In this article, the authors adopt a position with respect to the definition of 'nursing diagnosis'. Two central functions of a classification system for nursing diagnoses are distinguished: domain and communication. Seven issues related to the development of such a classification system are discussed. These issues are of a methodological, philosophical and practical nature. A proposal is made for further study and development of a Dutch classification system for nursing diagnoses, preferably in collaboration with NANDA.

Anti-tumor Necrosis Factor Drug Concentration Is Not Associated with Disease Outcomes in Pouchitis: A Retrospective, International Study.
Dig Dis Sci
January 2025
INFINY Institute, Department of Gastroenterology, CHRU Nancy, INSERM NGERE, Université de Lorraine, 54500 , Vandœuvre-lès-Nancy, France.
Background: Therapeutic drug monitoring is important for optimizing anti-tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) therapy in inflammatory bowel disease. However, the exposure-response relationship has never been assessed in pouchitis.
Aims: To explore associations between anti-TNF-α drug concentration and pouchitis disease activity in patients with a background of ulcerative colitis.
Psychometric Properties of the Chinese Version of the Arthritis Self-Care Behaviors Scale.
Int J Rheum Dis
January 2025
School of Nursing, Peking University, Beijing, People's Republic of China.
Background: In Chinese intervention studies, the lack of specific self-care scales based on the functional characteristics of Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients has caused patients and researchers to spend a great deal of time completing multiple related scales during the research work. Therefore, the arthritis Self-Care Behaviors Scale (SCBS) was developed to evaluate the self-care behavior of patients with arthritis.
Objective: The objectives of this study were to translate the SCBS into Chinese and test its psychometric properties in Chinese patients with RA.
Magnitude of cancer-associated thrombosis in Africa: A systematic review and meta-analysis.
iScience

Int J Chron Obstruct Pulmon Dis
January 2025
Department of Emergency Medicine, West China Hospital, Sichuan University, Chengdu, People's Republic of China.
Background: This study aims to investigate the association between vitamin D levels and the risk of severe acute exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD).
Methods: We conducted a prospective observational study with 636 COPD patients admitted for exacerbations between January 2021 and December 2022. Patients were categorized based on serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels: severe deficiency (<10 ng/mL), deficiency (10-20 ng/mL), insufficiency (20-30 ng/mL), or sufficiency (>30 ng/mL).
Development and external validation of a model to predict recurrence in patients with non-muscle invasive bladder cancer.
Front Immunol
January 2025
School of Nursing, Zunyi Medical University, Zunyi, China.
Background: Most patients initially diagnosed with non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) still have frequent recurrence after urethral bladder tumor electrodesiccation supplemented with intravesical instillation therapy, and their risk of recurrence is difficult to predict. Risk prediction models used to predict postoperative recurrence in patients with NMIBC have limitations, such as a limited number of included cases and a lack of validation. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop new models to compensate for the shortcomings and potentially provide evidence for predicting postoperative recurrence in NMIBC patients.
