Abstract

Hong Kong, Singapore, and Beijing have some of the highest numbers of international arrivals and densest living spaces globally, yet these cities have reported low numbers of deaths amid the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak. Primary care has played different roles in each of the health systems in combatting the pandemic. Both Hong Kong and Singapore have a 2-tiered health system with the majority of primary care provided in the private sector. The primary care system in Beijing consists of community health facilities, township health centers, and village clinics. The role of primary care in Hong Kong includes using the public primary care clinics as part of an enhanced surveillance program together with accident and emergency departments, as well as triaging patients with suspected infection to hospitals. Singapore's response to COVID-19 has included close cooperation between redeveloped polyclinics and private and public health preparedness clinics to provide screening with swab tests for suspected cases in the primary care setting. Beijing's unique response has consisted of using online platforms for general practitioners to facilitate monitoring among community residents, as well as public health education and a mobilized pharmacy refill program to reduce risk of transmission. Established challenges, however, include shortages of personal protective equipment and the heavy workload for health care staff. Regardless, all 3 cities have demonstrated enhanced preparedness since experiencing the severe acute respiratory syndrome epidemic, and the responses of their primary care systems therefore may offer learning points for other countries during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Hypertension -- China, Beijing, China -- Health aspects
Abstract

Community-oriented primary care (COPC) provides a framework for identifying and addressing a defined community's health and health care needs. The research reported upon here is based on a community health survey in a new suburban neighborhood (Tayuan region) in the Haidian district of Beijing, conducted by the Beijing Medical University Department of Preventive Medicine and Health Care, to serve as a basis for planning health care services for the residents in that community. The analyses focus on the prevalence and predictors of hypertension among older adult residents (those 45 years of age and older). Based on logistic regression analyses, the odds ratios (in parentheses) confirm that individuals with a family history of cardiovascular disease were more likely to have been diagnosed as hypertensive (1.57). Hypertensives were also more likely to have uncontrolled systolic (3.85) or diastolic (4.75) blood pressure and associated behavioral and biologic risks, such as obesity (1.87) and renal damage (2.60). These risks were even greater among current or former smokers. These analyses will inform the design of community-oriented primary care interventions in that particular community in the People's Republic of China. They also signal important implications and highlight practical methods for assessing and targeting interventions in U.S. communities facing comparable, but unexamined, risks.

Abstract

The relationship between air pollution and daily mortality in 1989 was examined in two residential areas in Beijing, China. Very high concentrations of sulfur dioxide ([SO.sub.2]) (mean = 102 [mu]g/[m.sup.3], maximum = 630 [mu]g/[m.sup.3]) and total suspended particulates (TSPs) (mean = 375 [mu]g/[m.sup.3], maximum = 1 003 [mu]g/[m.sup.3]) were observed in these areas. Daily co of deaths were regressed, using Poisson regression on the logarithm of ([SO.sub.2]) and/or TSPs controlling for effects of temperature, humidity, and day of week. A highly significant association was found between In([SO.sub.2]) and daily mortality. The risk of total mortality was estimated to increase by 11% (95% confidence interval [95% CI] = 5%-16%) with each doubling in [SO.sub.2] concentration. Separately, the association of In(TSP) with total daily mortality was positive but not significant (4% increase in mortality with each doubling in TSP; 95% CI = - 2%-11%). When mortality was analyzed separately by cause, the association with a doubling in [SO.sub.2] was significant for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (29%), pulmonary heart disease (19%), and cardiovascular disease (11%), and marginally significant for the other nonmalignant causes (8%), but not statistically significant for cancer (2%). A similar association was noted for a doubling in TSP (4%, 38%, and 8% for total, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and pulmonary heart disease mortality, respectively), but the result was only statistically significant for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. In the season-specific analysis, both [SO.sub.2] and TSP were found to be significant predictors of total daily mortality in summer. In winter, [SO.sub.2] was again significantly associated with increased mortali but no positive association was found between TSP and mortality. In the cause-specific analysis, the strongest effects of [SO.sub.2] and TSP on mortality were consistently seen for respir diseases in both seasons. This study shows increased mortality associated with air pollution at [SO.sub.2] pollution levels below the current WHO recommendations., EXCESS MORTALITY in London during the December 1952 smog episode was clearly associated with the extremely high particulate and sulfur dioxide ([SO.sub.2]) pollution concentrations.[1] Analyses of daily mortality in subsequent [...]
