ABSTRACT
AIM: To explore the prevalence and influencing factors of poor vision among 3 014 primary school students in Wucheng District, Jinhua City, in order to provide evidence for the intervention measures of poor vision.METHODS: Using a cross-sectional study, a self-designed questionnaire was done, including general conditions and influencing factors of vision. The international standard logarithmic visual acuity chart was used for visual acuity detection. The risk factors that were statistically significant among the single factor groups were used as independent variables for multivariate Logistic regression analysis.RESULTS: A total of 1 367 students with poor vision were detected, the detection rate was 45.36%, among which mild poor vision rare was 26.08%; moderate rate was 11.51%; and severe rate was 7.76%. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that senior grades, parental myopia, daily insufficient sleep and outdoor activity, overuse of electronics or computers and no eye exercise were risk factors for poor vision.CONCLUSION: The rate of poor vision among the primary school students was severe, schools should take measures to improve and prevent students' poor vision by increasing outdoor activity time, correcting poor reading and writing posture, and reducing the time spent on electronic products.
ABSTRACT
ObjectiveTo retrospectively analyze the effect of modified Shugan Dingji Decoction （疏肝定悸汤） on the occurrence of endpoint events in patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation of liver constraint and qi stagnation. MethodsA retrospective cohort study was conducted using the electronic medical record database of Longhua Hospital affiliated to Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine to screen and include patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation of liver constraint and qi stagnation from January 1st， 2018， to December 31th， 2021. The included patients were divided into an exposure group and a non-exposure group， each consisting of 100 cases， based on whether they received modified Shugan Dingji Decoction. General information of the patients including age， gender， body mass index， duration of illness and comorbidities， medication history， cardiac structure and function indicators such as left atrial diameter， left ventricular end-diastolic diameter， stroke volume and ejection fraction， and the occurrence of endpoint events assessed through 24-hour dynamic electrocardiography or electrocardiogram to determine the recurrence of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation were collected. Kaplan-Meier （K-M） curves and Log-Rank tests were used to conduct survival analysis on the occurrence of endpoint events in the two groups of patients. Univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses were used to analyze the impact of various factors on entry into endpoint events. Additionally， a safety assessment was performed by comparing liver and kidney function indicators before and after treatment. ResultsIn the non-exposure group， a total of 49 cases （49.0%） experienced endpoint events， while in the exposure group， there were 26 cases （26.0%）. The Log-rank test indicated significant difference between the two groups （χ2=11.211， P=0.001）. Univariate Cox regression analysis showed that age， duration of illness， hypertension， diabetes， chronic heart failure， left atrial diameter， stroke volume， and the use of modified Shugan Dingji Decoction may be the influencing factors for the occurrence of endpoint events in patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation of liver constraint and qi stagnation （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）. Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that the risk of endpoint events in the exposure group was significantly lower than that in the non-exposure group （P＜0.01）. Patients with a duration of illness ＞12 months had a significantly higher risk of endpoint events compared to those with a duration of illness ≤12 months （P＜0.01）. Patients without concomitant hypertension had a lower risk of endpoint events compared to those with hypertension （P＜0.05）. Patients with left atrial diameter ＞40 mm had significantly higher risk of endpoint events than those with left atrial diameter ≤40 mm （P＜0.01）. There was no statistically significant difference in liver and kidney function indicators between the two groups before and after treatment （P＞0.05）. ConclusionThe use of modified Shugan Dingji Decoction is a protective factor for patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation of liver constraint and qi stagnation， which can help to reduce the recurrence and progression of atrial fibrillation. Long duration of illness， concomitant hypertension， and enlarged left atrial diameter are risk factors for patients to experience endpoint events.
ABSTRACT
The idea of online purchases is becoming more popular as a result of the development in the fields of information and technology. People now look for alternate options for purchasing because they do not have enough time to directly go to a store to place an order. Nowadays, individuals prefer to make online purchases, use credit or debit cards to pay their utility bills, and have goods delivered to their doorstep at a cheaper and more attractive price. The current study was carried out to assess influencing factors in Karaikudi town and to rank influencing factors with online shopping. Primary data have been collected from 120 respondents in the study area with the help of an interview schedule. Percentage analysis and the ranking method were used to analyse the collected data. The findings of the study reveal that majority of the respondents (55.83%) are male, most of the respondents (35.84%) belong to the age group upto 25, and 34.17% of the respondents purchased clothing through online shopping
ABSTRACT
In recent years, the incidence of myopia in adolescents has been increasing year by year, and how to effectively control the development of myopia has become a research hotspot in the field of public health.The orthokeratology lens has been widely used in myopia control because of its great safety, reliability, and little impact on daily life.The cornea after overnight orthokeratology lens wear can be divided into a relatively flat central treatment zone and a steep peripheral defocus zone.Decentration of the treatment zone is common in clinical practice and is mainly located in the inferior temporal quadrant.Studies have shown that the greater the asymmetry of the anterior corneal surface, the greater the degree of myopia at baseline, and the smaller the diameter of the lens, the greater the deviation of the treatment zone.In addition, decentration of the treatment zone is also related to the gravity of the lens, Bell phenomenon, eyelid, and so on.Large decentration of the treatment zone results in decreased visual quality, including clinical symptoms such as ghosting vision and glare, which may be caused by the increase in comatic aberration.Decentration of the treatment zone may have better myopia control, due to the increase of defocus in the pupil area.Obvious decentration of the treatment zone can be solved by increasing the sagittal height, adjusting the alignment curve, increasing the lens diameter and switching to toric lenses, etc.This article reviewed the factors that affect the decentration of the treatment zone after overnight orthokeratology wear, the influence of decentration on visual quality and myopia control, and the methods to help solve the problems caused by the decentration of the treatment zone, which can guide fitting and replacement of orthokeratology lenses.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To explore the pupil size distribution of the Chinese myopic population under different mesopic conditions, and to analyze the possible influencing factors.Methods:A cross-sectional study was conducted.Two hundred and fourteen myopic patients (428 eyes) who underwent refractive surgery in Tianjin Eye Hospital from December 2018 to April 2019 were randomly selected.The patients were 17 to 45 years old, with an average age of (22.62±4.88) years old.The patients were divided into astigmatism <-1.5 D group (372 eyes) and astigmatism ≥-1.5 D group (56 eyes) according to their astigmatism measurements.The low mesopic pupil size (LMPS) (0.2 lx) was measured with the infrared Colvard pupillometer, and the high mesopic pupil size (HMPS) (6-12 lx) was obtained through the anterior Pentacam segment analyzer.The pupil size was compared between both eyes, different sexes and different astigmatism measurements.The relationship between pupil size and possible influencing factors, such as age, sex, spherical equivalent, spherical diopter, cylinder diopter, axis, mean keratometry(Km), and central cornea thickness was analyzed.This study adhered to the Declaration of Helsinki.The study protocol was approved by the Ethics Committee of Tianjin Eye Hospital (No.201912). Written informed consent was obtained from each subject or their guardians.Results:The pupil sizes measured by the Colvard pupillometer and Pentacam were (6.806±0.776)mm and (3.312±0.540)mm, respectively.The pupil size of male subjects was (6.692±0.754)mm, which was larger than (6.668±0.792)mm of females, showing a statistically significant difference ( t=2.935, P=0.004). Under the high mesopic condition, the pupil size of astigmatism ≥-1.5 D group was lower than that of astigmatism <-1.5 D group, with a statistically significant difference ( t=2.611, P=0.009). Under the low mesopic condition, pupil size was negatively correlated with age and Km ( r=-0.213, -0.210; both at P<0.001). Under the high mesopic condition, pupil size was weakly positively correlated with cylinder power ( r=0.124, P=0.010) and was weakly negatively correlated with Km ( r=-0.142, P=0.003). The multiple linear regression analysis revealed that the LMPS=0.659×HMPS-0.019×age-0.084×Km+ 8.662.About 28% of pupil size under low mesopic conditions could be predicted by Pentacam.LMPS of ≤7 mm could be better predicted when the results were below 3.6 mm. Conclusions:Age and corneal curvature are influencing factors of mesopic pupil size.Older people with steep curvature have a smaller pupil.At high mesopic conditions, astigmatism affects pupil size.Pentacam measurements can predict LMPS to some degree but are not a substitute for dark-adapted pupil diameter.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To study the correlation of bone metabolism biomarkers between newborn twins and their mothers during pregnancy.Methods:From January 1, 2018 to June 30, 2022, newborn twins with mild symptoms admitted to the neonatal department of our hospital were retrospectively reviewed. The clinical data of the twins and their mothers were collected, including bone metabolism biomarkers of the twins within 3 d after birth and their mothers within last month during pregnancy. The twins were assigned into different groups according to gestational age(GA), birth weight(BW), the relationship between BW and GA(appropriate for GA(AGA),small for GA(SGA) and large for GA(LGA), birth season, gender, and the mothers' age, ethnicity, pre-delivery body mass index (BMI), gestational BMI increase, number of births and chorionic properties. The correlations of bone metabolism biomarkers between the twins and their mothers were analyzed.Results:A total of 302 pairs of twins were included. The incidence of insufficient or deficient serum 25-(OH)D 3 was 97.4% among the mothers, and 87.7% among the twins. The levels of blood phosphorus ( r=0.262, P<0.001) and 25-(OH)D 3 ( r=0.239, P=0.002) in mothers were positively correlated with the twin with larger BW. No significant differences existed in 25-(OH)D 3 between genders, AGA,SGA and LGA, birth season, and mothers' age, ethnicity, pre-delivery BMI, gestational BMI increase and chorionic properties( P>0.05). 25-(OH)D 3 in the twins were positively correlated with BW and 25-(OH)D 3 of mothers before delivery ( P<0.05) and negatively correlated with number of births ( P<0.05). Conclusions:In most mothers and their newborn twins, 25-(OH)D 3 are insufficient or deficient. The levels of blood phosphorus and 25-(OH) D 3 are correlated between the newborns and their mothers. The lower the BW of the newborn, the more times the mother give birth and the lower the mother's pre-delivery 25-(OH)D 3 level, the lower the newborn's 25-(OH)D 3 level.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate the clinical efficacy of modified biliary-intestinal anasto-mosis by pancreaticoduodenectomy and influencing factors of postoperative biliary leakage.Methods:The propensity score matching and retrospective cohort study was conducted. The clinicopatholo-gical data of 165 patients with benign and malignant diseases around the ampullary who underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy in the Affiliated Hospital of Inner Mongolia Medical University from June 2014 to October 2020 were collected. There were 92 males and 73 females, aged (59±10)years. Of the 165 patients, 44 patients undergoing modified biliary-intestinal anastomosis within pancreatico-duodenectomy were divided into the modified group, and 121 patients undergoing traditional biliary-intestinal anastomosis within pancreaticoduodenectomy were divided into the traditional group. Observation indicators: (1) propensity score matching and comparison of general data of patients between the two groups after matching; (2) intraoperative and postoperative situations; (3) analysis of influencing factors of biliary leakage after pancreaticoduodenectomy. Propensity score matching was done by the 1:1 nearest neighbor matching method, with the caliper setting as 0.05. Measurement data with normal distribution were represented as Mean± SD, and comparison between groups was conducted using the t test. Measurement data with skewed distribution were represented as M( Q1, Q3), and comparison between groups was conducted using the Mann-Whitney U test. Count data were described as absolute numbers, and comparison between groups was conducted using the chi-square test or Fisher exact probability. Univariate analysis was conducted using the corresponding statistical methods based on data type. All indicators in univariate analysis were included in multivariate analysis. Multivariate analysis was conducted using the Logistic regression model. Results:(1) Propensity score matching and comparison of general data of patients between the two groups after matching. Of the 165 patients, 72 cases were successfully matched, including 36 cases in the modified group and 36 cases in the traditional group, respectively. The elimination of jaundice, preoperative reduction of jaundice and hypertension confounding bias ensured comparability between the two groups after propensity score matching. (2) Intraoperative and postoperative situations. All patients in the two groups underwent surgery successfully. The operation time, postoperative pathological type (lower bile duct cancer, pancreatic head cancer, pancreatic cystic tumor, chronic pancreatitis, duodenal cancer), time of no drainage fluid in the drainage tube around biliary-intestinal anastomosis were 371(270,545)minutes, 6, 12, 1, 2, 15, (12±7)days in patients of the modified group, versus 314(182,483) minutes, 13, 14, 1, 4, 4, (16±8)days in patients of the traditional group, showing significant differences in the above indicators between the two groups ( Z=-3.54, χ2=10.01, t=-2.34, P<0.05). Cases with postoperative grade A biliary leakage was 0 in patients of the modified group, versus 6 in patients of the traditional group, showing a significant difference between the two groups ( P<0.05). Cases with postoperative grade B biliary leakage, cases with postoperative grade B pancreatic fistula, cases with postoperative bleeding, cases with abdominal infection, cases with incision infection, cases with delayed gastric emptying, cases undergoing unplanned readmission were 1, 0, 1, 4, 1, 5, 1 in patients of the modified group, versus 0, 1, 2, 5, 2, 5, 2 in patients of the traditional group, showing no significant difference in the above indicators between the two groups ( P>0.05). Cases with postoperative grade A pancreatic fistula, cases with overall complications, cases with Clavien-Dindo grade Ⅰ-Ⅱ complications, cases with Clavien-Dindo grade Ⅲ-Ⅳ complications were 6, 12, 6, 6 in patients of the modified group, versus 7, 14, 8, 6 in patients of the traditional group, showing no significant difference in the above indicators between the two groups ( χ2=0.09, 0.24, 0.36, 0.00, P>0.05). None of patient in the two groups had postoperative grade C biliary leakage and postoperative grade C pancreatic fistula. (3) Analysis of influencing factors of biliary leakage after pancreaticoduodenectomy. Results of multivariate analysis showed that preoperative reduction of jaundice and traditional biliary-intestinal anastomosis were independent risk factors for biliary leakage after pancreaticoduodenectomy ( odds ratio=11.37, 12.27, 95% confidence interval as 1.76-73.35, 1.14-131.23, P<0.05). Conclusions:Compared with traditional biliary-intestinal anastomosis, modified biliary-intestinal anastomosis within pancreaticoduodenectomy is safe and feasible. Preoperative reduction of jaundice and traditional biliary-intestinal anastomosis are independent risk factors for biliary leakage after pancreaticoduodenectomy.

Objective:To explore the development trajectory and influencing factors of pediatric medical traumatic stress in parents of children undergoing surgery, so as to provide reference for targeted intervention measures in the later stage.Methods:Adopting prospective research design, from January 2022 to August 2022, convenience sampling was used to recruit 199 parents of children undergoing surgery in the pediatric surgery ward of the First Affiliated Hospital of University of Science and Technology of China as subjects. The level of medical traumatic stress symptoms in parents was investigated by the PTSD Checklist for DSM-5 at one day before surgery, during postoperative recovery, after discharge and 3 months after discharge. The general data questionnaire, Parents′ Perception of Uncertainty Scale, Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, Simplified Coping Style Questionnaire and Perceived Social Support Scale were used to investigate the influencing factors of medical traumatic stress symptoms in parents one day before the operation.Latent growth mixture model and binary Logistic regression were used to analyze the data.Results:The development trajectory of pediatric medical traumatic stress in parents of children undergoing surgery was divided into two categories: the first was low-level decline (90.5%, 180/199) and the second was high-level stability (9.5%, 19/199). Binary Logistic regression analysis showed that postoperative complications, surgical type and negative coping styles of parents were the main influencing factors of pediatric medical traumatic stress trajectory in parents of surgical children(all P<0.05). Conclusions:The pediatric medical traumatic stress in parents of children undergoing surgery have group heterogeneity trajectory, medical staff can formulate targeted and individualized intervention programs according to their trajectories and influencing factors.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate the intention to participate in health care in transitional children and adolescents with diabetes and analyze its influencing factors.Methods:This was a cross-sectional survey study. From March to October 2021, 185 children and adolescents with diabetes were selected as research subjects by convenience sampling method from People′s Hospital Affiliated to Jiangsu University. General data questionnaire, Participation in Health Care Intention Questionnaire, Health Literacy Scale and Diabetes Self-management Scale were used to investigate, and multiple linear regression was used to analyze the influencing factors of the population′s intention to participate in health care.Results:The transitional children and adolescents with diabetes participation in health care intention total score was (124.87 ± 16.31) points, the health literacy total score was (33.70 ± 4.38) points, diabetes self-management total score was (35.11 ± 5.19) points. The regression analysis found that age, course of the disease, diabetes type, family structure modes, health literacy, and self-management ability were the main factors influencing adolescents involved in health care intention ( t values were -1.99-2.66, all P<0.05), including health literacy ability and disease management ability was positively correlated with the disease ( r = 0.250, 0.232, both P<0.01). Conclusions:The transitional children and adolenscents with diabetes have a medium level of intention to participate in health care. The transitional children and adolenscents with older age, longer disease course and nuclear family structure had higher levels of health care intention. The higher the level of health literacy and self-management, the higher the level of intention to participate in health care, medical staff should take targeted measures to improve the intention to participate in health care, promote this group to improve disease management ability and quality of life.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate the medication adherence and its influencing factors in young newly diagnosed pulmonary tuberculosis patients during different treatment periods, in order to provide a theoretical basis for formulating precise medication management strategies and thus improving the treatment success rate.Methods:A cross-sectional survey was conducted using a stratified random sampling method to select 283 young newly diagnosed pulmonary tuberculosis patients who visited and registered in the Kashgar region of Xinjiang from September 2021 to February 2022. The patients were divided into three groups according to the treatment time of receiving standard chemotherapy regimen: A (1-2 months of medication), B (3-4 months of medication), and C (5-6 months of medication), with 77, 89, and 117 cases, respectively. The clinical data of tuberculosis patients were collected by using the general information questionnaire,Eight-Item Morisky Medication Adherence Scale and Tuberculosis Medication Adherence Scale for tuberculosis patients.Results:Those who take medication well of three groups of young newly treated pulmonary tuberculosis patients were 93.5% (72/77), 89.9% (80/89), and 82.1% (96/117), respectively. The difference among the three groups was statistically significant ( χ2=6.23, P<0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that social support was an influential factor for the 1st to 2nd month of medication ( OR=0.536, P<0.05); treatment confidence and psychological status were influential factors for the 3rd to 4th month of medication ( OR=0.668, 2.212, both P<0.05); comorbidity, social support, psychological status, and coping style were influential factors for the 5th to 6th month of medication ( OR values were 0.428 - 9.518, all P<0.05). Conclusions:The relevant factors that affect medication adherence vary among young newly diagnosed pulmonary tuberculosis patients at different stages of treatment. Accurate medication management strategies should be developed based on the influencing factors at each stage.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To explore the potential categories of post-operative supportive care demand trajectory for patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), analyze the influencing factors, and propose targeted interventions.Methods:This was a prospective observational study. A convenient sampling method was used to select 177 NSCLC patients who received surgical treatment in Shanghai Lung Hospital Affiliated to Tongji University from January 2021 to February 2022. The Supportive Care Demand Scale for cancer patients was used to investigate the level of patients′supportive care demand 1 day before operation, 3 days after operation, 1 day before discharge, 1 week after discharge, 1 month after discharge, and 3 months after discharge, and the potential growth model was used to identify the trajectory category and multi category Logistic regression analysis was used to explore the influencing factors.Results:Three supportive care demand trajectories were fitted out in this study, which were the continuous high demand group (46.33%), the slowly decreasing demand group (30.51%), and the low decreasing demand group (23.16%). With the potential category group 3, low demand reduction group as the reference category, Logistic regression analysis showed that high psychological distress, low social support, high disease stage, high comorbidities were more likely to enter the continuous high demand group ( OR = 0.826 to 18.526, all P<0.05), and high education level (college education and above and high school) were more likely to enter the slowly decreasing demand group ( OR = 6.076, 4.199, both P<0.05). Conclusions:The demand track of NSCLC patients for supportive care after surgery has population heterogeneity. Clinical medical staff should provide personalized social support and emotional support for patients with high disease stage, more complications and low education level in the early postoperative period.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate the demand and influencing factors of home care social support services for the elderly with dementia in urban areas, and provide a decision-making basis for improving home care social support services for the elderly with dementia.Methods:This was a cross-sectional study. From March 2021 to March 2022, 386 family caregivers of elderly people with dementia were randomly selected from tertiary hospitals in four central urban areas of Wuhan by stratified sampling method. A questionnaire was used to investigate the current situation and attributes of the demand for home care social support services for the elderly with dementia in urban areas. The importance of the demand for home care social support services for the elderly with dementia in urban areas was calculated by the Better-Worse coefficient method and sensitivity formula method. The optimal scale regression model was used to analyze the influencing factors and influencing forces of independent variables on service demand.Results:The score of social support service demand for home care was (88.6 ± 29.71) points. The Better coefficient of demand for all social support services was greater than the absolute value of the Worse coefficient. One requirement (pressure ulcer prevention and treatment guidance) was a one-dimensional attribute, and the remaining 29 items were charm attributes. The top 6 items in importance ranking were 2 items of informational support (pressure ulcer prevention and treatment guidance; telephone counselling guidance for family caregivers), 1 items of instrumental support (financial assistance for family caregivers) and 3 items of social companionship support(cultural recreation/physical activity activities, door-to-door accompaniment, accompany the elderly to social activities).

The gender, education level, number of children of the elderly with dementia, age,education level, self rated physical condition of family caregivers, the average monthly income of families, and the relationship between family caregivers and the elderly with dementia were the influencing factors of self-esteem support (all P<0.05). The educational level, marital status, type of dementia of the elderly with dementia, educational level, self rated physical condition of family caregivers, the average monthly income of the family, and the relationship between family caregivers and the elderly with dementia were the influencing factors of informational support (all P <0.05). The educational level and type of dementia of the elderly with dementia, the educational level, self rated physical condition of family caregivers, and the average monthly income of families were the influencing factors of social companionship support (all P <0.05). The type of dementia of the elderly with dementia, the self rated physical condition of family caregivers, the average monthly income of families, and the relationship between family caregivers and elderly relatives were the influencing factors of instrumental support (all P <0.05). Five times for caregiver human resources, 3 times for family economic resources and 3 times for the elderly with dementia, and 1 time for relatives resource factors were the top 3 times of independent variable influence force entered the ranking. Conclusions:The demand for social support services for home care of the elderly with dementia is low, with the characteristics of expectant tendency and centralized demand.

ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate the status quo and influencing factors of decision-making regret of surrogate decision makers (SDMs) in neurocritically ill patients.Methods:This study was a cross-sectional survey. A total of 110 critically ill patients admitted to Department of Neurosurgery, First Affiliated Hospital of Anhui University of Traditional Chinese Medicine from August 2021 to April 2022 were selected as the research objects by convenient sampling method. Different methods were adopted in the research including general information questionnaire, Chinese Version of Decision-Making Regret Assessment Scale, Disease-Related Knowledge Awareness Questionnaire, General Self-Efficacy Scale, Self-Rating Anxiety Scale, Self-Rating Depression Scale to conduct a questionnaire survey on SDMs in neurocritically ill patients. Multiple linear stepwise regression was used to analyze the influencing factors of decision-making regret in SDMs in neurocritically ill patients.Results:Among the 110 patients with severe neurological diseases, 50.0% (55/110) had no regret, 30.9% (34/110) had mild regret, and 19.1 (21/110) had moderate and severe regret. The results of univariate analysis showed that gender had a statistically significant effect on the score of SDMs decision regret in neurocritical patients ( t=6.57, P<0.05). The age, relationship with patients, education level, decision-making style, place of residence, and monthly income of the family had no effect on the score of regret in decision-making ( t=0.09-1.01, all P>0.05). The results of correlation analysis showed that the score of decision-making regret of SDMs in neurocritically ill patients was negatively correlated with the scores of disease-related knowledge and self-efficacy ( r=-0.342, -0.252, both P<0.05), and positively correlated with the scores of anxiety and depression ( r=0.403, 0.360, both P<0.05). The results of multiple linear regression showed that gender, disease-related knowledge, self-efficacy, anxiety and depression were important factors affecting the decision-making regret of SDMs in neurocritically ill patients ( t values were -3.37-4.31, all P<0.05). Conclusions:SDMs in neurocritically ill patients have a higher degree of decision-making regret, and gender, disease-related knowledge, self-efficacy, anxiety, depression are important influencing factors, suggesting that medical staff can alleviate the decision-making regret of SDMs through decision-making assistance interventions.
