(Fighting against New Coronary Pneumonia) Beijing has no new confirmed cases for 43 consecutive days
China News Agency, Beijing, May 29th: From 0:00 to 24:00 on May 28th, there were no newly reported cases of overseas imports and confirmed cases of local new coronary pneumonia in Beijing. This is the 43th consecutive day that Beijing has not reported newly confirmed cases. As of 24:00 on May 28, there were 3 cases imported from Beijing and confirmed locally.
The Beijing Municipal Health Commission stated on May 29 that there were no new reports of imported or locally confirmed cases, suspected cases and asymptomatic infections in Beijing from 0:00 to 24:00 on May 28. This is Beijing's 43 consecutive days since April 16, and no new confirmed cases have been reported.
As of 24:00 on May 28, Beijing has reported a total of 174 confirmed imported cases abroad, a total of 172 discharged cases, and 2 hospitalized cases; a total of 419 locally diagnosed cases, a total of 409 discharged cases, a total of 9 deaths, and a total of 1 hospitalized cases have been reported. example.
Among the 593 overseas imported and locally diagnosed cases admitted in Beijing, there are some severe and critically ill patients. So, how do Beijing medical institutions warn patients about the probability of critical illness, so as to effectively prevent patients from becoming critically ill and improve the treatment rate? As the Beijing New Coronary Pneumonia Hospital, the medical staff of Beijing Ditan Hospital wrote a paper on early warning of critical new coronary pneumonia, which was accepted and published by Journal of Translational Medicine a few days ago.
The paper pointed out that the critical illness of new coronary pneumonia manifested as rapid disease progression to acute respiratory failure, shock or combined organ failure. The study aimed to screen the most effective predictive factors for early warning of the severity of new coronary pneumonia. A total of 61 cases diagnosed in Ditan Hospital were included in the model cohort, and 54 cases were included in the verification cohort.
The results of the study show that the incidence of severe illness is 13%, and severe patients generally have a rapid deterioration of the condition from the 7th to the 14th day of the course of the disease and progress to acute respiratory failure. The study analyzed the risk factors for severe disease for the first time, and the results showed that neutrophil count / lymphocyte count (NLR) is an independent risk factor that affects the occurrence of critical illness. Patients with age ≥50 years and NLR ≥3.13 have a high incidence of critical illness . (Finish)
