ABSTRACT
【Objective】 To study the platelet transfusion predictive models in tumor patients and evaluate its application effect. 【Methods】 A retrospective study was conducted on 944 tumor patients, including 533 males and 411 females who received platelet transfusion in the Affiliated Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine of Xinjiang Medical University, the Affiliated Cancer Hospital of Xinjiang Medical University and Kailuan General Hospital from August 2022 to January 2023. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis was used to establish the platelet transfusion predictive models, and Medcalc15.8 software was used to draw the receiver operating curve (ROC) to evaluate the application effect of the prediction model. The actual application effect of models was verified through 162 female clinical cases and 172 male clinical cases. 【Results】 The incidence of platelet transfusion refractoriness in tumor patients was 28.9% (273/944), with 33.2% (177/533) in males, significantly higher than that in females [23.4% (96/411)] (P<0.05). Platelet transfusion predictive models: Y1 (female) =-8.546+ (0.581×number of pregnancies) + (0.964×number of inpatient transfusion bags) + number of previous platelet transfusion bags (5-9 bags: 1.259, ≥20 bags: 1.959) + clinical diagnosis (lymphoma: 2.562, leukemia: 3.214); Y2 (male) =-7.600+ (1.150×inpatient transfusion bags) + previous platelet transfusion bags (10-19 bags: 1.015, ≥20 bags: 0.979) + clinical diagnosis (lymphoma: 1.81, leukemia: 3.208, liver cancer: 1.714). Application effect evaluation: The AUC (area under the curve), cut-off point, corresponding sensitivity and specificity of female and male platelet transfusion effect prediction models were 0.868, -0.354, 68.75%, 89.84% and 0.854, -0.942, 81.36%, 77.53%, respectively. Actual application results showed that the sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of female and male model were 89.47%, 92.74%, 91.98% and 83.72%, 91.47%, 89.53%, respectively. 【Conclusion】 There is high incidence of platelet transfusion refractoriness in tumor patients, and the predictive model has good prediction effect on platelet transfusion refractoriness in tumor patients, which can provide reliable basis for accurate platelet transfusion in tumor patients.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE@#To explore the high-risk factors of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) formation in patients after spinal cord injury (SCI) and to provide some reference value for the prevention of DVT.@*METHODS@#Eighty-five patients with spinal cord injury caused by thoracolumbar burst fracture from January 2016 to December 2017 were selected as subjects. All patients were followed up for 6 months, of which 5 cases were lost and 80 cases were finally included. According to whether there was deep vein thrombosis, the patients were divided into DVT group (35 cases) and control group (45 cases). The clinical data were statistically analyzed by SPSS 22.0 statistical software, and the high-risk factors of spinal cord injury were analyzed by multivariate Logistic regression.@*RESULTS@#Thirty-five of the 80 patients with spinal cord injury developed deep venous thrombosis (incidence rate was about 43.7%). The average age of DVT group [(47.77±10.76) years ] was higher than that of non-DVT group [(37.35±10.20) years ], and there was a significant difference between two groups (=19.56, 45 years [=1.665, 95% CI (1.102-2.516)], diabetes history [=3.273, 95% CI (1.291-8.295)], smoking history [=3.302, 95% CI (1.267-8.605)], spinal cord injury ASIA grade A [=5.736, 95% CI (3.152-11.74)], non-limb air pressure therapy and ankle pump exercise [ OR=3.013, 95% CI (0.116-0.789)] was statistically significant (45 years, history of diabetes, smoking history, and ASIA grade A of spinal cord injury is present, preventive measures should be taken in advance, it is of great significance to prevent the formation of deep vein thrombosis.
ABSTRACT
Objective To study and analyze the risk factors in children with type 1 diabetes and formulate preventive health measures. Methods A total of 112 children with type 1 diabetes treated in our hospital from January 2017 to October 2019 were selected as the type 1 diabetes group, and 50 healthy children who underwent physical examination during the same period were selected as the control group. Multifactor logistic regression analysis was used to analyze predisposing factors of type 1 diabetes in children, and preventive health measures was proposed. Results The results of multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated that maternal age, passive smoking during pregnancy, milk feeding time, and children's respiratory infections were independent risk factors for children with type 1 diabetes (OR: 6404, 6.903, 6.417, 8.256, P <0.05). Conclusion Maternal age, passive smoking during pregnancy, milk addition time, and children's respiratory infections were independent risk factors for children with type 1 diabetes. Strengthening health education, breastfeeding as soon as possible, and preventing respiratory infections can help reduce the incidence of children with type 1 diabetes.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE@#To demonstrate the regularity of velopharyngeal function recovery after primary cleft palatoplasty and its correlation with different surgical procedures, ages, cleft types, and follow-up times.@*METHODS@#Patients with cleft palate under 5 years old who had more than two follow-up records were included in this study, and consecutive evaluations of postoperative velopharyngeal function were performed. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis were used to reveal the regularity of postoperative velopharyngeal function and the possible influencing factors.@*RESULTS@#A total of 165 patients were included. Inconsistent functions of the velopharyngeal closure were observed in 31 patients, of which velopharyngeal insufficiency (VPI) in the first follow-up converted to velopharyngeal competence (VPC) in the second follow-up, accounting for 18.79% of the total, and 134 patients had consistent velopharyngeal function. The patients in the group who had consistent velopharyngeal function were younger than those in the group who were inconsistent, and the differences between the two groups were statistically significant. The younger the operation age, the patient's velopharyngeal function was more likely to stabilize at the first follow-up. At the time of the first follow-up in 15, 28, and 40 months, the probability that the patients had stable postoperative velopharyngeal function was 80%, 90%, and 95%, respectively.@*CONCLUSIONS@#The recovery of velopharyn-geal function after surgery is a dynamic process. The velopharyngeal status of patients can be converted from VPI to VPC. Meanwhile, VPC cannot switch to VPI. The follow-up time is the most important factor affecting the consistency of the evaluation of velopharyngeal function. Choosing appro-priate follow-up time is the key to obtain the stable evaluation of velopharyngeal function.

ABSTRACT
Objective: To explore the occurrence risk and clinical significance of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) level and acute ischemic stroke in middle-aged and elderly population. Methods: The clinical data of 292 hospitalized patients in the Department of Neurology at the No.908 Hospital of the People's Liberation Army Joint Logistics Support Force from Jan. 2016 to Jun. 2018 were retrospectively analyzed, including gender, age, diastolic blood pressure, body mass index, smoking and drinking history, erythrocyte count, brain images, and the level of blood glucose, low density lipoproteincholesterol, high density lipoprotein-cholesterol, total cholesterol, GFR, blood urea nitrogen, blood uric acid, serum creatinine, glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminase, homocysteine. According to the GFR level, patients were divided into normal GFR group and low GFR group. The clinical characteristics were compared between two groups. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis was used to investigate the relationship between GFR level and the occurrence of acute ischemic stroke. Results: The number of patients in normal GFR group and low GFR group was 154 (52.74%) and 138 (47.26%), respectively. Chi-square test or t test analysis showed that there was no significant difference in gender, body mass index, smoking history, drinking history, erythrocyte count, blood glucose, low density lipoprotein-cholesterol, high density lipoprotein-cholesterol, total cholesterol, glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminase and homocysteine between two groups, and significant difference in age, diastolic blood pressure, GFR, blood urea nitrogen, blood uric acid, serum creatinine (all P<0.05). The incidence rate of acute ischemic stroke in normal GFR group and low GFR group was 41.56% (64/154) and 59.42% (82/138), respectively (χ2=9.291, P=0.002). Compared with the normal GFR group, the occurrence risk OR (95% CI) of acute ischemic stroke in lower GFR group was 2.06 (1.29-3.29) (P=0.002) and 2.04 (1.01-4.12) (P=0.047) before and after adjusted the related risk factors. Conclusion: The low GFR levels are associated with the occurrence of acute ischemic stroke in middle-aged and elderly population.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE: This study was designed to examine the pattern of benzodiazepine use in a representative sample of patients with schizophrenia in Korea. METHOD: Data generated by the Health Insurance Review Agency of Korea was used to examine the frequency of benzodiazepine use. Demographic and geographic factors, hospital types in which patients received prescriptions, health insurance coverage, and the number of concomitant antipsychotics associated with benzodiazepine use were explored by multivariate logistic regression analysis. RESULTS: Among the 183427 patients with schizophrenia, the frequency of benzodiazepine use was 67.5% (n=122859). Use of benzodiazepines was highly associated with female patients treated in hospitals located in Gyeonggi, Gyeongsang, and Gangwon provinces, medicaid patients, patients treated in mental hospitals and private psychiatric clinics, and patients using concomitant antipsychotic agents. CONCLUSION: The study demonstrated that benzodiazepine use was highly prevalent among patients with schizophrenia. Long-term use of benzodiazepine may be at higher risk of neurocognitive side effects and risk of mortality. Therefore, patients with schizophrenia taking benzodiazepine concomitantly should be closely monitored for benefits and risks of benzodiazepine use. For the medicaid patients, policy change is urgently needed in order for patients to receive equal quality of treatment with that of non-medicaid patents.
