To analyze inpatient mortality cases in a tertiary general hospital in Beijing based on diagnosis-related groups (DRG), with the aim of providing references for healthcare quality management. We retrospectively collected DRG data of hospitalized patients admitted to a tertiary general hospital in Beijing from January 1, 2015, to December 31, 2023. Mortality cases were analyzed according to mortality risk stratification, with a focus on the temporal trends, departmental distribution, and DRG composition of low/medium-low mortality risk cases. Among 927 304 DRG-classified hospitalizations, 2346 cases resulted in death (stratified into 130 low-risk, 209 medium-low-risk, 411 medium-high-risk, and 1596 high-risk cases), yielding an overall mortality rate of 0.25%. The mortality rates were 0.02% (130/680 939) in the low-risk group and 0.16% (209/130 449) in the medium-low-risk group. From 2015 to 2023, the mortality rate showed a significant downward trend ( Critical care units accounted for the highest proportion of mortality cases, with surgical patients having complications/comorbidities representing the major DRG-related factors for low/medium-low-risk deaths. Hospitals should prioritize these findings by identifying areas for improvement, implementing multidisciplinary case reviews, and strengthening patient safety measures.

As a practical carrier for promoting the tiered diagnosis and treatment model, the medical consor-tium is of great significance for balancing medical resources and boosting medical service efficiency. The construction of medical consortiums not only improves the accessibility of high-quality medical resources for patients, but also enhances the diagnostic and treatment level of member units. Meanwhile, it provides space for the leading hospital to adjust the structure of diseases and improve the level of discipline construction. As the core of medical insurance payment reform, DRG, through indicators such as the case mix index(CMI) and the number of diagnosis related group (DRG), provides objective and quantified data support for case management and disease structure optimization, thus effectively guiding the rational allocation of medical resources and the adjustmentof diseases and surgical types within the medical consortium. Comprehensive use of DRG evaluation indicators can construct a multidimensional medical consortium construction evaluation system, provides a clear direction for medical consortium cooperation, thereby promoting the overall healthy and sustainable development of medical consortiums and achieving a win-win situation for all parties involved. This paper, based on the "1+5+1" medical consortium cooperation model centered around Peking Union Medical College Hospital, utilizes DRG indicators to analyze the benefits for patients, member hospitals, and the leading hospital during the medical consortium construction process, with the hope of providing reference for the construction of a medical consortium evaluation system.

To analyze the disease group structure and its trends in key departments of large public hospitals using diagnosis related group (DRG) data, explore the key points of intervention and optimization of disease groups in departments, and further promote the rational allocation of department resources. We retrospectively collected DRG data from two surgical departments in a large public hospital in Beijing from 2017 to 2023. When the case mix index (CMI) of the two surgical departments declined, interventions such as performance appraisal, department education, and hospital publicity were promptly adopted. The changesin CMI values were observed and the trends in disease group weights, time consumption index, cost consumption index, and mortality rate in low-risk groups were analyzed. After the interventions, in surgical department Ⅰ, the proportion of patients with lower-weight diseases, such as major thyroid surgery (KD1), significantly decreased, while that of patients with higher-weight diseases, such as colorectal malignancy surgery (GB2) and pancreatic malignancy surgery (HB1), significantly increased. In surgical department Ⅱ, the proportion of patients with lower-weight diseases, such as chemotherapy (RE1), decreased markedly, while that of patients with higher-weight diseases, including major surgery for malignancy of kidney, ureter, and bladder (LA1), adrenal gland surgery (KC1), surgery for kidney/ureter/bladder except for major malignancy surgery (LB1), and male genital organ malignancy surgery (MA1), increased significantly. Both surgical departments achieved the goal of increasing their CMI values. In terms of efficiency, cost, and quality indicators, the time consumption index and cost consumption index of the two surgical departments were significantly lower than 1, and the mortality rate in low-risk groups was 0. Based on actual conditions and development goals, large public hospitals can achieve improvements in CMI values and optimization of disease group structures through reasonable interventions, thereby enhancing medical efficiency and rational utilization of resources.

In July 2024, the National Healthcare Security Administration issued "Notice on Printing and Distributing the 2.0 Edition Grouping Scheme for Diagnosis Related Group(DRG) and Disease-based Payment and Further Advancing Related Work, " marking the official entry of China's DRG payment reform into the 2.0 era. In the 2.0 edition of the DRG grouping scheme, the number of DRGs has increased by six groups, and that of the adjacent DRGs has increased by 33 groups, featuring more scientific and reasonable grouping that aligns better with clinical practice. The National Healthcare Security Administration has also clarified five supporting management mechanisms, including the special case negotiation mechanism, the fund prepayment mechanism, the negotiation and consultation mechanism, the feedback mechanism for opinion collection, and the data disclosure mechanism. These are aimed at optimizing the management of DRG payment reform to ensure a win-win situation for medical institutions, healthcare security departments, and patients. The release of the DRG 2.0 edition provides medical institutions with more refined management tools and a more reasonable paymentmechanism. Medical institutions need to actively embrace this reform, optimize internal management, and improve service quality to achieve cost control and efficiency enhancement, ultimately leading to a win-win situation for patients, healthcare security funds, and medical institutions.

Objective:To investigate the relationship between gestational weight gain (GWG) in twin pregnancies and adverse perinatal outcomes.Methods:This retrospective study included twin pregnant women with live births at≥25 weeks of gestation and their offspring, who delivered at Peking University People's Hospital from January 2012 to October 2022. Total GWG was standardized according to gestational age and categorized into three groups based on the 2009 Institute of Medicine (IOM) guidelines: insufficient GWG (GWG below IOM recommendations), appropriate GWG (GWG within IOM recommendations), and excessive GWG (GWG above IOM recommendations). Comparisons between data of the three groups used analysis of variance, Kruskal-Wallis test or Bonferroni correction or Chi-square partitions. Multivariable logistic regression models and generalized estimating equations with logistic regression models were used to analyze the independent effects of GWG on maternal and neonatal outcomes. Results:A total of 794 twin pregnant women and their 1 588 live-born neonates were included in the study. There were 360 women (45.3%) with appropriate GWG, 356 (44.8%) with insufficient GWG, and 78 (9.8%) with excessive GWG. Both insufficient and excessive GWG were associated with an increased risk of preterm birth [adjusted ORs of 1.39 (95% CI: 1.04-1.88) and 1.70 (95% CI: 1.05-2.78), respectively]. Insufficient GWG was associated with an increased risk of gestational diabetes mellitus (adjusted OR=1.42, 95% CI: 1.00-2.01) and low birth weight infants (adjusted OR=2.04, 95% CI: 1.57-2.66). Insufficient GWG was also associated with a reduced risk of eclampsia or preeclampsia (adjusted OR=0.50, 95% CI: 0.33-0.75), cesarean section (adjusted OR=0.48, 95% CI: 0.30-0.77), discordant twin growth (adjusted OR=0.56, 95% CI: 0.37-0.85), and large for gestational age infants (adjusted OR=0.46, 95% CI: 0.35-0.61). Excessive GWG was associated with an increased risk of eclampsia or preeclampsia (adjusted OR=2.85, 95% CI: 1.65-4.91), and large for gestational age infants (adjusted OR=2.49, 95% CI: 1.60-3.86), while with a decreased risk of low birth weight infants (adjusted OR=0.42, 95% CI: 0.27-0.65). Conclusions:More than half of the twin pregnancies have GWG outside the recommended range of the IOM guidelines. Both insufficient and excessive GWG are associated with adverse perinatal outcomes, particularly an increased risk of preterm birth.
