The Compilation Instructions for Expert Consensus on Clinical Application of Dieda Huoxue capsules systematically expound the development methods and evidence-based basis of this consensus. In view of the weak clinical application evidence and ambiguous indications of Dieda Huoxue capsules, the Institute of Basic Research in Clinical Medicine of the China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences and Wangjing Hospital took the lead and collaborated with 33 experts from 28 medical institutions nationwide. They strictly followed the World Health Organization (WHO) guideline-making norms and the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluations (GRADE) evidence-grading system and completed the compilation through multidisciplinary cooperation. The workflow included constructing clinical questions (19 items were screened by the nominal group technique), retrieving evidence (from Chinese and English databases and grey literature), assessing safety (integrating drug monitoring data and clinical investigations), and forming recommendations and consensus suggestions (3 recommendations were reached via the GRADE grid method, and 16 consensus suggestions were reached by the majority vote rule). The results indicate that the consensus clearly states that this medicine (Dieda Huoxue capsules) is applicable to conditions like traumatic injury, blood stasis-induced pain, and sudden lumbar sprains. The recommended dose is 6 capsules each time, twice a day. Combining oral administration with external application can enhance the efficacy, and elderly patients should take the medicine at intervals. Safety monitoring suggests that it should be used with caution in people with a bleeding tendency and those with an allergic constitution. The compilation process involved three rounds of reviews by internal and external experts. Literature analysis, the Delphi method, and clinical applicability tests were employed to ensure methodological rigor. The compilation instructions comprehensively present key aspects such as project approval and registration, conflict-of-interest statements, and evidence evaluation through 12 appendices, providing methodological support for the clinical translation of the consensus. In the future, it will be continuously improved through a dynamic revision mechanism.

Objective:To investigate the risk factors of atrial fibrillation (AF) in patients with typical atrial flutter after radiofrequency ablation.Methods:This study was a case-control study. The clinical data of 120 patients with typical atrial flutter who underwent radiofrequency ablation in Xingtai People′s Hospital from January 2017 to January 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. Patients were followed up every 3-6 months for a period of 2 years, and AF occurred in 30 patients (25.0%). The risk factors of AF were analyzed with univariate and multivariate logistic regressions.Results:The mean age of patients was (62.0±6.5) years and 64(53.3%) were males. No patients in the two groups had complications such as cardiac tamponade, pulmonary embolism and cerebral infarction after radiofrequency ablation. Compared with non-AF patients, patients in AF group had older age and higher CHA 2DS 2-VASC score ( P<0.001). Multivariate regression analysis showed that age ( HR=1.09, 95% CI:1.01-1.17) and CHA 2DS 2-VASC score ( HR=3.84, 95% CI:1.87-7.89) were independent risk factors for the occurrence of atrial fibrillation after radiofrequency ablation in patients with atrial flutter. Conclusion:After radiofrequency ablation of typical atrial flutter, nearly 25% of patients will relapse into AF, old age and higher CHA 2DS 2-VASC score increase the risk of AF recurrent.

Objective:To explore the status quo and influencing factors of nursing staff's nursing informatics competencies and provide reference for the relevant departments of the hospital and nursing managers to cultivate their informatics competencies.Methods:In this cross-sectional study, from July 31 to August 12, 2019, totally 982 nurses from Peking University First Hospital were selected by convenient sampling and investigated with the General Informatics Questionnaire and Nursing Informatics Competency Scale. Multiple linear regression analysis was used to analyze the influencing factors of nursing informatics competencies. A total of 982 questionnaires were distributed in this study, and 982 valid questionnaires were recovered, with an effective recovery rate of 100%.Results:The total score of nursing informatics competencies of the 982 nurses was (125.61±22.79) , including (45.70±9.74) for informatics management ability, (31.83±6.08) for computer operation ability, (20.16±4.07) for computer software management ability, (15.54±3.23) for nursing informatics awareness, and (12.37±2.49) for nursing informatics operation ability. The multiple linear regression analysis showed that age, education, department and whether they had received informatics-related training were the main factors affecting their nursing informatics competencies ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:The nursing informatics competencies of the nursing staff of Peking University First Hospital is satisfactory. Age, education, department and whether they have received informatics-related training may affect their nursing informatics competencies. It is suggested that hospital managers and relevant departments should provide more individualized training for personnel of different age groups, different educational backgrounds and different departments.
