Cardia: study design, recruitment, and some characteristics of the examined subjects

In 1984, a prospective cohort study, Coronary Artery Risk Development in Young Adults (CARDIA) was initiated to investigate life-style and other factors that influence, favorably and unfavorably, the evolution of coronary heart disease risk factors during young adulthood. After a year of planning and protocol development, 5,116 black and white women and men, age 18-30 years, were recruited and examined in four urban areas: Birmingham, Alabama; Chicago, Illinois; Minneapolis, Minnesota, and Oakland, California. The initial examination included carefully standardized measurements of major risk factors as well as assessments of psychosocial, dietary, and exercise-related characteristics that might influence them, or that might be independent risk factors. This report presents the recruitment and examination methods as well as the mean levels of blood pressure, total plasma cholesterol, height, weight and body mass index, and the prevalence of cigarette smoking by age, sex, race and educational level. Compared to recent national samples, smoking is less prevalent in CARDIA participants, and weight tends to be greater. Cholesterol levels are representative and somewhat lower blood pressures in CARDIA are probably, at least in part, due to differences in measurement methods. Especially noteworthy among several differences in risk factor levels by demographic subgroup, were a higher body mass index among black than white women and much higher prevalence of cigarette smoking among persons with no more than a high school education than among those with more education.     

What has trust got to do with it? Cardiac risk reduction and family physicians' discussions of evidence-based recommendations

The management of patients through the use of evidence-based medicine has become the 'mantra' of medicine within many Western countries. Evidence-based medicine is aimed at providing the best objective, scientific care to all patients, and reducing as far as possible patients' risks of disease and complications from disease. Based on family physicians' discussions of the use of evidence-based recommendations for two cardiac diseases, this paper explores how subjectively-based trust enters into family physicians' decision to use evidence-based medicine. In addition, we show how trust influences physicians' work of recommending evidence-based medicine to patients, and physicians' perceptions of why patients follow recommendations aimed at risk reduction. We conclude that although much of the current discussion about evidence-based medicine assumes a 'rational' model of physician behaviour based on the application of the 'best objective scientific' results, subjectively-based perceptions of trust influence physician practices, and point to the need to understand the power of relational issues in influencing physician practices even when utilizing evidence-based knowledge.     

慢性酒精中毒酒戒断的震颤谵妄发作危险因素探析

目的探讨慢性酒精中毒患者发生震颤谵妄(DT)的高危因素。方法把148例慢性酒精中毒患者按入院后是否出现震颤谵妄分为震颤谵妄组(DT)和非震颤谵妄组(NDT),观察他们的人口学资料(如性别、年龄、民族、婚姻状态等)、饮酒依赖史(饮酒的年限、饮酒品种、饮酒量、戒酒史等)、既往史、个人史、家族史、入院时的体征和症状(包括生命体征、戒断症状等)和身体状况等项目,描绘其临床特征,并对23项变量进行Logistic回归分析,筛选出慢性酒精中毒患者发生震颤谵妄的高危险因素。结果148例慢性酒精中毒患者在住院期间发生震颤谵妄者共28例(占18.92%)。Logistic regression model结果显示慢性酒中毒者入院后发生震颤谵妄的具有显著相关意义的5个解释变量,即入院时观察指标中的急性感染疾病、心动过速、紧张焦虑状态、精神运动性兴奋和肝功能异常。结论出现震颤谵妄的慢性酒精中毒患者与未发生震颤谵妄的慢性酒精中毒患者在入院时的临床特征存在差异,对慢性酒精中毒患者入院时及之后监测急性感染疾病、心动过速、精神运动性兴奋、紧张焦虑状态和肝功能异常等5个高危因素,有利于及时有效的干预。     

肝移植术后HBV再感染的危险因素分析及对策

目的探讨肝移植术后乙型肝炎病毒（HBV）再感染的危险因素及相关对策。方法对2003年9月至2004年12月间在我院施行原位肝移植术病例进行前瞻性研究，选取符合研究标准的130例患者，采用肌注型乙型肝炎免疫球蛋白（HBIg）联合核苷类抗病毒药物预防HBV再感染，并长期随访，分析HBV再感染的危险因素。结果130例中128例术后血清HBsAg转为阴性，并检测到HBsAb，平均随访12．2个月，HBV再感染率为6．3％（8／128）。结论肝移植术前血清HBeAg阳性、术后第1天血清HBsAg阳性及HBsAb〈200U／L是HBV再感染的危险因素。     

不同饮水类型的若干癌症发病率研究

应用回顾前瞻性方法，在海宁市随机选择了８个乡（镇）作为研究区。１９７７至１９８８年间，研究区共有癌症病例１９８８人。研究结果示，饮用池塘水的肝、肺、胃、食道及结直肠的癌症平均发病率男女均为最高；而饮用井水的上述５种癌症的平均发病率最低。在各饮水类型问对各种癌症的平均发病率作了Ｐｏｉｓｓｏｎ检验，结果差异有统计学意义。将饮用井水作为非暴露，作相对危险度分析。表明饮用河水的ＲＲ值高达７．７９～１４．２５；饮用池塘水的ＲＲ则更高（２．５５～３６．９９）。本文揭示了不同饮水类型癌症发病率的差异及其联系。

髋臼骨折术后下肢深静脉血栓形成的多因素分析

目的 分析影响髋臼骨折术后下肢深静脉血栓形成(DVT)的危险因素.方法 对102髋臼骨折术后DVT发生情况进行分析.术前及术后7～10d均用彩色多普勒检查双下肢深静脉血流通畅情况及DVT的发生,并对11项临床因素与人工关节置换术后DVT形成的相关性进行分析.结果 髋臼骨折术后发生DVT有18例,DVT发生率为17.65%(18/102).经Logistic多因素回归分析,与DVT相关的因素有6个,其中年龄、肥胖、静脉曲张及手术方式使术后发生DVT的风险分别增加到4.075、7.803、46.176和4.251倍(P＜0.05);硬膜外麻醉和踝泵练习使术后发生DVT的风险减少到0.121和0.114倍(P＜0.01).结论 年龄和肥胖是人工关节术后发生DVT的危险因素,而硬膜外麻醉和踝泵练习则是术后发生DVT的保护因素.髋臼骨折术后无症状DVT的大量存在,提示术后最好常规行双下肢彩色多普勒检查,一旦有DVT发生,及时治疗,防止发生致命性肺栓塞.     

急性脑卒中患者应激性高血糖危险因素分析

目的 探讨重症监护室（ICU）急性脑卒中患者应激性高血糖的危险因素。方法对50例急性（发病5d内1非糖尿病脑卒中患者监测血糖7-14d，比较高血糖及正常血糖两组患者年龄、糖皮质激素、临床肺部感染评分等对血糖的影响。结果高血糖组临床肺部感染评分（CPIS）为4．77±2．11，显著高于正常血糖组的3．36±2．36（P〈0．05），急性生理学及慢性健康状况评分（APACHEⅡ）高血糖组为16．23＋5．40，也显著高于正常血糖组的12．43±3．83，有显著性差异（P〈0．01）。结论CHS和APACHEⅡ升高可能是ICU非糖尿病卒中后应激性高血糖的危险因素。     

经皮胆囊碎石术后结石复发439例随访分析

目的探讨经皮胆囊碎石术(PCCL)后长期临床预后和结石复发情况,了解与结石复发的相关因素。方法对439例PCCL患者随访10年,评估结石复发率和临床预后。结果439例患者中182例结石复发,总复发率41.46%,术后1~10年结石累计复发率分别为9·57%、18·91%、27·33%、34·14%、37·59%、39·86%、41·90%、42·73%、42·85%和43·21%。182例结石复发患者中,94例无症状,80例表现有非特异性上消化道不适症状,8例有上腹痛或胆绞痛,其中38例行胆囊切除术治疗。与结石复发相关的因素包括胆囊结石家族史、喜好油腻食品、伴发肝病、PCCL术前复发胆囊结石和胆囊功能不全。结论PCCL术后结石复发不可避免,术后前6年结石复发率逐年增加明显,随后增长缓慢,术后10年约50%的患者无结石复发。一些危险因素与结石复发有关。PCCL可作为高龄和高危胆囊结石患者有价值的治疗选择,治疗其他胆囊结石患者尚需慎重选择。
