  • Analysis on Needs, Demands and Utilization of Health Services of Urban and Rural Residents in Chongqing

    Objective To understand the status of needs, demands and utilization of health services of urban and rural residents in Chongqing, so as to provide references for the evaluation of health services status and policy making and regulating. Methods The data from family health questionnaire of health service survey in Western China in 2008 were descriptively analyzed. Results The two-week prevalence rate was 216.9‰ and the two-week hospital visit rate was 211.5‰. The sick people who did not seek medical care accounted for 56.2% among the sick population. The chronic disease prevalence rate was 226.4‰. The annual hospitalization rate was 77.1‰. Conclusion During the past five-year from 2003 to 2008, the needs of health services in Chongqing have had no big change, but the chronic disease prevalence rate has been in uptrend, and the utilization has obviously increased. And the economic factor is still the major cause for impeding residents to seek medical care. So it’s necessary to strengthen the construction of primary health care institutions, to improve the level of health insurance system, and to decrease the disparity in urban and rural areas.

  • Effects of Body Mass Index on Prevalence of Hypertension and Blood Pressure in the Elderly

    摘要:目的:研究成都地区中老年人群体重指数(BMI)与高血压患病率及血压水平的关系。方法:按照随机抽样的方法抽取样本,对711人(平均年龄为63.28±6.25岁;男性占57.8%)进行了相关调查,调查内容中包括身高、体重、血压及脉搏等。结果:成都地区中老年人群的超重及肥胖所占比重较大(约45%),按BMI分组(lt;18.5 kg/m2,18.5~23.9 kg/m2,24~27.9 kg/m2,≥28.0 kg/m2)的高血压患病率分别是31.6%,54.8%,64.4%,82.8%,差异有统计学意义。采用logistic回归分析发现在调整年龄、性别、腰围及尿酸等后,BMI对高血压的患病率有独立影响。在整个人群及女性病人中,血压随着BMI的升高而有升高的趋势,差异有统计学意义。结论:成都地区中老年人群超重及肥胖所占比重较大。BMI可以影响高血压的患病率及影响女性病人的血压水平,是高血压的独立危险因素。Abstract: Objective: To investigate the effects of body mass index on prevalence of hypertension and blood pressure in the elderly. MethodsA survey, including height, weight, blood pressure and pulse, was carried out in a general population of Chengdu. A total of 711 subjects (average age: 63.28±6.25 years; male: 57.8%) were recruited by random sampling method. Results:The proportion of overweight and obesity was about 45%. The hypertension prevalence rate was significantly positively correlated with BMI (Plt;0.01), and that was also seen in the level of SBP and DBP for the female (Plt;0.05). In logistic regression analysis adjusting for age, gender, waist, uric acid, the standardized OR for higher BMI (≥28.0 kg/m2) as a risk factor of hypertension was 5.140. Conclusion:The proportion of overweight and obesity was great in Chengdu area. BMI can affect the prevalence rate of hypertension and the level of blood pressure.

  • Epidemiological investigation of hepatic echinococcosis in Ganzi county of Sichuan Western-Tibet District

    ObjectiveTo investigate and analysis the data of patients with hepatic echinococcosis in Ganzi County in 2018, and to understand the epidemiological characteristics of hepatic echinococcosis in Ganzi County, Sichuan Province.MethodsA total of 811 patients were enrolled. The basic information of sex, age, weight, occupation, nation, educational level, family address and so on were recorded. The location, number, classification, transverse diameter and longitudinal diameter of hepatic echinococcosis masses were recorded by abdominal color Doppler ultrasonography.ResultsIn 2018, 811 new cases of hepatic echinococcosis were reported in Ganzi County, with a prevalence rate of 4.6% (811/17 650), and 17.81% (572/3 212) in the Datongma area. Patients ranged in age from 6 to 92, the average age was (44.8±16.6) years old. The majority of patients were Tibetans (98.5%), herdsmen (71.8%) and illiterates (83.5%). The most common lesions were in right liver (84.2%) and single (91.4%).ConclusionsThere is serious transmission of hepatic echinococcosis in Ganzi County, especially in pure pastoral areas, and HAE is more prevalent than HCE. Most of the infected people are Tibetan herdsmen with illiterate educational background and more females than males. The peak incidence of hepatic echinococcosis is 30-55 years old. Close monitoring should be carried out for these people.

  • Prevalence and influencing factors of dyslipidemia among permanent residents in Longquanyi district, Chengdu

    Objective To analyze the prevalence and influencing factors of dyslipidemia among permanent residents in Longquanyi district of Chengdu for prevention and control of dyslipidemia. Methods Permanent residents in Longquanyi district were selected as research objects by convenient sampling method between November 2021 and February 2022. The dyslipidemia rate in the population was analyzed, and the influencing factors of dyslipidemia were analyzed by univariate and multivariate logistic regression. Results A total of 11 408 permanent residents were included. Among them, 3650 people had dyslipidemia, with a prevalence rate of 32.00% (3650/11408). The prevalence rates of high total cholesterol, high triglyceride, high low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol were 19.30% (2 202/11 408), 13.38% (1 526/11 408), 5.05% (576/11 408) and 0.73% (83/11 408), respectively. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that female, age≥30 years old, drinking, overweight / obesity, hypertension, diabetes and hyperuricemia were independent risk factors of dyslipidemia among permanent residents (P<0.05). Conclusions The prevalence of dyslipidemia in Longquanyi district is high, mainly with high total cholesterol and high triglyceride. Gender, age, drinking, body mass index, and the levels of blood pressure, blood glucose and blood uric acid are the factors affecting the incidence of dyslipidemia among permanent residents. Early intervention for high-risk groups with dyslipidemia should be adopted to effectively reduce the risk and burden of dyslipidemia.

  • Analysis of the prevalence rate of healthcare-associated infection in comprehensive hospitals of Yunnan Province from 2020 to 2022

    Objective To understand the current situation of healthcare-associated infection (HAI) in comprehensive hospitals with a number of beds≥900, and provide a reference for the next step in formulating HAI prevention and control measures. Methods The data on the prevalence rate of HAI in comprehensive hospitals with a number of beds≥900 of Yunnan Province between 2020 and 2022 were retrospective collected. The HAI situation and trend in each year were analyzed. Results A total of 119 comprehensive hospitals were included, with 166 745 patients surveyed and 3 237 cases of HAI. Lower respiratory tract infection and urinary tract infection were the most common sites. The department with the highest incidence of hospital infections was the intensive care unit, followed by neurosurgery and hematology. The prevalence rates of HAI showed a downward trend from 2020 to 2022 (2.08% vs. 1.99% vs. 1.79%, χ2=14.301, P<0.001). A total of 1 315 strains of hospital-acquired pathogens were detected, all of which were mainly Gram-negative bacteria, with Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae being more common. The rate of antibiotics use and the rate of pathogen testing showed an upward trend from 2020 to 2022 (χ2=79.233, 23.866, P<0.001), the infection rate of incision site and the prophylactic use rate of antimicrobial drugs in patients with class Ⅰ surgery both showed a decreasing trend (χ2=15.551, 6.311, P<0.05). Conclusions The prevalence of infection in comprehensive hospitals of Yunnan Province is decreasing. But the supervision of key departments, the implementation of pathogen prevention and control measures, and the rational use of antibiotics in inpatients are still the focus of future work.
