ObjectiveThis paper used the AGREE Ⅱ guideline evaluation tool to evaluate the quality of 14 clinical guidelines for acute myocardial infarction,aiming to provide reference for the formulation and improvement of the guidelines. MethodsClinical guidelines and expert consensus related to acute myocardial infarction were searched by web search. The search period ranges from January 1,2019 to November 1,2024 in CNKI,VIP,Wanfang Data,SinoMed,Web of Science,OVID, the International Guidelines Collaboration Network (GIN),the UK National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE),Yimaitong, and other platforms. Three researchers independently screened the literature and used AGREE Ⅱ to score the screening results. After ensuring that the researchers have a consistent understanding of each guideline,the quality of the guidelines was evaluated. After that,the ratings were analyzed by layer according to the issuing agency,category,method of formulation,and funding situation and compared longitudinally by rating time. The clinical guidelines and expert consensus were compared in terms of content and evidence. ResultsA total of 14 guidelines and consensus were included. The results of AGREE Ⅱ in the six areas in descending order were scope and purpose (62.82%±10.43%),rigor (62.40%±12.77%),editorial independence (62.11%±22.26%),participants (61.42%±11.65%),clarity of expression (59.98%±9.62%),and application (52.94%±16.90%) . Eleven of the guidelines were at level B, and three were at level A. In the stratified analysis,the score of the guideline formulated by the Chinese Medical Doctor Association was lower. There was little difference between the scores of Chinese/Western and Western medicine guidelines. The average score of the guidelines was higher than the consensus. Funded guidelines and consensus scores were higher. In the longitudinal comparison,the highest number of guidelines were developed in 2020 and 2021,while those developed in 2023 scored the highest. In the differential comparison analysis,the content of the guidelines was more comprehensive, and the evidence level was higher,while the content of the consensus was more novel, and the evidence was less. ConclusionThe AGREE Ⅱ score of the clinical guidelines for acute myocardial infarction is generally moderate,and there is room for improvement in terms of applicability. At the same time,the content quality of expert consensus should be improved,and more efforts should be made to develop and apply Chinese medicine guidelines for complications such as heart failure and microcirculatory obstruction after acute myocardial infarction.

Objective:To evaluate the prognostic values of parameters from hypothermic machine perfusion (HMP) after static cold storage (SCS) on short-term outcomes of kidney transplantation.Method:From February 2023 to October 2023, the authors retrospectively reviewed the clinical and HMP data of recipients undergoing adult deceased donor kidney transplantation at Xuanwu Hospital, Capital Medical University. HMP resistance and renal arterial anatomical variants were utilized for subgroup analysis. The primary endpoints were delayed graft function (DGF) and whether or not creatine level normalized. The secondary endpoints were the lowest creatine level within 1 month post-kidney transplantation, reduction extent of creatinine level, duration for creatine level to decline to the lowest and duration for creatinine normalization. Single and multiple variable analyses were utilized for examining the correlation between HMP parameters and short-term postoperative outcomes.Result:A total of 157 recipients were included for analysis. Mean serum creatinine level was (870.0±283.9) μmol/L and mean trough creatinine level within 1 month postoperatively (118.5±63.5) μmol/L. Sixteen recipients (10.2%) had delayed graft function (DGF) and creatinine failed to normalize in 10 receipients (6.4%). Average time for creatinine to decline to the lowest level within 1 month was (14.5±7.6) d (3~30 d) and average time for creatinine to normalize (6.4±5.8) d (1~30 d). Multiple variable regression analysis revealed that terminal resistant index was independently correlated with multiple events, including DGF ( P<0.01), whether or not creatinine level normalized within 1 month ( P=0.001), reduction extent of creatinine level ( P<0.01) and duration for creatinine normalization ( P=0.024) . Conclusion:Parameters of HMP after SCS are capable of predicting the short-term outcomes of kidney transplantation. Terminal resistant index is an independent risk factor for several prognostic events.
