Objective:To investigate the risk factors for cough-variant asthma (CVA) based on logistic regression analysis.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on 150 patients with CVA (observation group) and 135 patients without CVA (control group) who received treatment at the Department of Respiratory Medicine, Puyang Oilfield General Hospital from January 2021 to January 2024. The risk factors for CVA were screened.Results:Compared with the control group, the observation group showed significantly higher proportions of patients with respiratory tract infections [24.00% (36/150) vs. 10.37% (14/135), χ2= 9.12, P = 0.003], a history of allergic rhinitis [23.33% (35/150) vs. 8.89% (12/135), χ2 = 10.77, P = 0.001], a history of allergic dermatitis [18.67% (28/150) vs. 5.93% (8/135), χ2 = 10.45, P = 0.001], and a first-degree family history of allergies [32.67% (49/150) vs. 15.56% (21/135), χ2 = 11.23, P < 0.001], Additionally, a higher percentage of patients in the observation group had elevated levels of interleukin-1 [32.00% (48/150) vs. 8.89% (12/135), χ2 = 22.83, P < 0.001]. There were no statistically significant differences in gender, body mass index, oxygen environment, or pet ownership between the two groups (all P > 0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that respiratory tract infection [ OR = 1.958, 95% CI: (1.182, 2.658)], allergic rhinitis history [ OR = 3.022, 95% CI: (3.310, 4.316)], allergic dermatitis history ( OR = 3.313, 95% CI: (3.893, 4.725)], first-degree family history [ OR = 5.023, 95% CI: (7.312, 8.138)], and elevated interleukin-1 levels ( OR = 3.050, 95% CI: (2.734, 3.365)] were risk factors for the occurrence of CVA. Conclusions:Respiratory tract infection, allergic rhinitis history, allergic dermatitis history, first-degree family history, and elevated interleukin-1 levels are risk factors for the occurrence of CVA.

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the economic burden of the intensive care unit(ICU)patients due to hospital-associated multidrug-resistant organisms(MDROs)infections based on propensity score matching(PSM)so as to provide evidence-based bases for prevention and control of hospital-associated MDROs infection and improvement of utilization efficiency of medical resources.METHODS A total of 2118 patients who were hospitalized in Zibo Central Hospital from Jan.1,2023 to Dec.31,2024 and conformed to the inclusion and exclusion criteria were re-cruited as the research subjects.The patients with hospital-associated MDROs infections were matched in a 1∶1 ratio by PSM(with the clamp value 0.02).Totally 309 pairs were successfully matched.The length of hospital stay and the costs were observed and compared between the MDROs group and the non-MDROs group.RESULTS The MDROs group was with the length of hospital stay 14.00 days longer than the non-MDROs group after the matching(Z=-5.750,P＜0.001),with the total cost of hospitalization increased by 91,420.84 yuan(Z=-8.271,P＜0.001).With the respect to the medical treatment expenses,the expenses of the MDROs group were higher than those of the non-MDROs group,covering the cost of medical service,therapeutic procedures,nursing,western medicine and TCM,and there were significant differences(P＜0.05).Among the differences in the costs between the two groups,the difference in the cost of western medicine was the most signif-icant(22,182.91 yuan),followed by the cost of clinical laboratory test for diagnosis(19,529.60 yuan)and the cost of therapeutic procedures(16,333.50 yuan).CONCLUSIONS The hospital-associated MDROs infections may lead to the extension of hospital stay length of the ICU patients,which then increases the economic burden.There-fore,it is necessary to strengthen the multidisciplinary collaboration and formulate corresponding measures so as to reduce the risk of such infections among the ICU patients.

Objective:To understand the prevalence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and influencing factors in adults with hypertension in China and provide evidence for the management of CKD in hypertension patients.Methods:The prevalence data of CKD in hypertension patients in China were collected from China Chronic Disease and Risk Factor Surveillance in 2018, the data of 68 829 hypertension patients were analyzed. After complex weighting, the prevalence of CKD in the study population was compared. A multivariate logistic regression model was used to explore the influencing factors of CKD in adults with hypertension.Results:The prevalence of CKD in the hypertension patients was 18.2% (95% CI: 17.4%-19.0%) and increased with age, and the prevalence was 16.4% in men and 20.6% in women ( P<0.001). In different age groups, CKD at stage G1 mainly occurred in those aged 18-44 and 45-59 years, with the prevalence of 10.8% and 7.8%, respectively, while CKD at stages G2 and G3a mainly occurred in those aged >60 years, with the prevalence of 9.4% and 9.7%. Multivariate logistic regression results showed that in the hypertension patients, being aged ≥60 years, being women, smoking (including current and ever smoking), physical inactivity, being underweight or obese, and suffering from diabetes, dyslipidemia and hyperuricemia were the potential risk factors for CKD (all P<0.05). Conclusion:The prevalence of CKD was higher in people with hypertension than in general population in China, and age, gender, smoking status, physical activity level, and suffering from diabetes, dyslipidemia, and hyperuricemia or not were significant influencing factors. It is necessary to strengthen health education and kidney function testing in adults with hypertension and develop comprehensive CKD prevention and control measures targeting high-risk population.

Objective:To investigate the trends in insulin resistance, as represented by the triglyceride-glucose index (TyG index), among Chinese adult residents from 2010 to 2018 and to explore influencing factors.Methods:China Chronic Disease and Risk Factor Surveillance was conducted in 2010, 2013, and 2018, using a multi-stage stratified cluster random sampling method across all 31 provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities) in China. This study sampled 98 712 adults in 2010, 176 534 adults in 2013, and 184 876 adults in 2018, all aged ≥18 years, totaling 406 933 participants. Individuals with a TyG index > P75 were classified as having insulin resistance. The mean TyG index and the prevalence of insulin resistance were calculated for different years, sexes, age groups, provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities), and subgroups for 2018. Linear and logistic regression models were used to test trends in means and rates over time, and multivariate logistic regression models were conducted to analyze potential factors associated with insulin resistance. All analyses were adjusted for complex sampling weights based on the study design. Results:From 2010 to 2018, the mean TyG index among Chinese adults increased from 8.44±0.63 to 8.70±0.64, with significant upward trends observed across different age groups, sexes, and urban-rural residencies (all P<0.001). The mean TyG index was higher among males, urban residents, and those aged 45-59. There were significant differences in the mean TyG indices and prevalence of insulin resistance across provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities) (all P<0.05). Higher insulin resistance prevalence was independently associated with being male, aged ≥45 years, living in urban areas, excessive alcohol consumption, and insufficient physical activity (all P<0.05). Conclusions:From 2010 to 2018, the level of insulin resistance, as indicated by the TyG index, showed an increasing trend among Chinese adults. Males, individuals aged ≥45 years, urban residents, and individuals with unhealthy lifestyles such as excessive alcohol consumption or insufficient physical activity should be the focus of efforts to prevent and control metabolic diseases related to insulin resistance.

Objective:To investigate the impact of the number of cesarean deliveries on adverse maternal and neonatal outcomes.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on 11 904 singleton pregnant women who underwent cesarean delivery at the Third Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University from January 1st, 2019 to December 31st, 2023. The women were grouped according to the number of cesarean deliveries: those undergoing their first cesarean delivery (1CD group, 7 231 cases), those undergoing their second cesarean delivery (2CD group, 3 749 cases), those undergoing their third cesarean delivery (3CD group, 841 cases), and those undergoing their fourth or more cesarean deliveries (4CD group, 83 cases). Differences in clinical characteristics, related surgical procedures, and adverse maternal and neonatal outcomes among the groups were compared. Binary logistic regression analysis was used to assess the impact of the number of cesarean deliveries on related surgical procedures and adverse maternal and neonatal outcomes.Results:(1) During the 5-year period, the total number of women undergoing cesarean delivery in our hospital showed a slight downward trend, while the proportion of women undergoing three or more cesarean deliveries increased. (2) Compared with women undergoing their first cesarean delivery, women in each repeat cesarean delivery group were older, had higher proportions of advanced maternal age and pre-pregnancy body mass index, and had more pregnancies, deliveries, and induced abortions; the incidence of placenta previa, placental implantation, antepartum hemorrhage, gestational hyperglycemia, and failed trial of labor requiring conversion to surgery was higher, while the incidence of premature rupture of membranes was lower; the proportions of ureteral stent placement, adhesiolysis of the pelvic and abdominal cavities, uterine rupture, uterine reconstruction, uterine artery ligation, hysterectomy, postpartum hemorrhage, and postoperative intestinal obstruction were higher, and the amount of postpartum hemorrhage was greater; the gestational age at delivery of neonates was earlier, but the rates of preterm birth at 28-31 +6 and 32-33 +6 weeks of gestation were lower; the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05) for all comparisons. (3) The number of cesarean deliveries was not an independent risk factor for the dose-dependent occurrence of placenta previa (a OR=0.99, 95% CI: 0.98-1.01; P=0.261). In women without placenta previa, the number of cesarean deliveries was not a risk factor for placental implantation (a OR=1.12, 95% CI: 0.90-1.39; P=0.320). However, in women with placenta previa, the number of cesarean deliveries was a risk factor for placental implantation (a OR=4.01, 95% CI: 3.08-5.22; P<0.001). In the overall population, the number of cesarean deliveries was a risk factor for ureteral stent placement, adhesiolysis of the pelvic and abdominal cavities, bladder rupture repair, uterine rupture, uterine reconstruction, uterine artery ligation, hysterectomy, postpartum hemorrhage, and preterm birth (all P<0.05). However, the number of cesarean deliveries was not a risk factor for postoperative intestinal obstruction, admission to the intensive care unit, neonatal asphyxia, admission to the neonatal intensive care unit, or neonatal death (all P<0.05). Conclusions:The number of cesarean deliveries could lead to adverse maternal and neonatal outcomes, but the relationship is not simply dose-dependent. It is speculated that the occurrence of severe adverse maternal and neonatal outcomes is more closely related to maternal complications and comorbidities, as well as whether multidisciplinary comprehensive management was received.

Objective To explore the optimization effect of the nursing pathway driven by the theory of planned behavior(TPB)on postoperative rehabilitation in patients with senile cataract.Methods A total of 100 patients with senile cataract were selected as the research subjects and ran-domly divided into control group and study group using the random number table method,with 50 ca-ses in each group.The control group received routine nursing care,while the study group received TPB-driven nursing pathway intervention in addition to routine care.The postoperative recovery sta-tus,hospitalization expenses,visual quality[Visual Function Index Questionnaire(VF-14)score],self-care ability[Exercise of Self-care Agency Scale(ESC A)score],postoperative complications,and behavioral change intention were compared between the two groups.Results The postoperative visual acuity in the study group was higher,while the intraocular pressure and hospitalization expen-ses were lower than that in the control group.The visual acuity recovery time and hospitalization dura-tion were shorter in the study group than those in the control group,with statistically significant differ-ences(P＜0.05).After the intervention,the VF-14 score and ESC A score in the study group were higher than those in the control group;the overall incidence of postoperative complications in the study group was 4.00％,which was lower than 16.00％in the control group;the scores of each di-mension of behavioral change intention after the intervention in the study group were higher than those in the control group,with statistically significant differences(P＜0.05).Conclusion The TPB-driv-en nursing pathway can effectively optimize the postoperative rehabilitation effect in patients with senile cataract,improve their postoperative visual acuity,visual quality,and self-care ability,thereby enhancing the quality of rehabilitation.
