Objective: Statistical significance plays an important role in the interpretation of clinical trial results. However, on the basis of obtaining statistical significance, the assessment of clinical significance is often neglected. This study attempted to propose a simple and unambiguous new classification method for study results, focusing on studies with statistical positive findings to evaluate whether the results have clinical significance. Methods: Our study subjects were the clinical studies in 2019 ACC and ESC annual meetings. Meta-epidemiology methods were used to extract the characteristic variable from each study. The primary evaluation indicators included target effect-size and observed effect-size. Based on the difference between the two indicators, the studies that had statistical significance were subdivided to identify studies with possible insufficient clinical significance; Furthermore, the theoretical threshold based on power analysis was proposed, which was used as the basis for the interpretation of study results. Results: There were 12 clinical studies included in the final analysis. All of them were published on top journals. Those studies had relative high quality on both study design and reporting. The correlation coefficient between the observed and target effect-size was 0.892. Among the 7 studies with statistical significance, two of them were classified as insufficient clinical significance. The counts was 1 (1/3) and 1 (1/4) for the studies reported in ACC and ESC respectively. Conclusions: The achievement of clinical significance is critical even in the study with positive results. This paper proposes a new classification standard that combines clinical significance with statistical significance and further suggests a method to evaluate the reliability of clinical study results in order to assist researchers in identifying potential risks caused by insufficient clinical significance, and provide some reference and help for the reasonable interpretation of clinical study results.
Abstract Background To survey the relationship between salt intake and blood pressure in hypertensive patients in Beijing. Methods A cross-sectional survey was used. Essential hypertensive patients were enrolled and divided into three groups (low, medium, and high salt intake) according to their 24 h urinary sodium excretion, which was used to access the salt intake. Blood pressure was measured through office measurement and ambulatory blood pressure monitoring. Results A total of 2,241 patients were enrolled with a mean age of 59.5 ± 13.8 years, mean blood pressure of 141.1 ± 18.5/84.6 ± 12.7 mm Hg, and urinary sodium excretion of 163.9 (95% CI 160.3–167.4) mmol [equal to salt intake 9.59 (9.38–9.79) g/d]. There were 1,544 cases from tertiary hospitals and the other 697 cases from community hospitals. Patients from community hospitals took more salt than patients from tertiary hospitals. Patients with high salt intake were younger than patients with low and medium salt intake. There were more males in high salt intake group than in the other two groups. Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring showed that patients with high salt intake had higher mean blood pressure not only in daytime, but also at night. The diastolic blood pressure in patients with medium salt intake was higher than that in patients with low salt intake. Conclusions Higher salt intake was associated with higher ambulatory blood pressure in hypertensive patients. More effort should be made to lower salt intake to improve blood pressure control rate.

Global leading scholars in the field of parenteral and enteral nutrition have been seeking for the criteria of diagnosis of malnutrition. In determining the diagnostic criteria for malnutrition, it is also necessary to take into account the normal values and clinically obtained cut-off points of different countries and races. The Global Leadership (nutrition field) Initiative on Malnutrition, GLIM) diagnostic criteria published online on Sep. 2 & Sep.3 2018. In January & February 2019, the [American Society for Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition, ASPEN] and the [European Society for Clinical Nutrition and Metabolism, ESPEN] published in print. The GLIM criteria has also been recorded in [National terminology of parenteral and enteral nutrition of China-2019]. In 2016 "Disease Classification and Code (Chinese expanding version of ICD-10)" having "nutritional risk" and "malnutrition" items officially listed. In 2019 " Notice on National Tertiary Public Hospitals" and in the "National Medical Insurance Administration-coding standard" also include the items of "nutritional risks " and "malnutrition" as diseases name.Although promoting individualized medical therapy in China now, but the actual situation of each clinical department is different. As far as parenteral and enteral nutrition is concerned, it was far from "precision medicine" or "targeted therapy " in clinical practice nowadays. The current aim is to identify which patients need nutrition support therapy for reasonable application - benefit to patient. China's DRG being developed by "big data survey system" . Therefore, it is necessary for "this system" can find nutritional risk and malnutrition as diseases name with the codes from Chinese expanding version of ICD-10. So, nutritional risk and malnutrition need to be filled in the cover page of discharged medical record.

Till 2020, parenteral and enteral nutrition in China has moved from Translation 1 (T1), and then Translation 2 (T2), to Translation 3 (T3) now. The T3 transfer requires the evaluation of medical services' quality and cost-effectiveness research. After learning from international published articles, the multicenter cooperative database group of Chinese Society for Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition (CSPEN) on Nutritional risk, Undernutrition, Support, Outcome, and Cost-effectiveness ratio (NUSOC) (abbreviated to CSPEN-NUSOC Cooperative Group) has made efforts to promote health economics research in the field of parenteral and enteral nutrition in China. This paper reviewed the translational medical research of parenteral and enteral nutrition in China. At present, clinical studies toward the goal of "reasonable use to benefit patients" should be conducted in parenteral and enteral nutrition field in China, such as clinical effectiveness study of nutritional risk screening 2002 and Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition criteria, or health economics study on nutritional drug.
随着我国人口老龄化的加剧,骨骼健康问题越来越受到人们的关注.骨质疏松症为最常见的骨骼健康问题,是一种以骨量低、骨组织微结构损坏导致骨脆性增加、易发生骨折为特征的全身性骨病 [1].骨质疏松症常发生在老年男性和绝经后女性人群中,是造成老年患者骨折而致残和致死的主要原因之一.对高危人群进行早期筛查与诊断并及时治疗,可有效降低骨质疏松症带来的危害.临床医生主要依据骨密度测量结果 和相关危险因素来诊断骨质疏松症并评估骨折风险,目前常用的骨密度测量设备包括双能X线骨密度测量仪、定量CT骨密度分析系统和超声骨密度仪.本文对这三种设备的技术及临床应用进展进行介绍和对比分析.
自21世纪初,经皮冠状动脉介入治疗(percutaneous coronary intervention, PCI)心血管疾病的年手术量已逼近八百万的数量级,按2001年开展的577767例计算,相当于在每100万人口中有1108例进行PCI术,且该数字以每年15%~25%的速度持续增长[1].药物洗脱支架(drug-eluting stent, DES)凭借其对支架内再狭窄的有效控制,成为当前PCI的"金标准"[2].但有研究表明,DES置入可能导致动脉粥样硬化过程加速、炎症反应和支架小梁断裂等风险[3].因此,近5年研究的热点逐渐转移到了以药物洗脱球囊(drug-coated balloon,DCB)和生物可吸收支架(bioresorbable scarfold, BRS)为代表的新型治疗器械[4-9].新型治疗器械可为血管提供"一过性"支撑、且没有永久的残留物,从而在理论上避免了残留物对血管造成的远期潜在影响[10-11].DCB及BRS的临床应用促进PCI进入了"介入无置入"的时代.
目的:探索中国≥60岁老年人群心率与心血管死亡、非心血管死亡及全因死亡风险的相关性.方法:本研究基于前瞻性城乡流行病学研究中国队列(PURE-China)的随访调查.针对60岁以上老年人群,在基线调查时通过数字血压计测量心率,在随访时通过标准化的病例报告表收集心血管死亡、非心血管死亡和全因死亡事件.所有入选者按照不同性别将心率作为分类变量,分为<60次/min组、60~69次/min组、70~79次/min组、80~89次/min组和≥90次/min组共5组,以60~69次/min组作为参照组.最终8487例纳入分析.采用Cox共享脆弱模型探索心率与死亡风险的相关性.结果:8487例年龄≥60岁的老年人中,男性3925例,占总人群的46.25%,平均心率为(73.2±11.6)次/min;女性4562例,占总人群的53.75%,平均心率为(75.8±10.9)次/min.经过63688人年(中位随访时间8.55年)的随访,共发生262例心血管死亡事件、399例非心血管死亡事件和682例全因死亡事件.心率增快与≥60岁老年人群死亡风险增加有关.以心率60~69次/min组为参照组,在≥60岁老年男性人群中,当心率>80次/min以上时,三个终点事件死亡风险均显著增加(P均<0.05),而在≥60岁老年女性人群中只有当心率≥90次/min时,心血管死亡(HR=2.04,95%CI:1.07~3.87)和全因死亡(HR=1.78,95%CI:1.18~2.71)风险才显著增加.结论:心率增快与我国≥60岁老年人群的死亡风险增加有关,该关联在男性和女性人群中存在一定的差异.
Objective: To evaluate the prognostic value of the thrombolysis in myocardial infarction (TIMI) and global registry of acute coronary events (GRACE) risk scores for in-hospital mortality in Chinese non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) patients. Methods: Data of present study derived from the prospective, multi-center registry trial of Chinese AMI (CAMI). Among 31 provinces, municipalities or autonomous districts in China, at least one tertiary and secondary hospital was selected. From January 2013 to September 2014, 5 896 consecutive non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction patients who were admitted to 107 hospitals within 7 days of symptom onset were enrolled. For each patient, TIMI and GRACE risk scores were calculated using specific variables collected at admission. Their prognostic value was evaluated by the endpoint of in-hospital mortality. Results: Among 5 896 NSTEMI patients (age was (65.4±12.1) years old), 68.2% (n=4 020) were males. The in-hospital mortality was 6.0% (n=353) and the median length of hospital stay was 10.0 (7.0, 13.0) days. The incidence of pre-hospital cardiac arrest was 3.6% (n=213) among 5 896 NSTEMI patients. Six hundreds and forty five patients (10.9%) received primary percutaneous coronary intervention, and 6 patients underwent emergent coronary artery bypass grafting surgery (0.1%), and the median time of reperfusion was 529.5 (256.0, 1 065.0) minutes. The prescription percentage of statins, β-blocker, angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors or angiotensin Ⅱ receptor blockers, and aldosterone antagonists were 94.8% (n=5 587), 71.7% (n=4 228), 65.5% (n=3 864) and 26.0% (n=1 533) respectively. The area under the curve of GRACE risk score for in-hospital mortality (0.7930 (95%CI 0.767-0.818)) was better than that of TIMI risk score (0.5588 (95%CI 0.532-0.586), P<0.001). Conclusion: GRACE risk score demonstrates better predictive accuracy than TIMI risk score for in-hospital mortality in NSTEMI patients in this patient cohort.

Objective: To assess the relationship between bicycle ownership status and physical activity, time of sitting, overweight or obesity in China. Methods: Based on the information of China cohort from Prospective Urban Rural Epidemiology (PURE) study, we conducted a cross-sectional description. Multivariable linear and multivariable Logistic regression analysis were respectively used to distinguish the differences of physical activity, time of sitting, overweight or obesity status between bicycle owners and non-bicycle owners. Results: A total of 42 677 participants were analyzed, the average age was (51.23±9.72) years including 40.9% male. There were 27 744 (65.0%) bicycle owners, their MET-min/week for total physical activity, work, transportation,domestic and recreation time were 2513.00 (1114.00, 5271.00), 444.00 (0.00, 735.00), 420.00 (0.00, 990.00), 600.00 (180.00,1260.00) and 198.00 (0.00, 693.00) respectively; time of sitting was (1397.03±832.13) min/week and waist circumference was (81.03±10.53) cm. With adjusted potential confounders, bicycle owners had more transportation activity, while less total physical activity, work, domestic and recreation time than non-bicycle owners; bicycle owner had more time of sitting and less risk of obesity; BMI and waist-to-hip ratio were similar between bicycle owners and non-bicycle owners. Conclusion: Bicycle owners had more transportation related physical activity and less risk of obesity; while the total physical activity, domestic and recreation related physical activity might be reduced in them.
