Assessing the capture of sociodemographic information in electronic medical records to inform clinical decision making.
PLoS One
January 2025
Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, University of Toronto, Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
There is a growing need to document sociodemographic factors in electronic medical records to produce representative cohorts for medical research and to perform focused research for potentially vulnerable populations. The objective of this work was to assess the content of family physicians' electronic medical records and characterize the quality of the documentation of sociodemographic characteristics. Descriptive statistics were reported for each sociodemographic characteristic.

National Center for Birth Defects Monitoring, West China Second University Hospital, Sichuan University, Chengdu, China.
Background: Seasonality in the incidence of congenital hypothyroidism (CH) has been identified in several countries and different conclusions have been drawn. The objective of this study was to examine whether this seasonality is also observable in China and how it manifests across different temperate zones.
Methods: Data on CH cases and screened neonates between January 1, 2014, and September 30, 2022, by year and season, were sourced from the Chinese Newborn Screening Information System.
Intravenous versus intramuscular route of administration of natural adrenocorticotropic hormone in infantile epileptic spasm syndrome.
Transl Pediatr
December 2024
Department of Pediatrics, West China Second University Hospital, Sichuan University, Chengdu, China.
Background: Infantile epileptic spasm syndrome (ISS) is an age-dependent epileptic condition typically emerging within the first year of life, and adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) has been established as a first-line therapeutic drug for the ISS since 1958. However, there is a notable variation in ACTH dosage practices worldwide, with intramuscular injection being common in some countries and intravenous drip preferred in others, including China. This study aimed to identify a preferable administration modality for ACTH-based utilization in treating ISS.

January 2025
Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, West China Second University Hospital, Sichuan University, Chengdu, Sichuan, P.R. China.
Primary chemoresistance to platinum-based treatment is observed in approximately 33% of individuals diagnosed with ovarian cancer; however, conventional clinical markers exhibit limited predictive value for chemoresistance. This study aimed to discover new genetic markers that can predict primary resistance to platinum-based chemotherapy. Through the analysis of three GEO datasets (GSE114206, GSE51373, and GSE63885) utilizing bioinformatics methodologies, we identified two specific genes, MFAP4 and EFEMP1.

Objective: This study aimed to identify factors influencing the prognosis of children with severe pneumonia (SP) after fiberoptic bronchoscopic bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL).
Methods: The clinical data of 155 children with SP treated with fiberoptic bronchoscopic BAL at Xi'an International Medical Center Hospital between January 2022 and January 2024 were retrospectively analyzed. Children were categorized into the survival group (n = 122) and the death group (n = 33) according to their clinical outcomes within 28 days after treatment.
