Objective:To explore the factors influencing the incidence and duration of delirium in ICU patients, so as to provide a reference for early identification and prevention of delirium in these patients.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on the medical records of 1, 500 patients admitted to the ICU of the Affiliated Jiangning Hospital of Nanjing Medical University from January 2020 to December 2024. The data collected included gender, age, anesthesia method, surgical duration, infection duration, extubation time, duration of mechanical ventilation and hypoxia, Acute Physiology and Chronic Health EvaluationⅡ (APACHEⅡ) score, Confusion Assessment Method for the Intensive Care Unit (CAM-ICU) score, duration of sedative medication, and ICU length of stay. Binary Logistic regression and multiple linear regression analysis were employed to investigate the factors influencing the incidence and duration of delirium in ICU patients.Results:The incidence of delirium among 1 500 ICU patients was 38.4% (576/1 500), with a duration of 1.10 (1.00, 3.20) d. Binary Logistic regression analysis revealed that infection duration, APACHEⅡ score, mechanical ventilation duration, and sedative medication duration were statistically significant factors influencing delirium incidence in ICU patients ( P<0.05). Multiple linear regression analysis revealed that delirium type, duration of hypoxia, use of sedative medications, and length of ICU stay were statistically significant factors influencing the duration of delirium in ICU patients ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:ICU patients have a relatively high incidence of delirium, and numerous factors influence the incidence and duration of delirium. Clinical nursing professionals should identify risk factors early and develop corresponding intervention measures to reduce the incidence of delirium in ICU patients and promote their recovery.

Objective: To understand the fruit consumption of adults of Qingdao and examine the association between fruit consumption and stroke. Methods: We analyzed baseline data and stroke incidence of the participants who were aged 30-79 years and had been enrolled into the China Kadoorie Biobank (CKB) study from Qingdao city. Cox proportional hazards regression model was conducted to estimate the association of fruit consumption with risk of stroke. Results: A total of 35 509 participants were investgated in the baseline survey. Ratio of male to female was 1∶1.27, and the average age was (50.3±10.2) years. Respondents with higher frequency of fruit consumption were younger, more women, with higher education level and higher income (P<0.05). A total of 1 011 new cases of stroke were observed, with a stroke incidence of 387.63/100 000 person-years. Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that fruit consumption had a protective effect on stroke incidence. Compared to the respondents who never consumed fruit, respondents who consumed fruit more than 4 days per week had a 44% lower risk of stroke incidence (HR=0.56, 95%CI: 0.50-0.62, P<0.05), and the risk reduced by 46% (HR=0.54, 95%CI: 0.46-0.64, P<0.05) and 42% (HR=0.58, 95%CI: 0.52-0.69, P<0.05) in male and female, respectively. Further adjustment for WC, BMI, SBP and random blood glucose did not change the association. Conclusion Increasing fruit consumption can effectively decrease the risk of stroke. People should increase fruit consumption advisably to set up reasonable and healthy dietary habits.
