Background: Exposure to a high-altitude environment is a risk factor for cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) probably due to hypercoagulability. The study aims to explore the unique characteristics of CVT patients in high-altitude areas of China by comparing them with those in plain areas.
Methods: We retrospectively included consecutive patients with CVT admitted to Tibet Autonomous Region People's Hospital (altitude 3650 m) and Peking Union Medical College Hospital (altitude 43.
Article Synopsis
- Patients with clinically significant portal hypertension (CSPH) should be treated with non-selective beta-blockers like carvedilol to prevent liver decompensation, especially using liver stiffness (LS) measurements as a less invasive alternative to hepatic venous pressure gradient (HVPG) measurements.
- A study is planned to determine if patients with compensated cirrhosis and LS≥25 kPa can benefit from carvedilol, focusing on a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial involving 446 adults.
- The primary outcome will be the incidence of decompensation events and liver-related deaths over three years, while secondary outcomes will include various complications of portal hypertension such as
Objective: Health-related quality of life (HRQoL) was an important health outcome measure for evaluating an individual's overall health status. However, there was limited in the literature on HRQoL and its long-term changes of the Tibetan population. This study aimed to assess HRQoL of Tibetan and its changes over time, and explore the differences in HRQoL for residents at different altitudes.

China has made significant progress in achieving equity in healthcare utilization. However, research on equity in healthcare utilization in Tibet is sparse.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFObjective: Data regarding diagnosis, management, and prognosis of patients with cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) from high altitude are limited. The aim of the present study is to identify the clinical features, risk factors, and outcomes of cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) in Tibet.
Methods: We retrospectively included patients with a diagnosis of CVT consecutively admitted to Tibet Autonomous Region People's Hospital between July 2015, and September 2022.
Background: The association between habitual food intake in Tibet and metabolic syndrome (MetS) is largely unclear.
Objective: To examine the association between Tibetan habitual food intake and MetS among Tibetan adults.
Methods: A population-based cross-sectional study, named the China Multi-Ethnic Cohort (CMEC) study, was conducted between 2018 and 2019.
Background: Studies of the impact of increased hemoglobin on spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) are limited. The present study aimed to explore the effect of increased hemoglobin on ICH.
Methods: A retrospective single-center study using medical records from a database processed by univariate and multivariate analyses was performed in the People's Hospital of Tibet Autonomous Region in Lhasa, Tibet, China.
Background: Numerous studies on acute ischemic stroke (AIS) have been conducted at low-altitude regions, and the related findings have been used to guide clinical management. However, corresponding studies at high altitude are few. This study aimed to analyse the clinical characteristics of AIS patients at high-altitude regions through a hospital-based comparative study between Tibet and Beijing.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFBackground and Purpose- Studies on the prevalence and risk factors of white matter lesions (WMLs) in Tibetans living at high altitudes are scarce. We conducted this study to determine the prevalence and risks of WMLs in Tibetan patients without or with nonacute stroke. Methods- We undertook a retrospective analysis of medical records of patients treated at the People's Hospital of Tibetan Autonomous Region and identified a total of 301 Tibetan patients without acute stroke.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFBackground And Purpose: We know little of the current status of stroke in Tibet Autonomous Region in China. This study was designed to investigate the characteristics of acute stroke in Tibet.
Methods: We conducted a hospital-based study on acute first-ever stroke in the People's Hospital of Tibet Autonomous Region (PHOTAR), and then compared the data collected to that from West China Hospital (WCH).
Background And Purpose: There have not been any new epidemiological studies related to stroke in Tibet for 20 years. This study aimed to collect stroke data from The City Staff Medical Insurance Registry in Lhasa, Tibet, to describe the incidence, clinical subtypes, and associated risk factors of stroke.
Methods: We used retrospective, population-based descriptive analysis of all urban and rural workers in the City Staff Medical Insurance Registry who were admitted to designated hospitals from October 2006 to October 2008.
