ObjectivesTo systematically evaluate the efficacy and safety of dabigatran vs. rivaroxaban for perioperative anticoagulation in the ablation of nonvalvular atrial fibrillation. MethodsPubMed, EMbase, Web of Science, The Cochrane Library, WanFang Data, CNKI and VIP databases were electronically searched to collect cohort studies on the efficacy and safety of dabigatran vs. rivaroxaban for perioperative anticoagulation in the ablation of nonvalvular atrial fibrillation from inception to July 1st, 2018. Two reviewers independently screened literature, extracted data and assessed the risk of bias of included studies, then, meta-analysis was performed by RevMan 5.3 and Stata 12.0 software. ResultsA total of 12 cohort studies involving 4 051 patients were included. The results of meta-analysis showed that: there were no differences in the rate of thromboembolic (OR=0.92, 95%CI 0.36 to 2.35, P=0.86), ischemic stroke (OR=1.15, 95%CI 0.22 to 6.07, P=0.87), major bleeding (OR=0.84, 95%CI 0.43 to 1.66, P=0.61), minor bleeding (OR=0.90, 95%CI 0.60 to 1.34, P=0.60) and pericardial tamponade (OR=1.05, 95%CI 0.45 to 2.47, P=0.90) between dabigatran and rivaroxaban groups. ConclusionsCurrent evidence shows that the efficacy and safety of dabigatran vs. rivaroxaban for perioperative anticoagulation in the ablation of nonvalvular atrial fibrillation are similar. Due to limited quality and quantity of the included studies, more high quality studies are required to verify the above conclusion.
Objective?To study the existent dietary hygiene behavior and attitude among college students and to provide references for further education and management. Methods?A self-designed dietary hygiene-related questionnaire based on the KAP (knowledge-attitude-practice) model was conducted in Sichuan University students, with a method of proportionate sampling classified by sex, grade, and major. Results?College students’ hygienic habits were not good enough. It indicated that only 7.8% of the students were concerned about Hygiene License and 30.7% of them held that tableware should be sterilized before using. Besides, only 21% of the students washed hands before meals, 14.9% believed that a health certificate was required for foodservice employees, more than 80% students may buy food on stalls sometimes. Conclusion?A majority of students have requirements for hygienic situations while dining, but they do not know clear specific health standards. A number of students are not used to washing hands before dining. Moreover, lack of hygienic awareness is emphasized when they are facing food with potential safety problems. It is very necessary to strengthen health education and to improve hygienic behaviors in college students.
