Abstract The purpose of this study was to compare the performance logistic regression, artificial neural networks (ANNs) and decision tree models for predicting diabetes or prediabetes using common risk factors. Participants came from two communities in Guangzhou, China; 735 patients confirmed have 752 normal controls were recruited. A standard questionnaire administered obtain information on demographic characteristics, family history, anthropometric measurements lifestyle Then we developed...
Abstract Background Healthcare workers are often exposed to stressful working conditions at work which affect their quality of life. The study investigated the relationship between psychosocial risk factors, stress, burnout, and life among primary healthcare in general medical practice Qingyuan Chaozhou cities Guangdong province.

In most countries, the demand for integrated care people with chronic diseases is increasing as population ages. This requires a fundamental shift of health-care systems towards more service delivery models. To achieve this in China, World Health Organization, Bank and Chinese government proposed tiered system accordance people-centred model. The approach was pioneered Luohu district Shenzhen city from 2015 to 2017 template practice. September 2017, China's health ministry introduced entire...

The age-standardised incidence rate (ASIR), mortality (ASMR), disability-adjusted life (ASDR), estimated annual percentage change (EAPC) were used assess disease BCY. Bayesian...
Depression is regarded as a major public health concern in our society. While living arrangements structural factor of social support may contribute to older adults' depression. Our study aims investigate the association between and depressive symptoms among adults whole China, explore whether such influences differ by genders.Data were obtained from 2015 China Health Retirement Longitudinal Study.

<h3>Importance</h3> Despite advances in the treatment of ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), little is known about how this evolving knowledge applied current clinical practice China. <h3>Objective</h3> To evaluate hospital performance and temporal trends management STEMI. <h3>Design, Setting, Participants</h3> This study used data from Improving Care for Cardiovascular Disease China–Acute Coronary Syndrome Project, a nationwide quality improvement registry, collaboration...
Volatile anesthetics are currently believed to cause unconsciousness by acting on one or more molecular targets including neural ion channels, receptors, mitochondria, synaptic proteins, and cytoskeletal proteins. Anesthetic gases isoflurane bind microtubules (MTs) dampen their quantum optical effects, potentially contributing causing unconsciousness. This possibility is supported the finding that taxane chemotherapy consisting of MT-stabilizing drugs reduces effectiveness anesthesia during...
Abstract Background Few studies have evaluated health impacts, especially biomarker changes, following implementation of a new environmental policy. This study examined changes in water fluoride, urinary fluoride (UF), and bone metabolism indicators children after supplying low public endemic fluorosis areas Southern China. We also assessed the relationship between UF serum osteocalcin (BGP), calcitonin (CT), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), mineral density to identify most sensitive related...
Introduction: Emerging from the epidemiological transition and accelerated aging process, China's fragmentated healthcare systems struggle to meet demands of population. On Sept 1st 2017, National Health Family Planning Commission encouraged all cities learn Luohu model integration adopted in as an approach meeting these challenges. In this paper, we study analyze core mechanisms, conduct preliminary evaluations integrated policy development model. Policy development: The hospital group was...

This study aimed to examine the impact of PM2.5 and its constituents on small for gestational age (SGA). We collected records 8082 twin pairs their mothers from 21 hospitals across China. Concentrations were Tracking Air Pollution dataset. Generalized linear models utilized in this observational explore relationship between SGA PM2.5. An increase by one interquartile range during pregnancy was linked a 17 % increased risk (OR = 1.17, 95 CI: 1.05-1.31), with population attributable fraction...
Background: Both distance to the hospital and reputation influence patient choice of hospital; but combined effect these factors how they relate hospitalization outcomes has yet be determined. The purpose this study was assess on in patients with stroke. Methods: This retrospective observational utilized data from 69,107 stroke hospitalized southern Chinese megacity between 2019 2021. A generalized linear model used association reputation, hospital, costs, length stay. Multivariate logistic...
China has stepped into an era of aging society, where the impending considerable economic burden attributed to high prevalence dementia in elderly appears be one most important health and social issues deal with for country.

Abstract Background Cost-effectiveness is a pivotal consideration for clinical decision making of high-tech cancer treatment in developing countries. Intensity-modulated proton radiation therapy (IMPT, the advanced form beam therapy) has been found to improve prognosis patients with paranasal sinus and nasal cavity cancers compared intensity-modulated photon-radiation (IMRT). However, cost-effectiveness IMPT not yet fully evaluated. This study aimed at evaluating versus IMRT Chinese...
