Evaluating the capacity of tertiary general hospitals in Beijing to prevent and treat respiratory infectious diseases: a delphi study.
Article in BMC infectious diseases, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundThe capacity of tertiary general hospitals to prevent and treat respiratory infectious diseases plays a key role in effectively containing the spread of major epidemics within hospitals and ensuring early treatment for patients. This, in turn, helps control the transmission of diseases at the societal level and safeguard public health. However, there is a lack of detailed indicators for assessing hospitals' capacity in this area, which makes it difficult to evaluate and manage practices. Therefore, this study aimed to develop a comprehensive evaluation index system to assess the capabilities of tertiary general hospitals in preventing and treating respiratory infectious diseases.
methodsThis study utilizes a three-dimensional evaluation model, "Structure-Process-Outcome" as the theoretical basis and first-level index of the indicator system for evaluating the abilities of tertiary general hospitals in preventing and treating respiratory infectious disease. A combination of literature review, semi-structured interviews, and Delphi expert consultation was employed to ensure comprehensive and reliable indicators. The hierarchical analysis method (AHP) was used to determine the weights of the indicators.
resultsThe effective response rates for the two rounds of the Delphi survey were 95.2% and 100%, respectively. The expert authority coefficients were 0.905 and 0.923, respectively. Kendall's W for the importance of all the indicators increased from 0.274 to 0.327 (P < 0.001), and for feasibility, it increased from 0.198 to 0.240 (P < 0.001). After two rounds of expert consultation, a final evaluation indicator system was established, including 3 first-level indicators, 12 s-level indicators, and 41 third-level indicators, with assigned weights.
conclusionThis study establishes a comprehensive evaluation index system, providing a scientific basis for evaluating the capacity of tertiary general hospitals to prevent and treat respiratory infectious diseases. The system provides valuable reference for improving hospital preparedness and response strategies, and for evaluating the infectious disease prevention and treatment system in Beijing, China.
