RESUMEN
The total number of COVID-19 patients since the outbreak of this infection in Wuhan, China has reached 40000 and are still growing. To facilitate triage or identification of the large number of COVID-19 patients from other patients with similar symptoms in designated fever clinics, we set to identify a practical marker that could be conveniently utilized by first-line health-care workers in clinics. To do so, we performed a case-control study by analyzing clinical and laboratory findings between PCR-confirmed SARS-CoV-2 positive patients (n=52) and SARS-CoV-2 negative patients (n=53). The patients in two cohorts all had similar symptoms, mainly fever and respiratory symptoms. The rates of patients with leukocyte counts (normal or decreased number) or lymphopenia (two parameters suggested by current National and WHO COVID-19 guidelines) had no differences between these two cohorts, while the rate of eosinopenia (decreased number of eosinophils) in SARS-CoV-2 positive patients (79%) was much higher than that in SARS-CoV-2 negative patients (36%). When the symptoms were combined with eosinopenia, this combination led to a diagnosis sensitivity and specificity of 79% and 64%, respectively, much higher than 48% and 53% when symptoms were combined with leukocyte counts (normal or decreased number) and/ or lymphopenia. Thus, our analysis reveals that eosinopenia may be a potentially more reliable laboratory predictor for SARS-CoV-2 infection than leukocyte counts and lymphopenia recommended by the current guidelines.
RESUMEN
Objective To investigate the effect of pregnant women with hypertensive disorders of COOK cervical dilatation balloon and Dinoprostone Suppositories on the gestation effect and safety of induction.MethodsThe research object from June 2013 to June 2015 in our hospital for pregnant women with hypertensive disorders in pregnancy in 68 cases (all patients with gestational hypertension and mild preeclampsia) were randomLy divided into the observation.Group and control group, 34 cases in each group.The observation group received COOK cervical dilatation balloon induced labor, the control group to implement Dinoprostone Suppositories induction, comparative analysis of observation group and control group, maternal and perinatal situation, mode of delivery, the cervical Bishop score, the degree of pain.Resultsabnormal fetal heart and uterine hyperstimulation, uterine tonic contraction rate of observation group were significantly lower than the control group(P<0.05).The cesarean section rate in the observation group and the control group had no significant difference.After placement, the cervical Bishop score of observation group was significantly higher than that of control group(P<0.05).The pain degree of observation group was significantly lower than that in control group(P<0.05).ConclusionCOOK balloon dilatation of the cervix and Dinoprostone Suppositories, fewer complications, can significantly improve maternal, perinatal and cervical ripening score of Bishop.
