    lthough China has a slight decline in stroke incidence in recent years, it still seems to be the leading health threat to Chinese citizens. China continues to bear a heavy stroke burden which has distinct epidemiological characteristics, while major risk factors remain prevalent and poorly controlled. Markedly, the government is putting effort into advancing the stroke prevention and treatment system, meanwhile, continuously funding cerebrovascular disease research, and driving steady improvements in diagnosis and treatment capabilities. However,  stroke prevention and control work in China still faces considerable challenges. This report systematically reviews the current state of stroke prevention and treatment in China during 2023 from five perspectives: epidemiological characteristics, risk factors, diagnostic and therapeutic advances, prevention system development and stroke center construction, aiming to provide references for clinical practice.

    Zhang Jianjun, Zhuang Ying, Sun Chaoyuan, Gao Jian, Yan Hong, Jin Haizheng
    Journal of Capital Medical University    2026, 47 (1): 202-211.   DOI: 10.3969/j.issn.1006-7795.2026.01.026
    Abstract (345)      PDF(pc) (639KB)(2124)       Save
    Objective  To systematically analyze the characteristics of articles retracted due to “paper mills” and explore effective governance strategies to uphold academic integrity. Methods  Based on data from the Retraction Watch Database (2010-2024), a total of 7 513 articles retracted due to “paper mills” were included. Descriptive statistics and categorical analysis were employed to examine disciplinary distribution, national characteristics, article types, retraction timelines, publisher sources, and retraction reasons. Results  Retracted articles were primarily concentrated in Business & Technology (48.3%) and Basic Life Sciences (38.1%). China (including Taiwan Province) contributed to 88.5% of global retractions. Research articles constituted the majority of retracted types (88.3%). The average retraction period was 761.5 d. Publishers such as Hindawi and IOP Publishing were major sources of retractions. Key contributing factors included third-party investigations, data irregularities, and peer review fraud. Conclusion  Retractions linked to “paper mills” exhibit features such as disciplinary concentration, geographical imbalance, publisher accountability deficits, and retraction delays. Multifaceted governance strategies—including reforming academic evaluation systems, strengthening journal review mechanisms, promoting international cooperation, and enhancing research ethics education—are essential to combat paper mill activities and safeguard the integrity of scientific research.

    Journal of Capital Medical University    2025, 46 (6): 1102-1109.   DOI: 10.3969/j.issn.1006-7795.2025.06.018
    Abstract (218)      PDF(pc) (5442KB)(1993)       Save
    Objective  To describe the clinical application characteristics of robot-assisted technology in traumatic orthopedics based on real world data. Methods  Based on the orthopedic surgical robot database, this paper retrospectively included the basic information, epidemiological data, clinical diagnosis and surgical treatment data of inpatients undergoing surgery in the orthopedic Department of orthopedic trauma in Beijing Jishuitan Hospital Affiliated to Capital Medical University from January 2021 to July 2023. Gender, age, surgical site, surgical type, surgical time and blood loss were compared between robot-assisted surgery and non-robot-assisted surgery groups. Results There were significant differences in gender, age between the robot-assisted surgery group and the non-robot-assisted surgery group (P<0.001). Robot-assisted surgery technology has been used in 14 sites of fracture surgery. The majority of participants receiving robot-assisted surgery were male (60.61%), and patients aged 50 years and above accounted for 39.96%, among which 88.07% of patients received closed reduction internal fixation [the top three surgical sites: femur (35.48%), pelvis (26.67%) and clavicle (20.86%)]. Conclusions  Robot- assisted surgery has been widely used in traumatic orthopaedic multi-site fracture surgery, but the specific application of this technology is still different among different sites.

    Regulation of mandible morphology and functional homeostasis by Meckel's cartilage
    Zhang Ran, Shen Zongshan, Xu Tianyi, Wang Songling
    Journal of Capital Medical University    2025, 46 (6): 961-967.   DOI: 10.3969/j.issn.1006-7795.2025.06.002
    Abstract (273)      PDF(pc) (3037KB)(1758)       Save
    As the core cartilaginous structure of the first pharyngeal arch (mandibular arch), Meckel's cartilage (MC) has evolved from a traditional temporary scaffold to an active regulatory center in mandible development. This review aims to summarize the morphological characteristics, biological functions, molecular regulatory mechanisms, and differentiation fate of MC in mandibular bone development. Morphologically, MC exhibits dynamic spatiotemporal changes and species differences. Functionally, it serves as a signaling hub involved in regulating mandibular shape formation and patterning. Our previous studies have revealed that MC, demarcated by the incisor tooth, has endochondral ossification potential in the anterior segment and mainly participates in intramembranous ossification in the middle and posterior segments. Additionally, its morphology and mechanical environment are crucial for the development of adjacent muscles, tendons, and joints. In the later stages of development, most of MC undergoes programmed regression and transforms into adult structures such as the auditory ossicles, yet the specific molecular mechanisms remain unclear. In conclusion, MC is a dynamic, multifunctional master regulator in mandible development and evolution. Going beyond its passive role as a morphological template, it play a crucial role in maintaining homeostasis during craniofacial morphogenesis and functional development.

    Long Anhua, Zhang Jiafan, Yang Qi, Wang Xiongfei, Zhang Yakui, Wang Xuefei, Liu Liang
    Journal of Capital Medical University    2025, 46 (5): 791-798.   DOI: 10.3969/j.issn.1006-7795.2025.05.005
    Abstract (276)      PDF(pc) (6997KB)(1422)       Save
    Objective  To explore the technical advantages and applicable scenarios of surgical robot-assisted versus conventional freehand minimally invasive surgery for pelvic fractures by comparing clinical indicators, thereby providing evidence for clinical decision-making. Methods  A retrospective case-control study was conducted on 59 patients with pelvic fractures treated with minimally invasive internal fixation between January 2022 and December 2024. Patients were divided into a conventional group (26 cases) and a robot-assisted navigation group (33 cases) based on the surgical technique. Pre- and postoperative pelvic computed tomography (CT) scans were performed, and anteroposterior, outlet, and inlet view radiographs were obtained. The maximum residual displacement after pelvic reduction and screw placement accuracy were measured based on radiographic and CT imaging. Intraoperative fluoroscopy frequency, radiation dose, operative time, blood loss, number of implanted screws , maximum residual displacement after reduction, and screw accuracy were recorded. Results  No significant differences were observed between the two groups in age, gender, injury mechanism, or fracture classification, indicating comparability. Blood loss and fracture reduction quality showed no significant differences. The operative time was 52.5(30.8, 62.3) min in the conventional group and 60(50, 82.5) min in the robot-assisted group. Intraoperative fluoroscopy frequency and radiation dose were (19.1 ± 5.4) times and 33.1(27.5, 43.9) mGy in the conventional group, compared to (12.1 ± 4.9) times and 123.1(101.1, 131.4) mGy in the robot-assisted group. The robot-assisted group demonstrated superior screw placement accuracy, increased utilization of anterior column screws, and shorter postoperative ambulation time. Conclusion  Robot-assisted minimally invasive surgery for pelvic fractures significantly outperforms conventional freehand techniques in improving screw placement accuracy and reducing radiation exposure for surgeons. It represents a preferable option for treating unstable pelvic fractures.

    Ma Wei , Jiang Huimin , Zhou Yifan , Zhang Weiyue , Li Hui , Zhou Chen , Ji Xunming
    Journal of Capital Medical University    2025, 46 (5): 924-933.   DOI: 10.3969/j.issn.1006-7795.2025.05.024
    Abstract (341)      PDF(pc) (1709KB)(1395)       Save
    Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death worldwide, with atherosclerosis (AS)-its core pathological manifestation-representing a multifactorial-driven chronic inflammatory disorder. The pathogenesis of AS involves intricate pathological mechanisms including dyslipidemia, inflammatory cascades, and plaque vulnerability, whose complexity necessitates animal models capable of accurately recapitulating specific pathological features. Genetically engineered murine models have emerged as pivotal tools for deciphering AS mechanisms, owing to their genetic manipulability, phenotypic traceability, and molecular conservation with human pathophysiology. This review provides a systematic overview of current methodologies for establishing AS mouse models, with particular emphasis on evaluating the pathological fidelity of dietary induction approaches, genetic modification strategies [notably apolipoprotein E (ApoE)-/- and low density lipoproteins receptor (LDLr)-/- models], and physical injury paradigms.

    Tian Xue, Xia Xue, Zhou Quan, Yang Weizi, Hao Yunyi, Sun Yue, Wang Anxin, Zhang Tong
    Journal of Capital Medical University    2026, 47 (1): 43-53.   DOI: 10.3969/j.issn.1006-7795.2026.01.006
    Abstract (812)      PDF(pc) (562KB)(1347)       Save
    Objective  To screen and validate risk factors associated with stroke recurrence in Chinese patients with symptomatic intracranial and extracranial atherosclerotic stenosis and to identity patients at high-risk of stroke recurrence. Methods  This study utilized data from the Third China National Stroke Registry. Patients with stroke and ≥50% intracranial or extracranial arterial stenosis were included. The data collected included demographic characteristics, medical history, prehospital care, physical examination findings on admission, admission scores, imaging information, discharge diagnoses, and laboratory parameters. The primary outcome was ascertained as stroke recurrence within 3 months. Cox proportional hazards regression was used to identify independent risk factors for stroke recurrence in symptomatic intracranial and extracranial atherosclerotic stenosis patients. A prediction model for 3-month stroke recurrence was developed based on the identified factors and its predictive performance was compared with the traditional ESSEN score. Results  Among 3 944 enrolled patients (median age 64 years,  67.8% male), 324 (8.7%) patients experienced stroke recurrence within 3 months. Multivariable Cox regression analysis identified the following independent risk factors for recurrence: age≥75 years (HR=1.36, 95% CI: 1.06-1.76, P=0.016), time from onset to admission <72 h (HR=1.64, 95% CI: 1.14-2.35, P=0.007), admission National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) >5 (HR=3.38, 95% CI: 1.13-10.14, P=0.029), non-lacunar infarction (HR=1.71, 95% CI: 1.13-2.57, P=0.011), and elevated plasma interleukin-6 level (HR=1.02, 95% CI: 1.00-1.05, P=0.040). The novel prediction model demonstrated superior discriminative ability compared to the ESSEN score, with the C-statistic increasing from 0.557 to 0.616 (P=0.003). Significant improvements were also observed in integrated discrimination improvement (IDI=0.79%, 95% CI: 0.44%-1.14%, P<0.001) and net reclassification index (NRI=21.34%, 95% CI: 10.88%-31.80%, P<0.001).Conclusion  In Chinese patients with symptomatic intracranial and extracranial atherosclerotic stenosis, age≥75 years, onset-to-admission time <72 h, admission NIHSS >5, non-lacunar infarction, and elevated plasma interleukin-6 levels are independent risk factors for 3-month stroke recurrence. The prediction model incorporating these factors outperforms the conventional ESSEN score in identifying patients at high-risk of stroke recurrence.

    Chen Lu, Jiang Xue, Guo Xinying, Liu Jian, Guo Caixia
    Journal of Capital Medical University    2025, 46 (6): 1033-1043.   DOI: 10.3969/j.issn.1006-7795.2025.06.011
    Abstract (958)      PDF(pc) (605KB)(1331)       Save
    Objective  To analyze the clinical characteristics and prognosis of patients with acute myocardial infarction complicated with pericardial effusion. Methods  This study was a retrospective nested case-control study. Patients with acute myocardial infarction admitted from January 2016 to December 2024 were selected. Patients with concurrent pericardial effusion were assigned to the case group (n=348) and those without pericardial effusion based on age- and gender-matched were assigned to the control group (n=348) at a 1:1 ratio. Clinical data, such as basic information, comorbidities, auxiliary examinations, and prognosis information, were collected and compared between the two groups. A subgroup analysis was conducted within the case group, dividing patients into non-death group (n=280) and death group (n=68) based on survival, and their clinical data were analyzed and compared. Results  During the study period, 6 169 patients were diagnosed with acute myocardial infarction, of which 370 cases were complicated with mild, moderate, and massive pericardial effusion, with a crude incidence rate of 6.00%. A total of 348 patients with pericardial effusion were successfully matched in the case group, while 348 patients without pericardial effusion were in the control group. Compared with the control group, the proportion of pre-hospital cardiogenic shock, admission heart rate, Killip cardiac function grade Ⅲ and Ⅳ proportions, blood glucose, glycosylated hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP), B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP), D-dimer, creatinine, left ventricular end-diastolic diameter (LVEDd), ventricular aneurysm formation, intraoperative thrombotic shadow,  thrombolysis in myocardial infarction (TIMI) score, and GRACE score were recorded, CRUSADE score, Gensini score and SYNTAX score were higher; and the diastolic blood pressure, estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and the proportion of complete coronary angiography during hospitalization were lower (P<0.05). Multifactorial analysis indicates that increased BNP (OR=1.000, P=0.003), decreased albumin levels (OR=0.921, P=0.001), increased creatine kinase myocardial band (CK-MB) peak (OR=1.002, P<0.001), increased hsCRP (OR=1.008, P=0.013), increased LVEDd (OR=2.346, P<0.001), ventricular aneurysm formation (OR=3.004, P=0.006), and atrial fibrillation occurring during hospitalization (OR=2.240, P=0.007) are associated indicators of acute myocardial infarction complicated with pericardial effusion. Compared with the control group, the length of stay, proportion of atrial fibrillation occurring during hospitalization, proportion of abnormal liver function, proportion of abnormal renal function, and proportion of death were higher in the case group, and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). Subgroup analysis showed that compared with the non-death group, the age of the patients in the death group, proportion of Killip cardiac function grade Ⅳ, creatinine, BNP, D-dimer, TIMI score, GRACE score, CRUSADE score, SYNTAX score, abnormal renal function, cardiac rupture ratio, atrial fibrillation during hospitalization, malignant ventricular arrhythmia during hospitalization were higher; height, body weight, body mass index, admission diastolic blood pressure, albumin, and eGFR were lower, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). Multifactorial analysis indicates that low weight (OR=0.947, P<0.001), increased creatinine (OR=1.005, P=0.008), atrial fibrillation episodes during hospitalization (OR=3.063, P=0.003), malignant ventricular arrhythmias during hospitalization (OR=3.321, P=0.003), and increased GRACE score (OR=1.028, P<0.001) are associated indicators of mortality in patients with acute myocardial infarction complicated with pericardial effusion. Conclusions  Risk factors for acute myocardial infarction complicated with pericardial effusion include large myocardial infarction, poor heart function, and ventricular aneurysm formation. Low body weight, poor renal function, atrial fibrillation episodes, and malignant ventricular arrhythmias during hospitalization are associated with death in patients with acute myocardial infarction complicated by pericardial effusion, and it should be of particular concern in these patients.

    Song Jinghua, Zhang Kun, Guo Hongyan, Ding Huijing
    Journal of Capital Medical University    2026, 47 (2): 366-374.   DOI: 10.3969/j.issn.1006-7795.2026.02.019
    Abstract (149)      PDF(pc) (3121KB)(1068)       Save
    Objective  To provide a reference for the clinical characteristics, type, treatment and prognosis of abdominal wall endometriosis (AWE). Methods  This was a retrospective study of 227 AWE patients from January 2015 to December 2021. According to different depth of lesions, the enrolled patients were divided into four types and the clinical characteristics were analyzed. Results  The average age of onset for AWE patients was (35.2±4.6) years, the average number of pregnancies was (1.9±1.2) times, and the average number of deliveries was (1.2±0.5) times. Among them, 225 cases (99.1%) had a previous history of cesarean section, 1 case (0.4%) had only a history of laparoscopic ovarian endometriosis cystectomy, and 1 case (0.4%) was spontaneous AWE. The average latency period of onset was (4.3±3.5) years, and the average duration of the disease was (2.6±2.8) years. The average preoperative CA125 of 129 patients was (37.8±42.7) U/mL, and 42 cases had elevated results (>35 U/mL). In 16 patients, the incision tension was relatively large after resection of the lesion. Among them, 13 cases underwent artificial mesh placement, and 3 cases underwent autologous tissue repair. All patients underwent postoperative pathological examination, which all indicated AWE, among which 2 cases were malignant. According to the different invasion depths of AWE lesions, they were classified into type I (56 cases, 24.7%), type Ⅱ (91 cases, 40.1%), type Ⅲ (37 cases, 16.3%), and type Ⅳ (43 cases, 18.9%). The comparison results of clinical characteristics in the four types showed that there were statistically significant differences in the number of pregnancies, the number of deliveries, the number of intraoperative lesions, the maximum diameter of the lesion, the mesh implantation rate, and the length of hospital stay (P<0.05). Excluding the 2 patients with malignant AWE, the average follow-up time after surgery for the 225 AWE patients was (62.2±23.3) months, the symptom relief rate was 99.1% (223/225), the recurrence rate was 7.1% (16/225), and the average recurrence interval was (16.5±9.5) months. There were statistically significant differences in the postoperative recurrence rate and recurrence-free time among the patients of the four types (P<0.05). In the type Ⅳ group, the recurrence rate was significantly increased, and the recurrence-free time was significantly reduced. Conclusion  AWE can be diagnosed according to the typical clinical manifestations. AWE should be treated immediately once confirmed and taken measures to prevent recurrence. Surgical treatment is the best choice, with high symptom remission rate and low recurrence rate. Malignant transformation of AWE is rare and the prognosis is poor.

    Abstract (807)      PDF(pc) (1939KB)(1056)       Save
    Objective To analyze the three-dimensional(3D) changes of the morphology and structure of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ)after the establishment of a new steady-state through Twin-Block-induced mandibular advancement with 3D reconstruction of cone beam computed tomography (CBCT). Methods  Fifteen adolescent patients treated with Twin-Block appliances at the Department of Orthodontics, Shandong University School of Stomatology from June 2023 to July 2025 were selected. Pre- and post-treatment CBCT images were collected. Mimics 21.0 software was utilized for 3D reconstruction of the TMJs. Landmark identification and data measurement of condylar morphology and joint space were performed on the 3D models. Statistical analysis of pre- and post-treatment measurements was conducted. Results  Compared with pre-treatment values, significant increases were observed in post-treatment condylar mediolateral dimension, anteroposterior dimension, height, surface area, total volume, and head volume  (P<0.05). The superior joint space was significantly widened (P<0.05), and positional changes of the condyle were detected. Conclusion  Twin-Block mandibular advancement therapy induced adaptive growth remodeling of the condyle, characterized with increased height, volume and surface area, along with anterior and inferior displacement of the condyle relative to the glenoid fossa. The temporomandibular joint achieved a balanced state of structural and functional coordination at the new leading position.

    Predictive value of multiple composite inflammatory indices for the severity of coronary artery lesions
    Shen Xueqian, Xin Yu , Wu Zhenyan, Wu Haosheng, Yu Panpan, Jiang Xue , Guo Caixia
    Journal of Capital Medical University    2025, 46 (6): 1065-1072.   DOI: 10.3969/j.issn.1006-7795.2025.06.014
    Abstract (489)      PDF(pc) (2400KB)(959)       Save
    Objective  To compare the associations between the three composite inflammatory indices—systemic immune-inflammation Index (SII), systemic inflammation response index (SIRI), and aggregate index of Systemic inflammation (AIRI)—and the severity of coronary artery disease (CAD), as assessed by the Gensini score, and to evaluate their predictive performance.Methods  A total of 845 hospitalized patients who underwent coronary angiography from April 2023 to September 2024 were retrospectively enrolled. Clinical and laboratory data were collected, and SII, SIRI, and AIRI were calculated alongside Gensini scores. Multivariable linear regression models were applied to analyze the associations between each index and the Gensini score. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were generated to assess the predictive value of these indices for severe coronary stenosis (Gensini score>40). Restricted cubic spline (RCS) analysis was used to examine potential nonlinear relationships, and subgroup interaction analyses were performed. Results  All three indices (SII, SIRI, AIRI) showed a significant upward trend across Gensini score quartiles (P<0.001) and were positively correlated with Gensini scores. After full adjustment for covariates, SIRI remained an independent predictor of Gensini score (β=3.79, P=0.007), demonstrating a stronger predictive effect than SII and AIRI. ROC analysis showed that the area under the curve of SIRI was 0.648, which was superior to AIRI (0.626) and SII (0.598), with statistical significance. Further analysis indicated that incorporating SIRI into the traditional risk factor model resulted in a modest but statistically significant improvement in predictive performance (net reclassification improvement=0.178, P=0.018; integrated discrimination improvement=0.009, P=0.022).RCS analysis suggested a borderline-significant nonlinear positive association between SIRI and Gensini scores (P-overall=0.030). In subgroup analysis, the predictive value of SIRI was significantly strengthened in diabetic patients, with a significant interaction between diabetes status and SIRI (P for interaction=0.045). Conclusion  All three composite inflammatory indices were associated with the severity of coronary artery disease, among which SIRI demonstrated relatively better performance. Incorporating SIRI into a model containing traditional risk factors led to a modest but statistically significant improvement in predictive performance. As a simple and cost-effective biomarker, SIRI holds significant potential for early risk stratification and screening in clinical settings, especially when coronary angiography is unavailable or resources are limited.

    Geng Mozhao, Zhao Yue, Zou Liying
    Journal of Capital Medical University    2026, 47 (1): 108-114.   DOI: 10.3969/j.issn.1006-7795.2026.01.014
    Abstract (1646)      PDF(pc) (530KB)(946)       Save
    Hyperglycemia in pregnancy is a disorder of carbohydrate metabolism that occurs during pregnancy and is associated with a variety of adverse pregnancy outcomes and an increased risk of long-term maternal and infant metabolic syndrome. Pregnant women with hyperglycemia who do not achieve the blood glucose standard despite lifestyle interventions should receive hypoglycemic drug treatment. Metformin, a classic hypoglycemic drug, has received increasing attention in its application during pregnancy. Current studies show that it has a certain effect on controlling maternal blood glucose, yet its impact on the long-term health of offspring is controversial. This review summarizes the effects of metformin exposure in utero during pregnancy on the obesity, blood pressure, lipid metabolism, endocrine system, reproductive health, and nervous system of offspring, as well as the viewpoints of guidelines from various countries on the application of metformin during pregnancy, thereby facilitating clinicians’ comprehensive understanding of the safety and rationality of metformin application during pregnancy.

    Under physiological conditions, the blood-brain barrier (BBB) blocks over 95% of various drugs from entering the central nervous system (CNS). How to achieve precise and efficient intracranial drug delivery by overcoming the BBB in a minimally invasive or non-invasive manner has become one of the current challenges in pharmaceutical research and development. This review summaries the feasibility and efficacy of a novel CNS drug delivery pathway that bypasses the BBB through the skull bone marrow-dura-glymphatic system, to provide new perspectives and strategies for drug delivery and treatment in a range of major brain diseases.

    Migraine is a severe chronic neurovascular disorder that significantly impacts patients' quality of life. Its pathophysiology is intricate, influenced by both genetic and environmental factors, yet existing treatments remain less than satisfactory. Epigenetics serves as a crucial bridge linking environmental and genetic factors. Increasing evidence indicates that epigenetic mechanisms are involved in migraine auras, attacks, and chronicity. These processes may serve as biomarkers for migraine diagnosis and prognosis, and as novel therapeutic targets. This paper provides a comprehensive review of the epigenetics of migraine, aiming to identify reliable biomarkers and therapeutic targets that advance migraine management.

    Objective  To screen the relevant risk factors for adverse pregnancy outcomes in pregnant women with hypertensive disorders of pregnancy(HDP) combined with gestational diabetes mellitus(GDM) and to construct risk prediction model and evaluate its predictive performance. Methods  Through the electronic medical record system, clinical data of 1 061 singleton primiparas were collected and analyzed retrospectively, who were diagnosed with HDP complicated by GDM in Beijing Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital, Capital Medical University, from January 2022 to December 2024. A random number method was used to randomly divide the patients into a training set (742 cases) and a validation set (319 cases) according to a 7∶3 ratio. Based the pregnancy outcome the patients were divided into the adverse pregnancy outcome group (APO group) and the non-adverse pregnancy outcome group (non-APO group). The clinical data of two groups of pregnant women were compared to each other, including age, pre-pregnancy weight, pre-pregnancy body mass index (BMI), weight gain during pregnancy, pre-delivery weight, pre-delivery BMI, diabetes family history, hypertension family history, hypothyroidism, whether assisted reproductive technology was used for conception, whether pre-eclampsia (PE) or chronic hypertension with superimposed pre-eclampsia (CPE) occurred. Univariate Logistic regression analysis was used to screen variables, and a prediction model was constructed by multivariate Logistic regression analysis and a nomogram was drawn. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) was used to evaluate the discrimination of the model. The calibration curve and Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness—fit test were used to verify and evaluate the calibration of the model. The decision curve analysis (DCA) was used to evaluate the clinical effectiveness of the prediction model. Results  A total of 1 061 primiparas with HDP  complicated by GDM were enrolled, and the incidence of adverse pregnancy outcomes was 47.6% (505/1061). Six predictive variables were screened out by univariate Logistic regression analysis: age, pre-pregnancy BMI, hypothyroidism, diabetes family history, hypertension family history, and PE/CPE. The multivariate Logistic regression analysis indicated that they were all risk factors for the occurrence of adverse pregnancy outcomes in pregnant women with HDP complicated by GDM (P< 0.05). Draw a column line chart based on these 6 risk factors and construct a risk prediction model. The AUC of the training set patients with adverse pregnancy outcomes were 0.829 (95%CI:0.799-0.859) while that of the validation set patients with adverse pregnancy outcomes were 0.839 (95%CI:0.796-0.883), without significantly difference (P=0.477 6). The Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness-of-fit test showed a good fit (P= 0.323 8 for the training set and P= 0.702 9 for the validation set), and there was a significant agreement between the predicted value and the actual value. DCA indicated that the prediction model demonstrated clinical utility when the threshold probability exceeds 0.05. Conclusion  The risk prediction model can effectively identify high-risk groups with adverse pregnancy outcomes in primiparas with HDP complicated by GDM, which can provide reference for early intervention.
