In 1989, researchers from Crete University in Crete and Lund University in Dalby, Sweden examined similarities and differences in the health care use pattern at the Spili Health Center (SHC) in Crete and at the Dalby Health Center (DHC) in Sweden. They also needed to establish a computerized medical record system in Greek primary health care. Essentially the same proportion of the population visited the 2 health centers (56% for SHC and 57% for DHC), but DHC patients made more frequent visits than did SHC patients (3.33 vs. 2.3). Yet there were more physicians per person in Spili than in Dalby (10.1 vs. 5.2/10,000 population). The mountainous terrain in an near Spili may have made it more difficult for people to go to the health center. Another possible explanation for the differences in number of visits for each patient in 1989 was that Swedes are perhaps more willing to go the health center for medical advice than the Cretes. 36% of visits to DHC were appointments compared with only 12.6% at SHC. In Crete, males were just as likely to visit the health center as females (55% vs. 57%), but females were more likely to visit the health center than males in Sweden (64% vs. 50%). People 65 years of age or older were more common in Spili than in Dalby (28% vs. 11%). Acute upper respiratory infections were the most common diagnoses in the 0-14 and 15-44 age groups. Head injuries were more common among 0-14 year old patients at SHC than their DHC counterparts (5% vs. 1.3%). Ear inflammation was the 2nd most common diagnosis at DHC but it was not 1 of the 10 most common diagnoses at SHC. This may have been due to better diagnostic abilities and modern equipment at DHC. Hypertension and diabetes mellitus predominated among 45 year old people.

Acute upper respiratory infection is one of the common infectious diseases,especially in the elderly people. Qingkailing Injection has the effect of clearing away heat and detoxifying. It can be used for external wind heat,upper respiratory tract infection,viral cold,etc. Based on 2 147 cases of upper respiratory tract infection patients using Qingkailing Injection in the medical electronic data warehouse of the information system of 16 large class-A hospitals constructed by the Institute of Basic Research in Clinical Medicine,China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences,description analysis,Apriori calculation and recurrent network analysis were used to analyze the effect of Qingkailing Injection on upper respiratory tract infection. The clinical characteristics and the law of combined use of drugs can provide reference for the mining of clinical diagnosis and treatment characteristics and the construction of optimal and effective programs and paths. 2 147 patients with upper respiratory tract infection who used Qingkailing Injection were mostly middle-aged and elderly people over 45 years old,often combined with hypertension,ischemic cerebrovascular disease,coronary heart disease,diabetes,etc.; in treatment,it was more common to use Qingkailing Injection in combination with hormones,antipyretics and analgesics,antibiotics,nutritional support agents,antitussive,expectorant and antiasthmatic drugs,as well as traditional Chinese medicine Jiebiao agents and blood management agents. The combination of potassium chloride injection and cephalosporin injection is the most commonly used in combination with two kinds of Western medicine( 33. 2%); the combination of Shuanghuanglian and Ganmao Qingre Granules is the most commonly used in combination with two kinds of traditional Chinese medicine( 9. 13%); through the calculation of complex network group module,it is found that Qingkailing Injection is often associated with antibiotics,antipyretic and analgesic drugs,antitussive,expectorant and antiasthmatic drugs,antiviral drugs and anti infection drugs. Drugs,nutritional support agents,bronchodilators,immunomodulators and other chemical drugs are often used in combination with Chinese medicine,such as Jiebiao agents,expectorants,Qingre agents,resuscitation agents,Qufeng agents,tonics,Liqi agents,which may be related to both the treatment of upper respiratory tract infection and the basic diseases of middle-aged and elderly patients,with the theoretical characteristics of " combination of disease and syndrome,corresponding formula and syndrome". Based on the real world big data complex network group module mining results provide clues for the clinical optimization scheme and path construction,and provide signals and ideas for further causal research.
