Impact of the National Nursing Development Plan on nursing human resources in China: An interrupted time series analysis for 1978-2021.

Background: Shortages of nurses and unequal distribution of nursing staff have been huge challenges for global health services.

Objectives: The aim of our study was to evaluate the impact of the National Nursing Development Plan on nursing human resources in China.

Methods: An interrupted time series design was used in this study.

APACHE scoring system and pressure injury risk for intensive care patients: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

The present study was designed to determine the association between Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation (APACHE) scale and elevated pressure injure (PI) risk in intensive care units (ICU) and also evaluate the predictive value of APACHE score in PI patients. Comprehensive strategies were used to search studies from PubMed, Web of Science, and Ovid Embase electronic databases for observational studies that provided data about APACHE scores related to PI in ICU. Eligible studies were selected based on inclusion and exclusion criteria.

The Braden Scale for Predicting the Outcome and Prognosis of Pressure Injuries in Older Inpatients: A Multicenter, Retrospective Cohort Study.

Introduction: The Braden scale is used to assess the risk of patients with pressure injuries (PIs), but there are limitations to the prediction of PI healing. There is a lack of tools for evaluating PI healing and outcome in clinical practice.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to examine the ability of the Braden scale to predict the outcome and prognosis of PIs in older patients.

Predicting the Development of Surgery-Related Pressure Injury Using a Machine Learning Algorithm Model.

Background: Surgery-related pressure injury (SRPI) is a serious problem in patients who undergo cardiovascular surgery. Identifying patients at a high risk of SRPI is important for clinicians to recognize and prevent it expeditiously. Machine learning (ML) has been widely used in the field of healthcare and is well suited to predictive analysis.

Incidence of Pressure Injury in Individuals With Spinal Cord Injury: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis.

Purpose: The purpose of this systematic review and quantitative analysis of pooled data was to assess the global incidence of pressure injury (PI), across time frames and countries, in individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI).

Design: Systematic review and meta-analysis.

Search Strategy: PubMed, Web of Science, and EMBASE databases were systematically searched for studies published from database inception to January 2019, with only English language studies that reported the incidence of PIs in individuals with SCI were included.

The relationship between pressure injury complication and mortality risk of older patients in follow-up: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Pressure injuries (PIs) have now become a common complication of the elderly patients. Some studies have observed that pressure injuries may increase mortality, but this area of evidence has not been evaluated and summarised. The aim of this study was to compare the mortality of patients with pressure injuries and those without pressure injuries.

Vaginal delivery and HBV mother to child transmission risk after immunoprophylaxis: A systematic review and a meta-analysis.

Objective: HBV mother to child transmission (MTCT) can be prevented by passive and active immunoprophylaxis. In this study, we aim to assess whether vaginal delivery is safe for HBV MTCT after immunoprophylaxis.

Material And Methods: PubMed and Web of Science were systematically searched.

Prevalence of pressure injury among Chinese community-dwelling older people and its risk factors: A national survey based on Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey.

Aim: To investigate the distribution of pressure injuries among older adults in China and to identify the associated risk factors.

Design: Cross-sectional study.

Methods: The identified subjects were collected from 2012 wave of a national Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey.

Use of a Hydrocolloid Dressing in the Prevention of Device-related Pressure Ulcers During Noninvasive Ventilation: A Meta-analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials.

Unlabelled: Use of a hydrocolloid dressing (HCD) is generally recommended to help prevent pressure ulcers (PUs) in high-risk patients, including ulcers caused by noninvasive ventilation (NIV).

Purpose: The study was conducted to compare the effect of preventive use of HCD to other methods in the rate of facial PUs caused by NIV.

Methods: PubMed, Web of Science, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, and Wanfang Data were searched from date of index inception to August 2018 without language restrictions to identify randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that compared HCD use to other NIV-related PU prevention measures.

A Bibliometric Analysis of Global Research Production Pertaining to Diabetic Foot Ulcers in the Past Ten Years.

The aim of this study was to demonstrate the state of diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) research in the past 10 years by bibliometric analysis, especially by performing document co-citation and co-word visualization analysis to reveal the research hotspots, frontiers, and core literature. The literature in connection with DFUs from 2007 to 2018 was retrieved from the Web of Science Core Collection database (WoSCC). We used the WoSCC and CiteSpace to analyze publication outcomes, journals, research direction, research hotspots, and frontiers.

Patient-controlled Analgesia and Postoperative Pressure Ulcer: A Meta-analysis of Observational Studies.

Background: Patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) has become a common practice after surgery, but research has shown that the use of PCA is also a significant risk factor for pressure ulcers. However, no meta-analysis or conclusive review has investigated whether patients using PCA have a significantly higher prevalence of pressure ulcers.

Objective: This study explores the association between the use of postoperative PCA and the prevalence of pressure ulcers.

Prenatal smoking and postpartum depression: a meta-analysis.

Postpartum depression (PPD) is a common emotional distress among many women in diversified cultures. The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between prenatal smoking and PPD. We systematically searched PubMed, ISI Web of Science, EMBASE, Elsevier ScienceDirect, OVID and Springer databases up to 15 March 2017.

Maternal viral load and hepatitis B virus mother-to-child transmission risk: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Aim: The aim of this study was to assess the relationship between maternal viral load and mother-to-child transmission (MTCT) risk in hepatitis B envelope antigen (HBeAg)-positive mothers.

Methods: PubMed and Web of Science were systematically searched. We compared MTCT incidence between maternal hepatitis B virus (HBV)-DNA-positive and HBV-DNA-negative groups.

Prevention strategy for father-to-child transmission of hepatitis B virus: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Objective: Father-to-child transmission (FTCT) occurs in infants born to hepatitis B virus (HBV) infected father. In this study, we aim to summarize the prevention strategy for FTCT of HBV by systematic review and meta-analysis.

Methods: PubMed and China Knowledge Resource Integrated Database were systematically searched.
