Objective:To comprehensively evaluate the cost and cost-effectiveness of the colorectal cancer screening program for key populations in Zhejiang Province from 2020 to 2022, and provide reference for optimizing colorectal cancer screening strategies.Methods:Based on the colorectal cancer screening program for key populations in Zhejiang Province from 2020 to 2022, parameters such as initial screening positivity rates, colonoscopy compliance rates, and detection rates for colorectal-related lesions among residents aged 50-74 were obtained. Questionnaire surveys assessed program costs and direct medical costs associated with colorectal cancer-related lesions. From a health system perspective, the cost-effectiveness ratio was calculated using the Early Detection Cost Index (EDCI) and the cost per detected case, followed by sensitivity analysis.Results:A total of 5 881 364 screenings were completed from 2020 to 2022. The initial screening positive rate (positive for either questionnaire or fecal immunochemical testing ) was 16.83%, with a colonoscopy compliance rates of 33.96% ( n=336 150). Detection rates for non-advanced adenomas, advanced adenomas, and colorectal cancer were 24.83% ( n=83 453), 11.91% ( n=40 033), and 1.01% ( n=3 397), respectively. Initial screening positivity rates and detection rates increased with age, while colonoscopy compliance rates decreased with age. Cost analysis showed a total project investment of 378 730 457 yuan, with initial screening costing 146 633 103 yuan (38.72%) and diagnostic colonoscopy 232 097 354 yuan (61.28%). The average cost per initial screening and diagnostic colonoscopy was 24.93 and 690.46 yuan, respectively. Direct medical costs for non-advanced adenomas, advanced adenomas, and colorectal cancer at stages Ⅰ, Ⅱ, Ⅲ, and Ⅳ were 4 921, 8 380, 42 547, 62 156, 66 720, and 72 334 yuan, respectively. Cost-effectiveness analysis indicated that screening needed to detect one case of colorectal cancer required 1 731 people and cost 111 490 yuan; the cost per detected advanced adenoma was 9 460 yuan, and the EDCI was 0.09. Costs decreased with increasing age per detected colorectal lesion. Sensitivity analysis showed that increasing colonoscopy compliance could reduce the cost-effectiveness ratio. Conclusions:The colorectal cancer screening program for key populations in Zhejiang Province demonstrates cost-effectiveness. Improving colonoscopy compliance can enhance overall screening effectiveness and economic benefits.

OBJECTIVE To provide a reference for clinically rational drug use and pharmaceutical care for patients with diabetes complicated with hyperlipidemia induced by immunosuppressive agents after liver transplantation. METHODS Clinical pharmacists participated in the treatment of a patient with diabetes complicated with suspected hyperlipidemia induced by immunosuppressive agents after liver transplantation. Due to the poor glucose control of the patient, the clinical pharmacists assisted the doctor in adjusting the glycemic control plan: subcutaneous injection of 18, 12 and 16 units of Insulin lispro injection before meals, and subcutaneous injection of 16 units of Insulin glargine injection before bedtime. Due to the occurrence of hyperlipidemia in the patient, clinical pharmacists clarified the possible cause of abnormal blood lipid elevation was using immunosuppressants by reviewing the timeline of dose adjustment of immunosuppressive agents and changes in blood lipid levels based on relevant guidelines. Clinical pharmacists suggested using Rosuvastatin calcium tablets 5 mg, qd for lipid-lowering treatment, reducing the dosage of Mycophenolate mofetil capsules and Tacrolimus capsules to 500 mg, bid and 2 mg, bid, respectively. Medication education and pharmaceutical care were also carried out. RESULTS The doctor adopted the advice of the clinical pharmacists. After treatment, the levels of blood glucose and blood lipid in the patient improved, and he was allowed to be discharged with medication. CONCLUSIONS Clinical pharmacists provide pharmaceutical services such as recommending the addition of statins, adjusting the dosage of immunosuppressive agents, and conducting pharmaceutical care to optimize individualized medication plans for patients and ensure the safety and effectiveness of medication.

Objective:To evaluate the safety and efficacy of carotid artery stenting (CAS) in the treatment of non-circumferential severe calcification using the distal embolic protection device.Methods:Clinical data of patients with severe calcification lesions in cervical carotid artery treated by CAS from Jan 2018 to Dec 2020 at our center was analyzed retrospectively.Results:226 consecutively admitted patients of cervical carotid artery stenosis and non-circumferential severe calcification (CR>270°) underwent CAS using the distal embolic protection device. The technical success rate was 90.26%. No death or myocardial infarction occurred during the perioperative period. Two patients had ipsilateral hemiparesis ischemic stroke during post-dilatation. The incidence of perioperative bradycardia/hypotension was 25.34%. Patients were followed up for 6-36 months, with median follow-up period of 17.3 months. The incidence of mild or moderate in-stent restenosis (<70%) was 16.59%, and the incidence of severe in-stent restenosis or occlusion (>70%) was 3.22%.Conclusions:For carotid artery stenosis with non-circumferential severe calcification in high risk for CEA patients, carotid artery stenting is safe and effective with the aggressive pre-dilation strategies, strict stent selections and implantation standards. The incidence of perioperative death, myocardial infarction or ipsilateral hemiparesis ischemic stroke was low. The patency rate of the carotid stent in the calcification lesion is satisfactory during the mid-term follow-up.

Objective:To construct a standard index system for the outpatient job competency of midwife, and to clarify the midwives' abilities when providing outpatient services, so as to improve the midwives' core competencies and service satisfaction.Methods:A research group was established in December 2018. On the basis of literature review and survey of midwives' outpatient needs in the early stage, referring to expert opinions, and taking job competency theory as the theoretical framework, the standard index system for the outpatient job competency of midwife were initially constructed. From December 2018 to March 2019, convenience sampling was used to select 24 experts from different ClassⅢ Grade A hospitals of Beijing, and the Delphi method was used to conduct 2 rounds of expert consultations.Results:Among 2 rounds of expert consultations, the effective recovery rates of the questionnaires were all 100.0% (24/24) , the positive coefficient of experts was 100.0%, and the coefficient of authority of experts was 0.786. The Kendall coordination coefficients of the 2 rounds of correspondence were 0.030 and 0.400, respectively ( P<0.05) . The final construction of standard index system for the outpatient job competency of midwife included 4 first-level indicators, 9 second-level indicators and 24 third-level indicators of knowledge and skills, professional quality, health education ability, and ability to improve the quality of professional services. Conclusions:The standard index system for the outpatient job competency of midwife is scientific and reasonable, comprehensive in content, and strong in specialty, which can provide a reference for the training and assessment of midwife.
