Objective To assess the prevalence of malnutrition in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) using the Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition (GLIM) criteria, analyze its associated factors, and explore the adverse effects of malnutrition on advanced NSCLC patients in multiple aspects. Methods Patients with NSCLC who were hospitalized for the first time in the Department of Oncology, Shangjin Hospital, West China Hospital, Sichuan University between January and December 2021 were retrospectively selected as the study objects. Malnutrition assessment was carried out in all patients according to GLIM criteria, and the current situation and related factors of malnutrition were analyzed. The Barthel index scale was used to compare the daily activity ability between the malnourished group and the non-malnourished group, the Quality-of-Life Questionnaire-Core 30 scale was used to compare the quality of life between the two groups, and the adverse reactions of the two groups were compared by the hospital information system course records. Results According to GLIM diagnostic criteria, 134 of 285 patients (47.0%) were diagnosed with malnutrition. The results of binary multiple logistic regression analysis showed that age [60-69 vs. <60 years old: odds ratio (OR)=2.323, 95% confidence interval (CI) (1.277, 4.397); ≥70 vs. <60 years old: OR=10.816, 95%CI (4.185, 27.959)], previous medical history [OR=2.740, 95%CI (1.313, 5.717)], and albumin level [OR=0.905, 95%CI (0.848, 0.965)] were associated with malnutrition in patients with advanced NSCLC (P<0.05). The daily activity ability and quality of life in the malnourished group were significantly worse than those in the non-malnourished group (87.57±12.48 vs. 91.82±6.77, P<0.05; 76.22±11.52 vs. 83.96±9.75, P<0.05), and the incidence of adverse reactions in the malnourished group was higher than that of the non-malnourished group (50.7% vs. 31.8%, P<0.05). Conclusions The prevalence of malnutrition in patients with advanced NSCLC is high, and advanced age, previous medical history and albumin are related factors of malnutrition in patients with advanced NSCLC. Combined malnutrition may have adverse effects on mobility, quality of life and adverse effects of anti-tumor therapy in advanced NSCLC patients.
Objective To identify related factors of anxiety and depression in spinal cord injury (SCI) patients based on patient-environment-occupation (PEO) model, and provide evidences for clinical practice. Methods A total of 241 patients with SCI treated between April 2014 and April 2015 were collected as the study subjects. All the patients were confirmed with SCI through CT or MRI, and had physical dysfunction. Self-rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) and Self-rating Depression Scale (SDS) were applied in all the 241 SCI patients to measure their psychological state. Meanwhile, PEO factors such as demographic information as well as ability of activities of daily living (ADL) and relatives’ stress were assessed by self-made questionnaire, Modified Barthel Index (MBI) and Relatives’ Stress Scale (RSS). Then, multiple stepwise regression was applied to identify significant covariance with SAS/SDS as dependent variables and other 14 factors as independent variables. Results The regression equation showed that only SDS, MBI, living environment and disease course were significantly associated with SAS. Only SAS, MBI and RSS were significantly associated with SDS. Conclusions The ability of ADL and environment are significantly correlated with psychological state of SCI patients. Early intervention of ADL and decreasing environmental barriers are needed to improve patients’ psychological state.
ObjectiveTo investigate the correlative factors for the efficacy of surgical treatment for single segment degenerative lumbar spinal disorders. MethodsFrom October 2008 to November 2010, a prospective non-randomized controlled study was carried out on 179 patients who were diagnosed to have L4-5 degenerative lumbar spinal disorders and underwent surgical treatment. Ninety-seven patients were included in our study, including 64 males and 33 females, aged between 21 and 86 years old, averaging 49.0. The follow up lasted for an average of 18.9 (12-27) months. The correlative factors including age, sex, body mass index, preoperative psychological state and degree of low back pain, surgical methods, combination with adjacent segment degeneration and recurrence state were analyzed. Single and multiple-factor Logistic regression analysis was used to determine the relationship between independent factors and surgical results of lumbar degenerative disease. ResultsAt the last follow-up, Japanese Orthopaedic Association scores were improved to 22.40±3.18 with an improving rate of (68.5±15.7)% compared with the preoperative condition (7.61±3.09), and the difference was significant (t=-33.031, P<0.001). Univariate analysis showed that all factors were variables associated with the surgical results excluding sex and age (P<0.05). Multiple-factor logistic regression analysis showed that the preoperative psychological state, combination with adjacent segment degeneration and surgical methods had important impact on the surgical results (P<0.05). ConclusionSurgical treatment of lumbar degenerative disease is effective. The preoperative psychological state, combination with adjacent segment degeneration and surgical methods are important factors associated with the surgical results.
Objective To explore the related factors of postoperative pulmonary infection (PPI) in patients undergoing laparoscopic colorectal cancer surgery, and analyze the perioperative management strategy of pulmonary infection combined with the concept of enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS). Methods Total of 687 patients who underwent laparoscopic colorectal cancer surgery in the colorectal cancer professional treatment group of Gastrointestinal Surgery Center of West China Hospital of Sichuan University from January 2017 to May 2019 were retrospectively included. According to the occurrence of PPI, all the included cases were divided into infection group (n=97) and non-infection group (n=590). The related factors and prevention strategies of PPI were analyzed. Results The rate of PPI among patients underwent laparoscopic resection in our study was 14.1% (97/687). Compared with the non-infection group, the proportions of patients with preoperative complications other than cardiopulmonary, receiving preoperative neoadjuvant radiotherapy and/or chemotherapy, preoperative Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) score 1–2, preoperative Nutrition Risk Screening 2002 (NRS2002) score 1–3, tumor located in the left colon and rectum, combined organ resection, operative time >3 h and postoperative TNM stage Ⅱ patients in the infection group were higher (P<0.05). However, the proportions of patients who used intraoperative lung protective ventilation strategy and incision infiltration anesthesia in the infection group were lower than those in the non-infection group (P<0.05). In the infection group, the proportions of patients who received regular sputum excretion, atomization therapy, balloon blowing/breathing training, stomatology nursing after operation and postoperative analgesia were all significantly lower than those of the non-infection group (P<0.05), whereas the proportions of patients receiving antibiotics and intravenous nutrition after operation were significantly higher than those in the non-infection group (P<0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that low preoperative NRS2002 score, intraoperative protective ventilation strategy, postoperative respiratory training, and postoperative regular sputum excretion were the protective factors of PPI, while preoperative cardiopulmonary complications, preoperative neoadjuvant chemotherapy, tumor located in the left colon and rectum, late TNM staging and postoperative antibiotics were risk factors for pulmonary infection.Conclusions Preoperative cardiopulmonary complications, preoperative neoadjuvant chemotherapy, tumor location in the left colon and rectum, late TNM staging and postoperative antibiotics are risk factors for pulmonary infection in patients with laparoscopic colorectal cancer. Preoperative good nutritional status, intraoperative protective ventilation strategy, postoperative respiratory training and regular sputum excretion may reduce the incidence of PPI to a certain extent.

Objective To provide references to control the cost of stroke inpatients by analysing pertinent factors of stroke inpatients. Methods According to the models of Anderson and Newnan, univariable analysis and multivariable statistical analysis were applied to a number of factors including predisposing factors, enabling factors, and needs factors in 1 969 stroke inpatients of two third level first-class hospitals in Chongqing. Results Among the 1 969 stroke inpatients, 64% had a history of hypertension, and 50% exhibited hypertension during their stay in hospital. Expenditure on medication consumed the highest costs (51%). Length of stay was the most important factor affecting inpatient expense, additional factors were number of surgical operation, nurse type, Rankin score, number of complications etc. Conclusions Complex measures focusing on hypertension to prevent and control of stroke are recommended. Reducing unnecessary stay in hospital and appropriate prescribing are important methods to reduce cost of stroke inpatients.
Objective To explore the correlative factors affecting the compl ications resulting from cement leakage after percutaneous kyphoplasty (PKP) in the treatment of osteoporotic vertebral body compression fractures (OVCF). Methods From February 2005 to October 2008, 71 patients with OVCF were treated by PKP and were retrospectively analyzed. There were 16 males and 55 females, and the average age was 71.5 years (range, 52-91 years). The average duration of disease was 5.7 months (range, 1-11 months). A total of 171 vertebra were involved in fracture including 19 cases of single vertebral fractures, 21 cases of double vertebral fractures, 20 cases of three vertebral fractures, and 11 cases of more than three vertebral fractures. All the treated vertebra were divided into acute (86 vertebra) or subacute (85 vertebra) state based on changes in MRI signal intensity. There was no radiculopathy or myelopathy. The average injected cement volumewas 4.6 mL (range, 1.5-6.5 mL). The treatment efficacy was assessed by observing the change in anterior and middle vertebral column height, Cobb angle, visual analogue scale (VAS) and Oswestry functional score at preoperation, 3 days after operation and last follow-up. The patients were divided into cement leakage group and no cement leakage group. All the compl ications were recorded, and then the correlative factors affecting the compl ications were analyzed. Results All the cases had rapid and significant improvement in back pain following PKP. All patients were followed up for 14 months (range, 7-18 months). There was no cement extravasation resulting in radiculopathy or myelopathy. Four patients (5.63%) had lung-related compl ications. During the follow-up, 9 recurrence vertebral fractures were observed in 6 patients (8.45%). The anterior and middle vertebral column height, Cobb angle, VAS and Oswestry score were significantly improved when compared with preoperation (P lt; 0.05). Cement leakage occurred in 17 (9.94%) vertebral bodies; of 17 cases, the cement leaked into the paravertebral space in 7 cases, intervertebral space in 6 cases, channel of needl ing insertion in 3 cases, and spinal canal in 1 case. Univariate analysis showed statistically significant differences (P lt; 0.05) in preoperative anterior and middle vertebral column height, injected cement volume and vertebral body wall incompetence between the cement leakage group and no cement leakage group. There were no significant differences (P gt; 0.05) in preoperative Cobb angle, freshness of vertebral fracture, location of operative vertebrae and operative approach between the two groups. Multiple logistic regression analysis showed that the injected cement volume [odds ratio (OR)=3.105, 95% confidence interval (CI)=1.674-5.759, P lt; 0.01] and vertebral body wall incompetence (OR=11.960, 95%CI=3.512-40.729, P lt; 0.01) were the predominant variable associated with the compl ications resulted fromcement leakage. Conclusion The injected cement volume and vertebral body wall incompetence were the factors affecting the compl ications. The improvement of surgical technique is the capital factor that may reduce the compl ications in the PKP.
Objective To explore the factors associated with clinic follow-up of old patients with colorectal cancer and provide more evidence to improve the efficiency and quality of clinic follow-up after sugery. Methods The data of 253 patients who were underwent sugery because of old colorectal cancer in our hospital from January 2009 to May 2010 were reviewed. Data about the rate and times of clinic follow-up within 6 months after operation were collected via Hospital Information Systerm, then the follow-up rate was calculated, and to analyse the possible factors associated with follow-up times and rate. Results The total follow-up rate was 84.2%（213/253）, and the total times of follow-up was between 0 to 24 times per one, （4.08±0.03）times on average. On the times of follow-up, patients inside the city was higher than that outside, patients with medical or postoperative complications were higher than those without, and patients with a stoma was lower than that without, and the differences were statistically significant （P＜0.05）.While on the follow-up rate, patients underwent a radical sugery or with a stoma were lower than those not or without, and the differences were statistically significant （P＜0.05）. Conclusions The clinic follow-up of old colorectal cancer patients is not satisfactory, and the possible factors associated with follow-up times or rate are the distance between residence and hospital, have medical complications or not, have postoperative complications or not, radical sugery or not, and with a stoma or without.
