Background As climate change intensifies and extreme temperature events become more frequent, non-optimal temperature has emerged as a significant contributor to the global disease burden, representing a pressing public health challenge. Objective To analyze the disease burden, temporal trends, and health inequalities attributable to non-optimal, high, and low temperatures in China from 1990 to 2021, and to compare these findings with global levels to provide a scientific basis for targeted prevention strategies. Methods Using data from the Global Burden of Disease 2021 (GBD 2021), we extracted mortality rates and disability-adjusted life year (DALY) rates, and other indicators attributable to non-optimal, high, and low temperatures by sex, age, region, and cause. Joinpoint regression was applied to examine temporal trends. Decomposition analysis identified driving factors of change, while the slope index of inequality (SII) and concentration index (CI) quantified disparities across socio-demographic index (SDI) levels. Results From 1990 to 2021, the age-standardized mortality rates (ASMR) and age-standardized DALY rates (ASDR) attributable to non-optimal temperature in China exhibited a downward trend, decreasing from 66.48 (95%UI: 58.09, 76.56) to 32.70 (95%UI: 27.26, 39.26) per 100000 population, and from 1219.59 (95%UI: 1056.28, 1418.37) to 493.22 (95%UI: 403.88, 609.32) per 100000 population, respectively. Burdens attributable to non-optimal temperature and low temperature were higher than the global average, whereas the high temperature burden was lower. Males consistently experienced higher ASMR and ASDR attributable to non-optimal temperature than females. Cardiovascular diseases, chronic respiratory diseases, and respiratory infections and tuberculosis were the top three causes of non-optimal temperature-attributable burdens. Decomposition analysis revealed that population aging and growth were the primary drivers of increased burden, while epidemiological changes primarily drove the decline. Health inequalities were most predominant between extreme SDI regions but narrowed over time. Conclusion Despite the overall decline in burden attributable to non-optimal temperature in China, significant challenges remain, including high risks from cold exposure, gender disparities, and the compounding effects of an aging population with cardiovascular or respiratory diseases. Policy makers should prioritize climate change adaptation, focusing on elderly health and regional equity while strengthening the public health workforce.

Paraplegia caused by spinal cord injury is a serious neurological complication, for which surgery is currently the main treatment method. Due to different surgical approaches, patients are usually expected to maintain a passive prone position for a long time or switch between the supine and prone positions. Affected by multiple factors such as neurogenic sensory disorders, pathological changes in muscle tone and operative duration, the risk of intraoperative acquired pressure injury (IAPI) is significantly increased. Current clinical prevention strategies for IAPI in these patients predominantly focus on localized pressure relief during positioning, lacking systematic, standardized comprehensive prevention protocols or evidence-based guidelines. To address it, Department of Nursing, Orthopedics Branch, China International Exchange and Promotive Association for Medical and Health Care, Spinal Trauma Professional Committee, Orthopedics Branch, Chinese Medical Doctor Association, Nursing Group of Spine and Spinal Cord Professional Committee of Chinese Association of Rehabilitation Medicine organized experts in relevant fields to formulate Guideline for the prevention of intraoperative acquired pressure injury in paraplegic patients with spinal cord injury ( version 2025), based on evidence-based medical evidence and latest research results and clinical practice at home and abroad. Eleven recommendations were put forward from the aspects of preoperative risk assessment, intraoperative prevention strategies, postoperative handover and monitoring, and supportive mechanisms for IAPI prevention, aiming to standardize the prevention measures and management strategies of IAPI in paraplegic patients with spinal cord injury and accelerate the recovery of patients and improve the therapeutic effect.
