Using a retrospective analysis method, the influencing factors of catheter fixation defects in the study subjects were divided into two categories based on objective characteristics: type I non modifiable influencing factors and type II modifiable influencing factors. Using the standard for catheter fixation defects, whether the patient had catheter fixation defects was determined. After classified and statistically analyzed item by item, binary Logistic multiple regression analysis was used to identify the influencing factors.[Results] The occurrence of catheter fixation defects in patients with catheter fixation was related to factors such as whether the patient was evaluated before fixation, whether the fixation method was standardized and systematic, whether there was sufficient communication between nurses and patients, and the patient s knowledge of catheter fixation. It was also influenced by factors such as the patient s age, catheterization site, catheterization number, catheterization duration, where there was a consciousness disorder, educational level, and external environmental temperature.[Conclusions] Early attention to the key factors affecting patients with catheter fixation defects can effectively prevent adverse factors and provide patients with the best catheter fixation nursing plan to improve nursing quality.展开更多

Methods: Eight hundred and fifteen patients with UA confirmed by coronary angiography were identified from several centers. Common syndrome essential factors were selected on the basis of expert experience. The correlations between common syndrome essential factors and symptoms and signs of UA were analyzed using binary logistic regression analysis. Results: The common syndrome essential factors in unstable angina were blood stasis, qi stagnation, phlegm turbidity, heat stagnancy, qi deficiency, yin deficiency, and yang deficiency. Symptoms such as chest pain, hypochondriac distention, ecchymosis, dark orbits, dark and purplish tongue, and tongue with ecchymosis and petechiae were significant diagnostic features of "blood stasis". Aversion to cold and cool limbs, weakness in the waist and knees, and clear abundant urine were significant diagnostic features of "yang deficiency". These results were in accordance with the understanding of traditional clinical Chinese medical practice. Conclusion: This clinical study analyzed the correlations between common syndrome essential factors and the symptoms and signs of unstable angina. The results provide the basis for establishing diagnostic criteria for syndrome essential factors.展开更多

Methods: The serum concentrations of CEA, AFP, CA72-4 and CA19-9 were measured with electrochemiluminescence immunoassay in 126 patients with gastrocolic tumors, 137 patients with benign gastrocolic disorders and 109 healthy controls. The area under the ROC curve (AUC) of CEA, AFP, CA72-4 and CA19-9 and stepwise LR results were compared by sensitivity, specificity, Youden's index and positive likelihood ratio/negative likelihood ratio. Results: The levels of four tested tumor markers in patients with gastrocolic tumors were significantly higher than those in benign gastrocolic group and normal controls. In the benign gastrocolic group, the AUC from stepwise logistic regression was larger than the AUC of four tumor markers respectively. Sensitivity, Youden's index and positive likelihood ratio/negative likelihood ratio were the highest in the combination assay of CA72-4, CEA, and CA19-9, as compared with one of the tumor markers alone. Conclusion: The use of ROC established by LR analysis model improved the diagnostic accuracy of gastrocolic tumors. For the screening of gastrocolic tumors, the AUC value of the combination probability index (sensitivity and specificity) was significantly higher than the values of the different tumour markers.展开更多

Our study aimed to investigate the risk factors and prevention of post-ERCP cholangitis.Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 4234 cases undergone ERCP in the Affiliated Drum Tower Hospital of Nanjing University Medical School from January 2008 to December 2013. Patient-related factors and procedure-related factors were analyzed to find the risk factors of post-ERCP cholangitis. The time point of post-ERCP cholangitis was also analyzed. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to define the independent risk factors of post-ERCP cholangitis.Results: The success rate of ERCP was 96.8%(4099/4234). The overall complication rate was 9.4%(399/4234). Post-ERCP cholangitis occurred in 102 cases(2.4%, 102/4234). The most dangerous time of post-ERCP cholangitis was from 24 h–48 h after ERCP(45.1%, 46/102). Univariate analysis revealed that age, hypertension, diabetes, previous ERCP history, biliary stent insertion, pancreatography, endoscopic sphincterotomy, balloon dilation and hilar obstruction were risk factors of post-ERCP cholangitis(P < 0.05). Multivariate analysis indicated that age, previous ERCP history and hilar obstruction were independent risk factors(P < 0.05). While endoscopic stone extraction was the potential protective factor.Conclusions: Many risk factors are involved in post-ERCP cholangitis. Among them, old age, previous ERCP history and hilar obstruction were independently related to this post-ERCP complication.展开更多

This was done by inspecting high-resolution surface images across New Brunswick (NB) and elsewhere to mark where ruts have (1) and have not (0) occurred in harvested cutblocks. This marking revealed 1) where off-road operations were likely done on moist to wet and unfrozen soils;and 2) whether the ruts so incurred were water-logged at the time of imaging. Through geospatial processing of the NB-wide digital elevation model (DEM, available at 1 m resolution), the following attributes were added to each of the marked rut and no-rut locations: 1) the cartographic depth-to-water (DTW) as referenced to the nearest flow channels with >1 and >4 ha upslope flow accumulation areas (FA);2) the topographic position index (TPI) in reference to the mean annulus elevation 50 m away from each DEM cell;3) mean slope and curvatures within each cell-surrounding 10-m circle;4) the terrain wetness index (TWI);5) soil association type according to the NB forest soil map, adjusted for NB’s most recent hydrographic network delineations for waterbodies and wetlands. Subjecting these data to logistic regression analysis revealed that image-located off-road rutting occurred at about 90% probability in water-accumulating zones where TPI is <0 m and DTW is <1 m. Using slope, curvature, TWI, and soil type as additional rut occurrence predictors did not affect this zonation significantly.展开更多

Methods Data about 2 568 patients with acute ischemic stroke were collected from 4 hospitals in Shandong Province from January 2006 to December 2008. National Institute of Health Stroke Scale （NIHSS） 〉10 at discharge or death was defined as the outcome. Effect of dyslipidemia on outcome in patients with acute ischemic stroke was analyzed by multivariate logistic regression analysis and propensity score-adjusted analysis, respectively. Results The serum levels of TC, LDL-C, and HDL-C were significantly associated with the outcome in patients with acute ischemic stroke. Multivariate logistic regression analysis and propensity score-adjusted analysis showed that the ORs and 95% CIs were 3.013 （1.259, 7.214）/2.655 （1.298, 5.43）, 3.157 （1.306, 7.631）/3.405 （1.621, 7.154）, and 0.482 （0.245, 0.946）/0.51 （0.282, O.921）, respectively, for patients with acute ischemic stroke. Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness-of-fit test showed no significant difference in observed and predicted risk in patients with acute ischemic stroke （chi-square=8.235, P=0.411）. Conclusion Serum levels of TC, LDL-C, and HDL-C are positively related with the outcome in patients with acute ischemic stroke.展开更多
文摘[Objectives] To analyze the influencing factors of fixed defects in patients with catheter fixation in clinical nursing work, in order to provide the best catheter fixation nursing plan for patients.[Methods] 176 inpatients with indwelling catheter from surgical system of Taihe Hospital in Shiyan City from August 2022 to March 2023 were selected. Using a retrospective analysis method, the influencing factors of catheter fixation defects in the study subjects were divided into two categories based on objective characteristics: type I non modifiable influencing factors and type II modifiable influencing factors. Using the standard for catheter fixation defects, whether the patient had catheter fixation defects was determined. After classified and statistically analyzed item by item, binary Logistic multiple regression analysis was used to identify the influencing factors.[Results] The occurrence of catheter fixation defects in patients with catheter fixation was related to factors such as whether the patient was evaluated before fixation, whether the fixation method was standardized and systematic, whether there was sufficient communication between nurses and patients, and the patient s knowledge of catheter fixation. It was also influenced by factors such as the patient s age, catheterization site, catheterization number, catheterization duration, where there was a consciousness disorder, educational level, and external environmental temperature.[Conclusions] Early attention to the key factors affecting patients with catheter fixation defects can effectively prevent adverse factors and provide patients with the best catheter fixation nursing plan to improve nursing quality.

文摘Objective: To explore the correlation between common syndrome essential factors and the symptoms and signs of unstable angina (UA). Methods: Eight hundred and fifteen patients with UA confirmed by coronary angiography were identified from several centers. Common syndrome essential factors were selected on the basis of expert experience. The correlations between common syndrome essential factors and symptoms and signs of UA were analyzed using binary logistic regression analysis. Results: The common syndrome essential factors in unstable angina were blood stasis, qi stagnation, phlegm turbidity, heat stagnancy, qi deficiency, yin deficiency, and yang deficiency. Symptoms such as chest pain, hypochondriac distention, ecchymosis, dark orbits, dark and purplish tongue, and tongue with ecchymosis and petechiae were significant diagnostic features of "blood stasis". Aversion to cold and cool limbs, weakness in the waist and knees, and clear abundant urine were significant diagnostic features of "yang deficiency". These results were in accordance with the understanding of traditional clinical Chinese medical practice. Conclusion: This clinical study analyzed the correlations between common syndrome essential factors and the symptoms and signs of unstable angina. The results provide the basis for establishing diagnostic criteria for syndrome essential factors.

文摘Objective: The aim of the study was to evaluate the clinical significance of multiple tumor markers (CEA, AFP, CA72-4 and CA19-9) in patients with gastrocolic tumors by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve and stepwise logistic regression (LR) analysis. Methods: The serum concentrations of CEA, AFP, CA72-4 and CA19-9 were measured with electrochemiluminescence immunoassay in 126 patients with gastrocolic tumors, 137 patients with benign gastrocolic disorders and 109 healthy controls. The area under the ROC curve (AUC) of CEA, AFP, CA72-4 and CA19-9 and stepwise LR results were compared by sensitivity, specificity, Youden's index and positive likelihood ratio/negative likelihood ratio. Results: The levels of four tested tumor markers in patients with gastrocolic tumors were significantly higher than those in benign gastrocolic group and normal controls. In the benign gastrocolic group, the AUC from stepwise logistic regression was larger than the AUC of four tumor markers respectively. Sensitivity, Youden's index and positive likelihood ratio/negative likelihood ratio were the highest in the combination assay of CA72-4, CEA, and CA19-9, as compared with one of the tumor markers alone. Conclusion: The use of ROC established by LR analysis model improved the diagnostic accuracy of gastrocolic tumors. For the screening of gastrocolic tumors, the AUC value of the combination probability index (sensitivity and specificity) was significantly higher than the values of the different tumour markers.

文摘Background: Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography(ERCP) may have complications. Our study aimed to investigate the risk factors and prevention of post-ERCP cholangitis.Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 4234 cases undergone ERCP in the Affiliated Drum Tower Hospital of Nanjing University Medical School from January 2008 to December 2013. Patient-related factors and procedure-related factors were analyzed to find the risk factors of post-ERCP cholangitis. The time point of post-ERCP cholangitis was also analyzed. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to define the independent risk factors of post-ERCP cholangitis.Results: The success rate of ERCP was 96.8%(4099/4234). The overall complication rate was 9.4%(399/4234). Post-ERCP cholangitis occurred in 102 cases(2.4%, 102/4234). The most dangerous time of post-ERCP cholangitis was from 24 h–48 h after ERCP(45.1%, 46/102). Univariate analysis revealed that age, hypertension, diabetes, previous ERCP history, biliary stent insertion, pancreatography, endoscopic sphincterotomy, balloon dilation and hilar obstruction were risk factors of post-ERCP cholangitis(P < 0.05). Multivariate analysis indicated that age, previous ERCP history and hilar obstruction were independent risk factors(P < 0.05). While endoscopic stone extraction was the potential protective factor.Conclusions: Many risk factors are involved in post-ERCP cholangitis. Among them, old age, previous ERCP history and hilar obstruction were independently related to this post-ERCP complication.

文摘Objective:To explore the related factors that may affect the efficacy of traditional Chinese medicine in treating degenerative lumbar spondylolisthesis.Methods:A total of 535 patients with DLS who were treated in Wangjing Hospital of China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences and other hospitals from June 2011 to October 2014 were selected.The central random system was used to randomly divide the treatment group and control group.This study included 267 patients in the treatment group using the traditional Chinese medicine program((lumbar spine reduction and lumbar spine rehabilitation),36 cases of severely missing data were excluded,and a total of 231 DLS patients were included.Observation indicators were selected using the Visual Analog Scale(VAS)and the Japanese Orthopaedic Association(JOA)for the evaluation of lumbar vertebral disorders.The clinical efficacy was evaluated using the JOA lumbar pain curative effect evaluation standard[7].[(Joa score after treatment-JOA score before treatment]/(out of 29 points-JOA score before treatment)]×100%.The JOA score and the change of the efficacy index of the patients were observed.According to the JOA efficacy index after the treatment,it was divided into significant effect(≥50%)and poor effect(<50%).Single-factor screening and multi-factor Logistic regression analysis were used.Gender,age,course of disease,BMI index,slip-off segment,slip-off direction,back pain VAS score,total JOA score,back pain-score,lower limb pain and numbness-score,walking ability-score,straight leg elevation test-score,Feeling-scoring,muscle strength-scoring,supine turn-scoring,standing action-scoring,washing action-scoring,standing posture and continuous standing-scoring,long sedentary-scoring,weight lifting and holding-scoring,walking-scoring 2.Bladder function-scores were assigned to logistic regression models for univariate analysis,and meaningful independent variables were screened for multivariate logistic regression.Results:No serious adverse reactions occurred in the patients included in this study.According to the comparison of JOA scores before and after treatment,the results of the index of efficacy index showed that the effective rate of DLS in this project was 96.6%,and a significant effect of 77.6%was achieved.Univariate Logistic regression analysis showed that the duration of disease,supine turn-scoring,washing action-scoring,prolonged sedentary-scoring,weight lifting and keeping-scoring had statistically significant effects on the inclusion of patients with significant efficacy(P<0.05);single factor logistic regression analysis of total score of JOA score before treatment was not statistically significant(P=0.215),but because it is important for evaluating the patient's condition,it was included in multifactor logistic regression analysis at the same time.Course of onset,supine turn-scoring,washing action-scoring,prolonged sedentary-scoring,weight lifting and holding-scoring,JOA score before treatment.Six independent variables were substituted into the two-class logistic regression model for multivariate analysis..Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the effects of total JOA score and supine turn-scoring before treatment on the efficacy of patients were statistically significant(P<0.05).There are many factors influencing the efficacy of traditional Chinese medicine treatment of DLS,and the probability of obtaining a significant effect for each additional point of JOA score and supine turn-score before treatment increases by 1.167 and 0.410 times,respectively.Conclusion:The clinical application of lumbar spine reduction combined with lumbar rehabilitation exercises in patients with degenerative lumbar spondylolisthesis with a higher total JOA score or a lower limit of supine turning can achieve better clinical results.This finding has certain guiding significance for the clinical application of this therapy in the treatment of DLS,and is beneficial to improving patient satisfaction and clinical effectiveness.
文摘Objective: To study the relationship between related factors and infection of Ureaplasma Urealyticum (UU). Design: A clinical abservational study. Methods: A total of 212 female and 338 male infertility patients were recruited. The statistic methods are chisqaure test and logistic regression analysis. Results: 1) Age was related to the infection of UU: the older women's age, the higher the UU infection rate. As the women's marrige age and husband age increased, the infection rate was reduced. 2) Occupation is related to the infection of UU, the infection rate being highest in the peasants group. 3) As husband smoked more cigarettes and drank more alcohol, the infection rate of UU was higher. 4) The more sexual life, the higher the infection rate. 5) The duration of infertility had nothing to do with the UU infection. Conclusion: The women's age, marriage age, husbands' age, occupution, sexual life frequency and husbands' smoking and alcoholism are factors related to UU infection.

文摘BACKGROUND Patients with deep venous thrombosis(DVT)residing at high altitudes can only rely on anticoagulation therapy,missing the optimal window for surgery or thrombolysis.Concurrently,under these conditions,patient outcomes can be easily complicated by high-altitude polycythemia(HAPC),which increases the difficulty of treatment and the risk of recurrent thrombosis.To prevent reaching this point,effective screening and targeted interventions are crucial.Thus,this study analyzes and provides a reference for the clinical prediction of thrombosis recurrence in patients with lower-extremity DVT combined with HAPC.AIM To apply the nomogram model in the evaluation of complications in patients with HAPC and DVT who underwent anticoagulation therapy.METHODS A total of 123 patients with HAPC complicated by lower-extremity DVT were followed up for 6-12 months and divided into recurrence and non-recurrence groups according to whether they experienced recurrence of lower-extremity DVT.Clinical data and laboratory indices were compared between the groups to determine the influencing factors of thrombosis recurrence in patients with lowerextremity DVT and HAPC.This study aimed to establish and verify the value of a nomogram model for predicting the risk of thrombus recurrence.RESULTS Logistic regression analysis showed that age,immobilization during follow-up,medication compliance,compliance with wearing elastic stockings,and peripheral blood D-dimer and fibrin degradation product levels were indepen-dent risk factors for thrombosis recurrence in patients with HAPC complicated by DVT.A Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness-of-fit test demonstrated that the nomogram model established based on the results of multivariate logistic regression analysis was effective in predicting the risk of thrombosis recurrence in patients with lowerextremity DVT complicated by HAPC(χ^(2)=0.873;P>0.05).The consistency index of the model was 0.802(95%CI:0.799-0.997),indicating its good accuracy and discrimination.CONCLUSION The column chart model for the personalized prediction of thrombotic recurrence risk has good application value in predicting thrombotic recurrence in patients with lower-limb DVT combined with HAPC after discharge.

文摘This article addresses where ruts are likely to occur during in-field forest operations. This was done by inspecting high-resolution surface images across New Brunswick (NB) and elsewhere to mark where ruts have (1) and have not (0) occurred in harvested cutblocks. This marking revealed 1) where off-road operations were likely done on moist to wet and unfrozen soils;and 2) whether the ruts so incurred were water-logged at the time of imaging. Through geospatial processing of the NB-wide digital elevation model (DEM, available at 1 m resolution), the following attributes were added to each of the marked rut and no-rut locations: 1) the cartographic depth-to-water (DTW) as referenced to the nearest flow channels with >1 and >4 ha upslope flow accumulation areas (FA);2) the topographic position index (TPI) in reference to the mean annulus elevation 50 m away from each DEM cell;3) mean slope and curvatures within each cell-surrounding 10-m circle;4) the terrain wetness index (TWI);5) soil association type according to the NB forest soil map, adjusted for NB’s most recent hydrographic network delineations for waterbodies and wetlands. Subjecting these data to logistic regression analysis revealed that image-located off-road rutting occurred at about 90% probability in water-accumulating zones where TPI is <0 m and DTW is <1 m. Using slope, curvature, TWI, and soil type as additional rut occurrence predictors did not affect this zonation significantly.

Effect of dyslipidemia on outcome in patients with acute ischemic stroke was analyzed by multivariate logistic regression analysis and propensity score-adjusted analysis, respectively. Results The serum levels of TC, LDL-C, and HDL-C were significantly associated with the outcome in patients with acute ischemic stroke. Multivariate logistic regression analysis and propensity score-adjusted analysis showed that the ORs and 95% CIs were 3.013 （1.259, 7.214）/2.655 （1.298, 5.43）, 3.157 （1.306, 7.631）/3.405 （1.621, 7.154）, and 0.482 （0.245, 0.946）/0.51 （0.282, O.921）, respectively, for patients with acute ischemic stroke. Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness-of-fit test showed no significant difference in observed and predicted risk in patients with acute ischemic stroke （chi-square=8.235, P=0.411）. Conclusion Serum levels of TC, LDL-C, and HDL-C are positively related with the outcome in patients with acute ischemic stroke.
