Objective:To explore the behavior and influencing factors of mobile health (m-Health) information searching among patients with cancer, aiming to provide evidence for the provision of medical health information.Methods:A cross-sectional survey was conducted.A total of 535 patients with cancer were recruited from a cancer hospital in Zhejiang Province from September to December 2017.Measurement tools included the demographic information questionnaire, mobile health information search behavior questionnaire, mobile health information search environment questionnaire, cancer needs questionnaires-short form and ehealth literacy scale.SPSS 26.0 was used for descriptive statistical analysis, one-way analysis of variance, Pearson correlation analysis and multiple linear regression analysis.Results:The total score of mobile health information search behavior of cancer patients was (60.84±9.60), and 66.5% of participants reported that they "never" or "occasionally" searched health information via mobile.The total score of information needs was (80.99±27.86), electronic health literacy was (26.54±7.85), mobile health information search environment was (8.00±2.86). m-Health information search behavior was positively correlated with information needs ( r=0.251, P<0.01), ehealth literacy ( r=0.538, P<0.01), and m-Health information search environment ( r=0.267, P<0.01). The stepwise regression analysis revealed that the place of residence, working status, income level, ehealth literacy, mobile health information search environment and information needs were statistically significant associated with the m-Health information searching behavior among cancer patients, which accounted for 39.3% of the total variance ( F=12.151, P<0.01). Compared with patients living in the central cities, those living in the small and medium-sized cities( β=0.092, P=0.031) had higher score in m-Health information behavior.Compared with patients working on normal schedule, those took sick days ( β=0.156, P=0.017) and working fewer hours ( β=0.138, P=0.002) had higher score m-Health information behavior.Compared with patients with monthly income of 1 000-3 000 yuan ( β=-0.194, P=0.002), those with monthly income less than 1 000 yuan had higher score in m-Health information behavior.The ehealth literacy ( β=0.425, P=0.000), mobile health information search environment ( β=0.179, P=0.000) and information needs ( β=0.091, P=0.027) were positive influencing factors of m-Health information search behavior. Conclusion:Patients with cancer did not report high m-Health information search behavior.Place of residence, working status, income level, ehealth literacy, m-Health information search environment and information demand were the influencing factors of m-Health information search behavior among patients with cancer.

Objective To identify the risk factors of early post-surgical recurrence of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) within 2 years.Methods This retrospective study included 178 consecutive patients with HCC who underwent curative resection between January 2009 to December 2012 at Zhongshan Hospital,Fudan University.There were 151 males and 27 females,with a mean age of (58±11) years.The CT features including rim enhancement,satellite nodule,two-trait predictor of venous invasion (TTPVI),and nonsmooth tumor margins were reviewed.After hospital discharge,the patients were followed-up regularly for at least 2 years to detect tumor recurrence.The primary end point was recurrence of HCC.Results On univariate analyses AFP ≥ 200 μg/L,rim enhancement,TTPVI,non-smooth tumor margins and largest diameter >5 cm were correlated with early post-surgical recurrence of HCC.On multivariate analyses,AFP≥200 pg/L (HR=2.144,95%CI:1.350~ 3.406),rim enhancement (HR =2.196,95% CI:1.345 ~ 3.587),TTPVI (HR=1.735,95%CI:1.086~2.772),and non-smooth tumor margins (HR=2.065,95%CI:1.242~3.432) were independent risk factors of early post-surgical recurrence of HCC.Conclusion AFP≥200 μg/L,rim enhancement,TTPVI,and non-smooth tumor margins were independent risk factors of early post-surgical recurrence of HCC.
