However,Yushu Earthquake is the highest quake in the world at altitudes between 3 750 m and 4 878 m where is a serious hypoxic environment. A high incidence of acute altitude illness was found in the unacclimatized rescuers;the mountain rescue operation changed as "rescue the rescuers". Lesson from the Yushu Earthquake is that the occurrence of acute altitude illness may be closely related to the ascent schedules. This prompted us to study the relationship between ascent rate and the incidence and severity of acute altitude illness;five different groups were compared. The first group was 42 sea level male young soldiers who ascended to quake area very rapidly within 8 h at 4 000 m;the second group was 48 sea level male young soldiers who ascended to 4 000 m rapidly less than 18 h;the third group was 66 acclimatized medical workers from 2 261 m who ascended to 4 000 m rapidly within 12 h;the fourth group was 56 Tibetan medical workers from 2 800 m who ascended to 4 000 m rapidly within 8 h;the fifth group was 50 male sea level workers who ascended to 4 000 m gradually over a period of 4 d. The results showed that the sea level rescuers ascended to 4 000 m very rapidly or rapidly had the highest incidence of acute mountain sickness (AMS) with the greatest AMS scores and the lowest arterial oxygen saturation (SaO2);the sea level workers ascended to 4 000 m gradually had moderate incidence of AMS with moderate AMS scores and SaO2 values;whereas the acclimatized and adapted rescuers had the lowest incidence of AMS,lowest AMS scores and higher SaO2;especially none AMS occurred in Tibetan rescuers. AMS score is inversely related to the ascent rate (r=-0.24,p< 0.001). Additionally,acute altitude illness is significantly influenced by altitude acclimatization. The ascent rate is inversely re- lated to the period of altitude acclimatization whereas the time of perfect recovered from AMS is positively correlated to the time taken to acclimatize. Generally,the best means of preventing acute altitude illness is slow and gradual ascent to high altitude,as this allows time for establishing altitude acclimatization and tolerance to the hypoxic environment. However,during an emergency circumstance,such as mountain rescue operation,the rescuers must rapidly ascend to high altitude,so a series of preventive strategies including pre-acclimatization,using some prophylactic drugs and oxygen supplementary are sorely necessary.展开更多

Methods: We conducted a retrospective chart review in intensive care unit (ICU) patients with a body mass index (BMI) < 20.0 kg/m<sup>2</sup>. Patients were categorized into Group R, which reached the energy target within 3 days of EEN initiation, and Group S, which reached the energy target 4 or more days after EEN initiation. Results: A total of 65 patients with a median age of 73 years were included in the study. No significant differences were observed between the two groups for all-cause mortality, ICU-free days, or length of hospital stay. Ventilator-free days (VFDs) were significantly fewer in Group R than in Group S (18.0 [0.0 - 22.0] vs. 21.0 [16.3 - 24.8] days;P = 0.046). A significantly higher number of patients requiring mechanical ventilation (MV) at hospital discharge were observed in Group R than in Group S (29% vs. 8%;P = 0.030). Multivariable analyses with adjustment for confounders found that days required to reach target energy intake after EEN initiation were significantly and independently associated with the requirement for MV at hospital discharge, but not with VFDs. Conclusion: A slow rate of feeding advancement after initiation of EEN in critically ill patients having a BMI of <20.0 kg/m<sup>2</sup> might be associated with a reduced requirement for MV at hospital discharge. These results require confirmation in a large multicenter trial of underweight, critically ill patients.展开更多

Methods: Respiratory samples were collected from patients with influenza-like illness from 2009-2013 as part of routine diagnostic and surveillance activity. Detection of pandemic inl uenza A(H1N1) 2009, inl uenza A(H3N2) and inl uenza B was done using Real-time PCR. Results: Of the total 2 247 samples collected from patients with inl uenza-like illness during the study period 287(12.7%) and 92(4.0%) were positive for inl uenza A(H1N1) 2009 and inl uenza A(H3N2) respectively. A subset of 557 of these samples were also tested for inl uenza B and 24(4.3%) were positive. Signii cantly higher positivity rate for both viruses was observed in adults when compared with children. The peak positivity of influenza A(H1N1) 2009 was observed in 2009 followed by 2012, while that of inl uenza A(H3N2) was more uniformly distributed with the exception of 2012. Overall mortality rate due to influenza A(H1N1) 2009 was 7.6% while it was 1% for influenza A(H3N2). Each year influenza-like illness and influenza virus activity coincided with period of high rainfall and low temperature except in the first half of 2012. Conclusions: As the sole referral laboratory in this region, the data provides a comprehensive picture of inl uenza activity. This information will be useful in future planning of the vaccine schedule and inl uenza pandemic preparedness.展开更多

Any article, either a review or an original-research article was examined for its relevance to the subject. All such articles were manually searched to locate any further articles containing relevant information. Studies were included only if they had adequately described the patient sample, assessment methods and statistical procedures, presented their results systematically and their conclusions were congruent with the results.RESULTS The initial search yielded 249 articles on the subject; of these 198 articles were included. Of the 162 originalresearch studies, 132 had provided information on rates of medication non-adherence in BD. There was a wide variation in rates ranging from universal adherence(100%) to almost universal non-adherence(96%); this discrepancy was more due to methodological differences than true variations in rates. Notwithstanding the significant discrepancies in methodology, based on these 132 studies mean rates of 41.5%-43% and median rates of 40%-41% were obtained for medication non-adherence in BD. Rates of adherence with mood stabilizers were significantly lower than those for antipsychotics, or for medications of all classes. None of the demographic attributes were unequivocally linked to medication non-adherence in BD. Similarly, medication-related variables such as type of medications, doses, treatment regimens and side effects did not demonstrate consistent associations with non-adherence. Among clinical characteristics the presence of comorbid substance use disorder and absence of insight were the only two factors clearly linked to non-adherence in BD.CONCLUSION Medication non-adherence is prevalent in about a thirdto half of patients with BD. Demographic, illness and treatment related factors do not predict non-adherence with certainty.展开更多

The results showed that the sea level rescuers ascended to 4 000 m very rapidly or rapidly had the highest incidence of acute mountain sickness (AMS) with the greatest AMS scores and the lowest arterial oxygen saturation (SaO2);the sea level workers ascended to 4 000 m gradually had moderate incidence of AMS with moderate AMS scores and SaO2 values;whereas the acclimatized and adapted rescuers had the lowest incidence of AMS,lowest AMS scores and higher SaO2;especially none AMS occurred in Tibetan rescuers.

文摘Background: The optimal rate of feeding advancement after initiation of early enteral nutrition (EEN) for underweight, critically ill patients is unknown. Methods: We conducted a retrospective chart review in intensive care unit (ICU) patients with a body mass index (BMI) < 20.0 kg/m<sup>2</sup>. Patients were categorized into Group R, which reached the energy target within 3 days of EEN initiation, and Group S, which reached the energy target 4 or more days after EEN initiation. Results: A total of 65 patients with a median age of 73 years were included in the study. No significant differences were observed between the two groups for all-cause mortality, ICU-free days, or length of hospital stay. Ventilator-free days (VFDs) were significantly fewer in Group R than in Group S (18.0 [0.0 - 22.0] vs. 21.0 [16.3 - 24.8] days;P = 0.046). A significantly higher number of patients requiring mechanical ventilation (MV) at hospital discharge were observed in Group R than in Group S (29% vs. 8%;P = 0.030). Multivariable analyses with adjustment for confounders found that days required to reach target energy intake after EEN initiation were significantly and independently associated with the requirement for MV at hospital discharge, but not with VFDs. Conclusion: A slow rate of feeding advancement after initiation of EEN in critically ill patients having a BMI of <20.0 kg/m<sup>2</sup> might be associated with a reduced requirement for MV at hospital discharge. These results require confirmation in a large multicenter trial of underweight, critically ill patients.

文摘目的 研究红细胞分布宽度-白蛋白比值(red cell distribution width-albumin ratio,RAR)与老年危重症患者病死率的相关性。方法 采用回顾性队列研究设计,选择2007年—2020年重症监护室医学信息(Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care,MIMIC)数据库中所有符合纳入标准的患者作为研究对象,根据RAR三分位间距将其分成三组。比较分析三组一般资料,绘制Kaplan-Meier生存曲线评估不同RAR组患者28d病死率。采用Cox比例风险回归模型确定RAR与病死率的校正风险比。绘制限制性立方样条研究RAR作为连续变量对病死率的影响。亚组分析采用层次回归模型。结果 共12 293例患者纳入研究,其中RAR≤4.09组4 114例,4.09 5.31组4 086例。Kaplan-Meier生存曲线显示RAR>5.31组28d病死率最高(34.04%)。单因素Cox回归分析发现RAR与28d病死率相关(HR=1.24,95%CI:1.22~1.26,P<0.001)。Cox回归模型发现,调整潜在混杂因素后高RAR仍然是28d病死率的独立危险因素(HR=1.15,95%CI:1.13~1.18,P<0.001)。亚组分析显示RAR对28d病死率的影响效应在年龄、血小板、性别等亚组高(P<0.05)。限制性立方样条显示RAR与28d病死率基本呈线性正相关。结论 高RAR水平是老年危重症患者病死率的独立危险因素。
文摘目的 利用入住重症监护病房(intensive care unit, ICU)时的血压变异度(CV-MAP)及心率变异度(CV-HR)构建预测模型,预测ICU患者院内死亡的风险。方法 回顾性分析在美国重症监护医学信息数据库Ⅲ(medical information mart for intensive care, MIMICⅢ)中年龄≥18岁,且首次入住ICU患者的临床资料。通过多因素Logistic分析筛选危险因素并构建评分系统,采用受试者工作特征(receiver operator characteristic, ROC)曲线和校准曲线评估模型区分度和校准度,采用临床决策曲线评估模型实际应用价值。结果 共筛选符合标准的患者38 824例,院内死亡患者4075例(住院病死率为10.5%)。从危险因素中选择年龄、是否合并肝脏疾病、是否合并血液系统恶性肿瘤、是否合并转移癌、住院类型、24 h心率变异系数、24 h血压变异系数、是否使用血管活性药、是否接受镇痛治疗、是否接受镇静治疗、是否接受有创机械通气构建简化预测模型。模型预测院内死亡的ROC曲线下面积(AUC)为0.743(95%CI 0.735~0.750,P<0.001),Hosmer-Lemeshow检验χ^(2)=4.978,P=0.083。使用Bootstrap法进行1000次重复采样进行内部验证,校正曲线判断预测值与实际值一致性较好。决策曲线分析提示,在高阈值风险0.1~0.6时,预测模型具有较高的实用价值。结论 基于CV-MAP及CV-HR建立ICU患者院内死亡风险预测模型具有较好的临床预测价值,有助于识别高危患者。
