Objective:To compare the efficacy and safety of Dienogest(DNG)with other drugs in non-surgi-cal pharmacologic treatment and long-term management of drugs after conservative surgery for endometriosis(EMT).Methods:We searched PubMed,Embase,Medline,Google Scholar,Cochrane Library,China National Knowledge Infrastructure,Wanfang,and Weipu databases from the establishment of the database until December 31,2023 for relevant literature on EMT pharmacotherapy.Meta-analysis was performed using Stata 18.0 software to assess the efficacy of DNG,gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist(GnRH-a),compound short-acting oral contraceptive(COC)and levonorgestrel intrauterine sustained-release system(LNG-IUS)in reducing the diameter of ovarian endometrioma(OMA),relieving pelvic pain and preventing EMT postoperative recurrence in EMT pa-tients after non-surgical drug treatment and conservative surgery,as well as the adverse reactions of drugs.Re-sults:①During non-surgical medication treatment of EMT,there was no statistically significant difference(P＞0.05)between DNG and GnRH-a in reducing OMA diameter and relieving pelvic pain.Compared with COC,DNG was superior to COC in reducing the diameter of OMA(WMD 10.44 mm,P=0.017)and relieving pelvic pain(WMD 12.20 mm,P＜0.001).②During long-term medication management after conservative EMT surger-y:there was no statistically significant difference(P＞0.05)between DNG,GnRH-a,COC and LNG-IUS in re-ducing postoperative recurrence and controlling pelvic pain significant(P＞0.05).③Adverse drug reactions:com-pared with GnRH-a,DNG had a reduced risk of bone loss(bone density WMD2.78 g/cm3,P=0.038),hot fla-shes(OR 0.07,P＜0.001),and an increased risk of irregular vaginal bleeding(OR 19.10,P＜0.001);com-pared with COC,the risk of weight gain,mood abnormalities,and breast tenderness,nausea and vomiting,and sleep disorders in DNG were reduced(OR＜1,P＜0.05);compared with LNG-IUS,the risk of abnormalities of mood in DNG was increased(OR 9.87,P=0.033).Conclusions:DNG treatment is more effective than COC in non-surgical drug therapy for EMT.When supplemental medication was given after conservative EMT surgery,DNG,like other drugs,can effectively prevent postoperative recurrence and control pelvic pain.The safety of DNG is superior to GnRH-a and COC,slightly inferior to LNG-IUS.

Objective To analysis the current situation of hospitalized patients seeking medical treatment across different counties and the influencing factors from both the inflow and outflow perspectives.Methods Using the fourth quarter data of 2019 from the medical record index,with Sichuan Province as the research area,it analyzed the spatial flow of patients based on the patient's county of residence,the county where the hospital is located,and the number of mobile patients.By combining information at the individual patient level,healthcare institution level,and county level,it established two-level random intercept logistic regression analysis to explore the influencing factors from the perspectives of inflow and outflow.Results The proportion of patients seeking medical treatment across different counties in Sichuan is 22.90%.The majority of patients,with a population of over one thousand,are concentrated in the eastern region.However,the western region has a higher proportion of patients seeking medical treatment across counties.Chengdu and Mianyang are both the largest sources and recipients of patient flows.Being Han Chinese(49%,P＜0.001),male(2%,P＜0.001),Stable income(6%,P＜0.001)and better medical insurance coverage(16%,P＜0.001)at the patient level,as well as better healthcare resources at the institutional level,and higher economic(20%,P＜0.001)and medical levels(5%,P＜0.001)at the district and county level promote patients seeking medical treatment across counties.Conclusion Hospitalized patients in Sichuan Province tend to seek medical treatment from surrounding counties towards the county centers,as well as flowing to Chengdu from various locations.Promoting hierarchical medical treatment and encouraging patients to seek appropriate medical services can be achieved through strengthening patient health education,improving healthcare service levels,and promoting coordinated development between the economy and medical industry.
