabetes ( OR = 1.563, 1.692, 1.451, 1.703, 1.506 and 1.805; 95% CI 1.268 to 1.689, 1.483 to 1.824, 1.215 to 1.620, 1.402 to 1.903, 1.303 to 1.801 and 1.697 to 1.926; P<0.05). The hypertension, hyperlipemia, course of disease, fasting blood glucose, postprandial 2 h blood glucose and glycosylated hemoglobin were used as predictors to construct a nomogram model for predicting the complications in patients with type 2 diabetes. Internal validation result showed that the nomogram model predicted the complications with good concordance in patients with type 2 diabetes (C-index = 0.815, 95% CI 0.796 to 0.843); the nomogram model predicted the complications in patients with type 2 diabetes at a threshold >0.18, provided a net clinical benefit, and all had higher clinical net benefits than hypertension, hyperlipemia, course of disease, fasting blood glucose, postprandial 2 h blood glucose and glycosylated hemoglobin. Conclusions:The nomogram model constructed based on hypertension, hyperlipemia, course of disease, fasting blood glucose, postprandial 2 h blood glucose and glycosylated hemoglobin has better clinical value in predicting the complications in patients with type 2 diabetes.

This article reviews the application of narrative medicine in the general practice residency training, and discusses relevant problems and countermeasures.

Objective:To investigate the epidemiological characteristics, diagnosis, treat-ment and prognosis of gallbladder cancer in China from 2010 to 2017.Methods:The single disease retrospective registration cohort study was conducted. Based on the concept of the real world study, the clinicopathological data, from multicenter retrospective clinical data database of gallbladder cancer of Chinese Research Group of Gallbladder Cancer (CRGGC), of 6 159 patients with gallbladder cancer who were admitted to 42 hospitals from January 2010 to December 2017 were collected. Observation indicators: (1) case resources; (2) age and sex distribution; (3) diagnosis; (4) surgical treatment and prognosis; (5) multimodality therapy and prognosis. The follow-up data of the 42 hospitals were collected and analyzed by the CRGGC. The main outcome indicator was the overall survival time from date of operation for surgical patients or date of diagnosis for non-surgical patients to the end of outcome event or the last follow-up. Measurement data with normal distribu-tion were represented as Mean±SD, and comparison between groups was conducted using the t test. Measurement data with skewed distribution were represented as M( Q1, Q3) or M(range), and com-parison between groups was conducted using the U test. Count data were described as absolute numbers or percentages, and comparison between groups was conducted using the chi-square test. Univariate analysis was performed using the Logistic forced regression model, and variables with P<0.1 in the univariate analysis were included for multivariate analysis. Multivariate analysis was performed using the Logistic stepwise regression model. The life table method was used to calculate survival rates and the Kaplan-Meier method was used to draw survival curves. Log-rank test was used for survival analysis. Results:(1) Case resources: of the 42 hospitals, there were 35 class A of tertiary hospitals and 7 class B of tertiary hospitals, 16 hospitals with high admission of gallbladder cancer and 26 hospitals with low admission of gallbladder cancer, respectively. Geographical distribution of the 42 hospitals: there were 9 hospitals in central China, 5 hospitals in northeast China, 22 hospitals in eastern China and 6 hospitals in western China. Geographical distribution of the 6 159 patients: there were 2 154 cases(34.973%) from central China, 705 cases(11.447%) from northeast China, 1 969 cases(31.969%) from eastern China and 1 331 cases(21.611%) from western China. The total average number of cases undergoing diagnosis and treatment in hospitals of the 6 159 patients was 18.3±4.5 per year, in which the average number of cases undergoing diagnosis and treatment in hospitals of 4 974 patients(80.760%) from hospitals with high admission of gallbladder cancer was 38.8±8.9 per year and the average number of cases undergoing diagnosis and treatment in hospitals of 1 185 patients(19.240%) from hospitals with low admission of gallbladder cancer was 5.7±1.9 per year. (2) Age and sex distribution: the age of 6 159 patients diagnosed as gallbladder cancer was 64(56,71) years, in which the age of 2 247 male patients(36.483%) diagnosed as gallbladder cancer was 64(58,71)years and the age of 3 912 female patients(63.517%) diagnosed as gallbladder cancer was 63(55,71)years. The sex ratio of female to male was 1.74:1. Of 6 159 patients, 3 886 cases(63.095%) were diagnosed as gallbladder cancer at 56 to 75 years old. There was a significant difference on age at diagnosis between male and female patients ( Z=-3.99, P<0.001). (3) Diagnosis: of 6 159 patients, 2 503 cases(40.640%) were initially diagnosed as gallbladder cancer and 3 656 cases(59.360%) were initially diagnosed as non-gallbladder cancer. There were 2 110 patients(34.259%) not undergoing surgical treatment, of which 200 cases(9.479%) were initially diagnosed as gallbladder cancer and 1 910 cases(90.521%) were initially diagnosed as non-gallbladder cancer. There were 4 049 patients(65.741%) undergoing surgical treatment, of which 2 303 cases(56.878%) were initially diagnosed as gallbladder cancer and 1 746 cases(43.122%) were initial diagnosed as non-gallbladder cancer. Of the 1 746 patients who were initially diagnosed as non-gallbladder cancer, there were 774 cases(19.116%) diagnosed as gallbladder cancer during operation and 972 cases(24.006%) diagnosed as gallbladder cancer after operation. Of 6 159 patients, there were 2 521 cases(40.932%), 2 335 cases(37.912%) and 1 114 cases(18.087%) undergoing ultrasound, computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examination before initial diagnosis, respec-tively, and there were 3 259 cases(52.914%), 3 172 cases(51.502%) and 4 016 cases(65.205%) undergoing serum carcinoembryonic antigen, CA19-9 or CA125 examination before initially diagnosis, respectively. One patient may underwent multiple examinations. Results of univariate analysis showed that geographical distribution of hospitals (eastern China or western China), age ≥72 years, gallbladder cancer annual admission of hospitals, whether undergoing ultrasound, CT, MRI, serum carcinoembryonic antigen, CA19-9 or CA125 examination before initially diagnosis were related factors influencing initial diagnosis of gallbladder cancer patients ( odds ratio=1.45, 1.98, 0.69, 0.68, 2.43, 0.41, 1.63, 0.41, 0.39, 0.42, 95% confidence interval as 1.21-1.74, 1.64-2.40, 0.59-0.80, 0.60-0.78, 2.19-2.70, 0.37-0.45, 1.43-1.86, 0.37-0.45, 0.35-0.43, 0.38-0.47, P<0.05). Results of multivariate analysis showed that geographical distribution of hospitals (eastern China or western China), sex, age ≥72 years, gallbladder cancer annual admission of hospitals and cases undergoing ultrasound, CT, serum CA19-9 examination before initially diagnosis were indepen-dent influencing factors influencing initial diagnosis of gallbladder cancer patients ( odds ratio=1.36, 1.42, 0.89, 0.67, 1.85, 1.56, 1.57, 0.39, 95% confidence interval as 1.13-1.64, 1.16-1.73, 0.79-0.99, 0.57-0.78, 1.60-2.14, 1.38-1.77, 1.38-1.79, 0.35-0.43, P<0.05). (4) Surgical treatment and prognosis. Of the 4 049 patients undergoing surgical treatment, there were 2 447 cases(60.435%) with complete pathological staging data and follow-up data. Cases with pathological staging as stage 0, stage Ⅰ, stage Ⅱ, stage Ⅲa, stage Ⅲb, stage Ⅳa and stage Ⅳb were 85(3.474%), 201(8.214%), 71(2.902%), 890(36.371%), 382(15.611%), 33(1.348%) and 785(32.080%), respectively. The median follow-up time and median postoperative overall survival time of the 2 447 cases were 55.75 months (95% confidence interval as 52.78-58.35) and 23.46 months (95% confidence interval as 21.23-25.71), respectively. There was a significant difference in the overall survival between cases with pathological staging as stage 0, stage Ⅰ, stage Ⅱ, stage Ⅲa, stage Ⅲb, stage Ⅳa and stage Ⅳb ( χ2=512.47, P<0.001). Of the 4 049 patients undergoing surgical treatment, there were 2 988 cases(73.796%) with resectable tumor, 177 cases(4.371%) with unresectable tumor and 884 cases(21.833%) with tumor unassessable for resectabi-lity. Of the 2 988 cases with resectable tumor, there were 2 036 cases(68.139%) undergoing radical resection, 504 cases(16.867%) undergoing non-radical resection and 448 cases(14.994%) with operation unassessable for curative effect. Of the 2 447 cases with complete pathological staging data and follow-up data who underwent surgical treatment, there were 53 cases(2.166%) with unresectable tumor, 300 cases(12.260%) with resectable tumor and receiving non-radical resection, 1 441 cases(58.888%) with resectable tumor and receiving radical resection, 653 cases(26.686%) with resectable tumor and receiving operation unassessable for curative effect. There were 733 cases not undergoing surgical treatment with complete pathological staging data and follow-up data. There was a significant difference in the overall survival between cases not undergoing surgical treatment, cases undergoing surgical treatment for unresectable tumor, cases undergoing non-radical resection for resectable tumor and cases undergoing radical resection for resectable tumor ( χ2=121.04, P<0.001). (5) Multimodality therapy and prognosis: of 6 159 patients, there were 541 cases(8.784%) under-going postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy and advanced chemotherapy, 76 cases(1.234%) under-going radiotherapy. There were 1 170 advanced gallbladder cancer (pathological staging ≥stage Ⅲa) patients undergoing radical resection, including 126 cases(10.769%) with post-operative adjuvant chemotherapy and 1 044 cases(89.231%) without postoperative adjuvant chemo-therapy. There was no significant difference in the overall survival between cases with post-operative adjuvant chemotherapy and cases without postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy ( χ2=0.23, P=0.629). There were 658 patients with pathological staging as stage Ⅲa who underwent radical resection, including 66 cases(10.030%) with postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy and 592 cases(89.970%) without postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy. There was no significant difference in the overall survival between cases with postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy and cases without postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy ( χ2=0.05, P=0.817). There were 512 patients with pathological staging ≥stage Ⅲb who underwent radical resection, including 60 cases(11.719%) with postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy and 452 cases(88.281%) without postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy. There was no significant difference in the overall survival between cases with postoperative adjuvant chemo-therapy and cases without post-operative adjuvant chemo-therapy ( χ2=1.50, P=0.220). Conclusions:There are more women than men with gallbladder cancer in China and more than half of patients are diagnosed at the age of 56 to 75 years. Cases undergoing ultrasound, CT, serum CA19-9 examination before initial diagnosis are independent influencing factors influencing initial diagnosis of gallbladder cancer patients. Preoperative resectability evaluation can improve the therapy strategy and patient prognosis. Adjuvant chemotherapy for gallbladder cancer is not standardized and in low proportion in China.

Objective:To explore the status quo of support needs among the caregivers of patients with advanced breast cancer and analyze its influencing factors to provide reference for improving the quality of life of patients with advanced breast cancer and their caregivers.Methods:Totally 168 caregivers of patients with advanced breast cancer admitted at the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University were selected by convenient sampling and investigated with the general information questionnaire and Comprehensive Needs Assessment Tool in Cancer for Caregivers (CNAT-C) . Multiple linear regression analysis was used to analyze the influencing factors.Results:The total CNAT-C score of the 168 caregivers of patients with advanced breast cancer was (96.13±8.06) . The result of multiple linear regression analysis showed that the fertility status, monthly family income, and the payment method of medical expenses were the influencing factors of the support of the caregivers of patients with advanced breast cancer ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:Nursing staff should pay attention to the support needs of caregivers of patients with advanced breast cancer and take targeted intervention measures based on their influencing factors to improve the quality of life of patients with advanced breast cancer and their caregivers.

Objective:To explore the effects of early warning nursing on preventing the incidence of venous thrombosis in patients with breast cancer after chemotherapy.Methods:Totally 103 patients with breast cancer admitted at the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from January to December 2018 who received routine nursing were included into the routine group, and 103 patients with breast cancer admitted at the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from January to December 2019 who underwent early warning nursing were included into the early warning group. The incidence of venous thrombosis 1 month after chemotherapy was compared between the two groups. Color Doppler ultrasonography was used to detect axillary blood flow before and 1 month after chemotherapy.Results:The incidence of venous thrombosis in the early warning group after chemotherapy was lower than that in the routine group, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05) . The maximum blood flow rate and average blood flow rate in the armpit after chemotherapy in the early warning group were higher than those in the routine group, with statistically significant difference ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:Early warning nursing has a positive effect on the incidence of venous thrombosis in patients with breast cancer after chemotherapy, which can improve their hemagglutination.

Objective:To investigate the relationship between abdominal visceral adipose tissue (VAT) and cardiometabolic risk (CMR) through quantitative computed tomography (QCT).Methods:The present study included 76226 participants. Abdominal fat areas were measured using the QCT Pro Model 4 system. Cardiometabolic indices were collected, including systolic and diastolic blood pressures, fasting plasma glucose, total cholesterol, triglyceride, and low-density and high-density lipoprotein cholesterols CMR score was the sum of abnormal blood pressure, fasting glucose, triglyceride, and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol. Restricted cubic spline and ordered logistic regression models were applied.Results:The mean age was 50±13 years and the percentage of men was 58.8%. The level of VAT area was higher in men than in women (191.7±77.1 cm 2 vs 116.4±56.2 cm 2, P<0.0001 for all). After adjustment for age, the cardiometabolic indices except high-density lipoprotein cholesterol increased with increasing VAT area. When VAT area was 300 cm 2, age-adjusted odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals of a CMR score ≥ 1 were 14.61 (13.31, 16.04) for men and 5.46 (4.06, 7.36) for women, and the age-adjusted probability of a CMR score ≥ 3 was 31.7% for men and 31.3% for women. Conclusions:QCT-derived VAT is closely related to CMR. The findings suggest that measurement of visceral fat is recommended for the management of abdominal obesity in subjects who agree to undergo lung cancer screening via low-dose CT without additional radiation exposure.
