The post-marketing clinical safety re-evaluation studies of traditional Chinese medicine injections have obtained safety evidence of various research types such as active monitoring, passive monitoring and literature review. However, there is a lack of comprehensive evaluation methods that can effectively integrate the data of the above research types. So far, it is impossible to further produce more comprehensive and objective high-level evidence-based evidence, which seriously affects the supervision and management of traditional Chinese medicine injections and clinical rational use. The key to establishment of a comprehensive evaluation method is to first establish a comprehensive evaluation of the core indicators of the preferred method, the formation of weighted quantitative scoring model applied to the comprehensive evaluation method. Mixed methods research (MMR) can effectively and deeply integrate different types of research data and scientifically and normatively complete the screening of indicators in the evaluation model through repeated quantitative and qualitative research on data. Secondly, for the most critical index weighting and weight adjustment research in the model construction research, the author innovatively combines the analytic hierarchy process with the invariant weight sub-constraint method, and introduces the quantitative research part of the MMR design. It ensures the accurate weighting of indicators in the process of model construction. Therefore, based on the research on the core outcome set proposed for the core outcome outcomes of the effectiveness test, this paper proposes the use of MMR to carry out index screening and weight adjustment research based on multi-source complex data, and to construct a comprehensive evaluation model of post-marketing clinical safety of traditional Chinese medicine injections that integrates different research types of data. It provides measurement tools and new methods for the comprehensive evaluation of post-marketing clinical safety of traditional Chinese medicine injections.
ObjectiveTo construct an evaluation index system for the dissemination influence of new media health science popularization, providing a quantitative evaluation tool for comprehensively assessing the dissemination influence of health science communication works.

ResultsA total of 18 studies were included through retrieval. On the basis of preliminary evaluation index system, ten experts in related professional fields were invited to participate in two rounds of expert consultation, resulting in an evaluation index system framework that includes 2 first-level indicators, 4 second-level indicators, and 9 third-level indicators. ConclusionA preliminary evaluation index system for the dissemination and influence of new media health science communication works, which is reliable, universally applicable, and has a reasonable structure, is constructed.
With the advancement of research on rare ocular diseases such as inherited retinal dystrophy (IRD) has advanced in recent years, especially breakthroughs in therapeutic approaches represented by cell and gene therapy, potential intervention strategies have emerged for these conditions. Establishing standardized endpoints and evaluation methods for visual function in patients with IRD has become crucial for assessing disease progression, safety, and therapeutic efficacy of innovative treatments. Best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) is widely recognized as one of the primary endpoints for assessing visual function. However, for IRD patients with severe rod photoreceptor dysfunction, who often present with profound low vision or even legal blindness, the applicability of BCVA as a traditional visual function indicator is limited. The multi-luminance mobility test (MLMT) has emerged as a functional visual assessment tool that evaluates the ability to navigate obstacle courses under varying illumination levels. By establishing graded evaluation standards, MLMT objectively quantifies the impact of lighting conditions on patients’ nobility and spatial orientation, providing a novel quantitative tool for assessing visual function in IRD clinical trials. Currently, there is a lack of unified and standardized guidelines for the use of MLMT in China, posing challenges to its implementation in practical clinical research. To address this, Ocular Fundus Disease Society of Chinese Medical Association and Chinese Medical Doctor Association convened a multidisciplinary team comprising clinical experts in genetic retinal diseases, statisticians, and optical specialists to investigate the current applications and technical characteristics of MLMT, ultimately formulating consensus recommendations for its use as a clinical trial endpoint for IRD gene therapies. This consensus aims to provide a set of MLMT operating norms applicable to China's national conditions, guide clinical practice and research in ophthalmology and related disciplines, and promote the standardization process of IRD clinical trials in China, so as to better serve the IRD patient population and promote the development of related fields.
ObjectiveTo summarize the evaluation indexes of health resource utilization efficiency in enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) , so as to provide reference for the construction of evaluation index system.MethodLiteratures on the allocation, utilization, and efficiency of ERAS health resources at home and abroad in recent years were reviewed and analyzed.ResultsAt present, no systematic evaluation index system of ERAS health resources utilization efficiency had been formed at home and abroad. In the research, the formulation direction of input index mainly included ERAS human resources allocation and material resources allocation, while the formulation direction of output index mainly included ERAS medical resources utilization.ConclusionsThe evaluation system of ERAS health resources utilization efficiency is not perfect and the research scope of its index system is too small, which restricts the standardization promotion of ERAS. It is an urgent problem to construct a scientific evaluation index system for ERAS health resources utilization efficiency.
ObjectiveTo observe the effect of silver dressings on treating diabetic foot ulcer infection. MethodsA total of 105 patients with diabetic foot ulcers treated from May 2012 to April 2014 were randomly divided into two groups:group A and B. Patients in group A were treated with imported silver ion alginate dressing, while group B was treated with domestic nanometer silver dressing. All patients were given basic treatment, and the effect of silver dressing was evaluated by observing bacterial clearance rate and wound healing score. ResultsThere were significant improvement in bacterial clearance rate and wound healing score in both two groups after treatment. The bacterial clearance rate was similar between the two groups (P>0.05). However, the descending trend of wound healing score in group A was significantly more obvious than group B (P<0.01). ConclusionBoth two silver dressings are effective in the treatment of diabetic foot ulcer infection, but the effectiveness of silver ion alginate dressing is superior. Bacterial clearance rate and wound healing score are objective and applicable index to evaluate the treatment effects of silver dressing.
Day surgery is a new medical service model, which has developed rapidly in China because of its advantages of safety, efficiency and resource conservation. However, along with the rapid development in quantity, it also presents contradictions such as the mismatch with the previous surgical quality and safety management model, the urgent need for the unification of the new system of quality and safety evaluation indicators at the national level, and the imbalance in the construction of information technology of medical institutions in China, leading to the new problem of uneven quality control of day surgery. This article constructs a “five-in-one” new system for the quality and safety management of day surgery from the perspective of high-quality development, aiming to provide a theoretical basis for the formulation of relevant policies in China and to promote the safe, efficient, and orderly development of day surgeries.
ObjectiveTo describe the current status of the evaluation index for the performance of diagnostic reagents compared with gold standards in systematic reviews and develop the list of evaluation indexes. MethodsPubMed, Embase (OVID), Cochrane Library (OVID), CBM, WanFang Data and CNKI databases were searched for systematic reviews about the performance of diagnostic reagents compared with gold standards from inception to 28th April, 2023. Two reviewers independently screened literature and extracted data. The frequency and ratio were used to describe the current status, while the qualitative synthesis was used to develop the list. ResultsA total of 133 systematic reviews were included. Sensitivity (133/133, 100.0%), specificity (131/133, 98.5%) and AUC (80/133, 60.2%) were used more frequently than 50%. Q index (6/133, 4.5%), false positive rate (3/133, 2.3%), Kappa value (2/133, 1.5%), false negative rate (1/133, 5%) and Youden's index were used less frequently than 5%. In order to evaluate the performance of diagnostic reagents compared with gold standards in systematic reviews comprehensively, a total of 14 index related to validity and predictability could be considered. ConclusionThe evaluation index for the performance of diagnostic reagents in systematic reviews are inconsistent and limited, so there is an urgent need to develop standardized evaluation indicators based on expert consensus.
