“…This regional variation may be related to the unequal distribution of health care resources [ 69 ] and the gap in health literacy [ 70 ]. The enhanced supply of health resources has positive implications for population health [ 71 ], while low health literacy may result in under-utilisation of health resources and increased death risk [ 72 ]. Recently, with the promotion of national propaganda and education, the health literacy level of residents in the western region and the supply of medical resources have been continuously optimised, but still lag behind those in other regions [ 46 , 70 , 73 ].…”

Background Due to their known variation by geography and economic development, we aimed to evaluate the incidence and mortality of colorectal cancer (CRC) in China over the past decades and identify factors associated with CRC among the Chinese population to provide targeted information on disease prevention. Methods We conducted a systemic review and meta-analysis of epidemiolocal studies on the incidence, mortality, and associated factors of CRC among the Chinese population, extracting and synthesising data from eligible studies retrieved from seven global and Chinese databases. We pooled age-standardised incidence rates (ASIRs) and mortality rates (ASMRs) for each province, subregion, and the whole of China, and applied a joinpoint regression model and annual per cent changes (APCs) to estimate the trends of CRC incidence and mortality. We conducted random-effects meta-analyses to assess the effect estimates of identified associated risk factors. Results We included 493 articles; 271 provided data on CRC incidence or mortality, and 222 on associated risk factors. Overall, the ASIR of CRC in China increased from 2.75 to 19.39 (per 100 000 person-years) between 1972 and 2019 with a slowed-down growth rate (APC 1 = 5.75, APC 2 = 0.42), while the ASMR of CRC decreased from 12.00 to 7.95 (per 100 000 person-years) between 1974 and 2020 with a slight downward trend (APC = -0.89). We analysed 62 risk factors with synthesized data; 16 belonging to the categories of anthropometrics factors, lifestyle factors, dietary factors, personal histories and mental health conditions were graded to be associated with CRC risk among the Chinese population in the meta-analysis limited to the high-quality studies. Conclusions We found substantial variation of CRC burden across regions and provinces of China and identified several associated risk factors for CRC, which could help to guide the formulation of targeted disease prevention and control strategies.

“…Building on existing research and the health industry’s characteristics, four secondary indicators and nine tertiary indicators were chosen. These include human resources for health ( 23 , 24 ), physical resources for health ( 25 , 26 ), health service efficiency ( 27 , 28 ), and disease prevention and control ( 29 , 30 ), forming an evaluation system to assess China’s health service supply level ( 31 ). Health human resources and physical facilities reflect per capita healthcare resource supply, indicating a region’s healthcare service capacity.…”

BackgroundThe coordination of health service supply and regional economy is an integral path to promote China’s prosperity.MethodsBased on the coupling mechanism of health service supply and regional economy, we sampled the data from 30 provinces in China from 2009 to 2021 in this study and constructed the evaluation index system. Additionally, we calculated the coupling coordination degree (HED) of the two through the coupling coordination degree model. We further used the kernel density estimation, Moran’s I index, and spatial β convergence model to assess the dynamic evolution trends, spatial aggregation effect, and spatial convergence characteristics of coupling coordination.Conclusion(1) HED in China showed a rising trend during the study period but with large regional differences, forming a gradient distribution pattern of “high in the east and low in the west.” (2) The results of Kernel density estimation show that HED has formed a gradient differentiation phenomenon within each region in China. (3) HED has modeled spatial clustering characteristics during the study period, with high-value clusters mainly appearing in the eastern region and low-value clusters appearing in the northwestern region. (4) There are absolute β-convergence and conditional β-convergence trends in HED in China and the three major regions during the study period, but there is an obvious regional heterogeneity in the control factors. The research provides a reference for accurately implementing policies according to different levels of health service supply and economic development, in addition to narrowing the regional differences of the coupling coordination between the regional economy and health service supply.

“…The simple number of beds in hospital facilities is insufficient to grasp the complexity of the hospital efficiency; in fact, the following variables must also be considered: the Percent-age of Public Hospital Beds (PPHB), Bed Occupancy Rate (BOR), Average Length of Stay (ALS), Bed Turnover Rate (BTR) and Turnover Intervals (TI), Average Length Of Stay (AvLOS), Turnover Interval (TOI), Beds Turn Over (BTO) (Srimayarti et al, 2021). The increase in hospital beds in China during the period 2000-2010 is positively associated to the augment in life expectancy and negatively associated to infant mortality rate (Qiu et al, 2023). Considering the case of Japan, it is possible to observe that while on the one hand hospital beds in rehabilitative care have a positive effect on life expectancy and healthy life expectancy, on the other hand hospital beds in long-term care have a negative impact on life expectancy and a positive one on healthy life expectancy (Hosokawa el al., 2020).…”

In this article, we consider the determinants of the beds in healthcare facilities-BEDS in the Italian regions between 2004 and 2022. We use the ISTAT-BES database. We use different econometric techniques i.e.: Panel Data with Fixed Effects, Panel Data with Random Effects, Pooled Ordinary Least Squares-OLS, Weighted Least Squares-WLS, and Dynamic Panel at 1 Stage. The results show that the level of BEDS is positively associated, among others, to "General Doctors with a Number of Clients over the Threshold" and "Life Satisfaction", and negatively associated among others, to "Trust in Parties" and "Positive Judgment on Future Prospects". Furthermore, we apply a clusterization with the k-Means algorithm optimized with the Silhouette Coefficient and we find the presence of two clusters in terms of BEDS. Finally, we make a confrontation among eight machine-learning algorithms and we find that the best predictor is the ANN-Artificial Neural Network.
