Standardized reporting is a crucial factor affecting the use of patient guidelines (PGs), particularly in the reporting and presentation of recommendations. This paper introduced the current status of PG reporting, including the research on PG content and presentation formats, and provided comprehensive recommendations for PG reporting from aspects such as overall framework, recommendations, presentation format, and readability. First, the presentation of PG recommendations should include clearly defined clinical questions, recommendations and their rationale, and guidance on how patients should implement the interventions; for specific content in the PG, such as level of evidence, level of recommendation, it is recommended to explain in text the reasons for giving different levels of recommendation, i.e., to present the logic behind giving the level of recommendation to the patient; additional information needed in the recommendation framework should be supplemented by tracing references or authoritative textbooks and literature that support the recommendations. Subsequently, the PG text should be written based on the Reporting Checklist for Public Versions of Guidelines (RIGHT-PVG) reporting framework. Finally, to enhance readability and comprehension, it is recommended to refer to the Patient Education Materials Assessment Tool (PEMAT) for translating PG content. To enhance the readability of PGs, it is suggested to present the PG content in a persona-lized and layered manner.

Since the concept of patient versions of guidelines (PVGs) was introduced into China, several PVGs have been published in China, but we found that there is a big difference between the concept of PVG at home and abroad, and the reason for this difference has not been reasonably explained, which has led to ambiguity and even misapplication of the PVG concept by guideline developers. By analyzing the background and purpose of PVGs, and the understanding of the PVG concept by domestic scholars, we proposed the term patient guidelines (PGs). This refers to guidelines developed under the principles of evidence-based medicine, centered on health issues that concern patients, and based on the best available evidence, intended for patient use. Except for the general attribute of providing information or education, which is typical of common health education materials, PGs also provide recommendations and assist in decision-making, so PGs include both the patient versions of guidelines (PVG) as defined by the Guidelines International Network (GIN) and "patient-directed guidelines", i.e. clinical practice guidelines resulting from the adaptation or reformulation of recommendations through clinical practice guidelines.

At present, the process and methodology of patient guidelines (PGs) development varies greatly and lacks systematic and standardised guidance. In addition to the interviews with PG developers, we have sorted out the relevant methodology for the adaptation and development of existing clinical practice guideline recommendations and facilitated expert deliberations to achieve a consensus, so as to finally put forward a proposal for guidance on the process and methodology for the development of PGs. The development of PGs can be divided into the preparation stage, the construction stage, and the completion stage in general, but the specific steps vary according to the different modes of development of PGs. The development process of Model 1 is basically the same as the patient version of the guideline development process provided by the International Guidelines Network, i.e., team formation, screening of recommendations, guideline drafing, user testing and feedback, approval and dissemination. The developer should also first determine the need for and scope of translating the clinical practice guideline into a patient version during the preparation phase. Model 2 adds user experience and feedback to the conventional clinical practice guideline development process (forming a team, determining the scope of the PG, searching, evaluating and integrating evidence, forming recommendations, writing the guideline, and expert review). Based on the different models, we sort out the process and methods of PG development and introduce the specific methods of PG development, including how to identify the clinical problem and how to form recommendations based on the existing clinical practice guidelines, with a view to providing reference for guideline developers and related researchers.

Objective:To investigate the effect of pulmonary vascular dysfunction in the prognosis of patients with acute lung injury (ALI).Methods:Patients with ALI who underwent pulmonary artery catheterization in the department of critical care medicine of Wuhan NO.1 Hospital from June 2017 to June 2019 were enrolled. The general information, clinical and hemodynamic indexes [central venous pressure (CVP), pulmonary artery wedge pressure (PAWP), pulmonary artery systolic pressure (sPAP), pulmonary artery diastolic pressure (dPAP), mean pulmonary artery pressure (mPAP), cardiac index (CI)], acute physiology and chronic health evaluation Ⅱ (APACHEⅡ) score, arterial blood gas parameters [pH, partial pressure of oxygen (PO 2), partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PCO 2), oxygenation index (PaO 2/FiO 2)], whether there was shock or not; ventilator parameters [platform pressure (Plat), positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP)], etc. were recorded. Pulmonary artery oxygen saturation, pulmonary vascular function indexes [transpulmonary potential gradient (TPG) and pulmonary vascular resistance index (PVRi)] were calculated. The relationship between TPG, PVRi and mechanical ventilation time, the length of intensive care unit (ICU) stay, cardiovascular days and 60-day mortality were analyzed in patients with different prognosis of 60-day and whether the TPG increased (≥12 mmHg was defined as elevated TPG, 1 mmHg = 0.133 kPa). Results:A total of 65 patients were included in the study, including 30 males and 35 females; aged (48.9±15.2) years old. Forty-eight cases survived in 60-days, 17 died, and the 60-day mortality was 26.2%. At the baseline, there were no significant differences in cardiopulmonary function measurements, such as CVP, sPAP, dPAP, PAWP, CI, etc. between the two groups of patients with different prognosis. The APACHEⅡ score, shock ratio, TPG and PVRi of the death group were significant higher than those of the survival group [APACHEⅡ: 34±9 vs. 28±11, shock: 52.9% vs. 25.0%, TPG (mmHg): 16.2±1.9 vs. 14.6±2.1, PVRi (kPa·s·L -1): 31.8±4.2 vs. 29.7±3.5, all P < 0.05]. The 60-day mortality of 47 patients with TPG ≥ 12 mmHg was significantly higher than that of 18 patients with TPG < 12 mmHg (34.0% vs. 5.6%), and the mechanical ventilation time and the length of ICU stay were also significantly longer (days: 17±9 vs. 11±8, 16±5 vs. 12±5), and the cardiovascular days also increased significantly (days: 23±7 vs. 18±6), and the differences were statistically significant (all P < 0.05). Pearson correlation analysis showed that PVRi was significantly correlated with mechanical ventilation time, the length of ICU stay and cardiovascular days ( r1 = 0.317, P1 = 0.030; r2 = 0.277, P2 = 0.005; r3 = 0.285, P3 = 0.002). In the individual multivariate Logistic regression model, the highest PVRi was an independent risk factor for the 60-day mortality [odds ratio ( OR) = 30.5, 95% confidence interval was 20.4-43.1, P = 0.023]. Conclusion:Pulmonary vascular dysfunction is common in ALI patients and is independently associated with adverse outcomes.

Objective To explore the factors affecting methylphenidate (MHP)efficacy in children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Methods One hunadard eleven DSM-Ⅳ defined ADHD patients were enrolled for 6 weeks systemic MHP titration treatmnet. ADHD Rating Scale-Ⅳ Home Version (ADHD-RS-Ⅳ) were applied as index of clinical efficacy, and Continuous Performance Task (CPT) as index of cognition efficacy. Determining potential influential factors was analyzed on MPH efficacy including demographic,baseline clinical symptoms and cognitive factors. Results Sixty-five (59.1%) were defined as responders and 45 (40.9%) as non-reponders to MHP, respectively. CPT which were conducted in 87 patient showed that 35 (40.2%) were defined as responders on commission errors, 31 (35.6%) on omission errors and 10 (11.5%) on reaction time. Logistic analysis revealed two potential influential factors that predicted better clinical efficacy (P<0.05): better parental relationship (OR=3.516, 95% CI: 1.087~11.375) and baseline ADHD-RS-Ⅳ score above 35 points (OR=3.075, 95%CI: 1.131~8.359). Higher IQ score was the potential influential factor that predicted better commission errors efficacy (OR=1.085, 95%CI: 1.013~1.162) and omission errors efficacy (OR=1.078, 95%CI: 1.008~1.153). Conclusion MHP efficacy may result in better outcomes in children with ADHD who have higher baseline ADHD-RS-Ⅳ score, poorer baseline CPT result, younger onset age, higher IQ and better parental relationship.

Objective To explore the difference of methylation status of CpG island in promoter re?gion of DAT1 and DRD4 genes between children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder ( ADHD) and normal controls,and further understand the pathogenesis of ADHD from a epigenetics point of view. Methods 111 ADHD patients and 118 normal controls were enrolled in the present study. The demographic data and peripheral venous blood were collected from both groups. Bisulfite genomic sequencing ( BGS) was used to confirm the methylation status of every CpG site in promoter region of DAT1 and DRD4 genes. Results No significant differences were found between ADHD patients and normal controls on percentage of methylated CpG sites in total CpG islands for both DAT1 and DRD4 (P>0.05) . However,the percentage of methylation in No. 17 CpG site for DAT1 and No. 8 CpG site for DRD4 was higher in ADHD patients ( 23. 42% and 64.86% respectively)compared with that in normal controls(11.86% and 47.46% respectively)(P<0.05).In all samples,the percentage of methylated CpG site in total CpG island for DAT1 was higher in males com?pared with that in females(P<0.05),whereas that for DRD4 was higher in females compared with that in males (P<0.05);the same gender difference on methylation level for DAT1 was also found in ADHD patients and for DRD4 in normal controls(P<0.05) . In all samples and in ADHD patients,percentage of methylated CpG site in total CpG island for DAT1 was higher in individuals over 7 years old compared with that in indi?viduals younger than or equal to 7 years old(P<0.05). Conclusions Methylation status of CpG island in DAT1 and DRD4 genes promoter region might correlate with ADHD susceptibility.Methylation status of CpG island in DAT1 and DRD4 genes show differences in different age span and sex.
