ObjiectiveTo obtain reliable evidence of diagnosis and treatment through evaluating the validity of pneumonia severity index (PSI), CURB-65 and acute physiology and chronic health evaluationⅡ(APACHEⅡ) scores in predicting risk stratification, severity evaluation and prognosis in elderly community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) patients.MethodsClinical and demographic data were collected and retrospectively analyzed in 125 in-hospital patients with CAP admitted in Shanghai Dahua Hospital from January 2012 to April 2015. The severity of pneumonia was calculated with PSI, CURB-65 and APACHEⅡgroups during 1 to 3 days after admission. Mortality and intensive care unit (ICU) admission rates were evaluated among patients in each scores and was categorized into three classes, namely mild, moderate and severe groups during 1 to 3 days after admission. Mortality and ICU admission rates were evaluated among patients in each severity level. Through evaluating the sensitivity, specificity, the predicting values and the area under receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve (AUC) among PSI, CURB-65 and APACHEⅡ, the validity and consistency of these three scoring systems were assessed.ResultsUsing PSI, CURB-65 and APACHEⅡ scoring systems, the patients were categorized into mild severity (48.8%, 64.0% and 52.8%, respectively), moderate severity (37.6%, 23.2% and 32.0%, respectively) and severe severity (13.6%, 12.8% and 15.2%, respectively). In PSI, CURB-65 and APACHEⅡ systems, the mortality in high risk groups was 41.3%, 62.5% and 47.4%, respectively; The ICU-admission rate in high risk groups was 88.3%, 100.0% and 94.7%, respectively. The sensitivity of PSI, CURB-65 and APACHEⅡ was 50.0%, 71.4% and 64.3% in predicting mortality, and was 46.8%, 50.0% and 59.3% in predicting ICU-admission, respectively. PSI, CURB-65 and APACHEⅡ showed similar specificity (approximately 90%) in predicting mortality and ICU admission. ROC was conducted to evaluate the sensitivity of PSI, APACHEⅡ and CURB-65 in predicting mortality and ICU admission. The AUC had no significant difference among these three scoring systems. The AUC of PSI, CURB-65 and APACHEⅡwas 0.893, 0.871, 0.880, respectively for predicting mortality, and was 0.949, 0.837, 0.949, respectively for predicting ICU admission. There was no significant difference among these three scoring in predicting mortality and ICU admission (all P>0.05).ConclusionsPSI, CURB-65 and APACHEⅡ performed similarly and achieved high predictive values in elderly patients with CAP. The three scoring systems are consistent in predicting mortality risk in elderly CAP patients. The CURB-65 is more sensitive in predicting the risk of death, and more early in identifing patients with high risk of death. The APACHEⅡ is more sensitive in predicting the risk of ICU admission, and has good value in identifying severe patients and choosing the right treatment sites.
Objective To investigate the relationship between the red blood cell distribution width (RDW) and the severity of community-acquired pneumonia (CAP). Methods The clinical data of 285 adult patients with CAP admitted from November 2014 to August of 2017 were analyzed retrospectively. The severity of CAP was evaluated by pneumonia severity index (PSI) score. Meanwhile, 60 cases with qualified medical examination were collected as a healthy control group. The distributions of PSI score, RDW, procalcitonin (PCT), C-reactive protein (CRP) and neutrophil percentage (NEU%) were described in the patients with different risk degree. The correlation analysis of various indicators were analyzed by Spearman correlation. The threshold of RDW(%) was calculated through the construction of the general linear regression equation. The risk factors of PSI score were analyzed with multiple linear regression. Results The higher the risk stratification, the higher the distribution of PSI scores, RDW, PCT, CRP and NEU% were. RDW was positively correlated with PCT, CRP, and NEU% (r values were 0.417, 0.252, 0.318, respectively, P<0.05). PSI score was positively correlated with RDW, PCT, CRP, and NEU% (r values were 0.537,0.598, 0.557, 0.482, respectively, P<0.05). RDW was positively correlated with PSI score (r=0.537, P<0.05). The thresholds of RDW(%) were 14.514 and 19.041. Multiple linear regression showed that RDW, PCT, CRP and NEU% were all influential factors of PSI scores and explained 46.9% of the total mutation rate. Conclusion RDW is correlated with the severity of CAP, and can predict the severity of CAP.
ObjectiveTo analyze the methods of offside reconstruction in total hip arthroplasty (THA) for severe osteoarthritis. MethodsBetween July 2009 and June 2011,18 cases (18 hips) of severe osteoarthritis of the hip were treated by THA,including 14 males and 4 females with a mean age of 55.4 years (range,47-72 years).The disease duration was 11-74 months (mean,33.6 months).The left hip was involved in 11 cases and the right hip in 7 cases.The hip Harris score was 34.6±5.3.The lower limb discrepency was observed in 15 cases.Thomas sign,Patrick sign,and Trendelenburg sign were positive in all cases.All patients received THA; during operation,standard femoral neck osteotomy was performed and the correct rotation center was chosen to reconstruct offside. ResultsAll the incisions healed primarily.Common peroneal nerve injury occurred in 1 case and was cured after symptomatic treatment for 3 months,and the other patients had no complication.The mean follow-up period was 43.5 months (range,30-53 months).All patients achieved pain relief,and returned to normal gait.The X-ray films showed no dislocation of the hip or prosthetic loosening.Lower limb discrepency was observed in 6 cases.The mean offside difference between normal and ipsilateral side was 0.4 mm (range,0.1-0.7 mm).At last follow-up,the hip Harris score was 83.0±7.1,showing significant difference when compared with preoperative score (t=-22.96,P=0.01); the hip range of motion was significantly increased when compared with preoperative one (P<0.05). ConclusionThe offside reconstruction can accurately be carried out by making precise template and vernier caliper measurement,selecting suitable prosthesis preoperatively,maintaining the proper femoral calcar length,adjusting the length of the neck and neck-shaft angle,releasing the soft tissue reasonably during THA for severe osteoarthritis,and the short-term effectiveness is satisfactory.
Objective To investigate the technique of reduction by posterior approach for severe spondylolisthesis, and to discuss the method to prevent nerve stretch injury. Methods Between July 2007 and April 2011, 17 patients with severe spondylolisthesis underwent reduction, fixation, and fusion by posterior approach. There were 2 males and 15 females with a median age of 15 years (range, 8-67 years) and a median disease duration of 18 months (range, 5 months-16 years and 4 months). The level of spondylolisthesis was at L4 in 1 case and L5 in 16 cases; the spondylolisthesis was at degree III in 12 cases and degree IV in 5 cases according to Meyerding classification. There were 16 cases of developmental spondylolisthesis (high- dysplastic and low-dysplasia spondylolisthesis in 9 and 7 cases, respectively) and 1 case of traumatic spondylolisthesis; 16 cases of developmental spondylolisthesis at L5 level included 6 cases of type 4, 9 case of type 5, and 1 case of type 6 according to Spinal Deformity Study Group (SDSG) classification. All cases underwent posterior spinal decompression, Schanz screw fixation for the slipped vertebrae, the intervertebral and posterolateral fusion and reduction of the slipped vertebrae, and correction of the lumbosacral kyphosis. The reductive degree of slipped vertebrae was modulated according to the strain of exiting spinal root. The slip degree should be reduced within Meyerding degree II. The anteroposterior and lateral radiographs of whole spine were taken in a standardized standing position to observe the correction of displacement severity and lumbosacral angle. The nerve function and pain score of lower extremity were evaluated by neurological Frankel grade and visual analogue scale (VAS). Bony fusion was assessed by followed-up CT three-dimentional reconstruction. Results Exiting nerve root paralysis occurred in 1 case after operation, and released at 4 weeks after operation; no aggravation of nerve damage was observed in the other patients. The incisions primarily healed. All the patients were followed up 12-48 months (mean, 25 months). The slip percentage, the lumbosacral angle, and VAS score of lower extremity were improved from 72% ± 10%, (18.2 ± 3.5)°, and 7.0 ± 1.5 at preoperation to 12% ± 6%, ( — 7.3 ± 2.9)°, and 1.5 ± 1.3 at 12 months after operation respectively, all showing significant differences (P lt; 0.05). Osteosynthesis was seen at the bone grafting area by CT three-dimentional reconstruction at 12 months after operation. No breakage of screw and rod or reduction loss occurred. Conclusion It can obtain satisfactory clinical result to use spinal canal decompression by posterior approach, the Schanz screw fixation of the slipped vertebrae, the intervertebral and posterolateral fusion for severe spondylolisthesis. The risk of nerve stretch injury can be prevented by choosing the lowest height of intervertebral cage, modulating the reductive degree of slipped vertebrae according to the strain of exiting spinal root, and correcting lumbosacral kyphosis.
Objective To review the research progress in the treatment of high-grade spondylolisthesis (HS), in order to provide a reference for clinical treatment decision-making. Methods The literature related to the treatment of HS at home and abroad in recent years was widely reviewed. The methods of conservative treatment, in situ fusion, and spondylolisthesis reduction were analyzed and summarized. Results Surgical treatment is the main treatment of HS, but which method is the best is still controversial. The advantages, disadvantages, and applicability of various operations are also different, so individualized analysis is needed in clinic. Conclusion The treatment plan of HS needs to be considered comprehensively according to the individual condition of the patient. It will be an important research direction to further compare the existing treatment methods and develop more safe and effective new technology.
ObjectiveTo explore the effects of procedure for prolapse and hemorrhoids (PPH) combined with partial internal anal sphincterotomy (Abbreviation: PPH+sphincterotomy) on postoperative wound margin edema and anal function in patients with severe mixed hemorrhoids.MethodsEighty-five patients with severe mixed hemorrhoids admitted to this hospital from February 2017 to February 2018 were selected as the study subjects, then they were divided into a PPH group (n=42) and PPH+sphincterotomy group (n=43) according to the different treatment methods. The patient in the PPH group was treated with the PPH, while in the PPH+sphincterotomy group was treated with the partial internal anal sphincterotomy on the basis of the PPH group. The clinical efficacy, degree of pain, edema of wound margin, anal function, and the recurrence rate of symptoms were observed in two groups.Results① There were no significant differences in the baseline data such as the gender, age, course of disease, grading of internal hemorrhoids, and symptoms between the two groups (P>0.05). ② The total effective rate of the PPH+sphincterotomy group was significantly higher than that of the PPH group [100% (43/43) versus 90.48% (38/42), χ2=4.297, P=0.038]. ③ The VAS score of the PPH+sphincterotomy group was significantly lower than that of the PPH group on the 3rd and 7th day after the treatment (P<0.05), the VAS score of each group at the 3rd or 7th day after the treatment was significantly lower than that before the treatment (P<0.05), and it was significantly lower on the 7th day than that on the 3rd day after the treatment (P<0.05). ④ The postoperative wound margin edema in the PPH group was more serious than that in PPH+sphincterotomy group (χ2=20.237, P<0.001), and the score in the PPH group was significantly higher than that in the PPH+sphincterotomy group (t=13.514, P<0.001). ⑤ The resting pressure of anal canal after the treatment was significantly lower than that before treatment (P<0.05), and the diastolic pressure of anal canal after the treatment was significantly higher than that before the treatment (P<0.05) in the two groups. The resting pressure of anal canal in the PPH+sphincterotomy group was significantly lower than that in the PPH group and the diastolic pressure of anal canal was significantly higher than that in the PPH group (P<0.05) after the treatment. ⑥ In addition, the total recurrence rate of symptoms at 1 year in the PPH+sphincterotomy group was significantly lower than that of the PPH group [6.98% (3/43) versus 23.81% (10/42), χ2=4.647, P=0.031].ConclusionPPH+sphincterotomy could effectively relieve symptoms of severe mixed hemorrhoids, improve clinical efficacy, and reduce recurrence rate.
