Objective:To construct a leadership evaluation indicator system for managers in primary healthcare institutions.Methods:This study was a qualitative research. Based on the Chinese Academy of Sciences′ Five Forces Model of Leadership, the framework of the leadership evaluation indicator system for primary healthcare institution managers was initially constructed through literature review, expert interviews, surveys, and group discussions. From November 2020 to June 2021, 19 experts were invited to participate in two rounds of Delphi expert consultations. Based on the consultation results, the leadership evaluation indicator system for primary healthcare institution managers was developed, and the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) was used to determine the weight of each indicator.Results:Nineteen consulting experts were included in the study, 13 of whom were aged 40 years or older, and seven of whom had 20 years or more of professional experience. The response rates of the two rounds of Delphi expert consultation questionnaires were 18/19 and 19/19, respectively; the authority coefficients of the experts were 0.92 and 0.91, respectively. In the second round of consultation, the coordination coefficients of each level of indicators were 0.640, 0.557, and 0.512 ( P<0.05), respectively. The constructed leadership indicator system for managers of primary healthcare institutions included five primary indicators, 16 secondary indicators, and 44 tertiary indicators. The primary indicators, in order of their weight, were "influence"(0.299),"decisiveness"(0.245),"control"(0.156),"inspiration"(0.150), and "foresight"(0.150). Conclusions:This study is a preliminary construction of a leadership evaluation indicator system for managers of primary healthcare institutions, which can be a reference for the training and evaluation of relevant talents.

Objective:To evaluate the reliability and validity of a questionnaire assessing the leadership qualities of primary healthcare institution managers, and to further clarify the current state of leadership development among management teams of community health service centers in Shanghai.Methods:The study was a cross-sectional survey. It was conducted from August to December 2021, and used a stratified sampling method. Using a self-developed questionnaire for primary healthcare institution managers, we surveyed 279 individuals from 10 community health service centers in Shanghai, including management teams, middle-level cadres, general practitioners, and staff from health administrative departments in their respective districts. Leadership qualities were evaluated on five dimensions: inspiration, decisiveness, control, influence, and foresight. Cronbach′s α coefficient and split half coefficient were used to analyze the reliability of the questionnaire, and confirmatory factor analysis was used to assess the structural validity of the scale.Results:The overall Cronbach′s α reliability of the questionnaire for the comprehensive management of community health service centers was 0.96, and the Spearman-Brown split-half coefficient was 0.94. The validity analysis yielded a KMO value of 0.975, the RMSEA for factor analysis was 0.085, and the adaptation indexes all met the model adaptation conditions. Of the 279 participants, 174 were female (62.4%), 257 held a mid-level or higher professional title (92.1%). The overall leadership score of the community health service center management teams was (4.43±0.59), with the dimensions ranked from highest to lowest as follows: inspiration (4.52±0.55), decisiveness (4.46±0.62), control (4.44±0.60), influence (4.42±0.63), and foresight (4.32±0.69). The foresight score was significantly lower than the other four dimensions (all P<0.05). Conclusions:The questionnaire used to assess the leadership qualities of primary healthcare institution managers is reliable and valid. The development of leadership qualities among management teams of community health service centers in Shanghai is unbalanced, with foresight being the weakest dimension.

Objective:To explore potential predictors of refractory Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia (RMPP) in early stage. Methods:The prospective multicenter study was conducted in Zhejiang, China from May 1 st, 2019 to January 31 st, 2020. A total of 1 428 patients with fever >48 hours to <120 hours were studied. Their clinical data and oral pharyngeal swab samples were collected; Mycoplasma pneumoniae DNA in pharyngeal swab specimens was detected. Patients with positive Mycoplasma pneumoniae DNA results underwent a series of tests, including chest X-ray, complete blood count, C-reactive protein, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), and procalcitonin. According to the occurrence of RMPP, the patients were divided into two groups, RMPP group and general Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia (GMPP) group. Measurement data between the 2 groups were compared using Mann-Whitney U test. Logistic regression analyses were used to examine the associations between clinical data and RMPP. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were used to analyse the power of the markers for predicting RMPP. Results:A total of 1 428 patients finished the study, with 801 boys and 627 girls, aged 4.3 (2.7, 6.3) years. Mycoplasma pneumoniae DNA was positive in 534 cases (37.4%), of whom 446 cases (83.5%) were diagnosed with Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia, including 251 boys and 195 girls, aged 5.2 (3.3, 6.9) years. Macrolides-resistant variation was positive in 410 cases (91.9%). Fifty-five cases were with RMPP, 391 cases with GMPP. The peak body temperature before the first visit and LDH levels in RMPP patients were higher than that in GMPP patients (39.6 (39.1, 40.0) vs. 39.2 (38.9, 39.7) ℃, 333 (279, 392) vs. 311 (259, 359) U/L, both P<0.05). Logistic regression showed the prediction probability π=exp (-29.7+0.667×Peak body temperature (℃)+0.004×LDH (U/L))/(1+exp (-29.7+0.667×Peak body temperature (℃)+0.004 × LDH (U/L))), the cut-off value to predict RMPP was 0.12, with a consensus of probability forecast of 0.89, sensitivity of 0.89, and specificity of 0.67; and the area under ROC curve was 0.682 (95% CI 0.593-0.771, P<0.01). Conclusion:In MPP patients with fever over 48 to <120 hours, a prediction probability π of RMPP can be calculated based on the peak body temperature and LDH level before the first visit, which can facilitate early identification of RMPP.

Objective:To survey the quality of medical care and management for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in Shanghai community health service centers.Methods:A questionnaire survey on the institutional capacity for COPD care was conducted among 248 community health service centers in Shanghai from October to November 2023; the contents of self-designed questionnaire included the equipment, drugs, technical support, information exchange and management of COPD in the institutions. At the same time, a questionnaire survey on the knowledge and skill of COPD care was also conducted among half of all physicians selected by stratified sampling from half of the institutions selected by the random cluster sampling, including the knowledge about early screening, diagnosis, treatment and management of COPD, and related training needs .Results:(1)Survey results showed that the most common equipment for diagnosis and treatment of COPD available in community health centers was pulse oxygen saturation detector (97.6%, 242/248), X-ray radiography (96.8%, 240/248) and nebulizer (96.0%, 238/248), The availability of 6-min walking test system, non-invasive ventilator and rehabilitation training instrument in urban community health service centers was higher than that in rural ones ( P<0.05). The availability rates of common COPD drugs in community health service centers were theophylline (91.5%, 227/248), oral glucocorticoid (85.9%, 213/248), intravenous glucocorticoid (81.0%, 201/248), the availability of oral and intravenous glucocorticoids in urban community health service centers was higher than that in rural ones ( P<0.05). The availability rates of COPD diagnosis and treatment techniques were 95.6% (213/248) for pulmonary function test, 93.5% (232/248) for pulse oxygen saturation test, and 53.2% (132/248) for non-invasive respiratory therapy. The availability rate of pulmonary function test, blood gas analysis, non-invasive ventilation and rehabilitation in urban centers was higher than that in rural centers ( P<0.05). Early screening of COPD was conducted in 85.1% (211/248) of community health service centers, the health record system and referral system were established in 66.5% (165/248) and 62.9% (156/248) of centers, respectively; and the establishment of outpatient and referral channels for respiratory diseases in urban areas was higher than that in rural areas ( P<0.05). (2)A total of 1 873 community doctors, aged(38.9±7.8)years and with (15.5±9.1)years of working experience, participated in the COPD knowledge and skill survey. The survey showed that 79.3% participants (1 485/1 873) knew the concept of COPD, 52.6% (986/1 873) mastered the diagnostic criteria, 41.6% (779/1 873) knew the risk factors and 15.5% (291/1 873) mastered the application of glucocorticoids. More than 79% of the community doctors showed the needs for training of knowledge, skills, rehabilitation of COPD and the performance of pulmonary function tests. Conclusion:Availability of COPD diagnosis and treatment equipment in community health center in Shanghai is different, and the availability of basic diagnosis and treatment equipment and drugs is better. The knowledge, skills and management of COPD need to be improved for community doctors, particularly in clinical application of pulmonary function test and active case finding.

Objective:To investigate the prevalence and associated factors of diabetic retinopathy (DR) among diabetic residents in Longyan of Fujian Province.Methods:A investigative research. From January 2022 to December 2023, a total of 10 061 diabetic patients enrolled in the chronic disease follow-up management system from 112 towns and sub-districts in 7 counties and districts of Longyan of Fujian Province were selected as the target population. A questionnaire survey, routine physical examination, vision test, and non-mydriatic fundus photography were conducted. A total of 762 cases with missing height, weight, blood pressure, fasting plasma glucose (FPG), and diabetes duration, and 507 cases with unclear fundus photography were excluded, resulting in 8 792 cases included in the final statistical analysis. DR diagnosis and classification were based on the 2019 International Clinical Classification of DR. The prevalence of DR was calculated for single-eye or double-eye DR cases as 1 case; the more severe eye was used for DR grading in double-eye DR cases. Statistical analysis was performed by grouping based on the presence or absence of DR and dividing into age groups ≤67 years and >67 years. χ2 test was used to analyze factors associated with prevalence; binary multivariate logistic regression analysis was employed to identify influencing factors of DR. Results:Among the 8 792 cases, 888 (10.1%, 888/8 792) were diagnosed with DR (DR group), and 7 904 (89.9%, 7 904/8 792) had no DR (non-DR group). Compared to the non-DR group, the DR group showed significant increases in FPG ( Z=-12.448), diabetes duration ( Z=-18.936), systolic blood pressure ( Z=-4.237), diastolic blood pressure ( Z=-2.881), and body mass index (BMI) ≥24 kg/m 2 ( P<0.001). Significant differences were also found between the two groups in hypertension ( χ2=11.450), hyperlipidemia ( χ2=5.100), kidney disease ( χ2=7.039), family history of diabetes ( χ2=5.025), and regular medication use ( χ2=66.034) ( P<0.05). There were 4 688 cases in the ≤67 years group and 4 104 in the >67 years group. In the ≤67 years group, significant differences in DR prevalence were found for FPG levels ( χ2=111.754), diabetes duration ( χ2=231.658), BMI ( χ2=12.404), systolic blood pressure ( χ2=17.912), regular medication use ( χ2=40.727), hyperlipidemia ( χ2=6.816), and hypertension history ( χ2=6.775) ( P<0.05). In the >67 years group, significant differences in DR prevalence were found for FPG levels ( χ2=59.916), diabetes duration ( χ2=128.362), systolic blood pressure ( χ2=5.183), regular medication use ( χ2=22.097), kidney disease ( χ2=6.251), and family history of diabetes duration ( χ2=4.967) ( P<0.05). No significant differences in DR prevalence were found based on sex, education level, smoking history, alcohol consumption, exercise habits, heart disease history, or other family disease history ( P>0.05). Logistics regression analysis results show that patients aged >67 years, FPG [odds ratio (OR)=1.074, 95%confidence interval ( CI) 1.046-1.102], diabetes duration ( OR=1.088, 95% CI 1.071-1.106), systolic blood pressure ( OR=1.007, 95% CI 1.001-1.013), and kidney disease ( OR=3.617, 95% CI 1.268-10.320) were identified as risk factors for DR ( P<0.05). In patients aged ≤67 years, FPG ( OR=1.088, 95% CI 1.067-1.110), diabetes duration ( OR=1.108, 95% CI 1.091-1.125), and systolic blood pressure ( OR=1.008, 95% CI 1.003-1.013) were identified as independent risk factors for DR ( P<0.05), while BMI ≥24 kg/m 2 ( OR=0.934, 95% CI 0.908-0.965) was a protective factor for DR ( P<0.05). Age, regular medication use, hypertension, and hyperlipidemia were identified as potential confounding factors for DR occurrence. Conclusions:The prevalence of DR among diabetes patients in Longyan of Fujian Province, is 10.1%. FPG, diabete duration, and systolic blood pressure are independent risk factors for DR, while age, regular medication use, hypertension, and hyperlipidemia are potential confounding factors for DR occurrence.
