Journal of Public Health and Preventive Medicine 2023;34(3):141-143
Objective To investigate the incidence and risk factors of severe cases of Cox A6 infected with HAND-foot-mouth disease in 1-12 years old children in Enshi city, and to provide reference for prevention and treatment of hand-foot-mouth disease. Methods From January to September 2021, hospitalized children aged 1-12 years with HFMD in Enshi city were collected. The samples of anal swabs and throat swabs were tested for Coxsackie virus A6 (Cox A6) nucleic acid, and the distribution of Cox A6 patients infected with HFMD and the proportion of severe cases in children aged 1-12 years were analyzed. Logistic regression was used to analyze the risk factors of severe cases. Results From January to September 2021, a total of 343 HFMD cases aged 1 to 12 years were reported in Enshi, among which 241 cases (70.26%) were infected with CoxA6. No death cases were reported during the period. The 241 cases of Cox A6 infected with HFMD were distributed from January to September. 129 males (53.53%) and 112 females (46.47%); 208 cases (44.40%) were mainly from 1 to 3 years old, followed by 66 cases (28.39%) from 4 to 6 years old, 45 cases (18.67%) from 7 to 9 years old, and 23 cases (9.54%) from 10 to 12 years old. Cox A6 was mainly infected with HFMD in 145 cases (60.17%) in rural areas and 96 cases (39.83%) in urban areas. 10 cases (4.15%) of Cox A6 infected HFMD were severe cases; There were significant differences in age, fever temperature, fasting blood glucose and fever time between the severe case group and the normal case group (P<0.05). Logistic multivariate regression analysis showed that fever temperature (OR=1.559, P<0.05), fasting blood glucose (OR=2.472, P<0.05) and fever time (OR=2.932, P<0.05) were independent risk factors for the occurrence of severe cases of Cox A6 infected with HFMWD in Enshi. Conclusion The incidence of Cox A6 infected with HFMD in Enshi is mainly concentrated in boys under 3 years old. Clinical treatment of HFMD children should focus on children with high fever temperature, fasting blood glucose and long fever time.

Objective To analyze the predictive value of ensemble classification algorithm of random forest for delirium risk in ICU patients with cardiothoracic surgery. Methods A total of 360 patients hospitalized in cardiothoracic ICU of our hospital from June 2019 to December 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. There were 193 males and 167 females, aged 18-80 (56.45±9.33) years. The patients were divided into a delirium group and a control group according to whether delirium occurred during hospitalization or not. The clinical data of the two groups were compared, and the related factors affecting the occurrence of delirium in cardiothoracic ICU patients were predicted by the multivariate logistic regression analysis and the ensemble classification algorithm of random forest respectively, and the difference of the prediction efficiency between the two groups was compared. Results Of the included patients, 19 patients fell out, 165 patients developed ICU delirium and were enrolled into the delirium group, with an incidence of 48.39% in ICU, and the remaining 176 patients without ICU delirium were enrolled into the control group. There was no statistical significance in gender, educational level, or other general data between the two groups (P>0.05). But compared with the control group, the patients of the delirium group were older, length of hospital stay was longer, and acute physiology and chronic health evaluationⅡ(APACHEⅡ) score, proportion of mechanical assisted ventilation, physical constraints, sedative drug use in the delirium group were higher (P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that age (OR=1.162), length of hospital stay (OR=1.238), APACHEⅡ score (OR=1.057), mechanical ventilation (OR=1.329), physical constraints (OR=1.345) and sedative drug use (OR=1.630) were independent risk factors for delirium of cardiothoracic ICU patients. The variables in the random forest model for sorting, on top of important predictor variable were: age, length of hospital stay, APACHEⅡ score, mechanical ventilation, physical constraints and sedative drug use. The diagnostic efficiency of ensemble classification algorithm of random forest was obviously higher than that of multivariate logistic regression analysis. The area under receiver operating characteristic curve of ensemble classification algorithm of random forest was 0.87, and the one of multivariate logistic regression analysis model was 0.79. Conclusion The ensemble classification algorithm of random forest is more effective in predicting the occurrence of delirium in cardiothoracic ICU patients, which can be popularized and applied in clinical practice and contribute to early identification and strengthening nursing of high-risk patients.

Objective:To analyze the 6-year operation faults of PHILIPS Brilliance big bore CT, identify the common problems, make corresponding maintenance plans, reduce the incidence of failures, and carry out simulation prediction of the occurrence rate of failures in the next few years.Methods:The failure data of Brilliance big bore CT from June 2012 to June 2018 were collected, and the curve estimation function in SPASS 19.0 software and the pareto diagram were used to analyze the relationship between the number of failures, time and failure types, and the prediction was made.Results:A total of 28 faults occurred during the 6-year opeation of Brilliance big bore CT. During the first half year, five times of faults occurred with the highest fault rate and then tended to stabilize. The linear function model was obtained using the curve estimation: y=-0.033 x+ 2.099( y for the number of fault, unit for times, x for the unit of time for half a year), the model of R2=0.003. In the next three years, approximately twice faults occurred within half year. The pareto chart showed that 16 faults occurred during data collection, including 3 faults in the treatment bed and 3 faults in the power supply system, respectively. The accumulative ratio of the above three faults was 71.4%, which were the main fault sources. Conclusion:The fault statistical analysis of Brilliance big bore CT is helpful for department maintenance personnel to better understand CT, develop effective maintenance programs, reduce the occurrence of faults, and predict the incidence of faults in the future.
