Effect of baseline resting heart rate on the risk of all-cause death in Chinese patients with hypertension.

The aim of this study was to investigate the association between baseline resting heart rate (RHR) and all-cause death in the China Stroke Primary Prevention Trial (CSPPT). A post hoc analysis was conducted using data from 20,648 hypertensive adults without cardiovascular disease in the CSPPT and with baseline RHR data available. Over a median follow-up duration of 4.5 years, the baseline RHR and risk for all-cause death had a nonlinear relationship. The risk of all-cause death was higher in participants with an RHR ≥85 bpm (hazard ratio 1.42; 95% confidence interval 1.03-1.96, p = .031) than in those with a baseline RHR of 75-80 bpm. The effect of RHR on all-cause death during the treatment period was modified by the folate level (p = .020) and systolic blood pressure (SBP) during treatment(p = .056). The effect of RHR on the risk of all-cause death was stronger when the folate level was low than when it was high; the risk was higher when the RHR was < 75 bpm or ≥80 bpm than when it was 75-80 bpm. RHR had a greater effect on the risk of all-cause death when SBP during treatment was well controlled than when it was not; again, the risk was higher when the RHR was < 75 bpm or ≥80 bpm than when it was 75-80 bpm. A higher baseline RHR resulted in an increased risk of all-cause mortality in Chinese adults with hypertension but no history of stroke or myocardial infarction.

Influence of Information Technique Used for Reporting in Hospital:An Evaluation of Reporting Quality of Infectious Diseases / 中华医院感染学杂志

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the influence of the information technique reporting on the quality of the infectious diseases reporting,and discuss the advantages and existing problems of Reporting Information System of Infectious Diseases("IDRIS").METHODS The situations of missing reports,late reports,and information quality of reporting cards before and after the application of IDRIS in the hospital were compared.RESULTS The missing report rate,late report rate,completeness rate and accuracy rate of cards after the application of IDRIS were 0.6%,2.0%,99.3% and 99.3% respectively,vs 16.5%(15.9% lower,(?2=436.997,P

Influence of problem-based learning nursing ward round on critical thinking capacity of surgical nurses / 中国实用护理杂志

Objective To explore the role of problem-based learning(PBL) nursing ward round on critical thinking capacity of nurses from surgical departments. Methods All nurses from surgical depart-ments were randomly divided into the experimental group(86 nurses) and the control group(85 nurses) by drawing lots. Objects from the experimental group received PBL nursing ward round training twice a week for 8 months, while those from the control group used the traditional nursing ward round training. The influ-ence of the different teaching methods on the critical thinking capacity of the nurses was assessed before and after the training, using critical thinking disposition inventory-Chinese version (CTDI-CV). Results Total critical thinking capacity was improved significantly in the experimental group after the training. All sorts of critical thinking characteristics were strengthened in different degree. Conclusions PBL nursing ward round training can effectively facilitate the critical thinking capacity of surgical nurses.
