Mineral and bone disorder of maintenance hemodialysis patients in Chuzhou by XU Qi, YE Li-ping, CHENG Wei, GAO Lu, SUN Ai-hua, GAO Ye-hu, LIN Li, CHEN Tian-hao, YAO Yin-ping, YAO Yong

“…Objective To understand the mineral and bone disorder(MBD) status of the maintenance hemodialysis(MHD) patients in Chuzhou.Methods The MHD patients were investigated in hemodialysis centers of 7 hospitals in Chuzhou from April 2014 to June 2014.Study data included general demographic characteristics,laboratory examination,clinical manifestation and medications,etc.Taking KDOQI and KDIGO guidelines as standard respectively,success rate of adjusted serum calcium,phosphorus,and intact parathyroid hormone(iPTH) was observed,and then compared with the dialysis outcomes and practice patterns study(DOPPS4).At last,success rate of adjusted serum calcium,phosphorus,and iPTH in patients with MHD was compared in hospitals of various grades.Results(1) Among the selected 1021 cases,598 cases were male and 423 cases female.Mean age in patients was(56.8 ± 17.3) years old and the average dialysis time was(46.6 ± 37.3) months.The top three original diseases were chronic glomerulonephritis(50.1%),diabetic nephropathy(20.2%) and hypertensive nephrosclerosis(14.1%).(2) Based on KDOQI guidelines,the control rate of adjusted serum calcium,serum phosphorus,and iPTH in MHD patients was 40.5%,37.4%and 21.3%,which was lower than that based on DOPPS4(56.7%,52.6%and 29.6%)(all P<0.01).(3) On the basis of KDIGO guidelines,the control rate of adjusted serum calcium,serum phosphorus,and iPTH in MHD patients was 51.5%,19.8%and 46.2%respectively.(4) By comparing hospitals of various grades on the basis of KDOQI guidelines,we found that the control rate of serum phosphorus and iPTH in patients admitted to tertiary hospitals was higher than to secondary hospitals(P<0.05),while the control rate of adjusted serum calcium had no obvious difference.(5) The treatment situation of MBD:On the basis of KDIGO guidelines,the inappropriate treatment of low serum calcium,hyperphosphatemia and secondary hyperparathyroidism accounted for 47.5%,47.6%and 32.5%respectively.Conclusions The control rate of serum calcium,phosphorus and iPTH in MHD patients of Chuzhou is very low.MHD patients in tertiary hospitals have more ideal control situation than secondary hospitals,indicating that close monitoring and management are expected to improve the success rate.…”

Epidemiological trends and age-period-cohort effects on subarachnoid hemorrhage burden across the BRICS-plus from 1992 to 2021 by Liang Guo, Liang Guo, Liang Guo, Liang Guo, Liang Guo, Dan Song, Dan Song, Dan Song, Dan Song, Dan Song, Li Chen, Li Chen, Li Chen, Li Chen, Li Chen, Ying Huang, Ying Huang, Ying Huang, Ying Huang, Ying Huang

“…A significant negative correlation was observed between the incidence rate of SAH and SDI values. Nations displayed similar age-effect patterns characterized by initial declines followed by subsequent increases with advancing age, along with distinct period and cohort effects that may reflect variations in control measures and temporal burden patterns.ConclusionOur study demonstrates the overall decline in age standardized incidence rate of SAH, while highlighting the persistent health inequalities among eleven countries potentially attributable to socioeconomic disparities. …”

Rifampicin-resistant tuberculosis in Fujian Province, Southeast China: a retrospective analysis of drug resistance screening and treatment outcomes, 2019–2024 by Yinfa Zhou, Zhisong Dai, Zhisong Dai, Shufang Lin, Shufang Lin, Daiquan Chen, Jian Lin, Kun Chen, Yongming Lin, Yanqin Deng, Yanqin Deng

“…Risk factors for unsuccessful outcomes were assessed using univariate and multivariate logistic regression.ResultsA total of 1,368 RR-TB patients were detected, with an overall resistance rate of 3.7%. The RR rate showed a steady decline year by year (χ2 = 76.214, p &lt; 0.001), mainly due to the decrease in new TB cases (χ2 = 60.966, p &lt; 0.001). …”
