Evidence-based pharmacotherapy is a central aspect of optimal patient care for many chronic conditions. However, medication non-adherence frequently inhibits the attainment of optimal pharmacotherapy regimens. In this study, we designed, developed, and implemented a multifaceted clinical decision support (CDS) intervention that supports evidence-based pharmacotherapy and enhanced medication adherence through the use of a scalable, claims-driven, and service-oriented approach. The intervention includes a medication management report and a low adherence alert based on thirteen evidence-based pharmacotherapy rules for seven chronic conditions. Reports and alerts are delivered to primary care clinics and care managers that participate in a healthcare information exchange in North Carolina. The resulting system architecture may enable this CDS intervention to be widely disseminated to healthcare networks through an open-source model.

[Clinical practice guidelines for perioperative fluid therapy in Chinese adult patients (2025 edition)].

Perioperative fluid therapy is a pivotal component of surgical patient management, as appropriate fluid administration can significantly enhance postoperative recovery. To standardize perioperative fluid therapy for adult patients in China, the Geriatric Anesthesia and Perioperative Management Group of the Chinese Society of Anesthesiology has developed the "Clinical Practice Guidelines for Perioperative Fluid Therapy in Chinese Adult Patients". Based on current clinical status in China, this guideline addressed 11 key areas based on clinical evidence, more than 30% of which is from China researchers, including principles for the selection of common fluid types, preoperative fasting and hydration following enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocols, intraoperative fluid requirements for adult patients, perioperative volume assessment, perioperative evaluation of volume overload/insufficiency, goal-directed fluid therapy, restrictive fluid therapy, perioperative fluid therapy strategies for high-risk patients, fluid resuscitation for massive blood loss, the relationship between perioperative fluid therapy and postoperative complications, and the relationship between perioperative fluid therapy and ERAS.

Pertussis is an important public health and clinical issue in China currently. Macrolide resistance in is a serious challenge to prevent and manage pertussis in China. Early, timely and effective antimicrobial therapy plays an important role in alleviating disease, reducing complications and severe diseases, eliminating carriers and reducing secondary transmission, and implementing post-exposure chemoprophylaxis in special scenarios is also necessary to protect individuals at high risk of severe diseases.

(MP) is a common cause of community-acquired pneumonia in children in China, and it is often prevalent in the autumn and winter seasons. In the autumn and winter of 2023, a large-scale epidemic outbreak of MP pneumonia occurred nationwide in the pediatric population, which brought harm to child health, caused a heavy disease burden, imposed a challenge to the pediatric medical service system, and aroused great attention from medical administration and public health fields. The widespread prevalence of macrolide-resistant MP (MRMP) in China has become a prominent problem in pediatric clinical practice.

Is it feasible to treat polycystic ovarian syndrome with or without insulin resistance using glucokinase activators as novel hypoglycaemic medications? A protocol for a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Introduction: A variety of hypoglycaemic drugs are used to treat polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), but their efficacy remains insufficient. Glucokinase activators (GKAs) are a unique class of hypoglycaemic medications with emerging potential, notably in significantly reducing insulin resistance (IR). Nevertheless, the efficacy of GKAs in treating PCOS, particularly in the absence or presence of IR, remains uncertain.
