  • Investigation on activities of daily living of “50630” retired cadres in Mianzhu

    Objective To investigate the status of health condition and activities of daily living of “50630” retired cadres in Mianzhu, and analyze the related factors affecting their activities of daily living. Methods According to the registration information of Mianzhu administration of elderly cadres in Sichuan, the method of cluster sampling was adopted in March 2019 to select retired cadres who participated in work between October 1st, 1949 and June 30th, 1950 in urban and rural areas respectively. The survey and analysis were carried out using the self-designed general condition questionnaire, Berg balance scale, Hoffer walking ability rating scale, and modified Barthel Index, to understand the activities of daily living ability of retired cadres and analyze the relevant factors affecting their self-care ability of daily life. Results A total of 64 “50630” retired cadres were investigated, with an average age of (86.39±3.37) years. 64.06% of the patients with poor balance function needed wheelchair, 10.94% could not walk, and 56.25% were heavily dependent on activities of daily living. Age (r=−0.421, P=0.001) and underlying diseases (r=−0.060, P=0.032) were negatively correlated with activities of daily living. Balance ability (r=0.658, P<0.001), walking ability (r=0.393, P=0.001), spouse status (r=0.669, P<0.001), care status (r=0.830, P<0.001), place of residence (r=0.706, P<0.001) were positively correlated with activities of daily living. Education level (r=0.096, P=0.380) and gender (r=0.122, P=0.265) had no correlation with activities of daily living. Multiple linear regression analysis showed that the main influencing factors of daily living activities of “50630” retired cadres in Mianzhu were balance function, walking ability, spouse or not and type of care. Conclusions There are many related factors affecting the activities of daily living of “50630” retired cadres, which can be intervened according to basic diseases, balance function and walking ability. Through multi-disciplinary and multi-sectoral cooperation, integrating community health service resources, providing all-round health care services, formulating personalized rehabilitation measures, and organizing community group activities, it is possible to improve their social participation, psychological status, and ability of daily living activities, and reduce the disability, so as to further improve the quality of life of veteran cadres.

  • Construction of nosocomial pulmonary infection prediction model for acute pesticide poisoning

    Objective To explore the risk factors of nosocomial pulmonary infection in acute pesticide poisoning. Methods The clinical data of patients with acute pesticide poisoning hospitalized in the Emergency Department of the First Affiliated Hospital of Wannan Medical College and the Second Affiliated Hospital of Wannan Medical College between January 1, 2021 and September 30, 2023 were retrospectively analyzed. Patients were divided into pulmonary infection group and non-pulmonary infection group according to whether they had pulmonary infection during hospital. Multiple logistic regression was used to analyze the independent risk factors of nosocomial pulmonary infection in patients with acute pesticide poisoning, and a risk prediction model (nomogram) was constructed. The predictive efficacy of nomogram and independent predictors in nosocomial pulmonary infection were analyzed by using the receiver operating characteristic curve. Calibration curve and decision curve were used to evaluate the differentiation and clinical application value of the model. Results A total of 189 patients with acute pesticide poisoning were included in the study, with an average age of (58.12±18.45) years old, 98 males (51.85%) and 91 females (48.15%). There were 36 cases (19.05%) of pulmonary infection. Multiple logistic regression analysis showed that age [odds ratio (OR)=1.030, 95% confidence interval (CI) (1.001, 1.060), P=0.040], type 2 diabetes mellitus [OR=2.770, 95%CI (1.038, 7.393), P=0.042], ischemic cerebrovascular disease [OR=3.213, 95%CI (1.101, 9.376), P=0.033], white blood cell count [OR=1.080, 95%CI (1.013, 1.152), P=0.019], activities of daily living score [OR=0.981, 95%CI (0.965, 0.998), P=0.024] were independent predicting factors for nosocomial pulmonary infection in acute pesticide poisoning. The area under the curve of nosocomial pulmonary infection in patients with acute pesticide poisoning predicted by nomogram based on the above factors was 0.813 (P<0.001). The calibration curve showed that the prediction probability was consistent with the actual occurrence probability (P=0.912), and the decision curve showed that the nomogram had good clinical application value. Conclusions Age, activities of daily living score, type 2 diabetes mellitus, ischemic cerebrovascular disease, and white blood cell count are independent predictors of nosocomial pulmonary infection in acute pesticide poisoning. The nomogram constructed based on them has good differentiation and consistency, which can provide basis for early identification and intervention of clinical staff.
