目的研究预见性护理在老年糖尿病性冠心病患者护理中的应用效果。方法选取2017年7月～2019年7月我院收治的70例糖尿病性冠心病老年患者开展项目研究,采用数字随机表法将其平均分成两组(研究组与对照组),每组35例。对照组运用常规护理,研究组运用预见性护理,对比两组患者接受不同护理手段的血糖、血脂、并发症等变化。结果干预前两组血糖、血脂对比无明显差异(P0.05),干预后,研究组高密度脂蛋白胆固醇高于对照组,甘油三酯、低密度脂蛋白胆固醇、总胆固醇等指标均低于对照组,研究组干预后餐后2 h血糖与空腹血糖低于对照组,糖化血红蛋白高于对照组,研究组不良反应发生率为2.86%,相比于对照组的17.14%,前者优势显著,组间对比有统计学意义(P0.05)。结论针对糖尿病性冠心病老年患者,在其临床护理过程中开展预见性护理干预,可有效稳定其临床各项生命体征,降低患者不良反应发生率,对促进患者预后恢复具有重要帮助,可予以广泛推广实施。     

Prevalence and Associated Factors of Diabetes Mellitus in a Very Elderly Chinese Population: A Cross-sectional Study

Objectives This paper aimed to investigate the prevalence of diabetes mellitus(DM) and explore the associated risk factors in a very elderly southwest Chinese population.Methods From September 2015 to June 2016, a cross-sectional survey was conducted to obtain a representative sample of 1,326 participants over 80 years old living in Chengdu. The presence of DM was based on fasting plasma glucose(FPG) and 2-h plasma glucose(2-h PG) levels during an oral glucose tolerance test(OGTT). A logistic regression model was used to calculate the odds ratios(ORs) and 95%confidence intervals(CIs) of the potential associated factors.Results The participants' mean age was 83.5 ± 3.1 years. The overall prevalence of DM was 27.4%. The prevalence was higher in males(30.2%) than females(24.7%)(P = 0.02). The prevalence of DM increased with body mass index(BMI) and decreased with aging. The multivariate analysis suggested that male sex(OR = 1.433; 95% CI, 1.116–1.843), hypertension(OR = 1.439; 95% CI, 1.079–1.936), overweight or obesity(OR = 1.371; 95% CI, 1.023–1.834), high heart rate(≥ 75 beats/min; OR = 1.362; 95% CI,1.063–1.746), and abdominal obesity(OR = 1.615; 95% CI, 1.216–2.149) were all significantly positively correlated with DM. However, age was negatively correlated with DM(OR = 0.952; 95% CI,0.916–0.989).Conclusions The prevalence of DM and newly diagnosed DM in a very elderly southwest Chinese population was high. OGTT screening should be performed regularly in people aged ≥ 80 years to ensure timely diagnosis of DM.     

社会工作视角下社区精神障碍患者职业康复服务的研究进展

通过对美国、德国及我国香港和大陆地区关于社区精神障碍者职业康复的服务进行梳理,提出关于本土精神健康社会工作在这一领域的反思现有的职业康复服务未形成层级性、专业化的体系,缺乏横向可达的资源网络,因而难以满足精障者在职业康复过程中的多元需求,精神健康社会工作者亟需在宏观、中观和微观等各层面进行努力。     

Is laparoscopic bariatric surgery as safe and effective before and after age 60? Results from a propensity-score analysis

BackgroundPatients over 60 years old undergoing bariatric surgery is still increasing.ObjectivesFirst, to assess the impact of age (>60 years) on the 90-day morbidity and mortality of both laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LRYGB) and sleeve gastrectomy (LSG), and second, to determine the effectiveness of surgical weight loss and resolution of obesity-related comorbidities for patients 60 years of age and older over a 2-year period.SettingBicentric study from University Hospital of Caen and Memorial Hospital of Saint Lô, France.MethodsThis is a retrospective review of a prospectively maintained database of patients with morbid obesity undergoing laparoscopic bariatric surgery from October 2005 to April 2019. Patients 60 years of age and older were defined as cases (elderly group [EG], n = 137), and patients younger than 60 years of age were defined as controls (young group [YG], n = 1544). The primary endpoint of the study was the prevalence of severe postoperative complications within 90 days of surgery determined by a propensity-score-matching (PSM) analysis.ResultsThe PSM population included 133 patients in the EG who were matched 1:2 with 266 patients in the YG. There was no mortality in either group. Although not significant (with an absolute difference of 4.5% between the EG and the YG), the odds of severe postoperative complications were 2.5 times higher in the EG than in the YG (7.5% versus 3.0%, P = .053). At 90 days postoperatively, the prevalences of overall morbidity (31.6% versus 22.9%, P = .044), leakage (5.3% versus 1.1%, P = .026), and reoperation (5.3% versus 1.1%, P = .026) were significantly higher in the EG than in the YG.ConclusionThis propensity-matched study suggests that laparoscopic bariatric surgery is probably an effective treatment in obese elderly patients (EPs) in terms of weight loss and resolution of comorbidities. However, the EP should be warned of the increased risk of severe postoperative complications within 90 days, including leakage and reoperation rates, especially after RYGB.     

Extending Screening in “Elderly” Patients: Should We Consider a Selective Approach?

BackgroundBreast cancer screening has been shown to reduce breast cancer-associated mortality. However, screening is limited to the targeted age group of 45 to 69 years in New Zealand despite the recognized increased risk with age. This study aims to compare the outcomes of women aged over 70 years with screen-detected and clinically detected cancers.Patients and MethodsA retrospective review was performed of prospectively collected data from June 2000 to May 2013 by the Auckland Breast Cancer Register. Demographic and tumor characteristics of women with invasive cancer and ductal carcinoma in situ diagnosis aged 70 years and over were compared between those screened and clinically detected. Five-year disease-free and overall survival outcomes were reviewed.ResultsA total of 2128 women aged 70 years and over were diagnosed with breast cancer (median, 77 years; interquartile range [IQR], 74-84 years). Of these, 416 (19.5%) were diagnosed through mammography screening, with a median age of 74 years (IQR, 71-77 years) compared with 79 years (IQR, 74-85 years) for those with clinical detected cancer diagnosis. Screen-detected cancers accounted for a significantly higher proportion of diagnoses in those aged 70 to 74 years compared with older patients (P < .001). Screen-detected cancers were of lower T and N stages. Disease-specific survival was significantly longer in screen-detected cancers versus other cancers (5-year survival, 93.7% vs. 81.9%; P < .001), as was overall survival (5-year survival, 84.7% vs. 57.4%; P < .001).ConclusionScreening in those aged 70 years and over continues to identify breast cancer at early stages and with improved survival. Although aware of the potential for lead-time bias and the healthy volunteer effect, there should still be consideration to extend breast cancer screening to patients aged to up 74 years after appropriate assessment of comorbidities and functional status.

目的:探讨延续性护理对提高老年慢性支气管炎患者生活质量及降低并发症的影响。方法:2017年5月至2018年2月收治的45例患者为对照组,应用常规护理方法;2018年3-12月收治的46例为干预组,在对照组的基础上采取出院后延续性护理。比较干预前、干预3个月后2组患者生活质量及并发症发生的情况。结果:SF-36生活质量量表中除日常活动功能(RP)维度外(62.61±9.79VS63.76±8.53,P>0.05),干预组患者在躯体功能(60.88±7.86)、社会活动功能(58.32±6.74)、身体疼痛(53.37±8.67)、活力(59.67±11.41)、总体健康(58.94±7.62)5个维度评分均高于对照组(66.18±8.81、63.27±7.19、56.47±7.34、65.38±9.47、62.71±10.08)P<0.05;干预组并发症发生率低于对照组(10.87%VS26.67%,P<0.05)。结论:延续性护理能提高老年慢性支气管炎患者的生活质量,降低并发症的发生率。     

The risk of fractures,acute myocardial infarction,atrial fibrillation and ventricular arrhythmia in geriatric patients exposed to promethazine

ABSTRACT

Objectives: This study aimed to compare the risk of fractures, acute myocardial infarction, atrial fibrillation, and ventricular arrhythmia among Danish citizens aged ≥ 65 which were new users of promethazine or domperidone, triazolam, loratadine, and betahistine. Secondly, the study aimed to perform a risk stratification to identify the most relevant predictors for the study outcomes.

Methods: The study period was 01/01/2015 to 31/12/2016. The data sources were the Danish registers. Each patient was followed for 90 days. A logistic regression model was used to compute the unadjusted and adjusted odds ratios (OR), and a conditional inference tree was used to identify the most relevant predictors for the study outcomes.

Results: Promethazine had a higher risk of hospitalization for atrial fibrillation than loratadine and betahistine (OR 1.58; 95% CI 1.07–2.63 and OR 3.22; 95% CI 1.69–7.14, respectively). For fractures, acute myocardial infarction, and ventricular arrhythmia hospitalizations, no statistically significant differences were found among drugs under investigation. The medical history of cardiac arrhythmia (OR 4.14; 95% CI 2.94–5.78, p < 0.0001) was the most relevant predictor for atrial fibrillation hospitalizations.

Conclusion: This study found an increased risk of atrial fibrillation hospitalization among promethazine users, and the risk was higher among patients with prior cardiac arrhythmia.
