APACHE system is better than Ranson system in the prediction of severity of acute pancreatitis

Hepatobiliary & Pancreatic Diseases International 2006年第2期5卷 294-299页

作者： Yuk Pang Yeung Billy Yeung Kit Lam Andrew wai Chun yip Department ot Surgery Kwong Wah Hospital 25 Waterloo Road Kowloon Hong Kong China

BACKGROUND: It has been suggested that addition of obesity score to the APACHE-Ⅱ system can lead to more accurate prediction of severity of acute pancreatitis. However there is scanty information on the usefulness of the combined APACHE-O scoring system in Asian patients. This study aimed to compare the accuracy of Ranson, APACHE-Ⅱ and APACHE-O systems in assessing severity of acute pancreatitis in a local Chinese population. METHODS: One hundred and one consecutive patients with acute pancreatitis were prospectively studied. Body mass index (BMI) was measured on admission. Ranson score, APACHE-Ⅱ and APACHE-O scores were recorded on admission and at 48 hours. By adopting the cut-off levels and definitions advocated in the Atlanta consensus for severe disease, the diagnostic accuracy of the three scoring systems was compared by the area under the curve (AUC) under the receiver operator characteristic curve. RESULTS: Of the 101 patients, 12 (11.9%) patients suffered from severe pancreatitis. Obesity was uncommon and only two patients (2.0%) had BMI >30. Eighty-two (81.2%) patients were normal weight (BMI≤25) whereas 17 (16.8%) were overweight ( BMI 25-30 ). Overweight or obesity (BMI >25) was not associated with severe pancreatitis (P= 0.40). The AUC for admission scores of Ranson, APACHE-Ⅱ, and APACHE-O systems was 0. 549, 0. 904 and 0. 904, respectively. The AUC for 48-hour scores of Ranson, APACHE-Ⅱ and APACHE-O systems was 0.808, 0.955 and 0.951, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: The APACHE-Ⅱ scoring system is more accurate than the Ranson scoring system of the prediction of severity in acute pancreatitis. Addition of obesity score does not significantly improve the predictive accuracy of the APACHE-Ⅱ system in our local population with a low prevalence of obesity.

Efficacy and safety of tadalafil taken as needed for the treatment of erectile dysfunction in Asian men： results of an integrated analysis

Asian Journal of Andrology 2009年第4期11卷 423-433页

作者： Ying-Lu Guo Vijay P Viswanathan Han-Sun Chiang Hyung Ki Choi Andrew wai Chun yip Wei Shen Vladimir Kopernicky Andrology Center Peking University First Hospital Peking University Beo＇ing 100009 China M. V. Hospital for Diabetes and Diabetes Research Centre Chennai 600013 India School of Medicine Fu Jen Catholic University Taipei 24205 Taiwan China Department of Urology Yongdong Severance Hospital Seoul 135720 Korea Department of Surgery Kwong Wah Hospital Hong Kong China Lilly USA LLC Indianapolis IN 46285 USA

We evaluated the efficacy and safety of as-needed tadalafil in a diverse clinical population （with varying patient demographics, disease severity, and comorbid medical conditions） of Asian men with erectile dysfunction （ED）. An integrated analysis of five double-blind, placebo-controlled trials （N = 1 046） was performed. Patients were randomly assigned to receive 10 mg tadalafil （N = 185）, 20 mg tadalafil （N = 510）, or placebo （N = 351）. Efficacy assessments included the International Index of Erectile Function （IIEF）, Sexual Encounter Profile （SEP） diary and Global Assessment Question （GAQ）. Patients receiving 10 mg or 20 mg tadalafil showed significant improvement from baseline-to-end point on the Erectile Function domain of the International Index of Erectile Function （IIEF-EF） domain score in all clinical sub-populations analyzed, compared with patients receiving placebo （P 〈 0.001）. The 10-mg and 20-mg tadalafil groups showed a mean success rate of 64.1% and 70.5% for sexual intercourse attempts （SEP3, successful intercourse）, respectively, compared with 33.4% in the placebo group （P 〈 0.001）, and 85.5% and 85.4% reported improved erections at end point GAQ, respectively, versus 43.5% in the placebo group （P 〈 0.001）. Tadalafil was well tolerated across all groups studied. Headache and back pain were the most frequently reported adverse events. Overall, tadalafil was effective and well tolerated across a diverse clinical spectrum of Asian men with ED.
