The results show that higher road network density and lower clinic hospital density will increase residents' hypertension risk by increasing walking time.…”

The improvement of urban built-up environment is conducive to constructing a green city, promoting residents’ active life, and preventing and relieving hypertension. Based on the questionnaire and blood pressure measurement data, this paper constructs a structural equation model of multiple intermediaries in built-up environment, health behavior and hypertension, so as to analyze the influential factors of built-up environment on residents’ hypertension and clarify its path for influencing behavior. Research shows that the built-up environment in urban community has a significant impact on residents’ hypertension, and is not disturbed by individual health status. High-density supermarkets, convenience stores, parks and squares as well as low-density clinics and hospitals are likely to increase residents’ risk of hypertension and affect hypertension through healthy behaviors. Therefore, to improve the built-up environment in urban community will help to change the hygienic behavior, and improve the general level of the health, of residents.

“…(1) e study does not consider the health system organizational model as a factor influencing the waiting times in the tertiary hospital. e coordination of primary care, hospitals, and communities improves early identification of health needs, healthcare service provision, and appropriateness [43,44], reducing waiting times in hospitals and patient's satisfaction.

Big Data-Enabled Analysis of Factors Affecting Patient Waiting Time in the Nephrology Department of a Large Tertiary Hospital

The length of waiting time has become an important indicator of the efficiency of medical services and the quality of medical care. Lengthy waiting times for patients will inevitably affect their mood and reduce satisfaction. For patients who are in urgent need of hospitalization, delayed admission often leads to exacerbation of the patient’s condition and may threaten the patient’s life. We gathered patients’ information about outpatient visits and hospital admissions in the Nephrology Department of a large tertiary hospital in western China from January 1st, 2014, to December 31st, 2016, and we used big data-enabled analysis methods, including univariate analysis and multivariate linear regression models, to explore the factors affecting waiting time. We found that gender ( P = 0.048 ), the day of issuing the admission card (Saturday, P = 0.028 ), the applied period for admission ( P < 0.001 ), and the registration interval ( P < 0.001 ) were positive influencing factors of patients’ waiting time. Disease type (after kidney transplantation, P < 0.001 ), number of diagnoses ( P = 0.037 ), and the day of issuing the admission card (Sunday, P = 0.001 ) were negative factors. A linear regression model built using these data performed well in the identification of factors affecting the waiting time of patients in the Nephrology Department. These results can be extended to other departments and could be valuable for improving patient satisfaction and hospital service quality by identifying the factors affecting waiting time.

“…Every year, 40 million people need palliative care, but only 3 million have access to such special attention [ 2 ]. Currently, the goal of PC is to promote comfort and to maintain an optimal quality of life for patients and their families under palliative care [ 3 ] through prevention and management of physical, psychosocial and spiritual issues in these patients [ 4 ]. It should not be forgotten that quality of life evaluates the subjective perception that each patient has around alterations or limitations that the disease undertakes in the physical, psychosocial and spiritual aspects of their lives [ 5 ].…”

Nutritional management of patients under palliative care can lead to ethical issues, especially when Enteral Nutrition (EN) is prescribed by nasogastric tube (NGT). The aim of this review is to know the current status in the management of EN by NG tube in patients under palliative care, and its effect in their wellbeing and quality of life. The following databases were used: PubMed, Web of Science (WOS), Scopus, Scielo, Embase and Medline. After inclusion and exclusion criteria were applied, as well as different qualities screening, a total of three entries were used, published between 2015 and 2020. In total, 403 articles were identified initially, from which three were selected for this review. The use of NGT caused fewer diarrhea episodes and more restrictions than the group that did not use NG tubes. Furthermore, the use of tubes increased attendances to the emergency department, although there was no contrast between NGT and PEG devices. No statistical difference was found between use of tubes (NGT and PEG) or no use, with respect to the treatment of symptoms, level of comfort, and satisfaction at the end of life. Nevertheless, it improved hospital survival compared with other procedures, and differences were found in hospital stays in relation to the use of other probes or devices. Finally, there are not enough quality studies to provide evidence on improving the health status and quality of life of the use of EN through NGT in patients receiving palliative care. For this reason, decision making in this field must be carried out individually, weighing the benefits and damages that they can cause in the quality of life of the patients.
