Objective To analyze the incidence and mortality of asthma in China from 1990 to 2019, and to explore the influence of age, period and cohort on the incidence and mortality of asthma. Methods Using the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) 2019 database, the incidence and mortality of asthma in China from 1990 to 2019 were analyzed, and the time variation trend of age-standardized incidence and mortality was analyzed by using Joinpoint software, and the average annual variation percentage was calculated. The age-period-cohort model was constructed to analyze the influence of age, period and birth cohort on the incidence and mortality trend of asthma. Results In 2019, the incidence of asthma in China was 264.44/100 000, and the mortality rate was 1.74/100 000. The incidence rate of asthma in males (300.94/100 000) and mortality rate (1.99/100 000) were higher than those in females (226.51/100 000 and 1.49/100 000). From 1990 to 2019, the age-standardized incidence of asthma in China showed a downward trend, but the trend was not statistically significant (P>0. 05), and the age-standardized mortality showed a downward trend, with an average annual decrease of 4.90%, with a statistically significant trend (P<0.05). The results of age effect showed that the incidence of asthma in China showed a downward trend, and the death first showed a downward trend, and then increased in the age group of 55-59. The results of period effect show that the risk of asthma is decreasing, and then it is increasing from 2015 to 2019, and the risk of asthma mortality is decreasing. The results of cohort effect show that the later people are born, the lower the risk of asthma onset and death. The death of asthma is attributed to behavioral risk, high body mass index and tobacco, and the occupational risk tends to decrease. ConclusionsFrom 1990 to 2019, the incidence and mortality of asthma in China showed a decreasing trend, and the incidence and mortality of men were higher than that of women. The risk factors of behavioral risk, high body mass index and tobacco were still on the rise, so corresponding measures should be taken to carry out early screening, early detection, and early treatment for key populations.
Objective To systematically review the relationship between obesity and the incidence of digestive system cancers. Methods The PubMed, EMbase, The Cochrane Library, CNKI and WanFang Data databases were electronically searched to collect cohort studies on the relationship between obesity and digestive system cancers from January 1st, 2001 to October 31st, 2021. Two reviewers independently screened the literature, extracted data, and assessed the risk of bias of the included studies. Meta-analysis was then performed by using RevMan 5.4 software. Results A total of 16 cohort studies were included. The results of meta-analysis revealed that compared with normal weight, obesity increased the incidence rate of various cancers of the digestive system, including colorectal cancer (RR=1.25, 95% CI 1.13 to 1.39, P<0.000 1), liver cancer (RR=1.65, 95%CI 1.41 to 1.92, P<0.000 01), pancreatic cancer (RR=1.34, 95%CI 1.19 to 1.51, P<0.000 01), gastric cancer (RR=1.09, 95%CI 1.05 to 1.14, P<0.000 1), and esophageal cancer (RR=2.39, 95%CI 1.98 to 2.89, P<0.000 01). Conclusion The current evidence indicates that obesity can increase the incidence rate of digestive system cancers. Due to the limited quality and quantity of the included studies, more high-quality studies are needed to verify the above conclusion.
ObjectiveTo analyze the trends of incidence, mortality, and burden of disease of cervical cancer in Chinese females from 1990 to 2019.MethodsThe global burden of disease database (GBD) and China health statistics yearbook data was used to analyze the incidence, standardized incidence, mortality, standardized mortality, urban and rural mortality, and burden of cervical cancer among Chinese females using Excel, SPSS 21.0 and Joinpoint Regression Program 4.8.0.1.ResultsThe standardized incidence of cervical cancer among Chinese females increased from 9.21/100 000 in 1990 to 12.06/100 000 in 2019, and the standardized mortality decreased from 8.40/100 000 to 7.36/100 000. The standardized mortality of cervical cancer in 2018 decreased when compared with 2015 in both urban and rural areas. Changes in age-group incidence and mortality indicated that there was a younger trend in cervical cancer. The disease burden indicators (DALY, YLL, and YLD) were increased from 86.49, 84.01, and 1.52 ten thousand person/years to 162.22, 157.40, and 4.83 ten thousand person/years, in which the YLD increased the most (217.76%). The APC of DALY, YLL and YLD were 2.39%, 2.56% and 4.25%, respectively. The proportion of cervical cancer disease burden in female cancer increased in 2019 compared with 1990. And DALY, YLL and YLD increased in the age group of 40 or over, in which DALY of the age group 50-54 increased 167.15%.ConclusionsThe situation of cervical cancer is not optimistic in China. Although the mortality of cervical cancer has decreased in recent years, the number of cases and mortalities is still increasing. Not only the burden of disease is continuously increasing, there is also a younger trend in cervical cancer. Active preventive measures should be taken to reduce the burden of cervical cancer.
ObjectiveTo investigate the clinicopathologic and epidemiological characteristics of patients with gastric cancer at our hospital in the past six years． Methods A total of 958 patients with gastric cancer were selected from January 2004 to December 2009 and clinicopathologic characteristics such as basic data, pathological type, tumor location, and TNM stage were retrospectively analyzed. ResultsOf the 958 patients，697 cases (72.8%) were male and 261 cases (27.2%) were female, and the age ranged from 26 to 91 years old (mean 62.6 years old). The occurrence rate of gastric cancer was higher in the patients of 46-65 years old (49.4%, 473/958) than that in the patients of ≥66 years old (42.3%, 405/958) and ≤45 years old (8.3%, 80/958). Regarding pathologic type, the majority of advanced gastric cancers (70.1%) were Borrmann Ⅱ, the adenocarcinoma and signetring cell carcinoma accounted for 82.3% and 7.8%, respectively. The cancer of gastric cardia accounted for 53.0%. Stagestratified analysis revealed that the majority of gastric cancers (47.4%) were stage Ⅲ. Conclusion①A prevalence of gastric cancer is found in middle, elderly male patients. Poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma in cardia is prominent. ②Patients with high malignant ganstrie cancer are younger. ③The majority of patients who underwent the surgical treatments have advanced or metastatic tumor, therefore it is necessary to improve the early diagnosis of gastric cancer.
ObjectiveTo systematically review the incidence and influencing factors of early enteral nutritional feeding interruptions in critically ill patients. MethodsThe PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, Cochrane Library, CNKI, WanFang Data and CBM databases were electronically searched to collect observational studies on the early enteral nutritional feeding interruptions in critically ill patients from inception to January 2, 2024. Two reviewers independently screened literature, extracted data and assessed the risk of bias of the included studies. Meta-analysis was then performed by using Stata 17.0 software. ResultsA total of 12 studies including 1 121 patients were included. Meta-analysis showed that the incidence of early enteral nutritional feeding interruptions in critically ill patients was 75.0% (95%CI 64.0% to 84.0%). Influenced by feeding intolerance, airway management, tube problems, radiological examination, and endoscopy, surgery and so on, interruptions of early enteral nutritional feeding frequently occur in critically ill patients. ConclusionCurrent evidence shows that early enteral feeding interruptions in critically ill patients are affected by many factors, and the incidence is high. Due to the limited quality and quantity of the included studies, more high-quality studies are needed to verify the above conclusion.
ObjectiveTo explore the influence of nursing interruption event intervention on the incidence of nursing risk events. MethodsIn January 2012, we carried out intervention on nursing interruption events. And general situation questionnaire was used on December 30th, 2011 (control group) and December 30th, 2012 (intervention group) respectively to investigate 190 clinical nurses. ResultsThe occurrence of the interruption events was positively correlated with the incidence of nursing risk events. Effective intervention significantly reduced the incidence of risk events (P<0.05). ConclusionEffective prevention of adverse outcomes caused by interruption events reduces the risk of nursing, improves the quality of care, and ensures the safety of the patient.
ObjectiveTo analyze the prevalence of muscle and tendon injuries in Chinese from 2005 to 2019. MethodsUsing Joinpoint regression model and age-time-cohort model, the average annual percent change (AAPC) was used to analyze the incidence of muscle and tendon injury in Chinese from 2005 to 2019. The influence of age, period and birth cohort on the incidence of muscle and tendon injury was analyzed by sex. ResultsFrom 2005 to 2019, the incidence of muscle and tendon injury in Chinese residents increased (AAPC=2.0%, P<0.05), and the AAPC of females was higher than that of males (AAPC values were 2.1% and 1.9%, respectively, P<0.05). The results of age-time-cohort model showed that the age effect, period effect and cohort effect coefficient were statistically significant. The age effect and cohort effect coefficient fluctuated, and the period effect coefficient increased continuously. The period effect is dominant in three effects. ConclusionThe incidence of muscle and tendon injuries in Chinese residents has increased rapidly. Children aged 5 to 9, people aged 20 to 29 and elderly women aged 85 to 94 are the key groups.
Objectives To systematically review the relationship between indoor decoration and childhood leukemia in China. Methods CNKI, WanFang Data, VIP, CBM, PubMed, EMbase and The Cochrane Library databases were electronically searched to obtain case-control studies of the relationships between indoor decoration and childhood leukemia from inception to December 2016. Two reviewers independently screened literature, extracted data and assessed the risk of bias of included studies. Then, meta-analysis was performed by using RevMan 5.3 software. Results A total of 13 studies involving 1 727 cases and 2 468 controls were included. The results of meta-analysis showed that indoor decoration could increase the risk of childhood leukemia in China (OR=2.69, 95%CI 1.82 to 3.98, P<0.000 01). Conclusions The current evidence suggests that indoor decoration is a risk factor for childhood leukemia in Chinese. Due to limited quality and quantity of the included studies, more high-quality studies are required to verify above conclusions.
ObjectiveTo systematically review the risk of hemorrhage in pregnant cerebral arteriovenous malformation (CAVM) patients. MethodsThe Web of Science, PubMed, Cochrane Library, WanFang Data, VIP and CNKI databases were electronically searched to collect clinical studies related to hemorrhage in pregnant CAVM patients from inception to June, 2023. Two reviewers independently screened literature, extracted data and assessed the risk of bias of the included studies. Meta-analysis was then performed by using Stata 13.1 and R 4.0.4 software. ResultsA total of 13 studies involving 2 273 patients were included. The results of meta-analysis showed that the pooled incidence of hemorrhage in pregnant CAVM patients was 0.18 (95%CI 0.12 to 0.24). The subgroup analyses were carried out based on world regions and the study duration, with the higher pooled incidence of 0.37 (95%CI 0.05 to 0.80) in Europe and 10 to 20 years of study duration of 0.37 (95%CI 0.17 to 0.57). Conclusion Current evidence shows that the incidence of hemorrhage in pregnant CAVM patients is about 18%. Due to the limited quality and quantity of the included studies, more high quality studies are needed to verify the above conclusion.
ObjectiveTo comprehend the incidence of and to search for the possible risk factors for neonatal congenital heart disease (CHD) in Mianyang after "5·12" Earthquake. MethodsCHD screening was performed on 5536 neonates born between December 2011 and December 2012 by cardiac auscultation, respiration evaluation, blood oxygen saturation determination and color doppler flow imaging. Case control study was applied to study the diagnosed cases of CHD. ResultsSixty-five cases of CHD were found during the screening, and the incidence was 11.74‰. The most common CHD was ventricular septal defect, followed by atrial septum defect and patent ductusarteriosus. Possible risk factors were listed in order of their risks were as follows:family history of CHD, infection history in the early period of pregnancy, drug and alcohol history during pregnancy, and aged pregnancy and smoking history of the parents. However, earthquake experience history of parents was not correlated with CHD incidence. ConclusionEarthquake experience of parents is not correlated with CHD incidence. Enforcing health education for women before gestation, and avoiding or decreasing risk factors exposure can reduce the risk of CHD. CHD screening for neonates can detect CHD as early as possible, which is helpful for intervention during the follow-up, reduction of fatality, and improvement of neonates' quality of life.
