在他们最近的文章中，“结合血压变异性的性别特异性临床风险评分用于预测痴呆事件”，Zhou等人1使用电子健康记录来描述痴呆患者的临床特征。使用痴呆时间模型，研究人员开发了单独的临床风险评分，将血压变异性纳入其中，以检测男性和女性的早期痴呆。这是一项重要的研究，因为随着全球人口老龄化，痴呆症的发病率预计会增加，并且当痴呆症被尽早诊断出来时，患者得到的帮助最大。然而，也有一些可能的局限性，作者没有完全解决。Zhou等人写道，研究中纳入的患者“在2000年1月1日至2002年3月31日期间入住政府资助的家庭医学诊所”，并“从入院之日起随访至2019年12月31日”。1在这项研究中，痴呆的诊断是根据ICD-9编码确定的。1
In their recent article,“Gender-specific clinical risk scores incorporating blood pressure variability for predicting incident dementia,” Zhou et al 1 used electronic health records to describe the clinical characteristics of patients who developed dementia. Using time-to-dementia models, the researchers developed separate clinical risk scores incorporating blood pressure variability to detect early dementia in males and females. This was an important study since dementia rates are expected to increase as the global population ages and patients are helped most significantly when dementia is diagnosed as early as possible. However, there are some possible limitations that the authors did not fully address.Zhou et al wrote that the patients included in the study were “admitted to government-funded family medicine clinics between January 1, 2000 and March 31, 2002” and “were followed up from their admission date until December 31, 2019.” 1 In this study, diagnosis of dementia was identified from ICD-9 codes. 1
