Psychometric properties are critical to making decisions about choosing a screening instrument. The purpose of the present study was to examine the psychometric properties of the student risk screening scale for internalizing and externalizing behaviors (SRSS-IE). Participants included 3145 students and their teachers. Item-level analyses of the current sample supported the retention of all items. The internal consistency of the SRSS items ranged from 0.83 to 0.85. Convergent validity between the SRSS-IE and a well-established screening tool, the strength and difficulties questionnaire (SDQ), was found for the total score (r = 0.70). Additionally, the results of this study demonstrate strong social validity, suggesting the SRSS-IE to be a useful and functional screening tool. We conclude that the SRSS-IE is a valid and reliable instrument for assessing the level of emotional and behavioral difficulties among elementary students.展开更多

This study is aimed to explore nutritional risk screening and its influencing factors of hospitalized patients in central urban area. It is helpful for the early detection of problems in nutritional supports, nutrition management and the implementation of intervention measures, which will contribute a lot to improving the patient's poor clinical outcome. A total of three tertiary medical institutions were enrolled in this study. From October 2015 to June 2016, 1202 hospitalized patients aged ≥18 years were enrolled in Nutrition Risk Screening 2002(NRS2002) for nutritional risk screening, including 8 cases who refused to participate, 5 cases of same-day surgery and 5 cases of coma. A single-factor chi-square test was performed on 312 patients with nutritional risk and 872 hospitalized patients without nutritional risk. Logistic regression analysis was performed with univariate analysis(P〈0.05), to investigate the incidence of nutritional risk and influencing factors. The incidence of nutritional risk was 26.35% in the inpatients, 25.90% in male and 26.84% in female, respectively. The single-factor analysis showed that the age ≥60, sleeping disorder, fasting, intraoperative bleeding, the surgery in recent month, digestive diseases, metabolic diseases and endocrine system diseases had significant effects on nutritional risk(P〈0.05). Having considered the above-mentioned factors as independent variables and nutritional risk(Y=1, N=0) as dependent variable, logistic regression analysis revealed that the age ≥60, fasting, sleeping disorders, the surgery in recent month and digestive diseases are hazardous factors for nutritional risk. Nutritional risk exists in hospitalized patients in central urban areas. Nutritional risk screening should be conducted for inpatients. Nutritional intervention programs should be formulated in consideration of those influencing factors, which enable to reduce the nutritional risk and to promote the rehabilitation of inpatients.展开更多

METHODS: From October 2005 to July 2006, we studied 80 patients with no evidence of recurrent disease and no loss to follow-up after curative surgery for gastric cancer. In this group, 9 patients underwent total gastrectomy and 71 patients subtotal gastrectomy. At admission, 6 and 12 mo after surgery, the patients were assessed on the subjective global assessment (SGA), nutritional risk screening (NRS-2002), nutritional risk index (NRI) and by anthropometric measurements and laboratory data. Differences between the independent groups were assessed with the Student's t test and oneway analysis of variance. Spearman's rank correlation coefficients were calculated to evaluate the association between the scores and variables. RESULTS: The prevalence of malnutrition at admissionwas 31% by SGA and 43% by NRS-2002. At admission, the anthropometric data were lower in the malnourished groups defined by the SGA and NRS-2002 assessments, but did not differ between the groups using the NRI assessment. Body weight (BW), body mass index (BMI), triceps skin fold and midarm circumference were significantly reduced, but the total lymphocyte count, albumin, protein, cholesterol and serum iron levels did not decrease during the postoperative period. Six months after surgery, there was a good correlation between the nutritional assessment tools (SGA and NRS-2002) and the other nutritional measurement tools (BW, BMI, and anthropometric measurements). However, 12 mo after surgery, most patients who were assessed as malnourished by SGA and NRS-2002 had returned to their preoperative status, although their BW, BMI, and anthropometric measurements still indicated a malnourished status. CONCLUSION: A combination of objective and subjective assessments is needed for the early detection of the nutritional status in case of gastric cancer patients after gastrectomy.展开更多

We used fixed-point continuous sampling and four nutritional screening tools, Nutritional Risk Screening 2002(NRS-2002), Mini Nutritional Assessment(MNA), Subjective Global Assessment(SGA) and Malnutrition Universal Screening Tools(MUST), in combination with body measurements, to extensively screen and evaluate nutritional risks and status in patients receiving HSCT before entering and after leaving laminar air flow rooms.Results: After HSCT, patients had significant reduction in weight, hip circumference, waist-hip ratio, calf circumference, mid-upper arm circumference, and suprailiac skinfold thickness compared with pre-HSCT measurements. Before HSCT, NRS-2002 identified that 21.2% of patients were at nutritional risks, compared with100% after HSCT. MUST indicated that before HSCT, 11.77% of patients were at high nutritional risk,compared with 59.63% after HSCT. MNA assessed that 0.06% of patients were malnourished before HSCT,compared with 19.27% after HSCT. SGA identified that before HSCT, 1.76% of patients had mild to severe malnutrition, which increased to 83.3% after HSCT. There is a significant increase in the nutritional risk and malnutrition in patients who received HSCT.Conclusions: Before HSCT, some patients already had nutritional risk or nutritional deficiencies, and prompt and close nutritional screening or assessment should be performed. The nutritional status of patients after HSCT was generally deteriorated compared with that before transplantation. Body measurements should be taken more frequently during the subsequent treatment window in the laminar air flow rooms. After HSCT, it is recommended to combine MNA and SGA to fully evaluate the nutritional status, and thus provide timely and reasonable nutritional support.展开更多

Of all types of abdominal cancer, colorectal cancer(CRC) is undoubtedly the most frequent. Median age at diagnosis is approximately 70 years old worldwide. Due to the multiple comorbidities affecting elderly people, frailty evaluation is very important in order to avoid over- or undertreatment. This pilot study was designed to investigate the variables capable of predicting the long-term risk of mortality and living situation after surgery for CRC.Methods: Patients with 70 years old and older undergoing elective surgery for CRC were prospectively enrolled in the study. The patients were preoperatively screened using 11 internationally-validated-frailty-assessment tests. The endpoints of the study were long-term mortality and living situation. The data were analyzed using univariate Cox proportional-hazard regression analysis to verify the predictive value of score indices in order to identify possible risk factors.Results: Forty-six patients were studied. The median follow-up time after surgery was 4.6 years(range, 2.9-5.7 years) and no patients were lost to follow-up. The overall mortality rate was 39%. Four of the patients who survived(4/28, 14%) lost their functional autonomy. The preoperative impaired Timed Up and Go(TUG), Eastern Cooperative Group Performance Status(ECOG PS), Instrumental Activities of Daily Living(IADLs), Vulnerable Elders Survey(VES-13) scoring systems were significantly associated with increased long term mortality risk.Conclusion: Simplified frailty-assessing tools should be routinely used in elderly cancer patients before treatment in order to stratify patient risk. The TUG, ECOG-PS, IADLs and VES-13 scoring systems are potentially able to predict long-term mortality and disability. Additional studies will be needed to confirm the preliminary data in order to improve management strategies for oncogeriatric surgical patients.展开更多

Methods The population consisted of inpatients in the department of general surgery, gastroenterological medicine and respiratory medicine of Rui Jin Hospital. The nutritional status of the inpatients was assessed through body mass index (BMI) ,laboratory test and Nutritional Risk Screening 2002 (NRS). Results The mean prevalence of nutritional risk judging by NRS was 24.6% without difference among each department. The elderly inpatents expressed more mildly and moderately increased requirement and at nutritional risk than the non-elderly. And the prevalence of malnutrition judging by BMI, albumin, prealbumin, lymphocyte count was 11.7 96,48.7 96,32.6 % and 46. 5% respectively. The laboratory indexes of patients at nutritional risk were significantly lower than those of the non-risk patients. Conclusion There exists difference among the results judging by NRS, BMI, albumin, prealbumin and lymphocyte count. It is necessary to assess the nutritional status of inpatients in order to offer a reasonable and effective nutritional therapy to the patients at nutritional risk.展开更多

文摘Background The use of nutritional risk screening and assessment is becoming increasingly common in cancer patients.The Nutritional Risk Screening 2002(NRS 2002)is a nutritional risk screening programe with good utility.The patient generated-subjective global assessment(PG-SGA)is a method used to assess the nutritional status of cancer patients.The prognostic nutritional index(PNI)and neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio(NLR)are considered to be predictors of the prognosis following treatment for patients with a variety of cancers.However,the relationship between the PNI and NLR in the nutritional screening and assessment in patients with gastric cancer is unknown.Methods A retrospective analysis was performed on 378 patients with gastric cancer who underwent surgery at the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangxi Medical University from August 2019 to December 2020.NRS 2002 and PG-SGA were performed within 24 hours of admission,and indicators such as the serum albumin level,body mass index(BMI),PNI and NLR were measured.Results In the grouping based on the NRS2002,patients in the positive group(NRS 2002≥3)had a higher platelet value,a higher median NLR,and a lower PNI than those in the negative group(NRS 2002<3)(295.50±118.49×10^(9)/L vs.269.36±93.52×10^(9)/L,2.38 vs.1.77,42.36±5.96 vs.46.64±4.29).Based on the PG-SGA grouping,the serum albumin level and lymphocyte count were highest in the mild group(PG-SGA:score 2-3),(36.94±3.51 g/L and 1.91±0.7610^(9)/L)and lowest within the severe group(PG SGA score≥9)(34.09±4.18 g/L and 1.51±0.6410^(9)/L).The BMI was highest in the mild group(23.35±3.00 kg/m^(2))and lowest in the severe group(20.63±2.97 kg/m^(2)),and the PNI was also highest in the mild group(46.50±5.17)and lowest in the severe group(41.64±5.53).However,the NLR was lowest in the mild group(median 1.91)and highest in the severe group(median 2.44).Conclusion The PNI and NLR in gastric cancer patients are closely related to the results of the nutritional risk screening and assessment,suggesting that they may be useful to guide the nutritional interventions for gastric cancer patients.
文摘Objective:To investigate the clinical value of using preoperative nutritional risk screening and support in gastric cancer patients.Methods:In this paper,70 gastric cancer patients selected from July 2017 to July 2020 treated in our hospital were grouped concerning the lottery method,and the reference group(n=35)used conventional nutritional support,while the experimental group(n=35)used preoperative dietary risk screening and support,comparing the clinical treatment differences between gastric cancer patients in the experimental group and the reference group.Results:After the intervention,IgA,IgM,IgG,serum albumin,complication rate,NRS score,hospitalization time and anal exhaust time of gastric cancer patients in the experimental group were compared with those in the reference group,P<0.05,and there was statistical validation analysis significance between the data indicators.P<0.05 for the comparison of IgA,IgM,IgG,serum albumin after the intervention and pre-intervention for gastric cancer patients in the experimental group and the reference group,with statistical validation analysis significance between the data indicators.Conclusion:Preoperative nutritional risk screening and support is of significant value in gastric cancer patients and can improve patients’nutritional status.

文摘Cerebral venous thrombosis(CVT)is a rare condition that can be fatal in severe cases.The limited occurrence of CVT poses challenges in conducting randomized controlled trials,leading to uncertainty regarding the effectiveness of endovascular thrombectomy(EVT)in specific subgroups of patients with CVT.Currently,a growing body of new evidence has been published on various aspects of CVT diagnosis and treatment,including studies on prognosis assessment scales and EVT therapy.Anticoagulation remains the primary treatment during the acute phase of CVT,as demonstrated by the thrombolysis or anticoagulation for cerebral venous thrombosis(TOACT)clinical trial.This study revealed that EVT combined with standard medical care did not improve functional outcomes for patients with severe CVT.Several risk screening scores have been developed to predict CVT prognosis,and some of these scales have been shown to perform adequately.The question of whether EVT is beneficial for patients with CVT,and to which subgroups of patients it should be offered,still remains unsettled.Large global research collaborations should be established to address current challenges and facilitate the execution of clinical trials.

文摘BACKGROUND:Nutritional risk is common among patients admitted to the emergency department and is associated with adverse clinical outcomes.Despite its large population,few comprehensive studies have been conducted in China concerning the nutritional status of patients admitted to emergency department observation units(EDOUs).METHODS:Patients admitted to EDOUs of 90 tertiary hospitals in China between June 2020 and December 2020 were enrolled.Demographic information,laboratory parameters,nutritional support therapies,and 28-day mortality were recorded.Risk factors for mortality were examined using multi-variateadjusted logistic regression analysis.Receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curves for each predictor of mortality were plotted,and the area under the ROC(AUROC)curves was compared.RESULTS:A total of 2,005 eligible patients were finally enrolled.At the 28-day follow-up,1,911 patients survived,and 94 died.The group with a Nutritional Risk Screening 2002(NRS 2002)score of 3-4 points was the largest(52.01%).The number of patients receiving oral nutritional supplements,enteral nutrition(EN),parenteral nutrition(PN),and the combination of EN and PN was 425,314,853,and 413,respectively.Among the total,77.55%of patients had nutritional risk(NRS 2002≥3).The proportion of patients with high nutritional risk(NRS2002≥5)in the age group>80 years was significantly higher than that in the age group 66-80 years(29.00%vs.23.93%,P=0.032),but not significantly higher than that in the age group 18-65 years(29.00%vs.26.54%,P=0.449).Logistic regression analysis revealed that heart failure(odds ratio[OR]1.856,95%confidence interval[CI]1.087-3.167,P=0.023),consciousness(OR 2.967,95%CI 1.894-4.648,P<0.001),Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II(APACHE II)score(OR 1.037,95%CI 1.017-1.058,P<0.001),NRS 2002 score(OR 1.286,95%CI 1.115-1.483,P=0.001),and Mini Nutritional Assessment-Short Form score(OR 0.946,95%CI 0.898-0.997,P=0.039)were all independent risk factors for 28-day mortality.APACHE II and NRS 2002 scores were superior to other predictors according to the comparison of AUROC.CONCLUSIONS:Nutritional risk is prevalent among older patients in EDOUs in China.APACHE II and NRS 2002 scores are important risk factors for mortality in patients admitted to the EDOU.Timely and appropriate nutritional screening and support measures are critical to reduce patients’length of hospital stay and mortality.

文摘AIM: To evaluate the prevalence of preoperative and postoperative malnutrition and the relationships between objective and subjective nutritional assessment of gastric cancer patients. METHODS: From October 2005 to July 2006, we studied 80 patients with no evidence of recurrent disease and no loss to follow-up after curative surgery for gastric cancer. In this group, 9 patients underwent total gastrectomy and 71 patients subtotal gastrectomy. At admission, 6 and 12 mo after surgery, the patients were assessed on the subjective global assessment (SGA), nutritional risk screening (NRS-2002), nutritional risk index (NRI) and by anthropometric measurements and laboratory data. Differences between the independent groups were assessed with the Student's t test and oneway analysis of variance. Spearman's rank correlation coefficients were calculated to evaluate the association between the scores and variables. RESULTS: The prevalence of malnutrition at admissionwas 31% by SGA and 43% by NRS-2002. At admission, the anthropometric data were lower in the malnourished groups defined by the SGA and NRS-2002 assessments, but did not differ between the groups using the NRI assessment. Body weight (BW), body mass index (BMI), triceps skin fold and midarm circumference were significantly reduced, but the total lymphocyte count, albumin, protein, cholesterol and serum iron levels did not decrease during the postoperative period. Six months after surgery, there was a good correlation between the nutritional assessment tools (SGA and NRS-2002) and the other nutritional measurement tools (BW, BMI, and anthropometric measurements). However, 12 mo after surgery, most patients who were assessed as malnourished by SGA and NRS-2002 had returned to their preoperative status, although their BW, BMI, and anthropometric measurements still indicated a malnourished status. CONCLUSION: A combination of objective and subjective assessments is needed for the early detection of the nutritional status in case of gastric cancer patients after gastrectomy.
文摘Objective: To investigate the nutritional status of patients before and after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation(HSCT), and explore optimal methods for assessing nutritional status in patients with hematological diseases.Methods: This cohort study enrolled 170 patients who were diagnosed with hematological diseases and underwent allogeneic HSCT in the Department of Hematology, Peking University People's Hospital between May2011 and April 2013. We used fixed-point continuous sampling and four nutritional screening tools, Nutritional Risk Screening 2002(NRS-2002), Mini Nutritional Assessment(MNA), Subjective Global Assessment(SGA) and Malnutrition Universal Screening Tools(MUST), in combination with body measurements, to extensively screen and evaluate nutritional risks and status in patients receiving HSCT before entering and after leaving laminar air flow rooms.Results: After HSCT, patients had significant reduction in weight, hip circumference, waist-hip ratio, calf circumference, mid-upper arm circumference, and suprailiac skinfold thickness compared with pre-HSCT measurements. Before HSCT, NRS-2002 identified that 21.2% of patients were at nutritional risks, compared with100% after HSCT. MUST indicated that before HSCT, 11.77% of patients were at high nutritional risk,compared with 59.63% after HSCT. MNA assessed that 0.06% of patients were malnourished before HSCT,compared with 19.27% after HSCT. SGA identified that before HSCT, 1.76% of patients had mild to severe malnutrition, which increased to 83.3% after HSCT. There is a significant increase in the nutritional risk and malnutrition in patients who received HSCT.Conclusions: Before HSCT, some patients already had nutritional risk or nutritional deficiencies, and prompt and close nutritional screening or assessment should be performed. The nutritional status of patients after HSCT was generally deteriorated compared with that before transplantation. Body measurements should be taken more frequently during the subsequent treatment window in the laminar air flow rooms. After HSCT, it is recommended to combine MNA and SGA to fully evaluate the nutritional status, and thus provide timely and reasonable nutritional support.
文摘Objective: Cancer is one of the most common diagnoses in elderly patients. Of all types of abdominal cancer, colorectal cancer(CRC) is undoubtedly the most frequent. Median age at diagnosis is approximately 70 years old worldwide. Due to the multiple comorbidities affecting elderly people, frailty evaluation is very important in order to avoid over- or undertreatment. This pilot study was designed to investigate the variables capable of predicting the long-term risk of mortality and living situation after surgery for CRC.Methods: Patients with 70 years old and older undergoing elective surgery for CRC were prospectively enrolled in the study. The patients were preoperatively screened using 11 internationally-validated-frailty-assessment tests. The endpoints of the study were long-term mortality and living situation. The data were analyzed using univariate Cox proportional-hazard regression analysis to verify the predictive value of score indices in order to identify possible risk factors.Results: Forty-six patients were studied. The median follow-up time after surgery was 4.6 years(range, 2.9-5.7 years) and no patients were lost to follow-up. The overall mortality rate was 39%. Four of the patients who survived(4/28, 14%) lost their functional autonomy. The preoperative impaired Timed Up and Go(TUG), Eastern Cooperative Group Performance Status(ECOG PS), Instrumental Activities of Daily Living(IADLs), Vulnerable Elders Survey(VES-13) scoring systems were significantly associated with increased long term mortality risk.Conclusion: Simplified frailty-assessing tools should be routinely used in elderly cancer patients before treatment in order to stratify patient risk. The TUG, ECOG-PS, IADLs and VES-13 scoring systems are potentially able to predict long-term mortality and disability. Additional studies will be needed to confirm the preliminary data in order to improve management strategies for oncogeriatric surgical patients.

文摘Objective To examine the utility of the Nutrition Risk Screening 2002(NRS 2002),Patient-Generated Subjective Global Assessment(PG-SGA)and serum factors for the preoperative evaluation of gastric cancer patients.Methods We examined 181 gastric cancer patients treated at the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangxi Medical University from January 2015 to January 2018.Nutritional assessments were administered within 48 h of admission.The body mass index(BMI)and serum factors were measured,and information on preoperative nutritional support and postoperative complications was recorded.Results Both the NRS 2002 and PG-SGA had positive correlations with age(P<0.05),and negative correlations with albumin,prealbumin,transferrin,hemoglobin,BMI,and bodyweight(P<0.05).The NRS 2002 and PG-SGA scores were positively correlated with each other(r=0.683,P<0.01),but had poor consistency(κ=0.357,P<0.01).During the preoperative period,33.2%of patients received nutritional support,mainly enteral nutrition.The nutritional risk group(NRS 2002≥3)received more support than the group without nutritional risk(NRS 2002<3;P<0.05).Patients with nutritional risk or malnutrition who received preoperative nutritional support had fewer postoperative complications than unsupported patients.The overall rate of complications was 12.2%,and the rate of severe complications(gradeⅢor above)was 5.5%.The malnutrition and nutritional risk groups had higher rates of severe complications.Conclusions The combined application of the NRS 2002,PG-SGA,BMI,and serum nutritional indices was useful for the nutritional screening and assessment of preoperative gastric cancer patients.The NRS 2002 and PG-SGA provided guidance on the need for nutritional support during the preoperative period.
文摘Objective To compare the value and consistency among the Patient Generated-Subjective Global Assessment(PG-SGA)and the Prognostic Nutrition Index(PNI)for assessing nutritional status in gastrointestinal tumor patients.Methods 251 patients from gastric cancer surgical ward from January 2019 to January 2020 were recruited through convenience sampling in this respective study.Nutritional screening and assessment were conducted for 251 gastrointestinal tumor patients using the nutritional risk screening 2002(NRS 2002)PG-SGA,and the PNI.PNI was calculated using the serum albumin level and the total lymphocyte count obtained from the patients’routine laboratory examination when they were admitted to the hospital.The receiver operating characteristic(ROC)of the PG SGA and the PNI were plotted with the NRS 2002 used as the gold standard,and the diagnostic value of the PG-SGA and PNI was reflected by the area under the curve(AUC),sensitivity,specificity and Youden index.We then determined the optimal cut-off for the PNI and tested the consistency of the PG-SGA and PNI.Results The optimal cut-off point for the PNI was calculated to be 50.78.The AUC of the PG-SGA was 0.908(95%CI 0.871-0.944).The sensitivity was 89.9%,specificity was 76.2%and the Youden index was 0.661.The AUC of the PNI was 0.594(95%CI 0.516-0.572).The sensitivity was 73.8%,specificity was 44.3%and the Youden index was 0.181.In the consistency test,the kappa value was 0.838(P<0.001).Conclusion The PNI is of limited value for assessing malnutrition,although it did have good consistency with the PG-SGA.The combination of the PNI and PG-SGA can be used for diagnosing assessing malnutrition in clinical practice.
文摘Objectives To estimate prevalence of malnutrition by NRS, BMI and laboratory tests, to analyze the relationship between NRS and different variables. Methods The population consisted of inpatients in the department of general surgery, gastroenterological medicine and respiratory medicine of Rui Jin Hospital. The nutritional status of the inpatients was assessed through body mass index (BMI) ,laboratory test and Nutritional Risk Screening 2002 (NRS). Results The mean prevalence of nutritional risk judging by NRS was 24.6% without difference among each department. The elderly inpatents expressed more mildly and moderately increased requirement and at nutritional risk than the non-elderly. And the prevalence of malnutrition judging by BMI, albumin, prealbumin, lymphocyte count was 11.7 96,48.7 96,32.6 % and 46. 5% respectively. The laboratory indexes of patients at nutritional risk were significantly lower than those of the non-risk patients. Conclusion There exists difference among the results judging by NRS, BMI, albumin, prealbumin and lymphocyte count. It is necessary to assess the nutritional status of inpatients in order to offer a reasonable and effective nutritional therapy to the patients at nutritional risk.

文摘Early or very early detection of hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC)is an effective means to resolve the low cure rates,but there currently lacks a method that fulfills clinical requirements.One of the most prospective approaches to detecting early-stage HCC is directly testing a compendium of disease-relevant biomolecules contained within human serum through surface-enhanced Raman scattering(SERS)nanobiosensing and recognizing the biomolecular patterns.We report a novel Si-based bimetallic nanoensembles-functionalized SERS substrate(its analytical enhancement factor reaches 1.47×10^(12))and introduce an ultrasensitive nanobiosensing for capturing the subtle characteristic changes in SERS spectra caused by HCC,hepatitis B,or cirrhosis.Toward early diagnosis,we created an intelligent serological test with this nanobiosensing and the deep learning algorithm to gain key biomolecular phenotypes of early-stage HCC.Using clinical samples from four target populations(normal,HCC,cirrhosis,and hepatitis B),the proof-of-principle result indicates that the test yielded a predictive accuracy of 98.75%on a held-out dataset(randomly drew 4 out of 28 samples per population).On the same held-out dataset,the sensitivity and specificity of the test were both 100%for distinguishing HCC.Such a new-concept liquid biopsy could provide an opportunity for early diagnosis of HCC.
