Construction of assessment index system for stress on medical resources related to severe COVID-19 based on analytical network process
Objective To construct the assessment system for evaluating stress on medical resources caused by severe coronavirus disease 2019(COVID-19)during the COVID-19 pandemic,so as to monito the stress of medical resources and provide a reference tool for rational allocation of resources.Methods Literature review and expert consultation were used to construct the assessment system,and analytic networl process was used to determine the weight of the assessment indexes.Results The assessment systen for evaluating stress on medical resources caused by severe COVID-19 consisted of 4 primary indexes(population infection,in-hospital treatment,pre-hospital emergency care and vaccination)and 16 secondary indexes.The weight coefficients of primary indexes ranged from 0.1380 to 0.3097 and the coefficients of the secondary indexes ranged from 0.0149 to 0.1288.Conclusions The system may be used as an auxiliary too for evaluating medical resources stress caused by severe COVID-19 during COVID-19 pandemic.
