概括
这项研究发现,识别皮肤沸等症状的算法比单独的诊断代码更好地估计腹炎 (HS) 患病率. 改进的患病率估计可以减少诊断延迟,并提高HS治疗结果.
科学领域:
- 皮肤病学 皮肤病学
- 流行病学 流行病学
- 医疗信息学 医疗信息学
背景情况:
- 补腺炎 (HS) 是一种慢性,炎症性皮肤疾病,其特点是患者负担很大,诊断延迟.
- 由于数据收集和分析的方法差异,现有的HS流行率估计有所不同.
- 准确的流行数据对于了解疾病影响和资源分配至关重要.
研究的目的:
- 为了估计在美国可能和确诊的状腺炎 (HS) 病例的流行率.
- 为了比较两个不同的算法在大型医疗保健数据库中识别HS病例的有效性.
- 突出使用国际疾病分类 (ICD) 代码单独用于HS流行率估计的局限性.
主要方法:
- 一项回顾性队列研究,利用来自美国四个医疗保健数据库 (MarketScan和Optum) 的数据.
- 开发了两个算法,以根据ICD代码和症状标准 (例如,多个皮肤沸) 来识别可能/诊断出HS的患者.
- 纳入标准要求连续医疗和药房福利为365天的前后指数期.
主要成果:
- 与算法1相比,算法2在所有评估的数据库中发现了更多的可能/诊断的HS病例.
- 在5年期间,HS的患病率在0.06%至0.12%之间,仅使用ICD代码.
- 当使用算法1 (0.27%0.41%) 和算法2 (0.49%0.78%) 时,患病率估计显著增加,在成人和女性中观察到更高的患病率.
结论:
- 仅依靠HS诊断代码可能会低估这种疾病的真实患病率.
- 结合特定临床参数的算法,如多个皮肤沸,为HS流行率估计提供了更全面的方法.
- 实施可靠的识别方法可能会缩短诊断的延迟,并改善hidradenitis suppurativa患者的治疗结果.

Angina II: Classification
709
Angina, also known as angina pectoris, is a chest pain resulting from diminished blood flow to the heart muscle and is often a symptom of coronary artery disease. Angina presents several variants with distinctive attributes, etiologies, and therapeutic approaches. The main types of angina include stable, unstable, variant (Prinzmetal's), microvascular, intractable, and silent ischemia.Stable angina is caused by atherosclerosis, which leads to the formation of plaques that narrow the coronary...

Varicose Veins II: Diagnostic Studies and Interprofessional Care
319
Varicose veins, or varicosities, develop when the valves in the veins, which control blood flow, weaken or damage. It causes blood to pool and the veins to enlarge. Understanding the clinical manifestations, diagnostic approaches, and management options for varicose veins is crucial for effective treatment and relief.Clinical manifestationsClinical manifestations of varicose veins include a heavy, achy feeling or pain after prolonged standing or sitting. This discomfort can often be relieved by...
