Objective To study medication usage in women and children from the distress area related to the Wenchuanearthquake. Methods Information about which medications that 329 patients used in West China Second University Hospital,Sichuan University was collected by the HIS system and classified by using the ICD-10system.The cases and times of medication, the total number of drugs, the drug cost per capita, and the drug cost per day were calculated using Excel. The defined daily dose (DDD) and drug utilization index (DUI) were analyzed. According to the principle of DDD amp; DUI, CDDD amp; CDUI were designed to analyze the drugs used by children. Results A total of 398 drugs in 25 categories were applied to 329 patients. Every case used infusion solutions, the DDDs of vitamins were the highest, the usage and duration of vitamins and antibacterial agents were the longest among the 25 kinds of the drugs. The cost of Amoxicillin Sulbactam injection was the highest. Many kinds of medications were prescribed to these patients,the rate of DUIgt;1 vs DUIlt;1 are 32.3% amp;47.2%. The results of CDUI indicated overuse of drugs was serious in children less 1yr old.The CDUI of precortisyl was the highest:40 to 80. Conclusions The system for distribution of medication to patients to children and women during an emergency is flawed. According to our findings we make new suggestions for changes, which have to be proved by further research.
Objective To explore maternal health services utilization in rural areas in Rongchang County, and to analyze the influencing factors. Methods Seven hundred pregnant women were enrolled by stratified cluster sampling. The data was analyzed in SAS 8.2. Results Ninety-five percent of pregnant women had an antenatal examination, 69.3% had it for 5 times or more, and 75.4% received checking in the earlier stage of pregnancy; 98.3% were delivered in hospital, 26.3% had postpartum visit 3 times or more, and 16.7% had been systematically managed. The main influencing factors of systematic management rate were family yearly income before pregnancy whether or not the patient participated in the new rural cooperative medical scheme, and the number of pregnancies. Conclusion The maternal systematic management rate in the county has yet to be improved. Health education to improve prenatal care and postnatal visit status should be strengthened, and women should be guided to participate in the new rural cooperative medical scheme.

ObjectiveTo investigate the prevalence and risk factors for hypertensive women in Chengdu communities, as well as the urban-rural differences. MethodsCluster random sampling method was used. Cross-sectional data on questionnaire for physical examination and laboratory tests were collected from study of 1 202 women in urban and rural Chengdu between February and October 2010. ResultsThis study enrolled the total of 1 202 women aged from 35 to 70 in Chengdu communities, where 616 were from urban areas and 586 from rural areas. Of them, 402 had hypertension with an overall prevalence rate of 33.44% and with the standardized prevalence of 35.27%. The prevalence of hypertension in urban women (42.86%) was higher than that of rural women (23.55%); the difference was statistical (χ2=13.057, P<0.001). The prevalence of hypertension increased with the age increase. The highest cardiovascular risk factors coexisted with hypertensive women was high waist circumference (abdominal obesity), followed by triglyceride (33.33%), total cholesterol (TC) (33.08%), impaired glucose tolerance (38.86%), impaired fasting glucose (IFG) (24.38%), body mass index (16.67%), and high density lipoprotein cholesterol (0.75%). The urban hypertensive women had higher the ratio and average of high waist circumference, IFG and TC than thoes from rural areas with a statistically difference (P<0.05). ConclusionHypertension prevalence in women from rural areas is higher than that in women from urban areas. The urban hypertensive women has higher ratio of risk factors than thoes from rural areas.
ObjectiveTo evaluate the feasibility and efficacy of laparoscopic paravaginal repair (LPVR) for anterior vaginal prolapse in women of child-bearing age. MethodsTotally, 21 patients with anterior vaginal prolapse underwent laparoscopic extraperitoneal vaginal vault suspension between January 2012 and May 2013. Among the 21 patients, 5 were in grade Ⅲ, 15 in grade Ⅱ, and 1 in grade Ⅰ. Under laparoscope, the bilateral white lines and ischial spines were exposed, and then the angle of vaginal fornix was sutured to the ipsilateral ischial spine and the vaginal wall was sutured to the ipsilateral white line. Laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy or Burch or posterior vaginal wall repair was performed as well if necessary. The patients without any subjective symptom were defined as subjective cure and those whose pelvic organ prolapse quantification of anterior vaginal was zero degree were defined as objective cure. ResultsLaparoscopic sacrocolpopexy was performed in 5 patients, Burch in 3, and posterior vaginal wall repair alone in 6. The operation time ranged from 110 to 225 minutes with an average of 155 minutes, and the intraoperative blood loss ranged from 30 to 100 mL with an average of 60 mL. No intraoperative complication occurred. The marking point of pelvic organ prolapse quantitation Aa before and after operation was (1.0±0.4) cm and (-3.0±0.8) cm, and Ba was (1.5±0.4) cm and (-3.0±0.5) cm, and there were significant differences (P<0.01). The patients were discharged from hospital within 5 to 10 days averaging 7 days. The cost of hospitalization was 7 000 to 11 000 yuan, with an average of 8 500 yuan. One patient who felt obstruction of urethra and diffcult urination was improved by keeping indwelling urinary catheter for 7 days. Follow-up was achieved in 21 patients for 10 to 18 months with a mean of 15 months, and 19 of them had subjective cure and 20 of them objective cure. ConclusionLPVR can be successfully completed in anterior vaginal prolapse patients with paravaginal defect with less injury and shorter recovery time.
Objective To investigate and analyze the cognition of intraspinal labor analgesia (ILA) of women in labor and its influencing factors. Methods A total of 322 women in labor in West China Second University Hospital of Sichuan University between May and September 2015 were investigated by questionnaire, which included the general situation, the pregnancy status, the understanding for labor pain, and the cognition of ILA. Investigator introduced the knowledge of ILA to them after the investigation, and then they were re-investigated for the choice of ILA. Results Only 22.67% of these women in labor knowed ILA clearly, 53.42% heared it but did not understand, and 49.38% liked to use it. The proportion of women in labor who liked to use it increased to 81.89% after introduction, and the difference was significant (P<0.001). Among all factors, the acknowledgement level of ILA and the choice to use it were mainly related to the family awareness concept for labor pain. Conclusions The cognition of ILA of women in labor is not enough, and their using desire is not strong. The family awareness concept is one of the important factors. The education and advertise to the women in labor and their family members after admiting to labor room can increase the choice rate of ILA significantly.
ObjectivesTo evaluate the intention of having a second child among females of childbearing age after the implementation of China’s universal two-child policy so as to provide evidence for further studies.MethodsCNKI, VIP, WanFang Data, CSSCI, PubMed, EMbase and ScienceDirect databases were electronically searched to collect cross-sectional studies on the intention of females of childbearing age to have a second child from January 1st, 2016 to August 31st, 2019. Two reviewers independently screened literature, extracted data and assessed risk of bias of included studies. Then, meta-analysis was performed by using R software.ResultsA total of 15 studies involving 18 820 cases were included. The results of meta-analysis showed that the fertility rate for the second child of females of childbearing age was 0.42 (95%CI 0.37 to 0.47), and the result was stable. Subgroup analysis showed that the fertility rate of second child in eastern region was higher than that in western region (0.44 vs. 0.40), in rural areas was higher than that in non-rural areas (0.46 vs. 0.35), females aged 18 to 34 was higher than those aged above 35 (0.49 vs. 0.29), and non-working females was higher than that among working females (0.48 vs. 0.40). The fertility rate of the sex of the first child being female was higher than the sex of the first child was male (0.48 vs. 0.39). The fertility rate of the couple who were both the non-only child was higher than the couple who were both the only child and who was only child while the other was non-only child (0.46 vs. 0.41 vs. 0.40).ConclusionsSince the implementation of the “universal two-child policy” in China, the fertility rate of females of childbearing age with the intention of having a second child is lower, especially those females who are from the western regions and non-rural areas, aged above 35 and the sex of the first child is male and non-dual-non-couples. Due to the quantity and quality of the included studies, more high quality studies are required to verify the above conclusions in future.
Objective To analyze the complaint characteristics of emergency department of women and children’s specialized hospital, and to provide a basis for improving medical service quality, enhancing hospital management, increasing satisfaction, and reducing complaint rates in specialized hospitals. Methods Using the Healthcare Complaint Analysis Tool classification framework, a retrospective analysis was conducted on complaints from the Emergency Department of West China Second University Hospital of Sichuan University. Results The total number of complaints from 2020 to 2022 was 525, and the number of complaints had been increasing year by year. There were 196 complaints against personnel and 329 complaints against regions. There were 320 complaints related to management issues (61.0%), 143 complaints related to doctor-patient relationship issues (27.2%), and 62 complaints related to clinical issues (11.8%). The complained areas were mainly fever clinics (193 cases), and the complained personnel were mainly nurses (82 cases). Conclusion The emergency department of women and children’s specialized hospitals is different from comprehensive hospitals, and active optimization should be carried out to address the main issues. While continuously improving the level of medical technology, it is also necessary to strengthen information technology construction, optimize medical procedures, improve environmental facilities, and provide psychological support for patients and their caregivers.
