ABSTRACT
Objective:To analyze the influencing factors on initial testing qualified rate of condition monitoring of digital radiography (DR) devices in China and provide the scientific basis for key points of national medical radiation protection monitoring work.Methods:The data of quality control detection of DR devices, reported by 31 provinces in 2020, were collected from National Radiation Health Information Platform-National Medical Radiation Protection Monitoring System. Logistic regression was used to analyze the related influencing factors of initial testing qualified rate of condition monitoring of DR devices.Results:The result of logistic regression analysis showed that the nature of radiological health technical service institutions, the level of medical and health institution and the regions where they are located in China were the independent influencing factors of initial testing qualified rate of condition monitoring of DR devices ( χ2=15.41-21.18, P < 0.05). Private institution group ( OR=1.714, 95% CI: 1.310-2.243), tertiary hospital group ( OR=1.710, 95% CI: 1.310-2.232) and secondary hospital group ( OR=1.540, 95% CI: 1.203-1.971) had a higher qualified probability of DR devices, while western region group ( OR=0.670, 95% CI: 0.526-0.852) had a lower qualified probability of DR devices. Conclusions:Supervision on quality control of DR devices should be strengthened, such as strengthening the random inspection and double-check to the devices. And great attention should be paid to the quality control testing of DR devices in the western China and in the primary and ungraded hospitals.
ABSTRACT
This paper introduces the present situation of condition monitoring of medical devices, states main methods of condition monitoring and puts forward the application strategies in hospitals briefly.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the incidence of Keshan disease(KSD) in Shandong province and to supply evidence for scientific control of the disease.Methods According to the scheme of KSD monitoring in Shandong province,the KSD cases were searched in 7 counties,and representative 3 counties and 6 villages were selected as key monitoring sites.In each site,about 420 residents were checked by asking detailed disease history,physical examination,and electrocardiography (ECG) tracings.Suspected cardiac abnormalities were taken chest posteroanterior X-ray film.At the same time,residents hair and food samples were collected to detect selenium levels in internal and external environments,and residents' income and per capita share of grain and other basic information were collected.Results ①Two hundred and fifty-nine medical units were searched,1132 cases of myocardial disease were found out and 638 suspected cases were identified and 142 chronic KSD cases were diagnosed.②In the 6 monitoring sites,2538 residents were surveyed and 91 cases of KSD were detected(of which 77 cases of potential,14 cases of chronic),the detection rate was 3.58％.A total of 2127 residents were traced ECG and the incidence of abnormal ECG was 24.5％ (521/2127),of which ST-T changes,T-wave changes,sinus bradycardia,sinus arrhymia,sinus tachycardia,and atrial premature beats et al were more common.Of the 75 X-ray films,39 cases had enlarged heart(in which 21 of mild,13 of moderate,5 of severe).③A total of 406 hair and grain samples were collected,respectively,and the selenium content of hair was approaching the level of appropriate,and the selenium content of food was still low.The annual per capita incomes of each site were between 3000 - 5900 Yuan,and residents main staple food was flour.Conclusions KSD in Shandong province is in a relatively stable situation.But latent and chronic KSD cases can still be detected.The internal environment selenium levels are elevated since the local living standards and dietary nutrition are improved.
