ABSTRACT
Objective@#To assess the effectiveness of seasonal influenza vaccine among children aged 6 to 72 months.@*Methods@#The test-negative case control study was conducted based on available surveillance data which was from China Influenza Surveillance Information system (CSIS). From October 2016 to April 2017 and from October 2017 to April 2018,1 161 cases aged 6-72 months with influenza-like illness in Yongkang and Yiwu city, were selected as the study subjects, and the cases with influenza test-positive were selected as the case group (403 cases). Test-negative subjects were selected as control group (758 cases). The etiology and immunization data of the subjects were obtained from CSIS and Immune Information and Management System (IIMS) respectively. Vaccine effectiveness was estimated using multivariate logistic regression model,and the mixed effects of non-randomized control in TNCC study were equalized by using the propensity score (PS) method in the statistical analysis.@*Results@#The age of the subjects was (2.44±1.60) years,and there were 681 boys (58.66%). The age of case group was (2.62±1.58) years, and there were 246 boys (61.04%). The case group was including of 237 cases (58.81%) of influenza A (H3N2), 92 cases (22.83%) of influenza A (H1N1) pmd09, 62 cases (15.38%) of influenza B(Victoria) lineage, 11 cases (2.73%) of influenza B (Yamagata) lineage and one case (0.25%) co-infection of influenza [A(H3N2)+B (Victoria)]. The mean age of the control group was (2.35±1.61) years,and there were 435 boys (57.39%). Overall vaccine effectiveness (VE) against all type influenza for two seasons combined was 58% (95%CI: 31%-74%). An analysis by age groups showed 68% (95%CI:41%-82%) of the VE estimate among children aged 36-72 months while it was 28%(95%CI:-80%-71%)of the VE estimate among children aged 6-35 months. The VE estimate value was 54% (95%CI:16%-75%) against all type influenza and 65% (95%CI:24%-83%) against influenza A (H3N2) during the 2016-2017 season. During the 2017-2018 season, the VE estimate value was 69% (95%CI:18%-88%) against all type influenza.@*Conclusion@#Influenza vaccine is effective in preventing influenza virus infection during the flu season,especially the effect among children aged 36-72 months is higher compared to that among children aged 6-35 months.
ABSTRACT
Objective To analyze the clinical characteristics and risk factors of feeding intolerance in preterm infants.Methods From March 2015 to February 2017,a total of 156 preterm infants in the Central Hospital of Rizhao were selected.Of them,96 feeding intolerance premature infants were selected as the observation group,and 60 feeding tolerance premature infants were selected as the control group.The clinical characteristics of the two groups were analyzed,and the risk factors of feeding intolerance in preterm infants were analyzed by logistics multivariate analysis.Results In the infants with gestational age ＜30 weeks,abdominal distension(34.6%)and gastric reten-tion(50.0%)had the highest incidence rate.In the infants with gestational age 33 －37 weeks and weighing more than 2 500g,the incidence rate of vomiting (45.0%)was highest.In the infants with open milk time no less than 72h,the incidence rate of vomiting(39.3%),abdominal distension(35.7%),gastric retention(44.6%)were signifi-cantly higher than those of the infants with open milk time less than 72h.In the infants with gestational age ＜30 weeks,the proportion of hypoglycemia(23.1%),significantly reduced body mass(19.2%)were significantly higher than those of the other gestational age,the differences were statistically significant(χ2＝5.682,4.235,3.452,4.763, 5.526,3.984,6.224,5.341,all P＜0.05).Compared with the control group,in the observation group,the gestational age[(30.4 ±1.3)weeks vs.(33.6 ±2.6)weeks]was smaller,birth weight[(1693 ±467)g vs.(1868 ±537)g]was lower,open milk time[(46.8 ±18.8)h vs.(32.7 ±17.7)h]and defecation time[(58.6 ±12.8)h vs.(39.6 ± 10.6)h]were later,the proportion of the use of respirator(32 cases vs.9 cases),premature rupture of membranes (26 cases vs.6 cases),early pregnancy(51cases vs.15 cases)and perinatal diseases(49 cases vs.12 cases)were higher,the differences were statistically significant(t ＝5.675,4.967,9.367,7.678,χ2＝6.523,5.564,6.652, 7.157,all P＜0.05).Logistics multivariate analysis showed that gestational age ＜33 weeks,birth weight＜1500 g, open milk time＞3d,ventilator and preterm infants were independent risk factors for feeding intolerance in preterm infants.Conclusion The common clinical manifestations of feeding intolerance in premature infants include vomi-ting,abdominal distension and gastric retention.Gestational age less than 33 weeks,birth weight＜1500 g,open milk time＞3d,ventilator and preterm infants are independent risk factors for feeding intolerance in preterm infants.
ABSTRACT
Objective This study aimed to describe the sex disparities on cancer incidence and mortality in Jiashan population.Methods All data concerning incident and death cases of cancers were gathered from the database of Cancer Registry in Jiashan county.Data from the 2010 China census was used as the standard population.Sex-specific age-standardized incidence rates (ASIRs),mortality rates (ASMRs) per 100 000 persons for all cancers and types of each cancer were calculated for the years of 1990 to 1999,2000 to 2009,2010 to 2014,and 1990 to 2014.In addition,the corresponding male-to-female incidence rate ratios (IRRs) and mortality rate ratios (MRRs) were also calculated.Results The ASIR of all cancers was 226.13/105 for the whole period of 1990 to 2014,with 266.04/105 for males and 187.22/105 for females,respectivcly.The corresponding IRR was 1.42 (95％CI:1.39-1.46),with significant difference noticed in the incidence rates between males and females (P＜0.05).The ASMR of all cancers was 155.39/105,with 206.55/105 for males and 104.98/105 for females,respectively.The corresponding MRR was 1.97 (95％ CI:1.91-2.03),with significant difference between males and females (P＜0.05).Among all the cancer types,only gallbladder cancer and thyroid cancer showed female predominance in both incidence and mortality,with male predominance in all the remaining cancers.Conclusion Finding from our study suggested that a male predominance in both incidence and mortality for a majority of cancers in Jiashan population.
