基于时滞关联特征患者就诊反馈分析

抓取“微医网”医患评论数据，对其中时滞与患者满意度进行关联分析，并对评论内容进行主题挖掘，提取不同时滞区间内患者重点关注的内容。通过对患者评论文本不同时滞区间内容的分析，寻找满意度提升策略，以缓解医患关系。使用K-means将患者反馈数据根据就诊后时长反馈分为“短期”和“长期”，通过LDA主题提取模型，对满意度划分后的患者评论文本挖掘不同时滞区间内患者所关注的重点内容，将其差异进行对比分析发现，患者就诊满意度随着时滞呈现趋高现象，不同时滞文本显示患者评论维度大致相同，但随着时滞区间的转移，患者所关注的就诊体验内容也有所变化。     

Genotypes and Phenotypes of Chinese Pediatric Patients With Idiopathic and Heritable Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension—A Single-Center Study

BackgroundThe relationship between clinical outcomes and gene mutations in Chinese pediatric patients with idiopathic and heritable pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is unclear.MethodsWe retrospectively studied the clinical characteristics and outcomes of pediatric patients who visited Beijing Anzhen Hospital from September 2008 to December 2018.ResultsEighty-two pediatric patients were included. Forty-two gene mutations were identified in 41 patients (50%), including 25 mutations in BMPR2, 5 mutations in ACVRL1, 3 mutations each in ABCA3 and NOTCH3, 2 mutations each in KCNK3 and HTR2B, 1 mutation in ENG, and 1 mutation in EIF2AK4. The mean age at diagnosis of PAH was 86.4 ± 55.1 months. Forty-eight patients (twenty-eight mutation carriers) underwent cardiac catheterization examinations, with acute vasodilator testing performed simultaneously. Results showed that mutation carriers demonstrated a higher pulmonary vascular resistance index (P = 0.037). Patients with gene mutations responded poorly to vasodilators (P = 0.001). The 1-, 2-, and 3-year survival rates of mutation noncarriers were 95.1%, 87.8%, and 82.5% respectively; while for mutation carriers, the proportions were 86.6% (P = 0.216), 63.8% (P = 0.021), and 52.2% (P = 0.010), respectively. Cardiac index was an independent predictor of death (P = 0.005; odds ratio [OR] 2.16, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.258-3.704), as well as RAP (P = 0.01; OR 1.26, 95% CI 1.056-1.503).ConclusionsIn our cohort of Chinese pediatric patients, those with an identified gene mutation demonstrated worse clinical outcomes. Therefore, early gene screening for pediatric patients with idiopathic and heritable PAH is recommended, and more aggressive treatment for mutation carriers may be advisable.     

Accessibility of Medical Diagnostic Equipment for Patients With Disability: Observations From Physicians

ObjectiveTo explore attitudes and practices of physicians relating to accessible medical diagnostic equipment in serving patients with mobility disability.DesignOpen-ended individual telephone interviews, which reached data saturation. Interview recordings were transcribed verbatim for qualitative conventional content analysis.SettingMassachusetts, the United States, October 2017-January 2018.ParticipantsPracticing physicians from 5 clinical specialties (N=20).InterventionsNot applicable.Main Outcome MeasuresCommon themes concerning physical accessibility.ResultsMean ± SD time in practice was 27.5±12.5 years; 14 practices had height-adjustable examination tables; and 7 had wheelchair-accessible weight scales. The analysis identified 6 broad themes: height-adjustable examination tables have advantages; height-adjustable examination tables have drawbacks; transferring patients onto examination tables is challenging; rationale for examining patients in their wheelchairs; perceptions of wheelchair-accessible weight scales; and barriers and facilitators to improving physical accessibility. Major barriers identified by participants included costs of equipment, limited space, and inadequate payment for extra time required to care for persons with disability. Even physicians with accessible examination tables sometimes examined patients seated in their wheelchairs.ConclusionsEven if physicians have accessible equipment, they do not always use it in examining patients with disability. Future efforts will need to consider ways to eliminate these access barriers in clinical practice. Given small sample size, results are not generalizable to physicians nationwide and globally.

Testing a new taxonomic model for the assessment of medical devices: Is it plausible and applicable? Insights from HTA reports and interviews with HTA institutions in Europe

Objective

Medical devices (MDs) encompass a broad and heterogeneous range of technologies. While practices vary considerably across countries, MDs often find application in patient care with little or no evaluation of their effectiveness and safety following market approval. A recently proposed taxonomy of MDs considered devices from the viewpoint of Health Technology Assessment (HTA). The aim of the work presented here was to test its plausibility and applicability by considering real-world HTA practices.

Engaging the Health Care Professional

There is no shortage of discussion surrounding the importance of achieving a highly engaged workforce in health care institutions. Despite the abundance of idealisms surrounding the importance of providing patient-centered care, some medical radiation technologists may consider this to be a contradiction, when they themselves do not feel valued or empowered by their employer. In addition, overwhelming evidence points to the fact that high employee engagement is directly linked to positive patient experiences and outcomes. Logically, it then follows that much attention should be paid to fully engaging health care teams. Highly engaged medical radiation technologists are more likely to provide personalized patient-centered care. Health care leaders can help to engage their teams by using effective behavioral and leadership styles that will be received favourably by most staff. With the evolution of the generations occupying the workplace, managers must adapt and vary their leadership styles, if they hope to effectively engage their teams and provide world-class patient-centered care.     

Bolus 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) In Combination With Oxaliplatin Is Safe and Well Tolerated in Patients Who Experienced Coronary Vasospasm With Infusional 5-FU or Capecitabine

Introduction

Coronary vasospasm associated with fluoropyrimidine (FP)-based chemotherapy is a potentially serious complication and reported to occur more often with infusional 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) or capecitabine than with bolus 5-FU. Given the additional benefit of oxaliplatin over FP alone in the management of colorectal cancer, retaining oxaliplatin in the treatment regimen is desirable, but the safety of combining bolus 5-FU with oxaliplatin in patients with FP-induced vasospasm is not well established. We performed a retrospective review to explore the safety of substituting FLOX (bolus 5-FU, oxaliplatin, leucovorin) for FOLFOX (infusional 5-FU, oxaliplatin, leucovorin) and CAPOX (capecitabine, oxaliplatin) in patients who had FP-induced coronary vasospasm.
