OBJECTIVE To explore the construction of selection system for drug directory of the county-level medical community based on multi-criteria decision analysis, and provide decision-making basis for the selection of drug directory of medical community. METHODS Taking county-level medical community in Chongqing as an example,Delphi method and analytic hierarchy process were employed to construct the selection system for drug directory of the county-level medical community. Selected drugs were quantitatively scored based on the constructed index system, and the drug directory was selected according to the drug’s comprehensive score. The implementation effect of the directory was then evaluated through questionnaire surveys one year after the implementation of the directory. RESULTS The expert authority coefficients of the two rounds of consultation were> 0.8, with Kendall’s W values of 0.213 and 0.196, respectively (P<0.001). Finally, the selection system for drug directory of the medical community was determined to include five evaluation dimensions: safety, effectiveness, economy, accessibility, and innovation, along with eight evaluation indicators. In the drug directory selected according to the above method, the proportions of centrally procured drugs, medical insurance drugs, and essential drugs had all increased compared to before the selection; the comprehensive scores of chemical drugs ranged from 50.25 to 96.31 scores, and the proportion of drugs scoring between 70 and 100 scores had increased from 78.06% before selection to 85.82%. Among them, antiparasitic drugs had the highest comprehensive scores, while drugs for the digestive tract and metabolism were the most numerous. The evaluation scores of each indicator and the comprehensive scores of drugs in the drug directory after the selection process increased significantly than before selection (P< 0.05). CONCLUSIONS The selection system for drug directory of the county-level medical community constructed in this study is scientific, objective and operable. This process facilitates the promotion of standardized and unified management of drugs in the medical community.

To analyze the current quality of treatment for hospitalized cancer patients in Beijing, identify major issues in treatment practices, and propose improvements. Nine hospitals in Beijing were selected for examination. Expert on-site interviews and medical record sampling were conducted. The "Beijing Cancer Diagnosis and Treatment Quality Control Checklist" was used to assess the hardware, management, anti-cancer drug therapy, radiation therapy, and surgical treatment during cancer treatment at these hospitals from January to October 2023. The relevant problems were analyzed. Among the nine hospitals, two (22.2%) were equipped with laminar flow rooms, and three (33.3%) had intravenous drug preparation centers. In terms of institutional management, seven hospitals (77.8%) had standardized anti-cancer drug prescription authority management, eight (88.9%) had complete emergency plans, and five (55.6%) had oncology specialist pharmacists. Regarding anti-cancer drug therapy, the areas with higher completion rates included pathology diagnosis support (97.6%), routine pre-treatment examinations (96.3%), adverse reaction evaluation(92.7%), discharge summaries (95.1%), and admission records (91.5%). However, the accuracy of tumor staging before treatment (70.7%) and the evaluation of therapeutic efficacy after drug treatment (76.9%) needed improvement. The oncology specialty significantly outperformed the non-oncology specialty in terms of the accuracy rate of TNM staging (86.0% There remains significant room for improvement in the quality of cancer treatment in China. It is recommended to standardize tumor staging assessment processes, strengthen entry assessments for non-oncology departments, promote the implementation of multidisciplinary treatment models, and establish a multi-department collaborative management model.Continuous monitoring of cancer diagnosis and treatment quality indicators is essential to promote ongoing improvements in cancer treatment quality.

Objective:To explore the application value of different nutritional screening tools in the evaluation of preoperative malnutrition assessment of Crohn's patients. Methods:Using the convenient sampling method, a retrospective analysis was conducted on CD patients who underwent elective surgery at the general surgery department of General Hospital of Eastern Theater Command from January 2021 to March 2022. The preoperative nutritional status of the patients was understood. Taking the consensus on malnutrition assessment diagnosis standards (GLIM) as the gold standard. The correlation, difference and diagnostic efficacy of 3 nutritional risk screening tools were compared. Results:A total of 212 patients were included. Using GLIM as the diagnostic standard, 131 patients (61.79%) had malnutrition. The incidence of malnutrition risk was 66.03%, 85.38% and 55.66% using NRS 2002 score, NS IBD score and PNI score, respectively. The sensitivities of the above three scores in the preoperative nutritional screening of IBD patients were 81.46%, 85.48%, 79.63%, respectively; the specificity were 62.36%, 54.71%, 57.12%, respectively; and the areas under the curve were 0.749, 0.763, 0.831, respectively. In the evaluation of diagnostic efficacy, NS IBD score had the highest sensitivity, and NRS 2002 had the best specificity. Conclusion:For patients with Crohn's disease undergoing elective surgery, the three nutritional risk screening tools can provide a basis for malnutrition risk screening. The items of PNI score are objective, concise, and convenient. As for the evaluation of diagnostic efficacy, the NS IBD score has the highest sensitivity and the NRS 2002 has the best specificity.
