ObjectiveTo investigate the present situation of input, output, outcome and impact of all registered community-based rehabilitation stations in Inner Mongolia in China, and analyze how the input predict the output, outcome and impact. MethodsFrom March 1st to April 30th, 2025, a questionnaire survey was conducted on all registered community-based rehabilitation stations in Inner Mongolia, covering four dimensions: input, output, outcome and impact. A total of 1 365 questionnaires were distributed. The input included four items: laws and policies, human resources, equipment and facilities, and rehabilitation information management. The output included two items: technical paths and benefits/effectiveness. The outcome included three items: coverage rates, rehabilitation interventions and functional results. The impact included two items: health and sustainability. Each item contained several questions, all of which were described in a positive way. Each question was scored from one to five. A lower score indicated that the situation of the community-based rehabilitation station was more in line with the content described in the question. Regression analysis was performed using the total score of each item of input dimension as independent variables, and the total scores of the output, outcome and impact dimensions as dependent variables. ResultsA total of 1 262 valid questionnaires were collected. The mean values of input, output, outcome and impact of community-based rehabilitation stations were 1.827 to 1.904, with coefficient of variation of 45.892% to 49.239%. The regression analysis showed that, rehabilitation information management, human resources, and laws and policies significantly predicted the output dimension (R² = 0.910, P < 0.001). Meanwhile, all four items in the input dimension predicted both the outcome (R² = 0.850, P < 0.001) and impact dimensions (R² = 0.833, P < 0.001). ConclusionInput, output, outcome and impact of the community-based rehabilitation stations in Inner Mongolia were generally in line with the content of the questions, although some imbalances were observed. Additionally, the input of community-based rehabilitation stations could significantly predict their output, outcome and impact.

Background: Papillary tumor of the pineal region (PTPR) is a rare neuroepithelial tumor with CentralNervous System (CNS) World Health Organization (WHO) grade II or III classification. Due to its rarity, there is no clear census on treatment. The purpose of this study is to identify the optimal treatment plan focused on extending overall survival (OS). Methods: This is an institutional case series with review of the literature. Fifty-three publicationswere analyzed. Only cases with histological diagnosis of PTPR were included. Data collected included demographics, treatment modalities, disease progression, and OS. Results: The analysis included 105 patients from the literature and 3 new cases (54 female,50%) with an average age of 33.1 years (range 1–73 years). The average lesion size was 26.4 mm (range 5–50 mm) in longest axis. All patients underwent an initial resection. There were 46 cases of surgery alone. The remaining cases received adjuvant therapy including radiation (RT), stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS), chemotherapy (CT), or RT and CT. The average follow-up was 61.4 months (range 1–240 months). OS at 1 year was 96.9%, at 5 years was 87.5%, and at 10 years was 80.2%. Overall progression-free survival (PFS) was 57.4%. Statistical significance was observed in PFS in the surgery plus SRS group and surgery plus CT and RT group. Surgery with SRS had the best PFS (75%), and OS at 1 year (100%) and 5 years (88.9%). Surgery with CT and RT had the best OS at 10 years (85.7%). Conclusion We describe a case series and literature review of PTPR to help guide the most effec-tive treatment strategies for this rare disease entity. We recommend surgery followed by SRS as the treatment of choice because of its best PFS and 5-year survival rates. We would also recommend adding chemotherapy in the event of disease progression or recurrence as adjuvant radiation and chemotherapy provided the best 10-year survival.
