ABSTRACT
Objective To analyze the prevalence of depression in early pregnancy, explore its possible influencing factors, and provide reference for mental health care during pregnancy. Methods A baseline survey of 9 193 early pregnant women recruited by the Chinese Pregnant Women Cohort Study (CPWCS) program was conducted. Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale was used to assess the depression symptoms in early pregnancy. The χ2 test and multivariable logistic regression were used to analyze the influencing factors. Results The rate of depression in early pregnant women in CPWCS was 46.50%. Multivariate analysis showed that unplanned pregnancy (OR=1.23, 95%CI: 1.12~1.35, P<0.001), passive smoking (OR=1.28, 95%CI: 1.18~1.39, P<0.001), drinking (OR=1.35, 95%CI: 1.12~1.63, P=0.002) and consumption of carbonated or sugary beverages （OR=0.80, 95%CI: 0.73~0.88, P<0.001） were risk factors for depression during early pregnancy, while enough sleep (OR=0.71, 95%CI: 0.57~0.88, P=0.002), moderate-high level of physical activity (OR=0.87, 95%CI: 0.78~0.98, P=0.023), healthy intake of vegetables and fruits（OR=0.60, 95%CI: 0.51~0.70, P<0.001), animal foods（OR=0.82, 95%CI: 0.74~0.91, P<0.001） and milk and dairy products（OR=0.81, 95%CI: 0.72~0.90, P<0.001）were protective factors. Conclusion The rate of depression was high and it was affected by many factors. It is necessary to pay more attention to depression symptoms during early pregnancy and carry out targeted psychological health care during pregnancy.
ABSTRACT
Objective To understand the status of economic burden of maternal health care of pregnant women in China, and to discuss the equity and accessibility of maternal health care during pregnancy among different regions and populations. Methods A total of 9 193 women during early pregnancy were recruited from the Chinese Pregnant Women Cohort Study between July 25, 2017 and November 26, 2018. Information on general condition and economic burden of maternal health care was surveyed. SPSS 25.0 software was used for statistical analysis. Results The median direct medical cost of maternity check-ups for pregnant women was 400 CNY per visit, and the median cost of lost work was 360 CNY per visit. The analysis of the results showed that the median medical expense was highest in pre-pregnant women with BMI 2 (P=0.008). The median medical expense was higher in urban residents than rural residents (Ptrend=0.003). The higher the socioeconomic status was, the higher the direct medical expense was (Ptrend=0.003). The cost of lost work was lower in pregnant women with higher socioeconomic status (P=0.025, Ptrend=0.017). In addition, the medical expense was highest in women living in the eastern part of China (P<0.001). The direct medical expenses (P=0.002) and lost-time expenses of pregnant women in the North were higher than those in the South (P=0.013). Conclusion The problem of equity and accessibility of maternal health care still existed. It is recommended that relevant departments further improve maternal health care services and build a diversified healthcare service system to ensure maternal and child health and promote eugenics.
ABSTRACT
Objective:This paper studied the classification of syndrome and the multi-level expression method of syndrome elements, to realize the processing of syndrome name wiht computer, which could be applied to the research on traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) intelligent auxiliary diagnosis system.Methods:With the guidance of TCM theory combining the syndrome differentiation and syndrome elements theory, the syndrome elements are divided into a more fine-grained way, and the hierarchical division method and multi-level expression method of syndrome elements are put forward. Than to conduct artificial analysis on the syndrome of gynecological diseases to verify the rationality of multi-level expression of syndrome elements. Based on the multi-level expression method of syndrome elements and pattern extraction method of pattern matching,form the extraction method of syndrome elements and through the batch processing of the Clinical Diagnosis and Treatment Term of TCM& Syndrome Part to verify the accuracy of the batch processing methodexpression. Results:Guided by TCM theory, this study divided the constituent elements of syndrome names into two levels and five types containing disease location elements, disease nature elements which includes basic material, etiology, pathological state and conjunctions, based on which the syndrome splitting process is constructed. Based on this, the process of syndrome name elements separation is constructed. Artificial analysis of TCM syndrome names of menstrual diseases and infertility shows that all syndrome names can be divided into one or more disease location elements, disease nature elements, and conjunctions based on that splitting process. The accuracy rate of computer batch processing is as high as 71.4% based on that splitting process.Conclusions:The multi-level representation method of syndrome elements provides a theoretical framework for mass data processing by computer, improves the efficiency and accuracy of data processing, provides a theoretical basis for the construction of training data set of syndrome differentiation model, provides support for TCM syndrome differentiation reasoning model, and can be applied to the research of TCM intelligent auxiliary diagnosis system.
ABSTRACT
Objective@#To explore oral health care behavior and related factors among women in their 1st trimester.@*Methods@#Our analysis included 7 014 women in their 1st trimester aged 16 years or above from the baseline survey of the Chinese Pregnant Women Cohort Study (CPWCS). Data on socio-demographic characteristics and oral health care behavior were collected using an electronic questionnaire. Multiple-factors Logistic regression was used to analyze factors associated with oral health care behavior.@*Results@#The results revealed that 5 134 (73.20%), 2 482 (35.39%), and 1 046 (14.91%) pregnant women brushed their teeth twice a day or more, never had an oral examination, and used special oral care products for pregnant women, respectively. The frequency of brushing teeth and oral examination was positively associated with age and annual household income. Compared to unemployed pregnant women with rural registered residences and low education levels, highly educated and employed pregnant women with city registered residences had a higher frequency of brushing teeth and undergoing oral examination. Pregnant women with depressive symptoms had a lower frequency of brushing teeth (OR=0.73, 95% CI: 0.65-0.81), while those with medical insurance underwent more frequent oral examination (OR=1.19, 95% CI: 1.02-1.39). Compared to pregnant women who were unaware of the risk of gingivitis, those who believed gingivitis to be harmful to both themselves and their fetus had a higher frequency of brushing teeth and oral examination and were more likely to use special oral care products.@*Conclusion@#Most pregnant women did not pay attention to the need for oral examinations and special oral care products. Their oral health behavior was associated with socioeconomic status, depressive symptoms, and awareness of the importance of oral health. Therefore, oral health care before and during pregnancy was required to help them improve their self-care behavior.
ABSTRACT
Objective The analysis of correlation between the occurrence of tourette syndrome with one-child family environment. Methods The authors investigated home environment of two groups. One group included 200 patients with tourette syndrome and is the other group included healthy children of the same age in 3 different primary and secondary schools. By comparing with the home environmental factors, parenting styles and parent emotional factors between two groups. Results The instabilities of home environment included bad family relationship, separation between parents, divorce, scolding and even beating children. It showed that anxiety of the direct supervisors among the sickness group were higher than healthy control group as well. Among the ten factors of the Family Environments Scale, the significant differences showed in six factors of affection,cohesion,expressiveness, conflict, intellectual-culture orientation, active-recreational orientation, organization between the two groups. Conclusion So we concluded that ①There is a correlation between the parents relations,parenting styles and the incidence of tourette syndrome; ②An anxiety of the direct supervisor may initiate, even aggravate the incidence of tourette syndrome; ③It is important to convert the education mode and take family overall treatment in order to reduce the incidence and improve the effectiveness of tourette syndrome.
