  • Running effect of modified hospital-community integrated service mode in day surgery

    Objective To discuss the running effect of the modified hospital-community integrated two-way-referral service mode in day surgery. Methods The hospital-community integrated two-way-referral service mode in day surgery was built in May 2014 by our center, and applied in the communities’ health service network in Chenghua District, Wuhou District, and Jinjiang District. From March 2017 some improvements of the mode were made, such as assigning specific person for the management of two-way-referral, conducting lectures in communities to train the community medical staff, and carrying out gratuitous treatment. The community acceptance rate and patients satisfaction were retrospectively analyzed between March of 2016 and March of 2017, and the number of upward referral (from community to hospital) was retrospectively analyzed between March to June of 2016 and March to June of 2017. Results The community acceptance rate was elevated from 81.3% to 99.1% and the patients satisfaction was improved from 95.4% to 100.0%, and the differences between the two periods were statistically significant (P<0.05). The number of upward referral increased from 0 to 23. Conclusions The modified hospital-community integrated service mode could optimize the course of surgery appointment, and make it convenient for patients. Furthermore, it also adjusts the reasonable allocation of medical resource effectively and promotes the implementation of national hierarchical medical system.

  • Efficacy of Beta-Lactam/Macrolide or Fluoroquinolone on Outcomes in Elderly Patients in ICU with Severe Community-Acquired Pneumonia

    Objective To explore whether hospitalized elderly patients with severe communityacquired pneumonia ( SCAP) have better outcomes if they are treated with dual-therapy consisting of a β-lactam/macrolide or fluoroquinolone.Methods A prospective study was conducted in patients with SCAP aged 65 years or older between January 2007 and January 2012. These patients were assigned to a combination therapy group or a β-lactam monotherapy group by the attending physicians. Time to clinical stability( TCS) and total mortality were calculated. Prognostic factors for death were analyzed. Results Among the 232 patients, 153 patients were given β-lactam/macrolide or β-lactam/ fluoroquinolone ( macrolide in 67 patients and fluoroquinolone in 86) , while 79 were treated with β-lactam monotherapy. Compared with the monotherapy group, the combination therapy group was associated with significant decreased TCS ( median TCS, 10 days vs. 13 days) , and lower overall in-hospital mortality( 24.2% vs. 43.0%, P lt;0. 01) . Compared with fluoroquinolone, macrolide use was associated with lower ICU mortality ( 14.9% vs. 31.4% , P lt;0. 01) . Simplified acute physiology score Ⅱ, pneumonia severity index, mutilobar infiltration, and β-lactam monotherapy were confirmed as independent predictors of death. Conclusion β-lactam/macrolide or β-lactam/ fluoroquinolone combination therapy, especially with macrolide, has superiority over β-lactam monotherapy in elderly patients with SCAP, and should be recommended.

    Objective To understand the current rate of nosocomial infection and its changing trend in a grade A comprehensive hospital in 10 years, and to provide scientific basis for the monitoring, control and management of nosocomial infection. Methods Using the method of cross-sectional survey, the inpatients in Mianyang Central Hospital from 2011 to 2020 were selected for bedside survey, and the questionnaire was filled in after review of medical records. The data of cross-sectional survey of nosocomial infection were collected, and the infection-related data of nosocomial and community-acquired infection of patients in each department were statistically analyzed. Results A total of 19 595 cases were investigated. The prevalence rate of nosocomial infection was 3.79%, and the the case prevalence rate of nosocomial infection was 4.04%. The prevalence of community-acquired infection was 33.44%, and the case prevalence rate of community-acquired infection was 35.30%. The departments with higher prevalence rate in nosocomial infection were intensive care unit, neurosurgery, cardiothoracic surgery and hematology. The departments with high prevalence rate in the community-acquired infection were burn department, pediatrics department, neonatology department, respiratory medicine department and pediatric intensive care unit. The most common site of nosocomial infection was lower respiratory tract infection, followed by upper respiratory tract sensation, urinary tract, abdominal tissue and blood. The main pathogens of nosocomial infections were Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Acinetobacter baumannii, Staphylococcus aureus, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The utilization rate of antibacterial drugs was 42.93%. There was a downward trend in prophylactic drug use, mainly one drug combination, and the proportion of combination drug decreased.Conclusion Through the investigation, it can be seen that the key points of nosocomial infection management and prevention and control should be lower respiratory tract infection, postoperative surgical infection, multi-drug resistant bacteria management and rational use of antibiotics.

  • Analysis of thrombotic events and mortality in patients with sever pneumonia in intensive care unit

    Objective To explore the thromboembolic events and mortality in patients with different types of severe pneumonia, and to analyze the related high-risk factors. Methods A total of 161 severe pneumonia patients who admitted in intensive care unit from January 2018 to February 2023 were included in the study. The patients were divided into a COVID-19 group (n=88) and a community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) group (n=73) according to the type of pneumonia, and divided into a thrombosis group and a non-thrombosis group according to the occurrence of thrombosis. The patients were followed-up until discharge or in-hospital death, registering the occurrence of thrombotic events. Results During the in-hospital stay, 32.9% of CAP and 36.4% of COVID-19 patients experienced thrombotic events (P>0.05). In CAP group all the events (including 24 paitents) were venous thromboses, while in COVID-19 group 31 patients were venous and 3 were arterial thromboses (2 were cerebral infarction, and 1 with myocardial infarction). There were statistically significant difference in gender, age, venous thromboembolism score (VTE score), activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), and procalcitonin (PCT) between the TE group and the Non-TE group. Logistic regression analysis showed that thrombotic events was associated with sex, age and APTT; gender (female: OR=2.47, 95%CI 1.13 - 5.39, P<0.05) and age (OR=1.04, 95%CI 1.01 - 1.07, P<0.05) were positively associated with thrombotic events. During the in-hospital follow-up, 44.3% of CAP patients and 42.5% of COVID-19 patients died (P>0.05). Receiver operator characteristic (ROC) curve analysis showed that APACHEⅡ score was more accurate in predicting mortality of severe pneumonia, and the area under the ROC curve (AUC) was 0.77 (95%CI 0.70 - 0.84, sensitivity 74.3%, specificity 68.1%), the AUC of the VTE score was 0.61 (95%CI 0.53 - 0.70, Sensitivity 31.4%, specificity 81.7%); the AUC of the creatinine was 0.64 (95%CI 0.56 - 0.73, sensitivity 72.9%, specificity 51.2%). While the Kappa value for kidney disease was 0.409 (P<0.05) presenting moderate consistency. Conclusions The incidence of thromboembolic events and mortality are high in patients with different types of severe pneumonia. Thrombophilia was associated with sex, age, and APTT. APACHEⅡ score, VTE score, and creatinine value were independent risk factors for predicting death from severe pneumonia.

  • Practice of applying quality control circle to improve the model of “hospital-community integrated service” of day surgery

    Objective To improve the model of hospital-community integrated service of day surgery through quality control circle (QCC). Methods To optimize the community follow-up management of day surgery patients, we used QCC between March and August 2015 to find out the real reasons for community follow-up problems in day surgery patients and developed and implemented corresponding countermeasures. Comparison of health education, postoperative follow-up of dressing changes, and doctor-patient satisfaction assessment before and after the implementation of the model of hospital-community integrated service of day surgery (September 2014-February 2015vs. September 2015-February 2016) was then performed. Results After QCC implementation, the average number of dressing changes in the hospital was reduced from 4.58±0.95 to 1.18±0.39 (t=181.194,P<0.001). The average number of dressing changes in the community increased from 1.42±0.52 to 4.32±0.88 (t=–146.245,P<0.001). The average number of health consultation increased from 0.85±0.38 to 6.39±1.20 (t=–177.096,P<0.001). The satisfaction assessment after QCC implementation among doctors, nurses and patients also significantly increased (P<0.01). Conclusion Applying QCC can improve the model of hospital-community integrated service of day surgery and have remarkable effects on postoperative rehabilitation and patients’ satisfaction.

  • Change of Procalcitonin Kinetice in Patients with Severe Community-acquired Pneumonia and Its Clinic Value

    ObjectiveTo explore procalcitonin (PCT) dynamically in severe community-acquired pneumonia (SCAP) patients to evaluate the effects of different kinds of medical treatments and assess the clinical significance of the change of PCT. MethodsAll of the selected 60 SCAP patients treated from January 2009 to April 2011 met the standards of IDSA/ATS Guidelines for CAP. There were 38 males and 22 females, with an average age of 66.3 years. The sterile venous blood specimen samples were collected from the patients at day 0 to day 5. PCT and C-reactive protein (CRP) were measured by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay throughout the research. At day six, based on oxygenation index (PaO2/FiO2) ratio higher than 250, inflammation absorption on chest X ray after vasoactive agents were stopped, Glasgow scores higher than 10 and urine volume equal to or higher than 0.5 mL/(kg·d), we divided the patients into recovery group and deterioration group. Data were analyzed by SAS 9.0 software, and P<0.05 was considered to be statistically significant. ResultsThe analysis results showed that PCT and CRP bore a significantly positive relationship on day 0 (r=0.38, P=0.00). The research also indicated that PCT had a faster declining rate than CRP and white blood cells count throughout the clinical treatment. The average of PCT declined 29% in 48 hours. Following the criterion of PCT decrease by 30%, the research showed that PCT had a higher sensibility and specificity (66.87% and 85.50%, respectively) in 48 hours than 72 hours (70.05% and 100.00%), 96 hours (79.88% and 75.23%), and 120 hours (83.10% and 100.00%). ConclusionFollowing the criterion of PCT decrease by 30% after using antibiotics can be an clinical objective index to guide the use of antibiotics and provide the basis for clinical application and prognosis.

  • Study on the cognition and acceptance of community-based hemodialysis centers among hemodialysis patients in Yangzhou

    Objective To understand the cognition and acceptance of community hemodialysis centers among hemodialysis patients in Yangzhou, and to provide theoretical basis for the development of community hemodialysis centers. Methods A cluster random sampling method was used to select 400 maintenance hemodialysis patients treated in various areas of Yangzhou in April 2021 for a questionnaire survey to analyze the influencing factors of patients’ medical treatment behavior. Results A total of 390 valid questionnaires were recovered, with an effective recovery rate of 97.50%. Among the patients, 40.51% were very concerned about the construction of hemodialysis centers in the community, 56.67% understood the relevant policies, and 56.92% of the patients were willing to choose the community for dialysis treatment. The results of logistic regression analysis showed that the main factors affecting whether patients choose community for hemodialysis treatment include the patients’ residence [Jiangdu vs. Guangling: odds ratio (OR)=7.183, 95% confidence interval (CI) (2.010, 25.674), P=0.002; Gaoyou vs. Guangling: OR=22.512, 95%CI (7.201, 70.373), P<0.001; Yizheng vs. Guangling: OR=25.137, 95%CI (7.636, 82.744), P<0.001; Baoying vs. Guangling: OR=23.784, 95%CI (7.795, 72.569), P<0.001], degree of concern [some concern vs. very concerned: OR=0.267, 95 %CI (0.137, 0.521), P<0.001; not very concerned vs. very concerned: OR=0.062, 95%CI (0.023, 0.168), P<0.001; not concerned vs. very concerned: OR=0.101, 95% CI (0.023, 0.439), P=0.002], awareness [somewhat know vs. know very well: OR=0.025, 95%CI (0.002, 0.318), P=0.004; don’t know very well vs. know very well: OR=0.035, 95%CI (0.003, 0.439), P=0.009; don’t know vs. know very well: OR=0.006, 95%CI (0.000, 0.084), P<0.001]. Conclusions Hemodialysis patients in Yangzhou have a low level of awareness and acceptance of community-based hemodialysis centers. The patients’ residence, degree of attention and awareness of community-based hemodialysis center directly affect whether they choose the community for treatment. The relevant departments and medical institutions can start from the factors that affect patients’ choice of medical treatment, further strengthen the publicity of community dialysis, optimize the allocation of medical resources, and improve the capacity of community health services.
