    Objective

    To analyze the multidirectional prognosis and predictive factors of the motoric cognitive risk syndrome in the elderly in China.

    Methods

    The data were sourced from the China health and retirement longitudinal study(CHARLS) from 2011 to 2015.A total of 430 elderly people with the motoric cognitive risk syndrome were selected.Demographic,lifestyle,physical condition,and social psychological variables were collected.Unordered multinomial Logistic regression analysis was used to identify the predictive factors for the outcomes of the motoric cognitive risk syndrome.

    Results

    During the 4-year follow-up period of the 430 elderly people with the motoric cognitive risk syndrome,the incidence rates of stable type,transient reverse type,progressive type-physical disability,and progressive type-dementia were 19.07%,70.00%,8.37%,and 2.56%,respectively.The probability of the elderly with motoric cognitive risk syndrome experiencing reversal towards non-motoric cognitive risk syndrome decreased when their grip strength reduced.Alcohol consumption behavior was significantly associated with the risk of progression from motoric cognitive risk syndrome to dementia in the elderly.

    Conclusions

    The outcomes of the motoric cognitive risk syndrome in the elderly in China showed multidirectionality and heterogeneity.It is recommended to strengthen the assessment of grip strength and alcohol intervention for the elderly with the motoric cognitive risk syndrome,so as to reduce the risk of adverse outcomes.

    Objective

    To explore the dynamic trajectory of estimated pulse wave velocity in middle-aged and elderly people and its relationship with cardiovascular diseases.

    Methods

    Based on the population cohort data from the China health and retirement longitudinal study(CHARLS),general information and laboratory indicators of the population were collected. The group-based trajectory model (GBTM) was used to construct the heterogeneous trajectories of the estimated pulse wave velocity dynamics in the community among the elderly. Logistic regression analysis was applied to explore the relationship between the estimated pulse wave velocity dynamic trajectory and cardiovascular diseases.

    Results

    A total of 5 933 participants were included in the analysis, among whom 1 112 cases (18.7%) developed cardiovascular diseases.The GBTM analysis revealed four estimated trajectories of pulse wave velocity changes:the low-level stable group(30.0%),the medium-level ascending group(39.6%),the ascending and stable group(23.0%),and the high-level ascending group(7.4%).Logistic regression analysis showed that, after adjusting for confounding factors, compared with the low-level stable group,the risk of cardiovascular diseases significantly increased in the medium-level ascending group, the ascending and stable group,and the high-level ascending group.

    Conclusions

    The estimated pulse wave velocity trajectories of the elderly in the community showed population heterogeneity.The higher estimated pulse wave velocity trajectories was correlated with the occurrence of cardiovascular diseases.It is suggested that medical staff should pay attention to the changes in the estimated pulse wave velocity of the elderly and formulate corresponding intervention strategies based on different trajectories.

    Objective

    To develop the pulmonary rehabilitation training program for adolescent patients with severe pectus excavatum during the perioperative period,and to provide a reference for promoting the recovery of children undergoing pectus excavatum surgery.

    Methods

    Based on the concept of pulmonary rehabilitation,through literature analysis and semi-structured interviews,a questionnaire for the pulmonary rehabilitation training program for adolescent patients with severe pectus excavatum during the perioperative period was constructed.The final program was determined using the Delphi expert questionnaire method.

    Results

    Two rounds of expert questionnaires were conducted.The effective recovery rate of the questionnaire was 94.44% and 100.00% respectively.The expert questionnaire authority coefficient was 0.859.The importance of each item was 3.76-4.88 and 4.06-4.88 respectively.The coefficients of variation were 0.068-0.238 and 0.070-0.183 respectively.The Kendall coefficients were 0.484 and 0.328(P<0.001).The final perioperative pulmonary rehabilitation training program for adolescents with severe pectus excavatum included 8 primary items,25 secondary items,and 29 tertiary items.

    Conclusions

    The constructed pulmonary rehabilitation training program for adolescent patients with severe pectus excavatum during the perioperative period was scientifically and operationally sound.It could provide reference for guiding the recovery of children during the perioperative period and promote their rapid recovery after surgery.

    Objective

    To investigate the changing trajectory of oral frailty in elderly stroke patients and its associated influencing factors, and to provide reference for targeted clinical interventions.

    Methods

    A convenience sample of 300 elderly stroke patients admitted to the neurology department of a tertiary grade A hospital in Shandong province were enrolled in this study.Data were collected using a general information questionnaire and standardized assessment tools,including the Oral Frailty Index-8(OFI-8),the Oral Health Assessment Tool(OHAT),the Geriatric Self-Efficacy in Oral Health Scale(GSEOH),and the Perceived Social Support Scale(PSSS).Oral frailty levels were evaluated based on these instruments.

    Results

    The changing trajectory of oral frailty in elderly stroke patients was categorized into two distinct patterns:a high-level slow increase group(49.7%) and a low-level slow increase group(50.3%).Logistic regression analysis revealed that age,smoking history,prior cerebral infarction,number of remaining teeth,subjective chewing difficulty,oral health status,and perceived social support were significant predictors of oral frailty(all P<0.05).The decision tree model identified four key clinical variables:wearing dentures,oral health status,subjective masticatory difficulty,and prior cerebral infarction.The areas under the receiver operating characteristic curves for the decision tree and Logistic regression models were 0.939 and 0.943,respectively,indicating strong predictive performance.

    Conclusions

    Oral frailty in elderly stroke patients generally progresses gradually over time,with notable heterogeneity among subgroups.Both the decision tree and logistic regression models demonstrate considerable predictive accuracy.Healthcare professionals can develop intervention plans based on these two models to achieve early identification of oral frailty and precise care.
