ABSTRACT
Objective To study the compliance of medical care at public hospitals in China with corresponding clinical pathway for inpatients of community acquired pneumonia ( CAP) . Methods Thirty medical records of inpatients with CAP admitted in 2014 were randomly sampled from 18 public hospitals in Shanghai, Hubei province and Gansu province, for assessment on their compliance with corresponding clinical pathways. Results The average compliance rate of inpatient care of CAP at public hospitals was 65. 1%. The study the lowest compliance rates in both timely examinations/diagnosis and severity assessment within three days after admission (0. 7% and 26. 6%, respectively). The compliance rate of reasonable initial antibiotic use was 48. 5%. Conclusions The compliance rate of inpatient care of CAP is low in China. Thus admission examinations, patient severity assessment and antibiotic utilization should be enhanced accordingly for their compliance.

ABSTRACT
Objective To study severe or rare complications following radiofrequency ablation (RFA) for liver cancer. Methods Clinical records of severe or rare complications following RFA in 272 cases of liver cancer from January 2002 to December 2004 were retrospectively studied. Results A total of 301 RFA procedures were performed in the 272 cases. The incidence of severe or rare complications was 3.32% (10/301), and the death rate was 0.66% (2/301). Complications included 1 case of intraperitoneal hemorrhage, 2 cases of infection (1 case of peritonitis with sepsis and 1 case of liver Abscess superimposed upon bilioma), 3 cases of upper gastrointestinal bleeding (including 1 case of hemobilia), 1 case of hepatic arteriovenous fistula, 1 case of hemo-pneumothorax, 1 case of esophagopleural fistula and 1 case of needle-tract implantation of tumor. Conclusions In order of frequency,severe complications following RFA are upper gastrointestinal bleeding,infection and intraperitoneal hemorrhage.
