Few studies have evaluated the global burden of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in adolescents and young adults (AYAs). Methods: Age-standardized rates of incidence (ASIR), mortality (ASMR), and disability-adjusted life-years (ASDR) were used to describe the CKD burden in AYAs. The estimated annual percentage changes (EAPCs) were calculated to evaluate the temporal trends from 1990 to 2019. Risk factors were calculated by population attributable fractions. Results: In 2019, the ASIR, ASMR, and ASDR of CKD in AYAs were 32.21 (95% uncertainty interval [UI], 23.73–40.81) per 100,000, 2.86 (2.61–3.11) per 100,000 and 236.85 (209.03–268.91) per 100,000, respectively. The ASIR was higher among females than males, whereas the ASMR was higher among males than females in 2019. From 1990 to 2019, significant increases in ASIR were found for CKD (EAPC, 0.98%; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.95%–1.01%), although the ASMR had decreased (EAPC, –0.40%; 95% CI, –0.56% to –0.24%). The largest increase in ASIR was observed in countries with a middle sociodemographic index (SDI) (EAPC, 1.30%; 95% CI, 1.28%–1.33%), while the largest increase in ASMR was observed in high SDI. Globally, the proportional contribution of risk factors for CKD mortality varied across regions, with the highest proportions of high fasting plasma glucose being 14.04% in low SDI, compared with 24.01% in high SDI. Conclusion: CKD is a growing global health problem in AYAs, especially in countries with a middle SDI. Targeted measures are needed to address the rising burden of CKD in AYAs, focusing on prevention, early diagnosis, and reducing disparities.

It is difficult to accurately distinguish pharyngitis caused by Group A Streptococcus(GAS) from other pathogens according to the clinical presentation alone, which cannot effectively guide the rational use of antimicrobials.The pharyngeal swab culture, rapid antigen detection test, nucleic acid test, and blood test can help definitively diagnose GAS pharyngitis.However, there are differences in different guidelines on who the laboratory test methods are intended for, interpretation of laboratory test results and so on.This article summarizes and analyses the laboratory diagnostic modalities and their characteristics, as well as recommendations for GAS pharyngitis in different guidelines to provide references for the clinical diagnosis, antimicrobial treatment, and further study of GAS pharyngitis.

Objective:To translate the Nurse Delirium Care Competency Scale (NDCCS) into Chinese and test the validity and reliability of Chinese version of NDCCS among ICU nurses.Methods:According to Brislin translation model, the Chinese version of NDCCS was developed by forward translation, back translation, cross-cultural adaptation and pre-survey. From October to December of 2023, 338 ICU nurses from Sir Run Run Shaw Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine were selected by cross-sectional survey to test the reliability and validity of Chinese version of NDCCS.Results:A total of 329 valid questionnaires were collected. There were 50 males and 279 females, aged 20-53 years old. The Chinese version of NDCCS included 6 dimensions and 27 items. The scale-level content validity value was 0.985, and the item-level content validity value was 0.800-1.000. Exploratory factor analysis showed a six-factor structure, the cumulative variance contribution rate was 75.700%, the Cronbach′s α coefficients of the scale amount table were 0.952, and the Cronbach′s α coefficients of the dimensions were 0.811- 0.936,and the retest reliability was 0.932.Conclusions:The Chinese version of the NDCCS has good reliability and validity, and it is suitable for assessing the delirium care competence of ICU nurses in China.

Objective:To optimize the accuracy of the intelligent hand hygiene system to monitor the hand hygiene timing warning, and provide a reference basis for healthcare workers to apply the intelligent hand hygiene system.Methods:Using a single-sample diagnostic pilot study method, 62 clinical nurses wearing smart badges working in the intensive care unit of Sir Run Run Shaw Hospital Affiliated to Zhejiang University School of Medicine in Hangzhou, from December 1, 2020 to December 31, 2021 were selected by convenience sampling methods. Direct observation was used as the gold standard. The accuracy of the warning timing of the intelligent hand hygiene monitoring system was optimized through adjusting the bed sensing rang,adjusting the time setting, adjusting the time settings according to the physical space of the ward and adding posture recognition.Results:The sensitivity of adjusting the bed sensing range was 0.935 (95% CI 0.918-0.949); the specificity was 0.008 (95% CI 0.001-0.074). The sensitivity of the temporal setting based on the physical space of the ward was 0.932(95% CI 0.915-0.946); the specificity was 0.205 (95% CI 0.087-0.410). The false positive rate with gesture recognition turned on was 86.1% higher than the false positive rate without gesture recognition which was 79.5%. The diagnostic OR based on the temporal setting of the physical space of the ward was the largest at 3.517(95% CI 1.213-10.193). Conclusions:The intelligent hand hygiene system exhibits high accuracy in monitoring hand hygiene timing. Adjusting the bed sensing range and individualizing the timing settings according to the physical space of the ward can improve the accuracy. Further optimization is needed for posture recognition to improve the accuracy.

Purpose To evaluate the differential diagnostic value of conventional ultrasound in the ureteral polyps and ureteral carcinoma via continuous observation.Materials and Methods The conventional ultrasound of patients with ureteral polyps and ureteral carcinoma treated in Shaanxi Provincial People's Hospital were retrospectively analyzed from June 2015 to June 2022.According to the pathological results,all participants were divided into the ureteral polyp group(98 cases)and the ureteral carcinoma group(151 cases).All clinical and ultrasound data were recorded,and the differences of echo,blood flow and peristalsis were compared between the two groups.Results There were significant differences in ureteral peristalsis,color Doppler flow distribution,periureteral tissue thickening,increased echo,and hydronephrosis(χ2=197.50,138.89,26.97,36.13,all P<0.05)between the two groups.Low echo was predominant in both groups[67(68.37)vs.114(75.50)],with no significant difference(χ2=1.52,P>0.05).In the ureteral polyp group,67 cases were found in the upper ureter,89 cases were observed continuously with common peristalsis,and 73 cases with color blood flow were mostly central blood flow,while in the ureteral cancer group,85 cases were found in the middle and lower ureter,148 cases showed almost no peristalsis,and 122 cases with color blood flow were mostly peripheral blood flow.Conclusion There are some differences in clinical features such as the location as well as whether hydronephrosis between ureteral polyps and carcinoma.Peristalsis can provide the differential diagnosis for ureteral polyps and ureteral carcinoma via continuous observation.
