Ischaemic stroke (IS) has a heavy disease burden. Although epidemiological research has suggested that heatwaves are associated with cardiovascular disease, there is a lack of empirical evidence for a correlation between heatwaves and IS. The China Meteorological Administration defines a heatwave as a wave lasting ≥ 3 days, with a maximum temperature of ≥ 35℃. We collected data on daily meteorological conditions, air pollution, and IS admissions in Hunan Province from 2018 to 2019. A generalized additive model and distributed lag nonlinear model were used to determine the associations between heatwaves and IS admissions. We analysed 329,876 admitted patients with IS in Hunan Province from 2018 to 2019. The main effect of heatwaves was that they significantly increased the risk of hospitalization for IS. The single-day lag maximum risk occurred at a daily average temperature of 30.88℃ (RR = 1.05, 95% CI: 1.04–1.06) and at a daily maximum temperature of 35.82℃ (RR = 1.05, 95% CI: 1.03–1.06). The use of the 5th and subsequent days of a heatwave as a reference showed that the 1st–2nd days (RR = 1.07, 95% CI: 1.02–1.12) and the 3rd–4th days (RR = 1.06, 95% CI: 1.03–1.10) of the heatwave increased the risk of hospitalization for IS. Compared with the third and subsequent heatwaves, the first (RR = 1.27, 95% CI: 1.19–1.35) and second (RR = 1.24, 95% CI: 1.16–1.32) heatwaves had greater impacts on the risk of hospitalization for IS. The risk of IS hospitalization was also exacerbated by high relative humidity (RR = 1.25, 95% CI: 1.16–1.35) and a low diurnal temperature range (RR = 1.08, 95% CI: 1.02–1.14) during the heatwave period. In our study, the main effects of heatwaves increased the risk of IS hospitalization. The effects varied according to the day of the heatwave, the timing of the heatwave, the DTR during the heatwave, and the humidity during the heatwave. This evidence has significant implications for the strategic planning of public health interventions to mitigate adverse health outcomes associated with heatwaves.
OBJECTIVES: This study investigated the seasonal impact of diurnal temperature range (DTR) on hospitalization rates for intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) in middle-aged and elderly adults.METHODS: We collected data on the DTR and hospitalization records of ≥45-year-old patients with ICH in 2019 in Hunan Province, central China. Time-series analyses were performed using a distributed lag non-linear model.RESULTS: Overall, 54,690 hospitalizations for ICH were recorded. DTR showed a non-linear relationship with ICH hospitalization in both middle-aged and elderly populations (45-59 and ≥60 years, respectively). During spring, a low DTR coupled with persistently low temperatures increased ICH risk in both age groups, while a high DTR was associated with an increased risk in the middle-aged group only (relative risk [RR], 1.24; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.21 to 1.27). In the summer, a low DTR combined with persistently high temperatures was linked to a higher risk exclusively in the middle-aged group. A high DTR in the autumn was correlated with increased risk in both age groups. In winter, either a low DTR with a continuously low temperature or a high DTR elevated the risk solely in the elderly population (RR, 1.37; 95% CI, 1.00 to 1.69). In the elderly group, the impact of DTR on hospitalization risk manifested within a 5-day period.CONCLUSIONS: The impact of DTR on ICH hospitalization risk differed significantly across seasons and between age groups. Elderly individuals demonstrated greater sensitivity to the impact of DTR. Weather forecasting services should emphasize DTR values, and interventions targeting sensitive populations are needed.
Objective:To study the effect of diurnal temperature range on the number of elderly inpatients with ischemic stroke in Hunan Province.Method:Demographic and disease data, meteorological data, air quality data, population, economic and health resource data of elderly inpatients with ischemic stroke were collected in 122 districts/counties of Hunan Province from January to December 2019. The relationships between the diurnal temperature range and the number of elderly inpatients with ischemic stroke were analyzed by using the distributed lag non-linear model, including the cumulative lag effect of the diurnal temperature range in different seasons, extremely high diurnal temperature range and extremely low diurnal temperature range.Results:In 2019, 152 875 person-times were admitted to the hospital for ischemic stroke in the elderly in Hunan Province. There was a non-linear relationship between the diurnal temperature range and the number of elderly patients with ischemic stroke, with different lag periods. In spring and winter, with the decrease in diurnal temperature range, the risk of admission of elderly patients with ischemic stroke increased ( Ptrend<0.001, Ptrend=0.002);in summer, with the increase in diurnal temperature range, the risk of admission of elderly patients with ischemic stroke increased ( Ptrend=0.024);in autumn, the change in the diurnal temperature range would not cause a change in admission risk ( Ptrend=0.089). Except that the lag effect of the extremely low diurnal temperature range in autumn was not obvious, the lag effect occurred in other seasons under extremely low and extremely high diurnal temperature ranges. Conclusion:The high diurnal temperature range in summer and the low diurnal temperature range in spring and winter will increase the risk of admission of elderly patients with ischemic stroke, and the risk of admission of elderly patients with ischemic stroke will lag under the extremely low and extremely high diurnal temperature ranges in the above three seasons.
Objective Little is known about spatial variability of hospitalisation rate (HR) of patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) worldwide, especially in China. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted among patients with RA admitted to hospitals in Hunan Province. Global Moran’s I and local indicators of spatial association were used to explore the geospatial pattern of the HR of patients with RA. Generalised estimating equation analysis and geographically weighted regression were used to identify the potential influencing factors of the HR of patients with RA. Results There were a total of 11 599 admissions, and the average HR was 1.57 per 10 000 population in Hunan. We detected different cluster patterns of the HR among patients with RA by local indicators of spatial association. Age, ethnicity, average temperature, average temperature range, average rainfall, regions, gross domestic product per capita, and doctors and hospitals per 10 000 people were risk factors for the HR. However, only average temperature, gross domestic product per capita and hospitals per 10 000 people showed different regression coefficients on the HR in different counties. The increase in hospitals increased the probability of HR from east to west in Hunan with a positive coefficient, while temperature decreases increased the risk of HR from south to north negatively. Similarly, the growth of gross domestic product per capita decreased the probability of HR from southwest to northeast. Conclusion A non-random spatial distribution of the HR of patients with RA was demonstrated in Hunan, and average temperature, gross domestic product per capita and hospitals per 10 000 people showed different regression coefficients on the HR in different counties. Our study indicated that spatial and geostatistics may be useful approaches for further study among patients with RA.
OBJECTIVESStroke readmission increases financial burden on the family and the consumption of medical resources, and 30-day readmission rate is an important indicator for quality evaluation on health services. The influential factors for readmission mainly include patient-related factors, hospital factors, and society-related factors, with regional differences. This study aims to explore the spatial distribution and its main relevant factors for 30-day readmission of stroke patients in Hunan Province, and to provide the useful information for the improvement of regional prevention and control of stroke readmission.METHODSStroke patients in Hunan Province who were hospitalized in 2018 and readmitted within 30 days were included in the study. The vector map of the county boundary in Hunan Province was used as the basic map since county was the spatial analysis unit. SPSS 26.0 and ArcGIS 10.8 were used for statistical analysis that contains descriptive analysis of the general situation and the distribution map of readmission rate within 30 days of stroke patients. Spatial autocorrelation analysis and spatial regression analysis were further used to find the spatial clusters of the 30-day readmission rate of stroke and the local relationship between the readmission rate and main influential factors.RESULTSIn 2018, a total of 172 800 stroke patients were hospitalized in Hunan Province, of which 6 953 patients were re-hospitalized within 30 days after discharging due to stroke. The 30-day readmission rate was 4.09% in Hunan Province. The clusters of stroke readmission rates were mainly concentrated in the northeast and western regions in Hunan Province. The geographically weighted regression revealed that proportion of patients with complications, number of hospitals per 10 000 population and number of primary medical and health care institution per 10 000 population were the main relevant factors for stroke readmission, and there were differences both in the direction and degree of the effect on readmission in different regions.CONCLUSIONSThe 30-day readmission rate for stroke patients in Hunan province and its main influential factors had spatial heterogeneity. The key prevention and control areas were mainly concentrated in the northeast and western regions. It is recommended that the prevention and treatment of stroke complications and the construction of medical institutions need to be strengthened to improve the quality of medical services, particularly in the western region. The importance to the treatment of stroke complications should be attached in the northern region, and the primary health care should be reinforced in the northeast region. All counties should take prevention and control measures according to local conditions, so as to effectively control the readmission rate of stroke within 30 days.
Objective:To analyze the current status of referral of stroke inpatients and explore the characteristics of the referral network in Changsha, for the reference to improve and promote the hierarchical medical system of stroke.Methods:Data of the inpatient medical record of stroke patients and the annual reports of medical institutions in Changsha in 2018 were collected from the health statistics network direct reporting system of Health Commission of Hunan province, for analysis of the referrals of inpatients in different medical institutions. Social network analysis was adopted to analyze the density, centrality and K-core of the referral network of stroke inpatients.Results:A total of 82 medical institutions for stroke inpatients were included with 2 859 referrals of patients. Most of the referrals were made between tertiary hospitals(1 515), especially within hospitals of a stroke alliance(1 123). The density of referral network was 0.613.Tertiary hospitals were in the center of the network, the entry points of secondary hospitals were in the center of the network and primary medical institutions were located at peripheral positions. Most of the tertiary hospitals in the 15-core(14, 72.68%), 12 of them were the units of Hunan Stroke Alliance.Conclusions:Tertiary hospitals played an important role in the region, secondary hospitals were able to receive patients referred by tertiary hospitals, but few patients were transferred to primary care institutions; The primary medical institutions failed to play due roles in the referral network. The establishment of stroke alliances could promote the cooperation of hospitals in the alliance, but the division of labor and cooperation among different levels of medical institutions in the region needed to be further optimized.

Objective The paper aims to analyze the Human resource allocation and its fairness for Hunan medical treatment and public health between 2008 and 2013 and provide basis for optimization of human resource allocation of medical treatment and public health for health administrative department.Method Based on the Gini coefficient and Theil index, the fairness of human resource allocation for Hunan medical treatment and public health can be measured from population, geography and economy distribution.Result The total amount of human resource for Hunan medical treatment and public health is continuously increasing from 2008 to 2013, but it is still unable to reach the national average level. Gini coefifcient is less than 0.3. Furthermore, Gini coefifcient distributed in accordance with population distribution is greater than the Gini coefficient distributed in accordance with economy distribution and lower than the Gini coefficient distributed in accordance with geographical distribution. Theil index distributed in accordance with geographical distribution is greater than the Theil index distributed in accordance with population and economy distribution. The Gini coefifcient and Theil index for registered nurse are greater than the one for certiifed doctor and health workers. After adjustment, the amounts of certiifed doctors have impacts on Gini coefifcient and Theil index.Conclusion The allocation level of main medical treatment and public health resource is relatively lower, but its fairness is pretty well. Distribution in accordance with population and economy is obviously better than distribution in accordance with geography. The allocation fairness for nurses is worse than certiifed doctors and medical technician. The difference between public health human resource qualities will inlfuence the fairness of public health human resource allocation. Therefore, it is suggested that the government should strengthen the efforts to distribution of medical treatment and public health resource, take count of equity simultaneously, shorten regional difference, lay emphasis on optimization of nurse human resource allocation to improve Human medical service quality.
