    Objective To analyze the relevant factors affecting the efficacy of patients with sudden sensorineural hearing loss accompanied by hypertension, and to provide reference basis for the prevention and treatment of sudden sensorineural hearing loss.Methods Clinical data of patients with sudden sensorineural hearing loss and hypertension admitted to a certain hospital in Jiaxing from 2019 to 2022 were collected to analyze the relationship between variables and treatment efficacy of patients with the logistic regression model.Results The majority of 165 cases with sudden deafness accompanied by hypertension were female, with the majority engaged in manual labor occupations. The highest incidence of the condition occurred in summer. The results of the univariate analysis indicate that the efficacy of treatment for patients is correlated with age, accompanying tinnitus, classification of sudden deafness, platelet count, and treatment method (P<0.05). The multivariate logistic regression model analysis shows that older age (OR=1.073, 95%CI: 1.023-1.125), high serum potassium (OR=9.693, 95%CI: 5.829-15.633), high thyroidstimulating hormone (OR=5.023, 95% CI: 1.833-13.764) are independent risk factors for ineffective treatment, while high platelet count (OR=0.872, 95%CI: 0.652-0.978) and comprehensive treatment with hyperbaric oxygen (OR=0.137, 95%CI: 0.056-0.339) are protective factors for effective treatment.Conclusion Sudden sensorineural hearing loss accompanied by hypertension has a higher rate of adverse prognosis, and various factors collectively influence the treatment outcome of patients with sudden sensorineural hearing loss accompanied by hypertension.

    Objective To understand the mode of elderly care and its influencing factors in demonstration cities of the combination of medical care and elderly care in Shandong Province, and to provide countermeasures and suggestions for improving the quality of elderly care.Methods A multistage stratified random sampling method was used to conduct an on-site questionnaire survey of 1 752 elderly people in Jinan and Yantai, the leading demonstration cities for the integration of medical care and elderly care in Shandong Province. The data were processed by using descriptive statistical analysis, chi-square test, logistic regression and multiple response analysis.Results Home care is the most popular mode to support the elderly (85.0%), followed by community care (9.5%), and institutional care (5.5%). The single factor results showed that age, place of residence, number of children, education level and other 8 factors were the influencing factors of elderly care mode (P<0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that self-care ability is an influencing factor in the way of home care (P<0.05). Health status, self-care ability and education level are the influencing factors of community care (P<0.05). Age and self-care ability are the influencing factors of institutional care (P<0.05).Conclusion Home care is still the main mode for the elderly. Different modes of elderly care are affected by multiple factors. Different measures need to be taken to meet the needs of the elderly according to different modes of elderly care.

    Objective To explore the current situation and influence factors for execution ability of the middle-level managers in public hospitals based on mixed research method.Methods The current situation of middle-level cadres′ ability to grasp and implement in public hospitals was understood through interviews and questionnaires, and the factors influencing the ability of middle-level cadres to grasp and implement were comprehensively analyzed by factor analysis and Bayesian ordered logistic regression.Results Twenty-six
    interviewees and 215 respondents were included this study. It was considered that political ability was the most important in 11 (42.31%) of 26 interviewees, and execution ability was the most important in 8 (30.77%) of 26 interviewees. The factor analysis showed that the three dimensions of the execution ability were basic ability, synthetic ability, development ability. The total scores were over 4.5 in avoiding the implementation, delaying the implementation, passivating the implementation, and being bad at implementation. The Bayesian  ordered  logistic regression analysis showed that the two advantage influence factors on the execution ability were the individual comprehensive quality (OR=1.46, 95%CI: 1.01-2.08) and hospital incentive assessment (OR=2.36, 95%CI: 1.30-4.14).Conclusion There were some problems such as avoiding the implementation, delaying the implementation, passivating the implementation, and being bad at implementation in middle-level managers of public hospitals. The individual comprehensive quality and hospital incentive assessment may improve the execution ability.

    Objective To study the disease diagnosis related groups and hospitalization expense standard of cataract patients, and to provide reference for medical institutions to formulate hospitalization expense groups and improve the system.Methods The data of the first page of medical records of cataract patients from January 1 to December 31, 2021 were selected from a tertiary specialized hospital in Shanghai. The influencing factors of hospitalization expenses were analyzed by single factor analysis and multiple linear regression, and the classification node variables were screened out. The decision tree model was used to construct the grouping scheme and cost standard of cataract hospitalization costs.Results Totally 6 321 cataract inpatients were included in this study. The results of single factor analysis showed that the hospitalization expenses of patients with different age, hospitalization days, hospitalization times, surgical condition, and treatment or main surgical methods were statistically significant (P<0.05). The results of multiple linear regression analysis showed that age, hospitalization days, hospitalization times, and treatment or main surgical methods were the main factors affecting hospitalization expenses (F=385.47,P<0.01,R2=0.328). The decision tree model formed a total of 6 groups and corresponding cost standards (risk value of the model was 0.03, CV of each group was 0.03-0.13, RIV=0.32).Conclusion It is reasonable to group the hospitalization expenses of cataract cases through the decision tree model. It is recommended that medical institutions refine the cost control of cataract diseases based on case grouping, further reasonably control medical operating costs, and adjust and optimize disease diagnosis related grouping by the medical insurance management department.
