ABSTRACT
Objective:By analyzing factors associated with lower urinary tract symptoms in middle-aged and elderly women aged 55-65 years old, a nomogram model for lower urinary tract symptoms was constructed to assist the clinical development of targeted interventions to reduce the incidence of lower urinary tract symptoms in this population.Methods:In the cross-sectional study, 798 middle-aged and elderly women aged 55-65 years receiving physical examination in the Health Management Center of Third Xiangya Hospital from November 2013 to December 2020 were selected as research participants.Univariate regression analysis was used to compare differences in the basic data related to lower urinary tract symptoms in the population.Multivariate Logistic regression analysis was used to identify related influencing factors, and a nomogram model for lower urinary tract symptoms in the population was established.Results:Among 798 middle-aged and elderly women surveyed, the prevalence of lower urinary tract symptoms was 81.08 %(647 cases), and the rate of urinary tract infections was 21.48 %(139 cases). Variables with statistical significance in univariate regression analysis were included in multivariate Logistic regression analysis.The results showed that body mass index, vaginal delivery, strength of pelvic floor type Ⅱ fiber muscle, pelvic and abdominal coordination and mental health were independent influencing factors for lower urinary tract symptoms in middle-aged and elderly women aged 55-65 years( OR=1.099, 2.681, 0.895, 0.658, 1.057, P=0.010, 0.030, 0.040, 0.010, 0.038). The monogram model based on the five risk prediction indexes produced a consistency index(C-index)of 0.651 and a diagnostic sensitivity and specificity of 66.9% and 58.9%, respectively.The correction curve showed that the predicted results of the model were essentially the same as the actual probability of condition. Conclusions:In this study, the independent influencing factors for lower urinary tract symptoms in middle-aged and elderly women aged 55-65 years were screened by univariate regression and multivariate Logistic regression analysis and a nomogram model for risk prediction of the population was constructed, was proved to have a good ability for accurately and effectively predicting the risk of lower urinary tract symptoms in middle-aged and elderly women aged 55-65 years, and will assist clinicians to screen for high-risk patients, formulate targeted interventions, and reduce the incidence of lower urinary tract symptoms in middle-aged and elderly women aged 55-65 years.
ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the safety and clinical efficacy of central venous infusions of concentrated potassium chloride corrects hypokalemia by micro-pump in intensive care unit(ICU). Methods The data was analyzed retrospectively on 78 patients with hypokahmia in ICU. They were randomly divided into 2 groups: general group (39 cases) with potassium concentration 40 mmol/L and the rate 10-20 mmol/h,concentrated potassium group(39 cases) with potassium concentration 100-300 mmol/L and the rate 40-200 retool/h, calculating the whole potassium dosage respectively, examining the initial potassium concentration, urine volume per hour, the mean time to aimed potassium concentration and side effect.Results The initial potassium concentration and the whole potassium dosage were no significant difference between the two groups [(2.9 ± 0.2), (3.0 ± 0.2) mmol/L and (85.2 ± 8.7), (92.3 ± 7.6) mmol, respectively](P >0.05). It took longer time reaching the aimed potassium concentration in general group than that in concentrated potassium group [(17.25 ± 4.49) hours and (5.67 ± 0.75) hours, respectively] (P < 0.01).There were no comphcations such as hyperkalemia, fatal arrhythmia and phlebitis. Five patients were bloating in general group. Condusions Under meticulous monitoring, it is effective and relative safely to correct hypokahmia by central venous infusions of concentrated potassium chloride using micro- pump in ICU. The therapy is of clinical value in treating hypokalemia patients.
ABSTRACT
Academic Inspection is not only an important part of clinical teaching,but also a vital tache of improvement for medical treatment quality.Unlike internal medicine and surgery,acdemic inspection of ICU has its own characteristics.PBL teaching method on acdemic inspection of attending doctor in ICU is explored in this article.
