ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the changing trend and epidemiological characteristics of the incidence and mortality of chronic kidney disease (CKD) with age, period and birth cohort in Chinese population. Methods Based on the data of incidence and mortality of CKD in Chinese population aged 20-80 years from 1990 to 2019 in GHDx database, joinpoint regression model was used to analyze the incidence and mortality trend of CKD. An age-period-cohort model was constructed to analyze the effects of age, period, and birth cohort on the trend of CKD incidence and mortality. Results Joinpoint regression analysis showed that the standardized incidence rate of chronic kidney disease in Chinese population increased from 146.37/100 000 in 1990 to 161.52/100 000 in 2019, while the standardized mortality rate decreased from 12.98/100 000 in 1990 to 11.23/100 000 in 2019. The APC model analysis showed that the risk of CKD incidence and death in the Chinese population increased with age, while the risk of CKD incidence increased with the increase of period. The risk of death did not change significantly with the increase of period. The cohort born later had a lower risk of CKD incidence and death compared to the cohort born earlier. Conclusion At present, the age effect and period effect of the incidence and death risk of chronic kidney disease in China are dominant. It is important to take effective measures and intervene in a timely manner, especially to strengthen the protection of older high-risk groups born earlier.
ABSTRACT
Background: Pulmonary tuberculosis is still a public health problem, and surveillance data analysis has not been done much. Recently a global pandemic of COVID-19 has the potential in disturbing TB elimination pro-grams and treatment. This study aims to comprehensively analyse the incidence rate (IR) and Case Fatality Rate (CFR) of pulmonary tuberculosis in East Java from 2015–2020 and during COVID-19 and the strategies for optimizing tuberculosis disease control. Methodology: The study analyzed annual surveillance data using an analytical descriptive design. The Varia-bles were analyzed with Spearman correlation with a level of evidence of 95% (p<0.05). Results: The prevalence of pulmonary tuberculosis in East Java fluctuated from 2015–2020. In 2020 and dur-ing the COVID-19 pandemic, the number of cases and morbidity rates increased. Statistic results confirm the presence of a significant correlation between the values of Incidence rate (IR) and Case Fatality rate (CFR) (p = 0.032), IR and Treatment Success Rate (TSR) (p = 0.020), and CFR and TSR (p = 0.002). Population density is not correlated with the number of new cases (p = 0.667). Treatment rates have increased to 51%; cure and treatment rates have decreased to 76% and 89%, respectively, and there was a 4% increase in mortality dur-ing COVID-19. Conclusions: COVID-19 has tremendously affected the treatment of pulmonary TB cases in East Java, Indone-sia by increasing the incidence rate and decreasing the fatality rate. The pandemic promotes fear in the com-munity to check their medical status and improve the quality of their health in East Java.
ABSTRACT
Abstract Objectives To investigate the changes in the coagulation function and hemodynamic parameters in patients with Hemorrhagic Traumatic Shock (HTS) after restrictive fluid resuscitation. Methods A total of 139 patients with HTS admitted to our hospital were enrolled, among which 69 HTS patients were divided into the control group and the remaining 70 HTS patients as the observation group. Patients in the control group underwent regular fluid resuscitation, while those in the observation group underwent restrictive fluid resuscitation. Results During treatment, 70 patients in the observation group had a lower bleeding amount, infusion amount, and blood transfusion volume than those in the control group (p < 0.05). After treatment, patients in the observation group had better hemodynamic parameters and blood coagulation than those in the control group (p < 0.05), and the incidence rate in the observation group was only 12.9%, which was significantly lower than 60.87% in the control group, while the cure rate in the observation group was 100%, which was significantly higher than that in the control group (p < 0.05). Conclusions Restrictive fluid resuscitation could remarkably increase the cure rate and reduce the bleeding amount during HTS treatment, thereby benefiting the recovery of the patient's blood coagulation.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate the risk factors of moderate to severe pain in patients with non-small cell lung cancer within 3 days after lobectomy.Methods:The clinical data of 297 patients with non-small cell lung cancer who underwent lobectomy in the Department of Thoracic Surgery, Sun Yat-sen University Cancer Center from December 2020 to June 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. A numerical rating scale was used to score the most severe pain within 3 days after surgery. Pain score ≥ 4 was defined as moderate to severe pain. The risk factors for moderate to severe pain were analyzed by binary Logistic regression. General linear model repeated measures and linear mixed models were used to analyze the trend of risk factors influencing postoperative pain with time.Results:The incidence of moderate to severe pain was 34.2% (102/297), 59.8% (178/297), 66.4% (198/297), and 28.2% (84/297) on days 0, 1, 2, and 3 after surgery respectively. The risk for moderate to severe pain was significantly higher in patients undergoing thoracotomy than patients undergoing thoracoscopic surgery on days 1 ( OR = 1.99, P = 0.009), 2 ( OR = 3.08, P < 0.001), and 3 ( OR = 3.88, P < 0.001) after surgery. However, the risk for moderate to severe pain in patients undergoing thoracotomy was slightly, but not significantly, higher than that in patients undergoing thoracoscopic surgery ( OR = 1.53, P = 0.087). The risk for moderate to severe pain was higher in female patients than male patients on day 2 ( OR = 1.62, P = 0.077), and in particular on day 3 after surgery ( OR = 2.39, P = 0.002). Prophylactic use of parecoxib significantly reduced the risk of moderate to severe pain on day 0 ( OR = 0.32, P = 0.004), 1 ( OR = 0.20, P < 0.001), 2 ( OR = 0.36, P < 0.001) and 3 ( OR = 0.56, P = 0.047). Conclusion:The incidence of moderate to severe pain on days 1 and 2 after lobectomy was relatively high in patients with non-small cell lung cancer. Patients undergoing thoracotomy have a higher risk of moderate to severe pain than those who underwent thoracoscopic surgery. Female patients have a higher risk for moderate to severe pain on days 2 and 3 after surgery than male patients. Prophylactic use of parecoxib can decrease the risk for moderate to severe pain in patients with non-small cell lung cancer.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the tendency of viral hepatitis in Changning District, Shanghai, and to provide scientific evidence for decision-making of prevention and control. Methods Cases of viral hepatitis in Changning District from 2009-2019 were collected , and the epidemiological characteristics of viral hepatitis were analyzed by descriptive epidemiological method. Joinpoint regression analysis were used to estimate the annual percent change and average annual percent change, and to perform the trend test. Results Among the 2009-2019 in Changning District, a total of 3 397 cases of viral hepatitis were reported , the annual average incidence rate was 49.32/100 000. Results from Joinpoint trend analysis indicated that the incidence of viral hepatitis in Changning District was mainly due to hepatitis A and hepatitis B. Conclusions Although the annual incidence rate of viral hepatitis in Changning District is far below the incidence rate of viral hepatitis in China, but it still shows an increasing trend. This shows that the situation of prevention and control of viral hepatitis in Changning is still serious, and hepatitis B remains the key point of prevention of viral hepatitis in Shanghai.
ABSTRACT
ObjectiveTo evaluate the caries prevention effect of different fluoride application frequencies in 3-year-old children with active caries. MethodsA total of 337 3-year-old children with dental caries from 12 kindergartens in Changning District of Shanghai were divided into three groups： group 1 received fluoride application once every three months， group 2 received fluoride application once every six months， and the control group received no fluoride application. At baseline， parents completed a questionnaire survey， and oral examinations were conducted at baseline， 7 months， and 16 months after the fluoride intervention to assess the incidence of new dental caries， new dmft， and new dmfs of children. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the relationship between fluoride application and new dental caries， with new dental caries as the dependent variable and local fluoride application， child's gender， age in months， parents' highest education level， frequency of sugary intake （desserts， candies， sweet beverages）， age of toothbrushing initiation， frequency of daily toothbrushing， use of fluoride toothpaste， parental assistance in child’s toothbrushing， and daily use of dental floss as the independent variables. ResultsThere were no significant differences in baseline general conditions and oral health behaviors among group 1 （121 cases）， group 2 （123 cases） and the control group （93 cases） （all P>0.05）. After 16 months' intervention， three children were lost to follow-up due to transferring schools. The new caries rates of group 1 （120 cases）， group 2 （121 cases） and the control group （93 cases） were 5.83%， 24.79% and 52.69%， respectively. The incidence of new caries was significantly lower in group 1 compared to group 2 and the control group （P<0.001）， and it was also significantly lower in group 2 compared to the control group （P<0.001）. The newly-increased caries of group 1， group 2 and the non-fluoride control group were all 0.12 0.52， 0.36 0.68 and 1.16 1.39， respectively. The mean increment of new caries was lower in group 1 compared to group 2 （P=0.040） and the non-fluoride control group （P<0.001）， and it was lower in group 2 compared to the non-fluoride control group （P<0.001）. After adjusting for factors such as gender， parents' education level and child's oral health behaviors by multivariate logistic regression， the results showed that fluoride application once every three months could significantly reduce the risk of dental caries （OR=0.04， P<0.001）. ConclusionLocal use of fluoride has a certain effect on the prevention and treatment of dental caries in children with active caries. Fluoride application once every three months effectively reduces the incidence of new caries and slows down the progression of caries lesions. It is suggested that local application of fluoride should be implemented once every three months for children with active caries.
ABSTRACT
@#Objective To understand the epidemiological characteristics of rubella in Liaoning Province in 2019,and analyze the epidemiological characteristics of rubella virus genotypes and gene subtypes at molecular level.Methods By collecting the incidence data of rubella in Liaoning Province in 2019 from the national notifiable infectious diseases reporting system,the epidemiological characteristics of rubella were analyzed.At the same time,the measles/rubella laboratory network of Liaoning Province was used to collect throat swab samples from suspected rubella outbreaks and sporadic cases.After three generations of blind transmission of positive samples,rubella virus isolates were obtained.Viral nucleic acid was extracted,amplified and the 739 bp nucleotide fragment sequence of E1 gene of positive rubella virus isolates was determined.The phylogenetic tree was constructed with the genotype reference strain sequences recommended by WHO and the published gene subtype reference strain sequences.The genotypes and subtypes were compared and the amino acid variation sites were analyzed.Results The reported incidence of rubella in Liaoning Province in 2019 was 0.927/100 000,which showed an obvious trend of recovery after a significant decrease in the incidence of rubella from 2017 to 2018,and the age of rubella patients was mainly 15 to 19 years old.A total of 55 rubella virus strains were isolated from 7 cities in Liaoning Province in 2019.Sequence phylogenetic analysis showed that all rubella isolates belonged to 1E-L2 gene subtype,which was also the dominant gene subtype of rubella epidemic in China.The nucleotide and amino acid homology among the strains were 99.051%～99.864% and 98.780%～100% respectively.Compared with the BRD-Ⅱ vaccine strain,the rubella isolates mainly showed A333T mutation and showed highly conserved amino acid sequence.Conclusion The 2019 rubella isolates in Liaoning Province were all 1E-L2 gene subtypes,which led to the resurgence of rubella epidemic.Therefore,molecular epidemiological surveillance of rubella virus should be further strengthened to provide a basis for the formulation and elimination of rubella prevention and control measures in Liaoning Province.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To explore the establishment of a surgical complication monitoring mode based on data on the medical record homepage, and analyze its impact on the trend of changes in surgical complication incidence.Methods:A monitoring mode of surgical complication was developed based on the " structure-process-results" framework by using surgical complication rates derived from performance appraisal for a tertiary general hospital in Guangzhou. The number of surgical complications and the number of discharged surgical patients was collected from the hospital from January 2019 to June 2022 through the home page collection system for performance appraisal of national tertiary public hospitals. Descriptive analysis was used to analyze the incidence of surgical complications, and Joinpoint regression was used to analyze the trend of changes in the incidence of surgical complications. Monthly percentage change ( MPC) and average monthly percentage change ( AMPC) were calculated. Results:Since the hospital began implementing the surgical complication monitoring mode in May 2021, the incidence of surgical complications had decreased from 2.55% in June 2021 to 0.82% in June 2022, with an MPC of -5.58% ( P=0.024), which was better than the changes from January 2019 to May 2021 ( MPC=0.18%, P=0.755). Conclusions:The surgical complication monitoring mode constructed by the hospital can effectively reduce the incidence of surgical complications, providing reference for optimizing hospital′s medical quality management process and decision-making mode.
ABSTRACT
@#Periodontitis is an inflammation that occurs in the supporting tissues around teeth with plaque biofilm as the starting factor. Periodontitis is closely related to many systemic diseases, among which the relationship between periodontitis and diabetes is the most widely reported. A cohort study is an essential clinical research method to explore the etiology. Large, well-conducted prospective cohort studies have high power, which can provide important clinical evidence for the impact of periodontitis on blood sugar control, incidence rate and complications of diabetes mellitus. Periodontitis is associated with the deterioration of glycemic control. At present, there is moderate evidence that nonsurgical periodontal treatment can significantly improve the blood sugar level of diabetes patients with periodontitis compared with no periodontal treatment. Studies on the impact of periodontitis on the incidence rate of diabetes lack consistent conclusions because of different population backgrounds. The evidence regarding whether periodontitis affects the incidence rate of diabetes complications is relatively limited. Therefore, well-designed cohort studies are needed to provide high-quality clinical evidence.
ABSTRACT
Resumen Introducción: La distribución espacial y temporal de la infección por SARS-CoV-2 sobrepasa las áreas endémicas de enfermedades transmitidas por vector (ETV), cuya vigilancia en México ha cambiado sustancialmente a partir del primer caso confirmado de COVID-19. Objetivos: Estimar y comparar las tasas de incidencia de las ETV antes y después de la introducción del SARS-CoV-2 en México. Métodos: Estudio retrospectivo de casos de ETV de 2014 a 2021. Las tasas de incidencia de cada ETV en el periodo previo (2014-2019) y posterior (2020-2021) a la introducción del SARS-CoV-2 en México fueron calculadas y comparadas. Resultados: Antes de la introducción del SARS-CoV-2, las tasas de incidencia de las ETV fueron altas y posterior a la introducción del coronavirus hubo un descenso en los índices epidemiológicos; sin embargo, solo se identificó diferencia estadística significativa en la tasa de incidencia de la malaria (p ≤ 0.05) y otras rickettsias (p ≤ 0.05). Conclusiones: Algunas medidas para reducir los casos de COVID-19, como el distanciamiento social, el confinamiento domiciliario, la reducción en el aforo en el transporte público y el trabajo en casa, probablemente contribuyeron a disminuir temporalmente el número de casos de las ETV; sin embargo, puede haber rebrote de las ETV en el futuro cercano.
Abstract Introduction: SARS-CoV-2 infection spatial and temporal distribution overlaps with endemic areas of vector-borne diseases (VBD), whose surveillance in Mexico has substantially changed since the first COVID-19 confirmed case. Objectives: To estimate and compare the incidence rates of VBDs before and after the introduction of SARS-CoV-2 in Mexico. Methods: Retrospective study of VBD cases from 2014 to 2021. The incidence rates of each VBD in the period before (2014-2019) and after (2020-2021) the introduction of SARS-CoV-2 in Mexico were calculated and compared. Results: Before the introduction of SARS-CoV-2, the incidence rates of VBDs were high and after the introduction of coronavirus there was a decrease in epidemiological indices; however, there was only statistically significant difference in the incidence rate of malaria (p ≤ 0.05) and other rickettsiae (p ≤ 0.05). Conclusions: Some measures to reduce COVID-19 cases, such as social distancing, home confinement, reductions in public transport and working at home (home office), probably temporarily decreased the number of VBD cases; however, there may be a resurgence of VBDs in the near future.
ABSTRACT
Objective To analyze the differences in the incidence of malignant tumors among urban and rural residents in Shenyang from 2013 to 2018. Methods From 2013 to 2018, the incidence data of malignant tumors of residents with household registration from national cancer surveillance sites in Shenyang urban area and rural Kangping and Faku counties were extracted. Crude incidence rate, age-standardized rate (standardized rate by Chinese population, standardized rate by world population), age specific incidence rate, cumulative incidence rate (0-74 years old), and truncated incidence rate (35-64 years old) were respectively calculated. SPSS23.0 software was used to carry out chi square test for the incidence of disease in urban and rural areas and in different age groups. Joinpoint 3.5.3 software was used to analyze the incidence trend in urban and rural areas. Results From 2013 to 2018, the age-standardized rate of cancer incidence by Chinese population（2000）and the cumulative rate of 0-74 years old in urban residents of Shenyang City were 199.85/105 and 22.21%, respectively, which were higher than those in rural residents, 172.84/105 and 19.85%, respectively. The incidence rate of cancer in males and females in urban area was higher than that in rural areas (χ2=262.47，χ2=103.83, P<0.05). The incidence rates in urban males and females and in rural females all showed an increasing trend in the past 6 years (APC=3.06%, APC=4.03%，APC=3.28% , P<0.05). The top five malignant tumors of urban males were lung cancer, colorectal cancer, liver cancer, gastric cancer and bladder cancer, while the top five malignant tumors of rural males were lung cancer, esophageal cancer, liver cancer, gastric cancer and colorectal cancer, respectively. The top five malignant tumors of urban women were breast cancer, lung cancer, colorectal cancer, thyroid cancer and cervical cancer, while the malignant tumors of rural women were lung cancer, breast cancer, colorectal cancer, cervical cancer and liver cancer, respectively. Conclusion From 2013 to 2018, the incidence of malignant tumor in urban residents in Shenyang is higher than that in rural areas. The incidence rates of urban males and females and rural females have showed an upward trend year by year in the past 6 years. There is a large difference in the order of tumor incidence between urban and rural men and women.
ABSTRACT
Objective To analyze the incidence and survival trend of malignant tumors in urban residents of Shenyang from 2011 to 2018. Methods The Shenyang tumor registration report system was used to collect the onset data and survival data of patients with malignant tumor from 2011 to 2018.The crude incidence, age-standardized rate, cumulative rate (0-74 years old), truncated rate (35-64 years old), survival rate, and incidence and survival rank were calculated.The observed survival rate was calculated by the life table method.The expected survival rate and relative survival rate were calculated by EdererⅡmethod.Using Joinpoint 3.5.3 software, the annual percentage change in incidence rate and survival rate (APC%) were calculated.SPSS23.0 software was used for the chi square tests of males and females. Results The crude incidence of malignant tumors in Shenyang, age-standardized incidence rates by Chinese standard population and world standard population were 364.70/10 million, 190.00/10 million and 185.63/10 million, respectively.The cumulative rate (0-74 years old) was 21.17%, and the truncated rate (35-64 years old) was 311.66/10 million in the years 2011-2018.The top five incidence rates of males are lung, colorectal, liver, stomach, and bladder cancer, whereas those of females were breast, lung, colorectal, uterine, and thyroid cancer.The incidence rate of malignant tumors increased in 8 years (P=0.00, P=0.67), and the incidence rate was higher in males than that in females (χ2=201.63, P < 0.05).The 5-year survival rate of malignant tumors was 40.49%, and the relative survival rate was 47.84% from 2011 to 2015.The five survival rates of males were in the order of thyroid, kidney, bladder, colon-rectum, and prostate cancer.The five survival rates of females were in the order of thyroid, breast, uterus, cervix, and colon-rectum cancer.The 5-year survival rate showed an upward trend (APC%=7.41, P=0.04).The survival rate of females was higher than that of males (χ2=187.62, P < 0.05). Conclusion The incidence rate and survival rate of malignant tumor in Shenyang urban residents increase yearly from 2011 to 2018.The incidence rate of males is higher than that of females, and the survival rate of males is lower than that of females.The incidence rate and survival rate of tumors differ much in sequence.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate the relationship between cardiometabolic index and metabolic syndrome in people aged 40 and beyond in Guiyang city.Methods:A total of 4 506 residents over 40 years(including 3 067 females and 1 439 males) were enrolled in the analysis from those who participated in the epidemiological study of cancer risk in Chinese patients with type 2 diabetes in 2011 in Guiyang City. The cardiometabolic index (CMI) is calculated by triglycerides(TG)/high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol(HDL-C)×waist-to-height ratio (WHtR). Multivariable logistic regression was used to analyze the correlation between cardiometabolic index and metabolic syndrome, and ROC was used to analyze the predictive ability of CMI on the incidence of metabolic syndrome. Results:The average follow-up period was 3 years. According to the International Diabetes Federation (IDF) diagnostic criteria for metabolic syndrome in 2005, 985 patients (774 women and 211 males) had metabolic syndrome. The incidence rate of metabolic syndrome in the general population was 21.86%, the incidence rate of male metabolic syndrome was 14.66%, and that of women was 25.24%, and the incidence of CMI increased with the increase of the number of women. After multivariable logistic regression analysis, the odds ratio of CMI for metabolic syndrome in women is 1.303(95% CI 1.263-1.344) and 1.724(95% CI 1.162-2.558) in men, respectively. ROC results showed that CMI had a good ability to predict the incidence (AUC: 0.759 for men and 0.852 for women). Conclusion:CMI is positively associated with the incidence of metabolic syndrome. It supports CMI as a useful method to screen metabolic syndrome in China′s general population.
ABSTRACT
SUMMARY OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to explore the influencing factors of preterm twin pregnancy. METHODS: In total, 602 twin-pregnant women delivered from February 2016 to February 2020 were analyzed retrospectively. According to whether the pregnant women were preterm or not, they were divided into preterm group (n=363) and term group (n=239). Baseline information, such as maternal age, address, and education level of the pregnant women, were collected. The clinical information of pregnant women, such as chorionic, preeclampsia, gestational diabetes, premature rupture of membranes, abnormal fetal position, and fetal weight, were analyzed. Logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the risk factors. p-value <0.05 was considered statistically significant. RESULTS: In the preterm group, monochorionic diamniotic comorbidities were significantly higher compared with the control group (p<0.05). Higher risks of preterm group have lower education (p<0.05). Multiple logistic regression analysis demonstrated that education, preeclampsia, and premature rupture of membranes were risk factors for preterm twin pregnancy. CONCLUSIONS: Preterm birth in twin pregnancy is associated with many risk factors, such as education, preeclampsia, and premature rupture of membranes. Pregnancy supervision and prenatal guidance for twin pregnancy should be strengthened. Furthermore, early detection and diagnosis of comorbidities can improve maternal and neonatal outcomes.
ABSTRACT
RESUMO O objetivo foi avaliar a relação espacial dos indicadores de saneamento (acesso à água e ao esgoto), considerando a modelagem da concessão da Companhia Estadual de Águas e Esgotos do Rio de Janeiro (Cedae), e a sua possível relação com a incidência da Covid-19, nos bairros com e sem áreas de favelas. Os dados de casos confirmados da Covid-19 analisados foram obtidos no Painel Saúde do Rio de Janeiro. Foi considerado o fracionamento do município em quatro blocos regionais. Nos 163 bairros da cidade, a taxa de incidência média foi de 9,78 casos/1.000 hab. Os bairros com as menores taxa de incidência foram aqueles com predominância de aglomerados subnormais (favelas), baixa renda per capita e cobertura de saneamento, sugerindo maior lacuna de testagem e subnotificação de casos. Reduzir a inequidade e o racismo estrutural deveria ser prioritário. A sindemia da Covid-19 contribuiu fortemente para perdas socioeconômicas e de saúde pública significativas. Em um cenário de reconstrução, é imprescindível retomar o compromisso para com os Objetivos de Desenvolvimento Sustentável da Agenda 2030 das Nações Unidas.
ABSTRACT This assessment aimed to evaluate the putative spatial relationship between sanitation indicators (access to water and sewage) considering the Rio de Janeiro State Water and Sewage Company (CEDAE) parameters and the COVID-19 incidence among districts with and without slum areas. The data of confirmed COVID-19 cases analyzed were obtained from the Rio de Janeiro Health Panel. We considered the division of the municipality into four regional blocks. The mean COVID-19 incidence was 9.78 cases/1,000 inhabitants in the 163 city districts. The lowest COVID-19 incidence rate was most reported in slum regions, with lower per capita income and sanitation coverage, suggesting a significant gap in testing and case underreporting. Reducing inequality and structural racism should be a priority. The COVID-19 syndemic strongly contributed to significant socioeconomic and public health losses. Our commitment to the Sustainable Development Goals of the 2030 agenda of the United Nations is pivotal in a backdrop of reconstruction.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To characterize the trends in the incidence and mortality of colorectal cancer in Jing'an District of Shanghai， thus optimizing the prophylactic options for this malignancy. Methods:Data from Shanghai Cancer Registration and Reporting System were used to analyze the colorectal cancer prevalence in Jing'an District from 1993 to 2017. Joinpoint software was used to analyze the trends in the standardized incidence rate and mortality rate by calculating the annual percentage of change （APC） and the average annual percentage of change （AAPC）. Results:A total of 13 580 new cases of colorectal cancer were reported in Jing'an District during 1993 and 2017， with an average crude incidence rate of 52.94/105 and a standardized incidence rate of 24.77/105. The total number of deaths was 7 572， with an average crude mortality rate of 29.52/105 and a standardized mortality rate of 12.20/105. The standardized incidence rate of colorectal cancer in Jing'an District from 1993 to 2017 showed an increasing trend （AAPC=1.64%，P<0.001）， and the standardized incidence rate of colorectal cancer in both sexes increased （AAPC： 2.10% in men， 1.04% in women）. The age-standardized mortality rate （ASMR） did not change significantly. The incidence rate of colorectal cancer increased in men in both age groups of 50 to 74 years and 75 years and older， with an AAPC of 2.07% and 3.32%， respectively. However， this was not evident in women of all age groups. The mortality rate of colorectal cancer in men aged 0-49 years， as well as in men and women at 50-74 age groups， decreased significantly， with an AAPC of -7.46%，-1.13%， and -2.72%， respectively. The mortality rate of colorectal cancer in men of 75 years or older showed no significant trend， while that in women of 75 years or older increased （AAPC=2.30%）. Conclusion:The overall standardized incidence rate of colorectal cancer in Jing'an District from 1993 to 2017 was increased， and ASMR did not change significantly. Public health prophylactic options are suggested， including improvement of lifestyle/physical activity and eradication of precancerous lesion polypus in males aged ≥50 years to reduce the incidence of colorectal cancer， and enforcement of second-grade prophylaxis in females aged ≥75 years to decrease the mortality of colorectal cancer.
ABSTRACT
Objective To retrospectively analyze the results of neonatal diseases screening in Yichang from 2017 to 2019, understand the incidence and recall of the diseases, and explore the management mode of neonatal disease screening suitable for this region. Methods The subjects were newborns who were delivered in Yichang midwifery institutions from 2017 to 2019 and were screened for neonatal diseases. Heel blood of the newborns was collected for the screening of neonatal diseases, including congenital hypothyroidism (CH), phenylketonuria (PKU), G6PD deficiency, congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) and thalassemia. Those newborns with positive initial screening were recalled for reexamination and confirmation. The recall rates of different diseases were compared by Chi-square test. Results There were 85 891 live births in Yichang area from 2017 to 2019, and 84 063 cases were screened for neonatal diseases, with a screening rate of 97.87%. A total of 6 043 cases were positive in the initial screening, of which 5,047 cases were recalled, with a recall rate of 83.52%. The recall rates of the traditional two diseases (CH and PKU) and the new three diseases (CAH, G6PD deficiency and thalassemia) were significantly different ( χ2= 197.93, P＜0.01). A total of 501 cases were diagnosed. The incidence rate of CH was 1/1,911, the incidence rate of PKU was 1/12 009, the incidence rate of CAH was 1/28 021, the incidence rate of G6PD deficiency was 1/1 121, and the incidence rate of thalassemia was 1/226. Conclusions The neonatal disease screening rate increased year by year in Yichang, but the recall rate of suspicious positive initial screenings decreased. It is necessary to explore a more suitable management mode for the five neonatal disease screenings in this region, improve the recall rate of children with positive screening, reduce the incidence of disabled children, and improve the quality of the birth population.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the epidemiological characteristics of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) in Yichang City in the last 5 years, and to provide a basis for targeted prevention and treatment. Methods The annual estimated percentage was used to evaluate the trend of morbidity and mortality of AMI by using the monitoring data from 2015 to 2019 from the health big data platform of Yichang. Results There were 1 976 new cases of AMI in Yichang from 2015 to 2019, with a crude morbidity of 41.96/100 000, and standardized morbidity of 87.52/100 000. Among them the crude incidence rate in males was 57.69/100 000, and 29.84/100 000 in females. The difference was statistically significant (χ2=15.76, P2=45.65, P<0.001). The morbidity and mortality of males and females were increased with age. Conclusion From 2015 to 2019, the morbidity of AMI in Yichang was at a moderately low level in China, but the mortality was higher than the national average. The morbidity showed an upward trend, with men and elderly people aged ≥60 being more serious. Appropriate intervention measures should be taken for different groups of people to reduce the incidence of AMI.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To analyze the incidence and death characteristics of cancer and survival rate of residents in Qingpu District， Shanghai from 2012 to 2016， and to provide a scientific basis for subsequent cancer prevention and treatment. Methods:The malignant tumor incidence and death data were collected by the Shanghai Malignant Tumor Case Registration System. Based on these data， the crude incidence and mortality rate of cancer， the standardized rate， the order of incidence and death of the top 10 cancers， and the overall survival rate were calculated using the life table method. The relative survival rate for 1 to 5 years was calculated using the Ederer II method according to survival probability in the abbreviated life table for the same period. The annual percentage change （APC） was calculated by Joinpoint software， and the trend of morbidity and mortality was analyzed. Results:A total of 10 893 new malignant tumor cases were diagnosed in the region from 2012 to 2016. The crude incidence rate of cancer in the whole region was 464.68/100 000 （502.06/100 000 for men and 428.57/100 000 for women）， and the standardized incidence rate was 224.61/100 000 （235.52/100 000 for men， and 217.98/100 000 for women）. A total of 5 820 people died of cancer， the crude mortality rate of cancer in the whole region was 248.28/100 000 （321.92/100 000 for men and 177.13/100 000 for women）， and the standardized mortality rate was 97.08/100 000 （133.14/100 000 for men and 66.38/100 000 for women）. Patients with malignant tumors diagnosed in Qingpu District in 2012 showed higher 5-year relative survival for breast cancer （87.03%）， malignant tumors of brain and central nervous system （73.62%）， and colorectal cancer （58.22%）. A relative low 5-year survival rate was observed in patients with pancreatic cancer （3.76%）， esophageal cancer （10.55%）， and liver cancer （15.79）. Conclusion:Lung cancer and malignant tumors of the digestive system （including gastric cancer and colorectal cancer） are the main types of cancer threatening the health of residents in Qingpu District. The survival rates of breast cancer， malignant tumors of brain and central nervous system， and colorectal cancer have reached or approached the level of developed countries. However， the overall survival rate of malignant tumors in Qingpu District is lower than that in the city， and needs to be further improved.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To retrospectively characterize the perinatal birth defects in the latest 5 years in Minhang District of Shanghai， and provide the evidence to improve the preventive strategies. Methods:The data of perinatal birth defects was retrieved from “Shanghai information reporting system for children with birth defects and disabilities” ，which was recorded by five sentinel hospitals in Minhang District from January 2014 to December 2018. Average proportion of perinatal birth defects in the recent 5 years， annual variation， comparison with municipal data in the same period， difference between registered population and migrant population， difference between male and female， and common birth defects were determined. Results:The average proportion of perinatal birth defects in the recent 5 years was determined to be 6.24‰， which increased from 5.32‰ in 2014 to 7.90‰ in 2018. It was lower than the municipal proportion in Shanghai with an average of 11.02 ‰ （from 9.7 ‰ in 2014 to 14.00 ‰ in 2018）. The proportion was higher in resident population （9.15‰） than that in migrant population （5.57‰）. In addition， the proportion was higher in male infants （6.81‰） than that in female infants （5.59‰）. The first two common defects were congenital heart disease and polydactyly， while cleft lip and cleft lip with palate showed a decreasing trend. Conclusion:In the recent 5 years， the proportion of birth defect increases， which is consistent with the whole city. There remain challenges in the maternal and children healthcare.
