ObjectiveTo analyze the association between the cultural level and hospitalization management process and length of hospitalization of the colorectal patients served by West China Hospital of Sichuan University as a regional center in the current version of the Database from Colorectal Cancer (DACCA). MethodAccording to the established screening criteria, eligible colorectal cancer patients were collected from the updated version of DACCA on June 29, 2022. The analyzed data items included gender, age, BMI, blood type, marriage, waiting time before admission, preoperative hospitalization time, postoperative hospitalization time, total hospitalization time, and management process, and patients were divided into illiterate group, primary education group, medium education group, and higher education group according to their educational level, then compared the hospitalization management process and length of hospitalization of each group. ResultsA total of 4 765 eligible data were screened, with secondary education being the most prevalent (2 792, 58.6%), followed by primary (1 337, 28.1%) and higher education (417, 8.7%), and illiteracy being the least prevalent (219, 4.6%). In the classification of management processes, “regular” account for the majority (4 219, 88.5%), followed by “enhanced”(274, 5.8%), “individual” was third (231, 4.8%), and “rapid” was the least (41, 0.9%). There was no statistically significant difference in the comparison of waiting time before admission, preoperative hospitalisation time and postoperative hospitalisation time among patients with different literacy levels (P=0.371, P=0.095, P=0.352), but there was a statistically significant difference in total hospitalisation time (P=0.021), with a significant difference in total hospitalisation length between illiterate patients and patients with medium education (P=0.041). There was no statistically significant difference in the comparison of inpatient management processes of patients in different literacy groups (χ2=15.2, P=0.085). ConclusionsAnalysis of the DACCA data revealed a statistically significant difference in total hospitalisation time between patients with illiteracy and those with medium education. However, the choice of hospitalisation management process was similar for patients with different literacy levels, which needs to be further analysed for the reasons.
ObjectiveTo evaluate the evidence of the experience with medical sewage treatment procedures in medical institutions in China. MethodsDatabases including CNKI, WanFang Data, PubMed, Web of Science, and EBSCO were electronically searched to collect studies on the medical sewage treatment process, flow, and specifications in medical institutions in China. We used the quality evaluation system to classify and grade the experiences based on the principles and methods of evidence-based science and performed a descriptive analysis. ResultsAfter the SARS pandemic in 2003, China systematically established and standardized the technical criteria of medical sewage treatment and discharge. Moreover, a prevention system for the epidemic using medical sewage was constructed, which guaranteed that the quality of medical sewage treatment and discharge would meet the criteria and protect the citizens, and the technical specifications of medical sewage treatment would progress and increase strictly. At present, medical sewage treatment in medical institutions in China was based on mechanical and biological methods, and disinfection was mainly performed using chlorine and its compounds, ozone, and ultraviolet light. ConclusionThe COVID-19 pandemic requires a higher quality of medical sewage treatment and discharge criteria for medical institutions in China. To meet these criteria, all medical institutions in China should check, replace, and update their old facilities; strengthen personnel training and effectively ensure the quality of medical sewage treatment.
Objective To discuss the clinical outcome of fast-track surgery for low/super-low rectal cancer. Methods Between October 2007 and December 2008, 120 patients underwent low/super-low rectal cancer resection without formation of stoma in the West China Hospital were analyzed retrospectively. Postoperative early rehabilitations were compared between fast-track group and traditional group. Results In early rehabilitations, time of first passing flatus, ambulation, oral intake, and pulling out urinary catheter and the hospital stay in fast-track group were significantly earlier than those in traditional group （Plt;0.05）, while there was no significant difference in time of using nasogastric tubes or drains （Pgt;0.05）. There was also no significant difference in postoperative morbidity of complications between the 2 groups （Pgt;0.05）. Conclusion Fast-track surgery for low/super-low rectal cancer is safe and can accelerate recovery with decreased length of hospital stay.
