Data recorded on arrival at the ED were used. The serum sample of high-sensitivity cardiac Troponin I other than conventional cardiac Troponin I used in the HEART risk score was tested. The modified HEART risk score was calculated. The end point was the occurrence of major adverse cardiac events (MACE) defined as a composite of acute myocardial infarction (AMI), percu-taneous intervention (PCI), coronary artery bypass graft (CABG), or all-cause death, within three months after initial presentation.Results A total of 1,300 patients were enrolled. A total of 606 patients (46.6%) had a MACE within three months: 205 patients (15.8%) were diag-nosed with AMI, 465 patients (35.8%) underwent PCI, and 119 patients (9.2%) underwent CABG. There were 10 (0.8%) deaths. A progres-sive, significant pattern of increasing event rate was observed as the score increased (P < 0.001 byχ2 for trend). The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve was 0.84. All patients were classified into three groups: low risk (score 0-2), intermediate risk (score 3-4), and high risk (score 5-10). Event rates were 1.1%, 18.5%, and 67.0%, respectively (P < 0.001).ConclusionsThe modified HEART risk score was validated in chest pain patients with suspected NSTE-ACS and may complement MACE risk assessment and patients triage in the ED. A prospective study of the score is warranted.展开更多
目的:评价和确定Braden-Q儿童压疮评估量表用于诊断住院患儿压疮高风险的最佳临界值。方法:对2014年1至6月在我院住院且Braden-Q量表≤24分的372例患者进行住院期间压疮发生情况追踪分析,采用灵敏度、特异度、阳性预测值、阴性预测值...目的:评价和确定Braden-Q儿童压疮评估量表用于诊断住院患儿压疮高风险的最佳临界值。方法:对2014年1至6月在我院住院且Braden-Q量表≤24分的372例患者进行住院期间压疮发生情况追踪分析,采用灵敏度、特异度、阳性预测值、阴性预测值、约登指数和受试者工作特征曲线(receiver operating characteristic,ROC)确定和评价Braden-Q量表诊断压疮高度危险的临界值。结果:372例研究对象中有37.73%的患者Braden-Q评分≤16分(最低11分),72.27%的患者Braden-Q评分17~24分;共发生院内压疮21例,其分值主要集中在13~16分。当Braden-Q量表诊断压疮高危的临界值为16分时,其预测压疮危险的灵敏度为0.826,特异度为0.759,阳性预测值为0.185,阴性预测值为0.985,约登指数(0.585)较其他临界值更大,Braden-Q量表ROC曲线下面积(area under curve,AUC)为0.923。结论:Braden-Q量表16分是诊断儿童压疮高度危险的最佳临界值,能够很好地预测儿童发生压疮的风险,具有较高的诊断价值。展开更多
