The age, gender, serum creatinine and risk factors for stroke (hypertension, diabetes, dyslipidemia, homocysteine, atrial fibrillation, smoking, drinking), coronary heart disease, previous stroke history, tumor history, National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score, hemoglobin, hematocrit and other basic data were recorded. The patients were divided into the group with good prognosis (mRS score ≤ 2) and the group with poor prognosis (mRS score > 2). The relationship between hemoglobin levels and the prognosis of cerebral infarction in elderly patients were analyzed. \u0000 \u0000 \u0000Results \u0000After 6 months of follow-up, 124 (52.1%, 124/238) stroke patients had a good prognosis, and 114 (47.9%, 114/238) patients had a poor prognosis, including 21 deaths. Anemia at admission (OR=2.433, 95%CI: 1.213-4.591, P=0.011), new-onset anemia after hospitalization (OR=2.615, 95%CI: 1.333-6.521, P=0.043) and the low level of minimum hemoglobin during hospitalization (OR=0.847, 95%CI: 0.671-0.971, P=0.038) were independent risk factors for poor prognosis in elderly stroke patients aged ≥75 years. New-onset anemia after hospitalization (OR=1.015, 95%CI: 1.002-1.027, P=0.022), the low level of minimum hemoglobin during hospitalization (OR=0.801, 95%CI: 0.654-0.981, P=0.027), the decrement of hemoglobin ≥20 g/L (OR=1.342, 95%CI: 1.011-1.763, P=0.000) at reexamination were independent risk factors for the mortality in elderly patients with cerebral infarction. \u0000 \u0000 \u0000Conclusions \u0000Anemia at admission, new-onset anemia after hospitalization, and the low level of minimum hemoglobin during hospitalization are independent predictors for poor prognosis in cerebral infarction patients aged ≥75 years.

Cervical lesions were screened by DNA ploidy analysis and the results were compared with those screened by liquid-based cytology, colposcopy and high-risk human papillomavirus(HPV). \u0000 \u0000 \u0000Results \u0000The positive detection rate of HPV by DNA ploidy analysis was 54.4%(764/1 404).

There was a significant positive correlation between HPV infection type and cervical epithelial cell ploidy changes(r=870, P=0.001). The detection rate of HPV by liquid-based cytology was 45.08%, which was lower than that by DNA aneuploidy(χ2=9.594, P=0.002).

Data including gender, age, N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide(NT-proBNP), glomerular filtration rate(eGFR), the type of medication, HAS-BLED(Hypertension, abnormal renal/liver function, stroke, bleeding history or predisposition, labile international normalized ratio, elderly, drugs/alcohol concomitantly), CHA2DS2-VASc scores, Charlson comorbidity index and clinical frailty scores(CFS)were recorded and compared between the two groups.Spearman correlation was used to analyze the correlation between frailty degrees and program of anticoagulant therapy.Two-class Logistic regression models were used to analyze the related factors for programs of anticoagulant therapy. \u0000 \u0000 \u0000Results \u0000The incidence of the frailty syndrome was 56.49% in 131 elderly patients with atrial fibrillation.Compared with the anticoagulation group, non-anticoagulation group showed that the CFS score[(5.73±1.85)vs.(3.69±2.07), P 0.05). The correlation analysis showed that there was a negative correlation between the application of anticoagulants and CFS grade in elderly patients with atrial fibrillation(r=-0.138, P<0.05). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that age, CFS score and the incidence of frailty state were risk factors in elderly atrial fibrillation patients without the anticoagulant therapy(P<0.05). \u0000 \u0000 \u0000Conclusions \u0000The incidence of frailty state in elderly patients with atrial fibrillation is high, and the proportion of patients receiving the anticoagulant therapy is low.Age and frailty may be the most important influencing factors for anticoagulant therapy.Therefore, it is of great significance to incorporate frailty assessment into the management of anticoagulant therapy in elderly patients with atrial fibrillation. \u0000 \u0000 \u0000Key words: \u0000Frailty; Atrial fibrillation; Anticoagulation","PeriodicalId":9997,"journal":{"name":"中华老年医学杂志","volume":"38 1","pages":"1131-1136"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45756367","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
