Objective Diagnosis of gastric intestinal metaplasia (GIM) relies on gastroscopy and histopathologic biopsy, but their application in screening for GIM is limited. We aimed to identify serological biomarkers of GIM via screening in Guangdong, China. Methods Cross-sectional field and questionnaire data, demographic information, past medical history, and other relevant data were collected. Blood samples were collected for pepsinogen (PG)I, PGII, gastrin-17, and Helicobacter pylori antibody testing, and gastroscopy and histopathologic biopsy were performed. Single factor and logistic regression analyses were used to evaluate the correlation between these indicators and GIM, and decision tree models were used to determine the cut-off points between indicators. Results Of 443 participants enrolled, 87 (19.6%) were diagnosed with GIM. Single factor analysis showed that pepsin indicators (PGI, PGII, and PGI/PGII ratio) and the factors Mandarin as native language, urban residency, hyperlipidemia, and age were associated with GIM. Logistic regression analysis showed that PGI and age were associated with GIM. Conclusions Age is an important factor for predicting GIM progression; age >60 years increased its risk. Detection of GIM was higher in individuals with PGI levels >127.20 ng/mL, which could be used as a threshold indicating the need to perform gastroscopy and histopathologic biopsy.

ABSTRACT Objective To analyze the risk factors and prognosis related to early post-traumatic epilepsy (EPTE). Methods One hundred and eighty-six patients with traumatic brain injury were enrolled. Their full clinical data were collected. Single factor analysis and logistic regression analysis of risk factors related to EPTE were performed. The prognosis of patients was determined. Results Single factor analysis showed that there were significant differences of age (p = 0.011), epilepsy history (p < 0.001), injury site (p = 0.004), injury type (p < 0.001) and injury degree (p < 0.001) between the EPTE group (40 patients) and non-EPTE group (146 patients). Logistic regression analysis showed that the injury site, injury type and injury degree were the main risk factors for EPTE. The odds ratio values of injury site, injury type and injury degree were 1.977 (1.473–2.679), 2.096 (1.543–2.842) and 2.376 (1.864–3.609), respectively. The logistic regression equation was P = Exp (-1.473 + 0.698 × injury site + 0.717 × injury type + 0.935 × injury degree). The sensitivity and specificity of injury site, injury type and injury degree for predicting EPTE were 79.2% and 80.5%, 78.9% and 85.7% and 84.2% and 81.0%, respectively. The analysis of prognosis showed that the Glasgow Outcome Scale/Activity of Daily Living Scale scores in the EPTE group were significantly lower than those in non-EPTE group (p < 0.05). Conclusions Injury site, injury type and injury degree are the main risk factors for EPTE. The prognosis of patients with traumatic brain injury can be affected by EPTE.

Abstract Background Studies have shown the value of subtypes and distribution of gastric intestinal metaplasia (GIM) for prediction of gastric cancer. We aim to combine GIM subtypes and distribution to form a new scoring system for GIM. Methods This was a cross-sectional study. No GIM, type I, II, and III GIM of gastric antrum and corpus scored 0–3 points respectively. Then the severity of the whole stomach was calculated in two ways: 1. The gastric antrum and corpus scores were added together, with a score ranging from 0 to 6, which named “Subtype Distribution Score of Gastric Intestinal Metaplasia (SDSGIM)”. 2. Direct classification according to a table corresponding to that of OLGIM. We compared the SDSGIM among benign lesions, dysplasia, and cancer and drew receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve to determine the optimal cut-off value. According to the cut-off value and the classification from the table, the predictive ability of these two methods were calculated. Results 227 patients were included. For SDSGIM, benign lesion group was significantly different from dysplasia or cancer group. Area under curve of ROC curve was 0.889 ± 0.023. The optimal cut-off value was 3. The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value, and accuracy of SDSGIM for malignancy were 89.5%, 78.0%, 74.6%, 91.2% and 82.8%. And those for the second classification method were 84.2%, 82.6%, 77.7%, 87.9%, and 83.3% respectively. Conclusions This study firstly combined GIM subtypes with its distribution forming a novel scoring system, which showed high prediction accuracy for malignant lesions.

Abstract Objectives Postoperative complications increase the workload of nursing staff as well as the financial and mental distress suffered by patients. The objective of this study is to identify clinical factors associated with postoperative complications after liver cancer resection surgery. Methods Data from liver cancer resections occurring between January 1st, 2019 to December 31st, 2019 was collected from the Department of Liver Surgery in West China Hospital of Sichuan University. The Kruskal–Wallis test and logistic regression were used to perform single-factor analysis. Stepwise logistic regression was used for multivariate analysis. Models were established using R 4.0.2 software. Results Based on data collected from 593 cases, the single-factor analysis determined that there were statistically significant differences in BMI, incision type, incision length, duration, incision range, and bleeding between cases that experienced complications within 30 days after surgery and those did not. Stepwise logistic regression models based on Kruskal–Wallis test and single-factor logistic regression determined that BMI, incision length, and duration were the primary factors causing complications after liver resection. The adjust OR of overweight patients and patients with obesity (stage 1) compared to low weight patients were 0.12 (95% CI:0.02–0.72) with p = 0.043 and 0.18 (95% CI:0.03–1.00) with p = 0.04, respectively. An increase of 1 cm in incision length increased the relative risk by 13%, while an increase of 10 min in surgical duration increased the relative risk by 15%. Conclusions The risk of postoperative complications after liver resection can be significantly reduced by controlling factors such as bleeding, incision length, and duration of the surgery.

Background Chronic alcohol use is a risk factor for non-cardia gastric adenocarcinoma. However, it is less well understood whether alcohol use is a risk factor for premalignant mucosal changes, namely gastric intestinal metaplasia. We examined the association between various parameters of alcohol use and risk of gastric intestinal metaplasia. Methods We used data from 2084 participants (including 403 with gastric intestinal metaplasia) recruited between February 2008-August 2013 into a cross-sectional study at the Michael E. DeBakey Veterans Affairs Medical Center in Houston, Texas. All participants underwent a study upper endoscopy with systematic gastric mapping biopsies. Cases had intestinal metaplasia on any non-cardia gastric biopsy. Participants self-reported lifetime history of alcohol consumption, along with other lifestyle risk factors, through a study survey. We calculated odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) for categories of average alcohol consumption using multivariable logistic regression, and restricted cubic spline regression to explore the potential shape of a dose-response relationship. Results Compared to lifelong non-drinkers, individuals who consumed on average ≥28 drinks per week had no elevated risk for gastric intestinal metaplasia (adjusted OR, 1.27; 95% CI, 0.74–2.19). Based on a spline regression curve and its 95% CI, there was also no demonstrable association between cumulative lifetime alcohol consumption and risk of gastric intestinal metaplasia. Similarly, we found no association between beverage type (beer, wine, liquor/spirits) and risk for gastric intestinal metaplasia. Conclusions Neither amount of alcohol consumed nor specific beverage type was associated with risk of gastric intestinal metaplasia.

Background and Aims. Gastric cancer is the 5th leading cause of cancer mortality worldwide and the leading infection-associated cancer. Helicobacter pylori is the most common chronic bacterial infection in humans and the major predisposing factor for the development of gastric intestinal metaplasia (GIM), the principal preneoplastic lesion in the gastric carcinogenesis pathway. GIM surveillance is now recommended for individuals among high-risk subgroups by three major gastroenterology societies in Europe, England, and U.S. Our objective was to provide the initial epidemiologic data for GIM among Hispanics in Puerto Rico. Methods. Using a cross-sectional study design, we analyzed an extensive pathology database ( n = 43,993 ) that captured approximately 50% of all endoscopy biopsies taken during 2012-2014 at academic, public, and private sectors in Puerto Rico. Prevalence estimates of GIM, GIM subgroups, and H. pylori status were estimated using logistic regression models. Results. A total of 4,707 GIM cases were identified during the study period for a prevalence rate of 10.7%. H. pylori was detected in 26.9% (95% CI: 25.7-28.2) of the GIM cases. The majority of the pathology reports lacked information regarding the high-risk subtypes (99.6%) and extension (71.2%). Conclusions. The prevalence of GIM among Hispanics living in Puerto Rico may be higher than in U.S. mainland non-Hispanic populations. The prevalence of H. pylori detected in our study population was comparable to the rates reported in the mainland U.S. Standardization of the endoscopy biopsy protocol and pathology reporting is needed to characterize and risk stratify GIM surveillance programs in Puerto Rico.

Antenatal care is a service provided to pregnant women to monitor, support maternal health and detect mothers whether normal or problematic pregnant women. According to the WHO, globally more than 70% of maternal deaths are caused by complications of pregnancy and childbirth such as hemorrhage, hypertension, sepsis, and abortion. Based on data obtained from the profile of the North Sumatra provincial health office in 2017, in the city of Padangsidimpuan in 2017 the coverage of ANC visits reached (76.58%) and had not reached the target in accordance with the 2017 Provincial Health Office strategy plan (95%). This type of research was an observational analytic study with a cross sectional design. The population in this study were independent practice midwives who were in the Padangsidimpuan, the sample in this study amounted to 102 respondents. The technique of collecting data used questionnaires and data analysis used univariate, bivariate and multivariate analysis with logistic regression analysis. Based on bivariate analysis showed that there was a relationship between facilities, knowledge and attitudes of independent midwives with compliance with the standards of antenatal care services with a value of p <0.05. The results of the study with multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the factors associated with the compliance of independent midwives in carrying out antenatal care service standards were attitudes with values (p = 0.026).
