    Objective To explore the current status of discrimination perception and its influencing factors among patients with chronic hepatitis B virus infection, and to provide a theoretical basis for clinical medical workers to formulate intervention measures. Methods A convenience sampling method was used to select 252 people with chronic hepatitis B virus infection in a certain infectious disease hospital in a city as the research objects. The General Conditions Questionnaire, the Discrimination in Chronic Hepatitis B Virus Infection Scale and the Social Support Rating Scale were used for the survey. Results The total score of discrimination perception among people with chronic hepatitis B virus infection was 67.46±18.65. Gender (b=5.802), education level (b=2.877), self-evaluation of health status (b=-2.918), and social support (b=-0.756) were influencing factors on the discrimination perception among people with chronic hepatitis B virus infection (P<0.05). Conclusion The overall discrimination perception of people with chronic hepatitis B virus infection was at a moderate level. Clinical medical staff should focus on patients who are women, with high education level, with low health self-ratings, and low social support, and strengthen health education and social support of patients to improve the discrimination perceived by patients with chronic hepatitis B virus.

    Objective To evaluate the implementation status of standardized evaluation of prevention and control process for birth defect in Hunan Province, and to provide basis for promoting the standardization of prevention and control of birth defect. Methods A self-developed standardized evaluation questionnaire for the prevention and treatment of birth defects was used to evaluate the standardization of the prevention and control process of birth defects in 123 districts/counties of 14 cities /prefectures in Hunan Province in 2019. The standardization of prevention and control process for birth defect includes 9 second-level indicators and 49 third-level indicators. The proportion was used to reflect the development of each index, and the standardized comprehensive score of prevention and control process for birth defect was calculated to reflect the degree of standardization of prevention and control process for birth defect in Hunan Province. Results The median score of standardized comprehensive evaluation of prevention process for birth defect in 123 districts and counties of Hunan province was 89.1 (IQR=6.7), and the scores of 7.3% of districts and counties were below 80. And 85.7% of the projects related to the prevention and control of birth defects in 123 districts and counties, were carried out at least 90%, and the free pre-marital medical examination services, the establishment of health management files, free pre-pregnancy healthy birth examination services and prenatal screening services reached 100%. The median coverage ratio of prevention and treatment measures was 95%, accounting for 70.97% (22/31), among which, the proportion of healthy birth consultation among key groups, and the pregnancy termination rate of pregnant women with unfavorable fertility and high risk varied greatly between counties (IQR=72.8%, 97.6%). There were also differences in the implementation of different indicators, and only 4.9% of people of childbearing age and infants in iodine-deficient areas were given scientific iodine supplements. Conclusion At present, the prevention and control process of birth defects in Hunan province is relatively standardized, but there are still some differences in the development process of different districts and counties and different prevention and control measures. In the future, targeted measures should be taken for weak links and regions to promote the standardization of the prevention and control process of birth defects in Hunan Province.

    Objective To analyze the mortality characteristics and trends of malignant tumors in Chinese urban residents from 2015 to 2019, and to provide evidence for the prevention and treatment of malignant tumors. Methods SPSS25.0 software was used to analyze the death data of urban residents with malignant tumors from 2015 to 2019 in China Health and Family Planning Statistical Yearbook and China Cause of Death Surveillance Data Set, and the number of deaths, death rate, order of death causes were selected as the characteristic indicators of death. Results From 2015 to 2019, the average annual mortality rate of malignant tumors was 162.36/100 000, and the mortality rate of males was higher than that of females. The top five leading causes of death were lung cancer, liver cancer, stomach cancer, colorectal cancer and esophageal cancer. The mortality rate of colorectal cancer was on the rise, while the mortality rate of the other four malignant tumors was on the decline. Conclusion In recent five years, the mortality rate of malignant tumors in urban residents in China has not changed much. Lung cancer and digestive system malignant tumors are still the main diseases that endanger the life and health of residents. Early screening of malignant tumors should be strengthened to effectively prevent and control the harm of malignant tumors to human health.

    Objective To analyze the composition of hospitalization expenses, explore the related influencing factors and provide policy suggestions. Methods Inpatient data of medical expenses in a tertiary hospital in Yangzhou City, Jiangsu Province from 2016 to 2019 were used, and Stata 16 software was used to analyze the composition of inpatient medical expenses. On the basis of single factor analysis, a quantile regression model of inpatient medical expenses was constructed. Results Mean hospitalization cost of serious illness was 34 860 yuan, and the proportion of drug cost decreased by 8.94% over four years. Univariate analysis showed that the influencing factors of hospitalization expenses included age (χ2=63.467, P<0.001), marital status (Z=-4.305, P<0.001), source of patients (Z=-10.555, P<0.001), identity (Z=-4.207, P<0.001), way of payment (Z=-14.287, P<0.001), hospitalization days (χ2=1 930.540, P<0.001), operation (Z=-17.149,P<0.001), curative effects (χ2=49.104,P<0.001) and hospitalization times (χ2=111.937, P<0.001). The results of quantile regression model showed that way of payment, hospitalization expenses, operation, and hospitalized times had an impact on different quantile points of hospitalization expenses. Conclusion Compared with the traditional regression model, quantile regression model is more robust. Increasing the coverage of medical insurance, and carrying out health education can not only promote the utilization rate of medical insurance, but also reduce the medical expenses.

    Objective To explore the DRGs grouping and hospitalization cost standard for patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and to provide support for relevant hospital managers to formulate targeted control measures and improve the system.Methods The first page data of COPD patients′ medical records from a tertiary hospital from 2018 to 2020 were selected. Multiple linear regression, quantile regression and decision tree model were used for case combination analysis.Results Totally 1 929 patients with COPD were included in this study. The results of multiple linear regression model and quantile regression model showed that the hospitalization days, age, payment method, source of patients and complications/comorbidities were the main factors influencing the hospitalization cost of patients with COPD (P<0.05). Taking hospitalization days as the influence variable, and age, complications/comorbidities, source of patients and payment method as 4 classification nodes into decision tree model, 5 DRGs combinations were formed with the corresponding standard of hospital expenses and the weight of disease types. The standard hospitalization expenses of each group were 17 814.40 yuan, 12 138.80 yuan, 10 402.07 yuan, 10 144.50 yuan and 7 954.49 yuan, and the disease weight coefficients were 1.36, 0.93, 0.79, 0.77 and 0.61 respectively.Conclusion It is beneficial to control the inpatient cost of this disease, reduce the economic burden of patients, and provide the basis for the reform of medical expense payment mode by establishing the standard of inpatient cost and the weight of disease.

    DRGs payment mode has gradually become the main payment mode of China′s medical and health system reform and medical insurance system reform, and also plays a guiding role in hospital performance evaluation. Referring to a DRGs data platform, this paper calculates the simulation data of DRGs grouping before and after correcting the coding errors of main diagnosis and/or main surgical operation categories found in the coding quality control process of a hospital. Cases related to MDCQ blood, hematopoietic organs, immune diseases and dysfunction group were analyzed to discuss the basis for modifying the diagnosis and surgical operation code, so as to reflect the impact of diagnosis and surgical operation on DRGs enrollment. Medical institutions should be encouraged to attach importance to the data of the first page of medical records, especially to recognize the importance of correct selection of doctors and correct coding of coders in diagnosis and surgery information, and finally improve the rationality of DRGs inclusion by improving the correct coding rate of the first page of medical records.

    Objective  To understand the KAP status of clinical medical staff under DRGs, and to provide reference for the operation efficiency of hospital DRGs.Methods A self-designed KAP questionnaire was used to investigate the clinical staff in a children′s hospital of Hangzhou, and the influencing factors of questionnaire scores were analyzed by t-test, single factor-analysis- of variance and multiple linear regression with the 25th version of SPSS.Results Two hundred and seventy-two people participated in the survey, including 107 doctors, 116 nurses and 49 medical technicians, with a median age of 32 (28,37) years old, and 183 people participated in the DRGs related knowledge training on the first page of medical records with an average total score (11.01±2.24). There were statistically significant differences in all variable groups except gender (P<0.05). The scoring rate of knowledge, attitude and practice were 27.55%, 71.45% and 71.22% respectively. There were significant differences (P<0.05) in knowledge score among different age, educational background, professional level, working years, training times and questionnaire filling time, and the score increased with the increase of variable value. There were statistical differences for raining times and educational background (P<0.05) on the total score in multivariate analysis. It was the primary factor affecting learning that there were too many DRG versions and concepts were difficult to understand, and most people want to learn via online video courses.Conclusion We should carry out targeted multichannel training, improve the scheme of performance distribution, and stimulate the subjective initiative of the personnel, so as to form correct beliefs, carry out positive practice, and promote the promotion and application of DRGs in hospitals.

    Objective To investigate and analyze the current situation of nosocomial infection management in primary medical institutions in a county.Methods Twentysix primary medical institutions (17 public hospitals and 9 private hospitals) were investigated by the questionnaire survey for statistical analysis.Results The organizational system of nosocomial infection management and the allocation of full-time nosocomial infection management and the management of medical waste were constantly improved and standardized. Related systems and measures of nosocomial infection management were partially divorced from reality, and performed incompletely. There was lack of effective targeted training, with incomplete coverage of training and poor results. Hand hygiene, disinfection and sterilization, safe injection, occupational exposure and other measures needed to be further strengthened. The risk awareness and the ability of differential diagnosis and monitoring about nosocomial infection were insufficient, and the relevant work was poorly carried out. Public hospitals were superior to private hospitals only in the aspects of ultraviolet lamp radiation intensity monitoring, heat sentinel and dental settings, but inferior to private hospitals in the aspect of risk assessment (P<0.05).Conclusion Strengthening the administrative supervision, making full use of the county level quality control center of nosocomial infection management, strengthening the methods of training education, enhancing the capacity-buil-ding of nosocomial infection monitoring and risk assessment and intervening measure, intensifying the enforcement of fundamental standard precautions, clearing the responsibilities of relevant departments, and bringing the results of nosocomial infection examination into performance appraisal system, can promote the sustainable development of nosocomial infection management.
