OBJECTIVE To optimize the prescription pre-review system in our hospital and evaluate its application effects. METHODS Aiming at the problems of imperfect rule base and high false positive rate in the early operation of the system, optimization measures were taken, including improving the content of the rule base, adjusting the interception level and prompt mode, refining the working model of prescription review pharmacists, and strengthening clinical communication. A retrospective cohort study was conducted, with prescription data from June to December 2023 (before optimization) as the control group and June to December 2024 (after optimization) as the observation group. Through inter group comparative analysis, the actual effect of optimizing the prescription pre-approval system was evaluated. RESULTS The prescription qualified rate increased from (82.51± 4.04)% before optimization to (90.98±1.55)% after optimization; the false positive rate decreased from (20.87±1.64)% before optimization to (7.41±2.04)% after optimization. The monthly range of prescription qualified rate narrowed from 10.24% to 4.11%, and the coefficient of variation decreased from 4.92% to 1.73%. The monthly range of false positive rate slightly increased from 4.40% to 5.34%, the coefficient of variation rose from 8.32% to 26.18%. CONCLUSIONS Through multi-dimensional optimizations of the prescription pre-review system in our hospital, its prescription review efficiency has been significantly enhanced, the quality of prescriptions has steadily improved, and the accuracy of reviews has notably improved.

Objective:To gain a deeper understanding of the comorbidity status of elderly patients with coronary heart disease and the effect of comorbidity on their hospitalization costs.Methods:Using the convenient sampling method, a total of 8 334 elderly hospitalized patients diagnosed with coronary heart disease in Beijing Hospital from January 2018 to December 2021 were selected as the research objects. General Inforamtion Questionnaire and Charson comorbidity index (CCI) were used to investigate the comorbidity of patients.Results:Among the 8 334 elderly patients with coronary heart disease included, 88.18% (7 349/8 334) had comorbidity, and there was a statistically significant difference in hospital costs among patients with different CCI scores ( P<0.01). Elderly patients with coronary heart disease with comorbidity had higher hospital costs. The results of the binomial logistic regression analysis showed that comorbidities increased the hospitalization costs of elderly coronary heart disease patients in both the unadjusted model and the gradually adjusted model for age, gender, occupation, education level, admission department, admission status, admission year, admission mode length of stay and disease classification ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:The comorbidity in elderly patients with coronary heart disease is serious, which is an important factor affecting hospitalization costs. In medical practice, it is necessary to strengthen the comprehensive management of elderly patients with coronary heart disease, pay attention to the influencing factors of hospitalization costs, optimize prevention and treatment strategies, control the occurrence and progression of comorbidities among patients, deepen the reform of medical insurance payment methods such as grouping payments based on disease diagnosis, so as to accurately reduce hospitalization costs and promote the sustainable and healthy development of the medical and health system.

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 compare and explore the diagnostic performance of adding value of transabdominal and transvaginal contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) to Ovarian-Adnexal Reporting and Data System (O-RADS US) risk stratification and management system in differential diagnosis of adnexal masses.Methods:A total of 180 adnexal masses with solid components in 175 women were enrolled retrospectively between September 2021 and November 2022. All patients underwent routine Doppler ultrasound examinations and CEUS examinations. Among these masses, 107 masses underwent with transabdominal CEUS, 58 masses underwent with transvaginal CEUS, and 15 masses underwent both transvaginal and transabdominal CEUS. All patients were scheduled for surgery and pathological results served as the reference standard. Routine Doppler ultrasound and CEUS images and video were reviewed by a subspecialty radiologist using Vuebox software. The O-RADS US was downgraded or upgraded according to the CEUS characteristics of the masses. The diagnostic accuracy was assessed using ROC curve analysis. The area under the ROC curve (AUC) was calculated to compare the diagnostic performance of adding value of transabdominal and transvaginal CEUS to O-RADS US.Results:The diagnostic performance of adding transabdominal and transvaginal CEUS to O-RADS US were both significantly higher than of O-RADS US alone (transabdominal CEUS: AUC 0.83 vs 0.76, P=0.018; transvaginal CEUS: AUC 0.92 vs 0.81, P=0.013). Combination of transvaginal CEUS and O-RADS US was superior to that of combination of transabdominal and O-RADS US in the differential diagnosis of adnexal masses ( P=0.047). When the maximal diameter of adnexal masses ≤40 mm, transabdominal combined with O-RADS US presented the lowest diagnostic performance, with an AUC of 0.73. Conclusions:Combination of transvaginal CEUS and O-RADS US was superior to that of combination of transabdominal and O-RADS US in assessing adnexal masses with solid components. When the maximal diameter of adnexal masses ≤40 mm, transvaginal CEUS examination was recommended.
