A system of operative quantitative assessment of the status of patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), osteoarthrosis (OA), systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and systemic scleroderma (SSD) was developed using a mathematical model of discriminant analysis. Data contained in case histories of 120 patients with RA, 112 with OA, 106 with SLE and 63 with SSD were used to determine discriminant coefficients of linear discriminant equations of some functional systems: locomotor, cardiovascular, respiratory, renal, digestive, nervous, skin and subcutaneous fat, immunological as well as laboratory findings on disease standing. Knowing discriminant coefficients, one can determine an index in any values of functional indicators that characterize the status of one or another system in any phase of the treatment of a patient. The system can be used in practice in a rheumatological hospital using CM-1600 minicomputer.

Objective: This study aimed to uncover the patterns of Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection outcomes in women and assess the risk factors that may affect these outcomes.
Methods: A retrospective study was conducted on 608 women who tested positive for HPV-DNA during their initial visit to the outpatient department of Shenzhen Longgang Central Hospital from 2018 to 2023 and who had subsequent HPV-DNA testing as part of their post-visit monitoring. The monitoring intervals were every 6 months.
The usefulness of Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI) scoring in predicting all-cause mortality in Outpatients with Clinical Diagnoses of COPD.

Trinity Health of New England, St. Francis Hospital, Hartford, CT, USA.
Background: Since comorbid conditions are frequently present in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and affect outcome, a composite scoring system to quantify comorbidity might be helpful in assessing mortality risk.
Methods: We tested the hypothesis that the Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI) score at the time of an outpatient medical clinic encounter for COPD predicts all-cause mortality. Cox Proportional Hazards analyses were used in 200 randomly selected patients to relate CCI scores to all-cause mortality out to 5 years.
