Objective To evaluate the effect of bundle intervention on reducing catheter-associated urinary tract in-fection(CAUTI).Methods Hospitalized patients with urinary catheterization in a tertiary first-class hospital were subjected to targeted monitoring of a baseline survey from January to December 2022(pre-intervention).The main causes were found out,and bundle intervention measures were developed and implemented through plan-do-check-act(PDCA)tools from January to March 2023(intervention period).The data from April to December 2023(post-intervention)were collected,difference in catheter use rate and incidence of CAUTI before and after intervention were compared.Results The implementation rate of correctly hanging urine collection bags after intervention was 97.00%,the implementation rate of timely emptying urine collection bags was 91.72%,awareness rate of hand hy-giene among patient's family members was 79.13%,implementation rate of urinary catheter clamping during trans-portation was 74.79%,and daily evaluation implementation rate was 87.68%,which were higher than the pre-in-tervention rates of 85.63%,80.47%,62.75%,60.00%,and 79.93%,respectively.The incidence of CAUTI de-creased from 1.23‰ before intervention to 0.57‰ after intervention,the use rate of urinary catheter decreased from 5.53%before intervention to 5.37%after intervention.Differences of the above indicators were all statistically sig-nificant(all P<0.05).Conclusion Through targeted monitoring on CAUTI and PDCA quality tools,the weak links in healthcare-associated infection control are identified,more targeted prevention and control measures are for-mulated,the implementation of bundle intervention measures can reduce the incidence of CAUTI.

Objective:To investigate the serum thyroglobulin (Tg) levels of women in early pregnancy in Dali City, Yunnan Province, and provide a scientific basis for evaluation of individual iodine nutrition of early pregnant women in this area.Methods:Dali City, Yunnan Province was divided into 5 sampling areas according to east, west, south, north and middle. One township (town) was selected from each area, and at least 20 women in early pregnancy were selected from each township (town) as survey subjects. General condition and medical history of all subjects were collected, and random urine samples and fasting venous blood samples were collected for determination of urinary iodine and thyroid function indexes, and a portable ultrasound machine was used for thyroid ultrasonography. After excluding the patients with a history of thyroid disease and abnormal thyroid function, the level of Tg in the included early pregnant women was analyzed.Results:A total of 120 women in early pregnancy were investigated, aged from 19 to 40 years. Among them, 61 cases came from urban areas and 59 were from rural areas. The median urinary iodine was 156.54 μg/L, which was at the appropriate level of iodine nutrition. A total of 102 women with normal thyroid function in early pregnancy were included, and the Tg level was 11.56 (6.67, 15.27) ng/ml. Among them, 58 cases were in urban areas and 44 cases were in rural areas. There was no significant difference in serum Tg levels between rural and urban women in early pregnancy ( U = 1 362.50, P = 0.559). Conclusion:The serum Tg level of women in early pregnancy in Dali City can provide a reference for evaluation of individual iodine nutrition of relevant populations in this area.

Objective:To investigate and analyze the prevalence of thyroid disease during pregnancy in Dali, Yunnan Province, and to provide scientific basis for prevention and treatment of benign thyroid disease during pregnancy in the region.Methods:From July to December 2014, Dali in Yunnan Province was divided into 5 sampling areas according to east, west, south, north and middle. One township (town) was selected from each area, and at least 20 women in early, middle and late pregnancy, respectively, were selected from each township (town). To conduct this investigation, medical history data was collected, thyroid ultrasound examination and serological indexes of thyroid function test were performed based on the normal reference value of specific thyroid function serological indexes during pregnancy in this region.Results:A total of 370 cases of pregnant women were investigated, including 120 cases in early pregnancy (61 cases in urban areas and 59 cases in rural areas), aged 19 - 40 years; 126 cases in middle pregnancy (60 cases in urban areas and 66 cases in rural areas), aged 19 - 45 years; and 124 cases in late pregnancy (57 cases in urban areas and 67 cases in rural areas), aged 19 - 44 years. The detection rate of thyroid disease in pregnant women was 27.57% (102/370). The detection rate of thyroid dysfunction was 7.57% (28/370), the positive detection rate of thyroid antibody was 11.62% (43/370), and the detection rate of thyroid nodule was 13.51% (50/370). The detection rates of thyroid diseases in early, middle and late pregnancy were 33.33% (40/120), 23.02% (29/126), 26.61% (33/124), respectively, and the difference was not statistically significant(χ 2 = 3.362, P > 0.05). Conclusions:In Daliy, Yunnan Province, there is a high detection rate of thyroid diseases during pregnancy, especially in early pregnancy. Therefore, it is necessary to carry out further large-scale investigation and study to provide a more reliable scientific basis for prevention and treatment of thyroid disease during pregnancy in this region.
