ObjectiveTo retrospectively analyze incidence and trends of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) from 2004 to 2013 in Shenzhen. MethodsA total of 9100 preterm children (5401 males, 3699 females) were screened for ROP in Shenzhen from January 2004 to June 2013 using binocular ophthalmoscope or RetCam Ⅱ. First examination was performed from 4-6 weeks after birth. The birth weight was 520-2990 g with an average of (1710±410) g.The gestational age were 24-36 weeks with an average of (31.57±1.99) weeks. The gestational age of 208 children were <28 weeks, 3608 children were 28-32 weeks, 3553 children was 33-34 weeks, 1731 children was >34 weeks. The ocular findings were recorded according to the International Classification of ROP and The Early Treatment for ROP. Only the more aggressive eye of bilateral asymmetrical cases was counted for statistical purpose, and the cases required surgeries were defined as severe cases. The 10 years period was divided into first phase (2004-2008) and second phase (2009-2013). The incidence of ROP and severe ROP of these two phases was compared and statistics was analyzed. ResultsIn the past 10 years, the overall incidence of ROP and sever ROP in Shenzhen was 12.49% and 4.99% in this screen. The children were divided into 4 groups according to the birth weight, the ROP incidences of birth weight <1000 g, 1000-1499 g, 1500-1999 g and ≥2000 g were 62.62%, 28.40%, 11.34% and 3.63% respectively. The severe ROP incidences were 34.95%, 12.21%, 3.73% and 0.49% respectively in these birth weight groups. The children were divided into 4 groups according to gestational weeks, the ROP incidences of gestational age <28 weeks, 28-32 weeks, 33-34 weeks and >34 weeks were 67.31%, 25.27%, 7.22% and 3.87% respectively. Severe ROP incidences were 37.02%, 10.71%, 1.79% and 0.68% in these gestational age groups respectively. ROP and severe ROP incidences were decreased from 14.64% at first phase to 11.47% at second phase, and from 6.52% at first phase to 4.26% second phase respectively, the differences were statistical significant (χ2=26.96, 26.61; P<0.05). ROP and severe ROP incidence in <1000 g birth weight group at second phase were much less than the first phase (χ2=13.676, 5.271; P<0.05). In <28 weeks gestational age group, the ROP incidence was the same in first phase and second phase (χ2=0.843, P>0.05), but the severe ROP incidence at second phase was much less the first phase (χ2=4.757,P<0.05). ConclusionFrom 2004 to 2013, the incidences of ROP and severe ROP have decreased significantly in Shenzhen.
ObjectiveIn order to provide guidance for early interference of diabetic retinopathy (DR) in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM), we surveyed the prevalence and analysis the related factors of DR in Shanghai Songnan community. MethodsBased on an established resident health database, an epidemiology study was performed on the residents with DM in Shanghai Songnan community.1177 patients completed questionnaire survey, and received physical examination and laboratory tests. The diagnosis and grading of DR were established based on the ocular fundus images acquired by digital non-mydriasis fundus camera. Patients with incomplete questionnaires were excluded. ResultsThere were 1120 DM patients with valid questionnaires. DR was found in 264 (23.57%) patients. The prevalence of mild, moderate, severe non-proliferative DR and proliferative DR was 17.05%, 5.09%, 1.16% and 0.27% respectively. There was significant differences in age, disease course, systolic blood pressure, insulin usage between the DR group and NDR group(t=-2.647, 2.688, 2.204, 2.291;χ2=12.527;P=0.008, 0.007, 0.028, 0.022, 0.000). There was significant differences in fasting blood-glucose and insulin usage between the mild, the moderate and the severe DR group(t=21.964, χ2=14.996;P=0.000, 0.001). Stepwise logistic analysis identified that age, DM course, and insulin usage were the related factors of DR (OR=0.769, 1.239, 1.100, 1.071, 1.682;P=0.001, 0.043, 0.176, 0.097, 0.005). ConclusionThe age, DM course, and insulin usage were the related factors of DR. The high prevalence of DR indicated the importance of the management of diabetic patients.
Objective To estimate the prevalence rate and risk factors of diabetic retinopathy (DR) in rural residents in Shandong．Methods A total of 16 330 residents in 8 counties in Shandong province underwent the screening of diabetes by multistage randomized clustersampling; while the standard of diagnosis of diabetes was in accordance with the WHO standard (1990). Diabetes was diagnosed in 707 residents who then underwent questionnaire survey and examinations of fasting bloodglucose，urine protein, visual acuity, slitlamp microscope, and direct opthalmoscope. The standard of DR screening was drawn according to the international DR classification (2002). The data were statistically analyzed with SPSS 11.5 software. Results In 16 330 residents,707 were with diabetes (4.33%), 26.30% of them (181 cases) had DR (1.11% of all the residents). Multivariable analysis showed that kidney damage, hypertension and high blood glucose were the risk factors for DR; while the age, sex, and family history were not related much to DR. Conclusion The prevalence rate of DR in rural residents of Shandong is high. Kidney involvement, hypertension and high blood glucose are the risk factors of DR.
Objective To estimate the prevalence rate and risk factors of diabetic retinopathy (DR) in rural residents in Changzhi. Methods With the help of an established resident health data, a epidemiology study was performed on 63 409 residents (ge;15 years old) in the rural area of Changzhi; while the standard of diagnosis of diabetes was in accordance with the standard made by WHO in 1997. Diabetes was diagnosed in 2632 residents, and these patients underwent the investigation and examination including the disease history, glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c), fasting blood glucose, visual acuity, ocular diseases and intraocular pressure. The standard of DR was drawn according to the diagnosis standard made by Chinese Ocular Fundus Diseases Society, Chinese Ophthalmological Society, Chinese Medical Association in 1985. The data was statistically analyzed by SPSS 13.0 software. Results A total of 57 500 residents underwent the examination with the participating rate of 90.68%; 2632(4.58%) were diagnosed as with diabetes, in whom 986 were with DR (with DR prevalence of 37.46%). The duration of diabetes was the independent risk factor of DR (r=0.210,P＜0.001). The duration of diabetes and combined with hypertension were the influence factors of the development of DR. The visual acuity in residents with or without DR differed significantly（P＜0.01）. The level of HbA1c was positively related to DR. Conclusions The incidence of DR is high in residents with diabetes in eastern countryside area of Changzhi. The duration of diabetes and combined with hypertension were the influence factors of the development of DR. The level of HbA1c may be the important indicator which can monitor the occurrence and development of DR in patients with diabetes.
Objective To investigate the prevalence and related factors of diabetic retinopathy (DR) among residents with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in Culai Town of Tai'an City in Shandong Province. Methods According to the DM management file database for community, 785 patients with T2DM were randomly selected by cluster sampling method. The questionnaires, routine general examinations, visual and fundus-free fluoroscopy were performed on all the patients. DR diagnosis and classification was according to the guidelines for clinical diagnosis and treatment of DR in China (2014). Both monocular and binocular DR were selected as DR patients, and the worse eye for binocular DR were treated as the DR classification of the patient. The patients were grouped by presence or absence of DR. GraphPad Prism 6, SigmaPlot 12.5, SPSS 20.0 and Excel were used to achieve data analysis. Also, SPSS 20.0 was used for multi-factor logistic regression analysis. Results A total of 699 patients (89.04%) were actually recorded. There were 122 eyes of 63 patients (9.01%) with DR (DR group), 1272 eyes of 636 patients (90.99%) without DR (NDR group). Among the 122 eyes of DR, there were 19 (15.57%), 17 (13.93%), 70 (57.38%), 10 (8.20%), 6 (4.92%) eyes in stage Ⅰ, Ⅱ, Ⅲ, Ⅳ, Ⅴ, respectively. The differences of mean age (t=15 290, P=0.002), DM duration (t=9075, P＜0.000) and diastolic blood pressure (t=15 810, P=0.006) between the two groups were statistically significant. There were 23 (36.51%) and 394 (61.95%) patients with hypertension history in the DR group and the NDR group, with the significant difference ( χ2=15.42, OR=0.35, 95%CI 0.21-0.60). There were 57 (90.48%) and 500 (78.62%) patients with fasting blood glucose larger than 6.11 mmol/L in the DR group and the NDR group, with the significant difference (OR=2.51, 95%CI 1.06-5.95, P=0.031). Logistic regression analysis showed that the age, fasting blood glucose and DM duration were influencing factors for DR (OR=1.039, 0.864, 0.898; P=0.021, ＜0.000, ＜0.000). Conclusion The prevalence of DR in patients with T2DM in Culai Town of Tai'an City is 9.01%. Age, DM duration, fasting blood glucose are associated to DR. Those with a history of hypertension may have a lower risk of DR than those without a history of hypertension.
Mitral regurgitation (MR) is the most common heart valve disease. In recent years, the rise of interventional therapy has expanded the indications of interventional treatment for patients with MR, but the epidemiological characteristics of MR (especially the number of patients with MR requiring treatment) in China are still unclear. In this paper, we analyzed and estimated the number of MR patients in China based on three epidemiological studies in Europe and America, and referring to the patients population surveys from Zhongshan Hospital Affiliated to Fudan University, the Second Affiliated Hospital Zhejiang University School of Medicine and Beijing Fuwai Hospital. Our analysis estimated that about 7.5 million patients with MR need intervention in China, including about 5.5 million patients with severe MR.
Objective To analyze the prevalence rate of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in people over 40 years old in China plateau (altitude≥1 000 m) in recent years. Methods PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, WanFang Data, VIP databases and Chinese Medical Database were searched, and the articles published between January 1, 2010 and December 5, 2022 were collected. Two reviewers independently reviewed the literature, extracted data, and assessed the risk of bias of included articles. Meta-analysis was performed with Stata 17.1. Results A total of 13 articles were included, with a total sample size of 37 230 people, including 3 697 chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients. The prevalence rate of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in people over 40 years old in China plateau was 9.0% [95% confidence interval (0.07, 0.11), P<0.001]. The results of subgroup analysis showed that males (12.4%), smokers (13.4%), 61-70 years old (15.1%), primary school and below (10.3%), low body weight (12.2%) and Yunnan (11.5%) had the highest prevalence rates within the subgroup (P<0.05). Conclusions The prevalence of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in China plateau is still high. Gender, age, smoking, education level, body mass index and region are still important influencing factors of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
Objective To determine the incidence of and risk fact ors for retino pathy of prematurity (ROP) among preterm infants in Beijing after implementation of the ROP guidelines. Methods The preterm infants with birth weight le; 2000 g or gestational age le; 3 4 weeks who were admitted to the neonatal intensive care units in 6 hospitals in Beijing from Jan. 1, 2005 to Dec. 31, 2005 were screened. Ophthalmologic examin ations started 3-4 weeks after birth and ROP was classified by the revised Inte r national Classification. Maternal and perinatal risk factors of occurrence of R OP were analyzed. Results In the 639 infants who had been scre ened in the 6 ho spitals, ROP was detected in 69 (10.8%), in whom 23 infants (39 eyes) (3.6%) had type 1 ROP and underwent photocoagulation. The lower the birth weight and small er the gestational age was, the higher the incidence of ROP was. Logistic regres sion analysis indicated that low birth weight, apnea gt;20 seconds, anemia, hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy and placenta abruption were the high risk factor of R O P.Conclusion In Beijing the incidence of ROP is 10.8% after i mplementation of the ROP guidelines. Low birth weight, apnea gt;20 seconds, anemia, hypoxicischem ic encephalopathy and placenta abruption were the high risk factor of ROP.
ObjectiveTo summary the study results of the Sichuan Gastric Cancer Early Detection and Screening Research Program (SIGES). MethodsIn the past 10 years, SIGES program conducted a series of clinical and clinical epidemiological studies on the current situation and strategies of gastric cancer prevention and control in China, which provided evidence for supply-side structural reform to improve the gastric cancer prevention and control. We collected related studies and made a review. ResultsSIGES program systematically and specifically studied carcinogenic pathogens, risk factors, screening strategies, as well as critical technique and system construction of tertiary prevention for gastric cancer. The main results supported that Helicobacter pylori was highly correlated with precancerous atrophic gastritis and gastric cancer. Oncoviruses, such as Epstein-Barr virus, hepatitis B virus, human cytomegalovirus, human papillomavirus, John Cunningham virus were correlated with the risk of gastric cancer, and should be paid further attention in the prevention and screening strategy of gastric cancer. Ethnicity, domicile, and family history of gastric cancer were also correlated with gastric cancer and gastric cancer-related risk factors, so it was suggested to include in the personalized evaluation criteria system of high-risk groups for gastric cancer. ConclusionsAt present, the prevention and control of gastric cancer in China has achieved substantial achievements, but the burden of gastric cancer keeps heavy. It is still necessary to conduct further scientific research on critical technique or issues in designing prevention and control strategies.
ObjectiveThis review aimed to summarize the current epidemiological status and risk factors of pancreatic cancer at home and abroad.MethodThe literatures on epidemiology and risk factors of pancreatic cancer in recent years were collected and summarized.ResultsCurrently the overall incidence of pancreatic cancer was lower in all malignant tumors, but the mortality rate was the opposite. Incidence varies from region to region, the incidence rate in economically developed areas was higher than that of underdeveloped areas. Although the disease had made some progress in the fields of surgery, chemotherapy, an so on, the long-term survival of patients with pancreatic cancer was still not ideal. The onset of pancreatic cancer was associated with smoking, alcohol, obesity, dietary imbalance, age, gender, blood type, ethnicity, family history and genetic history, chronic pancreatitis, infection, and intestinal flora imbalance.ConclusionsPancreatic cancer is a high malignancy with a poor prognosis. It is influenced by a variety of risk factors. Therefore, it is especially necessary to pay attention to the primary prevention of pancreatic cancer and screen high-risk individuals regularly, to diagnose pancreatic cancer at an early stage.
