Objective To evaluate the impact of intensified infection control measures on the incidence of health-care-associated infection(HAI)under the background of the reform of diagnosis-intervention packet(DIP)payment,and provide decision-making basis for HAI management under the reform of medical insurance payment.Methods The interrupted time series research design was used to collect the monitoring data of HAI in a tertiary first-class hospital from October 2021 to September 2024.The changing trend of HAI incidence was analyzed by piecewise li-near regression,and the intervention effect was evaluated by standardized infection ratio(SIR).Results From Oc-tober 2021 to September 2022,the incidence of HAI was 2.17％(95％CI:2.08％-2.26％),which dropped to 1.87％(95％CI:1.82％-1.92％)after the intervention.Piecewise linear regression analysis showed that the inci-dence of HAI decreased by 0.324％immediately after the intervention(95％CI:-0.481％--0.167％,P＜0.001),and the trend after the intervention changed significantly compared with that before the intervention(95％CI:-0.033％--0.009％,P=0.001).SIR analysis showed that the actual incidence during the entire intervention period was equivalent to 74.56％of the incidence in intervention period,gradually stabilized from 88.39％-93.81％at the beginning of the intervention to 67.03％-71.22％at the end of the study,and the intervention effect was sustained.Conclusion Intensified infection control measures under the background of the reform of DIP significantly reduce the incidence of HAI and improve the stability of infection control management,which provide new insights into the synergistic improvement of medical insurance payment and HAI management quality.

Objective To describe the clinical features of patients with primary sclerosing cholangitis(PSC)in China based on a nationwide multicenter patient cohort,and to investigate the risk factors for prognosis.Methods A retrospective cohort study was conducted among the patients with a confirmed diagnosis of PSC based on the electronic medical record system of seven grade A tertiary hospitals across the country,and related data were extracted.The Mann-Whitney U test was used for comparison of continuous data between groups,and the chi-square test was used for comparison of categorical data between groups.The Kaplan-Meier method was used to estimate liver transplant-free survival,and the log-rank test was used for comparison of survival rate between PSC patients with different features.The Cox regression model was used to identify independent risk factors for the prognosis of PSC patients and the interactions between key factors.Results A total of 107 patients were enrolled,among whom 55.6%(55/99)had large-duct PSC and 29.0%(31/107)had comorbidity with inflammatory bowel disease(IBD).The positivity rate of anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody(ANCA)was 32.9%(24/73),and 50.0%(40/80)of the patients had an increase in IgG/IgM.The median symptom-to-diagnosis interval was 1 year(<1-4.0),and 38.3%(41/107)of the patients had progressed to decompensated cirrhosis at the time of diagnosis.The median liver transplant-free survival time was 114 months(95%confidence interval[CI]:62-166),with a 5-year survival rate of 65.7%.The multivariate analysis showed that an increase in total bile acid(TBA)(hazard ratio[HR]=1.006,95%CI:1.002-1.010,P=0.001)and a prolonged symptom-to-diagnosis interval(HR=1.252,95%CI:1.059-1.480,P=0.009)were independent risk factors for prognosis.The interaction analysis showed that compared with the female patients with TBA<50 μmol/L,both male and female patients with TBA≥50 μmol/L had a significant increase in the risk of liver transplantation or death(male:HR=16.563,95%CI:2.103-130.449,P<0.001;female:HR=17.009,95%CI:2.113-136.934,P<0.001),and compared with the patients with an age of<45 years and a TBA level of<50 μmol/L,the patients with an age of≥45 years and a TBA level of≥50 μmol/L had a significant increase in the risk of liver transplantation or death(HR=10.729,95%CI:1.325-86.859,P=0.026).Compared with the female patients with an symptom-to-diagnosis interval of≤2 years,the male patients with a symptom-to-diagnosis interval of>2 years had an increased risk of liver transplantation or death(HR=4.825,95%CI:1.725-13.644,P=0.003),and compared with the patients with an age of<45 years and a symptom-to-diagnosis interval of≤2 years,the patients with an age of<45 years and a symptom-to-diagnosis interval of>2 years had an increased risk of liver transplantation or death(HR=4.983,95%CI:1.366-18.173,P=0.015).Conclusion Compared with the reports from Western countries,large-duct PSC is also the main type of PSC in China,but with a relatively low proportion,and there is also a relatively low proportion of patients with IBD or positive ANCA.An increase in TBA and a prolonged symptom-to-diagnosis interval are independent risk factors for prognosis,with significant interactions with age and sex.This suggests that early screening and intervention should be enhanced to improve prognosis.

Objective:To investigate the treatment and management of patients with endemic fluorosis (referred to as fluorosis) in Ankang City, Shaanxi Province, and to provide a scientific basis for adjusting and optimizing treatment and management strategies for fluorosis patients.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on patient information collected from county-level disease prevention and control centers in Ankang City from 2019 to 2023. Data included demographic information, clinical treatment, chronic disease management, treatment records, work reports, and summaries. The study aimed to learn about the treatment willingness, methods, and effects of patients with fluorosis, and to evaluate the disease management situation of patients with fluorosis.Results:From 2019 to 2023, the proportion of fluorosis patients who were willing to receive treatment in Ankang City had increased from 76.80% (1 089/1 418) in 2019 to 100% (1 408/1 408) in 2023, showing an upward trend year by year (χ 2trend = 971.15, P < 0.001). A total of 6 876 patients received treatment, with a treatment rate of 100%. The majority of patients received drug treatment (99.64%, 6 851/6 876), with an effective rate of 94.90% (6 525/6 876). The effective rate of treatment for patients with fluorosis had increased from 88.71% (966/1 418) in 2019 to 94.67% (1 333/1 408) in 2023, showing an upward trend (χ 2trend = 1 002.92, P < 0.001). The adverse reaction rate of drug treatment was 0.36% (25/6 876). The combination of oral medication and local treatment had the highest effective rate (97.62%, 3 566/3 653). The management rate and contracted service rate of fluorosis patients were 100% each year, and the standardized management rate was above 99%. Conclusions:Fluorosis patients in Ankang City have a high willingness to receive treatment, with good treatment outcomes. The contracted services and management of patients are well implemented. In the future, continuous efforts should be made to improve the prevention, management, and health education of fluorosis patients.
