Objective:To systematically review and evaluate prediction models for aspiration risk in enteral nutrition patients, providing a reference for the development and application of future models.Methods:Literature related to prediction models for aspiration risk in enteral nutrition patients was searched in China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang Data, China Biology Medicine disc, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, Embase, and PubMed, with the search period covering from the inception of the databases to August 30, 2024. Two researchers independently conducted literature screening and data extraction, and the PROBAST tool was used to assess the risk of bias and applicability of the included studies.Results:A total of 18 studies were included, involving 24 prediction models, with sample sizes ranging from 103 to 512 and an event rate of 9.46% to 49.87%. The top six predictive variables reported most frequently were baseline age, history of aspiration, length of nasogastric tube insertion, nutritional risk, impaired consciousness, and Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation-Ⅱscore. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of the models ranged from 0.756 to 0.992. Twelve studies reported model calibration, six studies conducted internal validation only, one study conducted external validation only, and four studies performed both internal and external validation. The overall applicability of the 18 studies was good, but the risk of bias was high, mainly due to improper handling of continuous variables and missing data.Conclusions:The aspiration risk prediction models developed in various studies for enteral nutrition patients show good applicability but carry a high risk of bias. Future efforts should focus on further optimizing the model construction process, internal and external validation, and result analysis to provide more reliable and scientific tools for clinical aspiration risk assessment.

Objective To accurately understand the current epidemic status and influencing factors of tuberculosis in Hainan Province, and to provide a scientific basis for preventing and controlling tuberculosis. Methods In 2023, a two-stage unequal cluster random sampling method was employed to select 30 floating points in Hainan Province. Screening for tuberculosis was conducted through symptom investigation, etiological examination, and chest X-ray examination among permanent residents aged 15 years and above. The prevalence rate of active tuberculosis and etiologically positive tuberculosis was obtained and statistically analyzed after correction for the age and gender structure of the standard population. Results In the 30 districts of the province, 35 221 individuals were targeted for screening, with an actual field investigation population of 33 778 and a detection rate of 95.9%. The prevalence rates for active pulmonary tuberculosis, smear-positive pulmonary tuberculosis, and etiologically positive pulmonary tuberculosis were 355/100 000, 63/100 000, and 96/100 000, respectively. Based on this estimation, there are 28 600 cases of active pulmonary tuberculosis, 5 099 cases of smear-positive pulmonary tuberculosis, and 7 772 cases of etiologically positive pulmonary among the population aged 15 and above in the province. The prevalence rate for active tuberculosis exhibited a fluctuating upward trend with increasing age. Except for the age group between ages 30 to <35 years old, the prevalence rate was higher in males than females across all other age groups. Smear-positive pulmonary tuberculosis patients were predominantly concentrated in the age range between ages <35 to <70; both male and female age groups displayed similar trends with three peaks in disease occurrence. The prevalence rates for active, smear-positive, and etiologically positive pulmonary TB among the Li ethnic population were 716/100 000, 121/100 000, and 205/100 000, respectively, which were higher than those in the Han and other ethnic minorities. In rural areas, the prevalence of active pulmonary tuberculosis was 435/100 000, 2.2 times higher than that in urban areas (197/100 000). However, the incidence rate for smear-positivity was slightly lower in rural areas compared to urban areas, while the prevalence of etiologically positive pulmonary TB remained consistent. Conclusions The tuberculosis epidemic in Hainan Province is relatively severe, with certain areas experiencing serious outbreaks. Priority attention is needed for key populations, such as the Li ethnic group. The task of tuberculosis prevention and control is arduous.

【Objective】 To evaluate the clinical value of capsule endoscope in the diagnosis of unexplained abdominal pain. 【Methods】 We made a retrospective analysis of 191 patients with unexplained abdominal pain who sought medical help in our hospital and 25 normal controls. Capsule endoscopy was performed in both groups, small bowel lesions were detected, and clinical data were collected for further analysis. 【Results】 The total small bowel lesion detection rate was 52.87% (101/191) in abdominal pain (AP) patients and 20% (5/25) in the control group, respectively. The detection rate of significant findings (ulcers, erosions, polyps, diverticula, parasites, and neoplastic organisms) was only 16.23% (31/191) in AP patients. In the non-significant findings, no statistical difference in the detection rates for vascular malformation, capillary dilation, and lymphoid follicular hyperplasia were found between the two groups, while the detection rate of intestinal lymphangiectasia was significantly higher in the AP patients (23.56% vs. 4%, P<0.05, OR=7.089). 【Conclusion】 Capsule endoscopy can be an optional choice for diagnosis of unexplained abdominal pain, while the relationship between positive findings and abdominal pain should be further investigated.
