How to assess multimorbidity: a systematic review by Li Yao, Li Yao, Qiaoxing Li, Yan Liu, Qinqin Li, Tingrui Wang, Zihan Zhou, Jiajia Yin

“…The search process adhered to the 2020 PRISMA guidelines for systematic review.Results54 literatures meeting the criteria were included, involving 54 evaluation methods of multiple chronic diseases. It can be divided into four categories: (1) assessment based on equal weight of disease count and disease severity; (2) based on physiological and psychological health status assessment; (3) evaluation based on drug use; (4) natural language processing evaluation system.ConclusionAttention should be paid to the assessment of patients with multiple chronic diseases, and standardized and unified assessment methods should be developed in the future to expand the coverage of diseases and deepen the depth of assessment, so as to provide more comprehensive and accurate health management for the growing number of patients with multiple chronic diseases.Without patient or public contributionThis systematic review is primarily based on the comprehensive analysis of published literature and did not involve new data collection or direct participation of patients, hence there was no direct contribution from patients or the public.Systematic review registrationhttps://www.crd.york.ac.uk/prospero/, CRD42024530474.…”

RESEARCH ON THE FITTING CLEARANCE BETWEEN FLANGE BORE AND SHAFT CONSIDERING MULTI-ERRORS COUPLING by NI WeiHua, JIANG XiaoHui

“…The mating state between a flange bore and a shaft and the position error for a flange shaft in a bore has an important influence on the assembly accuracy of precision products.In view of the fact that three-dimensional cylindricity was usually ignored in existing researches,a contact method was developed,which was based on equal vector judgment criterion and measured profile data of the parts.It can effectively determine the actual fitting clearance between bore and shaft taking threedimensional cylindricity errors into account.The effects of the cylindricity error and the number of lobes on the fitting clearance were analyzed in detail.The results indicate that the cylindricity error has significant influence on the actual fitting clearance.By the principal of error composition and neutralization,the actual fitting clearance between a flange bore and shaft was obtained considering the coupling of dimension errors,three-dimensional cylindricity errors and perpendicular errors.It is effective to preanalyze the position accuracy for a flange shaft in a flange bore.Then it can provide guidance for subsequent assembly processes to increase assembly efficiency and improve assembly accuracy of precision products before they are assembled.…”
