Few prospective studies have investigated the joint effect of lifestyle factors and genetic susceptibility on the risk of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). This study aims to evaluate the associations of lifestyle and genetic factors with incident IBS in the UK Biobank. We analyzed data from 481,057 participants (54% female) without prevalent IBS at enrollment in the UK Biobank. An overall healthy lifestyle was defined using six modifiable lifestyle factors, including smoking, body mass index (BMI), sleep duration, diet, physical activity, and alcohol consumption, and hence categorized into ‘favorable’, ‘intermediate’, and ‘unfavorable’ lifestyles. A Cox proportional hazard model was used to investigate the association between a healthy lifestyle and incident IBS. Furthermore, we constructed a polygenic risk score (PRS) for IBS and assessed whether lifestyle modified the effect of genetics on the development of IBS. During a median follow-up of 12.1 years, 8,645 incident IBS were ascertained. Specifically, among the six modifiable lifestyle factors, adequate sleep demonstrates the greatest protective effect (hazard ratio [HR]: 0.72, 95% CI: 0.69,0.75) against IBS.Compared with a favorable lifestyle, an unfavorable lifestyle was associated with a 56% (95% CI: 46%-67%) increased risk of IBS (P = 8.99×10-40). The risk of incident IBS was 12% (95% CI: 4%-21%) higher among those at high genetic risk compared with those at low genetic risk (P = 0.005). When considering the joint effect of lifestyle and genetic susceptibility, the HR nearly doubled among individuals with high genetic risk and unfavorable lifestyle (HR: 1.80; 95% CI:1.51-2.15; P = 3.50×10-11) compared to those with low genetic risk and favorable lifestyle. No multiplicative or addictive interaction was observed between lifestyle and genetics. The findings from this study indicated that lifestyle and genetic factors were independently associated with the risk of incident IBS. All these results implicated a possible clinical strategy of lowering the incidence of IBS by advocating a healthy lifestyle.
ObjectiveAlthough previous studies have explored the association of drinking with gout risk, we sought to explore the dose-response relationship and the evidence between subtypes of alcoholic beverages and gout risk.MethodsThe weekly alcoholic beverage consumption of patients in the UK Biobank was collected and calculated. The Cox regression model was applied to assess the effects of drinking alcohol in general and its subtypes on gout risk by calculating the hazard ratio (HR) and 95% CIs. Additionally, the restricted cubic splines were used to estimate the dose-response relationship between alcohol consumption and gout risk. To evaluate the robustness, we performed subgroup analysis across various demographic characteristics.ResultsDuring a mean follow-up period of 11.7 years, a total of 5728 new incident gout cases were diagnosed among 331,865 participants. We found that light alcohol consumption was linked to a slight decrease in gout incidence among female individuals (HR 0.78, 95% CI 0.65-0.94,P= 0.01), whereas there was no significant association in male individuals. Moreover, the dose-response relationship showed that drinking light red wine and fortified wine could reduce the gout risk, whereas beer or cider, champagne or white wine, and spirits increased the gout risk at any dose.ConclusionOur study suggested a J-shaped dose-response relationship between drinking and gout risk in female individuals, but not in male individuals. For specific alcoholic beverages, light consumption of red wine and fortified wine was associated with reduced gout risk. These findings offer new insights into the roles of alcoholic beverages in gout incidence risk, although further validation is warranted.
Introduction Patient satisfaction is a crucial metric to gauge the quality of medical services, but the psychological factors influencing patient satisfaction remain insufficiently explored.Methods This study examines these psychological factors by applying the theory of bounded rationality to 1,442 inpatients in Hangzhou, China, whose data were collected using a questionnaire. One-way ANOVA, correlation analysis, and hierarchical regression were used to analyze patient satisfaction and its associated factors. Additionally, the path analysis of the structural equation model revealed the mechanisms behind the key psychological factors that influenced patient satisfaction.Results Medical risk perception, the social cognition of the medical environment, and social desirability bias had significant positive impacts on patient satisfaction. By contrast, negative emotions had a significant negative impact on patient satisfaction. Notably, patients' negative emotions had both a suppressive effect and a positive moderating effect on the relationship between medical risk perception and patient satisfaction. Similarly, social desirability bias had a suppressive effect on the correlation between the social cognition of the medical environment and patient satisfaction, albeit with a negative moderating effect.Discussion These results suggest that when evaluating and improving patient satisfaction, accounting only for the factors that directly influence medical service quality is insufficient, as the indirect and moderating effects of patients' negative emotions and the social cognition of the medical environment must also be considered. Medical service providers should thus address patients' negative emotions, establish good doctor-patient relationships, optimize service environments, provide managers with medical risk education and training on negative emotions, and prioritize patient-centered care. Additionally, the government and relevant health departments should optimize medical policies, enhance fairness and accessibility, and create a positive social cognitive environment through public education and awareness campaigns.
BackgroundFew studies explored the association between high-sensitive cardiac troponin T (hs-cTnT) and long-term mortality for patients after surgery. This study was conducted to assess the association of hs-cTnT with long-term mortality and to investigate the extent to which this association is mediated via myocardial injury after noncardiac surgery (MINS). MethodsThis retrospective cohort study included all patients with hs-cTnT measurements who underwent non-cardiac surgery at Sichuan University West China Hospital. Data were collected from February 2018 and November 2020, with follow-up through February 2022. The primary outcome was all-cause mortality within 1 year. As secondary outcomes, MINS, length of hospital stay (LOS), and ICU admission were analyzed. ResultsThe cohort included 7,156 patients (4,299 [60.1%] men; 61.0 [49.0-71.0] years). Among 7,156 patients, there were 2,151 (30.05%) with elevated hs-cTnT(>14 ng/L). After more than 1 year of follow-up, more than 91.8% of mortality information was available. During one-year follow-up after surgery, there were 308 deaths (14.8%) with a preoperative hs-cTnT >14 ng/L, compared with 192 deaths (3.9%) with a preoperative hs-cTnT <=14 ng/L(adjusted hazard ratio [aHR] 1.93, 95% CI 1.58-2.36; p < 0.001). Elevated preoperative hs-cTnT was also associated with several other adverse outcomes (MINS: adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 3.01; 95% CI, 2.46-3.69; p < 0.001; LOS: aOR 1.48, 95%CI 1.34-1.641; p < 0.001; ICU admission: aOR 1.52, 95%CI 1.31-1.76; p < 0.001). MINS explained approximately 33.6% of the variance in mortality due to preoperative hs-cTnT levels. ConclusionPreoperative elevated hs-cTnT concentrations have a significant association with long-term mortality after noncardiac surgery, one-third of which may by accounted for by MINS.
Since the 1990s, the acceleration of population aging has led to an increased prevalence of chronic diseases and enhanced public health awareness. Numerous countries have proposed healthcare reforms, with a focus on creating an “integrated care” model that aims to improve the quality of medical services and reduce costs (1–2). In 2008, the World Health Organization (WHO) put forward the concept of Integrated Delivery Systems (IDS), advocating for continuous, timely and integrated medical services. In 2016, the WHO introduced the people-centered and integrated healthcare (PCIC) global health strategy model, which is highly compatible with the core concept of “shifting from disease treatment to overall health promotion” in the “Healthy China” strategy. Medical prevention fusion (MPF) represents the practical application of PCIC in China and serves as a significant goal for the country’s ongoing healthcare system reform. Furthermore, MPF is a crucial initiative for implementing the Healthy China Strategy. Following China’s reform and opening up, the economic system shift led to an increased focus on the market within public health. The public healthcare system experienced challenges while the orientation of public health work transitioned from “prevention” to “treatment”. This separation between prevention and medical treatment has made it difficult for China’s public healthcare system to address the increasingly complex public health issues and meet the rising health care demands of the general population (3). Consequently, the Chinese government has successively proposed strategies including medical prevention combination (MPCom), medical prevention integration (MPI), medical prevention collaboration (MPCol), and MPF. Analyzing the hotspots and trends in MPF may help clarify its conceptual connotations and related theoretical research. The data for this study were collected from three major Chinese databases: China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Wanfang, and VIP. A comprehensive search was conducted using the keywords “MPCom,” “MPI,” “MPCol,” and “MPF” in order to identify relevant studies published between January 1, 2000, and December 31, 2022. Data from the three databases were imported into NoteExpress (version V3.7; Beijing, China), a literature management software, to ensure the completeness of relevant literature and remove duplicates. The final dataset was then exported from NoteExpress in Refworks-CiteSpace format to CiteSpace for formal data analysis. The detailed screening process is depicted in Figure 1. CiteSpace (version 6.1.R6; Drexel University, Philadelphia, PA, USA) is a tool utilized for examining current research hotspots and this analysis allows for a comprehensive understanding of the research directions within focal areas (4–5). In our study, we employed CiteSpace to analyze the co-occurrence and clustering of authors, institutions, and keywords, which we subsequently represented in the form of knowledge graphs. Within the network diagram, distinct nodes symbolize the analyzed elements. The size of these nodes reflects the number or frequency of publications (6). The connecting lines between nodes signify mutual relationships, including collaboration, co-occurrence, or co-citation (7). The number of studies published annually serves as an indicator of the activity within a specific research area (8). Supplementary Figure S1 (available in https://weekly.chinacdc.cn/) illustrates the temporal distribution of annual publications in the field of MPF. During these two decades, research on MPF can be divided into two distinct phases. Prior to 2016, fewer than twelve articles were published annually, suggesting that the field was in its nascent stage. However, following the WHO’s call for PCIC in 2016, China has progressively acknowledged the significance of MPF. Consequently, this phase has exhibited a consistent upward trend in the number of publications. The visual analysis map of the author collaboration network can be found in Supplementary Figure S2 (available in https://weekly.chinacdc.cn/). The map China CDC Weekly

AbstractPurposePsychological well-beings of left-behind children (LBC) in rural areas of China remain under-studied. In this cross-sectional study, we aimed to explore the subjective well-being (SWB) in LBC and its associated factors in a rural area in eastern China.MethodsStratified random cluster sampling was used to select middle school and high school students in Qingyuan County of Zhejiang Province. Relevant information including sociodemographic characteristics was collected from each participant using an organized questionnaire. SWB was measured using the modified scale developed for Chinese adolescents. Univariable and multivariable regression analyses were performed using R version 3.3.0.ResultsA total of 1086 children were recruited and examined in the current analysis, with 365 (33.61%) being left-behind. Compared with non-left-behind children (NLBC), LBC had significantly lower scores in family satisfaction (P = 0.003) and environment satisfaction (P = 0.020). Multivariable regression analysis uncovered that frequent parent–child communication was associated with high positive affect (P = 0.003) and life satisfaction (P < 0.001), and the type of caregivers was associated with negative affect among LBC (P = 0.037).ConclusionsOur results suggest SWB was lower in LBC, and targeted interventions including strengthening parental-child communication should be developed and implemented to improve LBC’s SWB in rural areas of China.
Further healthcare system reform calls for desirable pathway design. This paper introduced the logical framework of the new healthcare system reform pathway design and typical practical experience in Hangzhou.Known for " Internet+Smart healthcare" forerunner, Hangzhou has pioneered the reform of public hospitals and the construction of smart handy service for the public.With the aim of fully protecting the health rights and interests of urban and rural residents, comprehensive policy has been taken to deepen the reform of public hospitals; with the comprehensive promotion of contracted services and the primary level sharing of resources as a carrier, we will build a hierarchical medical service system of vertical linkage.We will also innovate and practice the governing philosophy of " Medicine has its limitations but we have the courage to overcome, service is boundaryless and we must pursue excellence".Promotion of party building in the industry also ranks high.Deepening the reform of " one visit for all" in the field of medical and health services as a measure to enhance people′s sense of gain; The " public-private partnership" to encourage the development of the social governance system and legalization in healthcare proves successful at this stage. However, there are still many challenges in the information security maintenance of smart healthcare, the balance of stakeholder interests in public hospitals, the all-round advancement of hierarchical medical service, standardizing and streamlining the reform of " one visit for all".
Higher service efficiency and better medical experience are main goals of the healthcare system reform.The article explained the logical framework, main actions, initial results of the " one visit for all" reform, which aims at promoting the efficiency of medical services and management in Hangzhou.Policy suggestions are raised, namely involving more people into the governance mechanism, collaboratively optimizing the working process of medical staff, improving the information security mechanism, and perfecting the effectiveness evaluation system.These measures are designed to accelerate the construction of modern hospital management system, and to build a scientific and orderly hierarchical medical system.
Objective To further improve the comprehensive evaluation program of patient satisfaction in view of the defective item screening and weight design short of considerations for patients'psychological expectation and rational judgment, based on the theory of bounded rationality. Methods A satisfaction measurement scale was compiled and used to survey 847 inpatients in July-August 2017. The internal consistency test, correlation and factor analysis were used to evaluate the reliability and validity of the scale. The combination weight PWi was calculated based on patients' importance of the five satisfaction dimensions and the scoring of certainty degree of their responses. The combination weight EWi was calculated based on the five-dimension importance and operability scoring of expert consultation. The indicator combination weight OWi was determined using the integrated factors scoring, TOPSIS, weight rank-sun ratio, gray correlation method, and synthetic index method were used in a general assessment of patient satisfaction of a hospital in question. Results The Cronbach α coefficient of the patient satisfaction rating scale was 0.939, and the half-reliability coefficient was 0.951. The cumulative contribution rate of the five common factors variance extracted from the factor analysis was 71. 4%. The rational weights of five dimensions of service environment, service efficiency, service attitude, service technology, and service costs were 0.220, 0.214, 0.217, 0.179, and 0.171 respectively, while the comprehensive weights of the five dimensions were 0.115, 0.233, 0.196, 0.264, and 0.192 respectively. The comprehensive evaluation results of the two correlation coefficients were greater than 0.95. Conclusions The patient satisfaction measurement scale developed based on the theory of bounded rationality can expand the index connotation and items of core elements such as service technology and cost. The design of index weights fits with the concern of medical service factors and the degree of rational judgment in the patient's medical treatment process. The evaluation results are basically consistent with the actual situation and can be used as a reference tool for the scientific rational evaluation of patient satisfaction.
