In the past decade, real-world data (RWD) research has undergone significant transformations due to data aggregation and processing technologies. However, there is still a lack of consensus regarding the scope of RWD applications and the value of real-world evidence (RWE). This study briefly outlined the origins of the concept of RWD study and its early research scope to promote further development in this area. We also reviewed the understanding of RWD applications and research models from the five perspectives of healthcare professionals, medical institutions, decision-making departments, cross-regional cooperation model, and the practice of the One-Health model. Finally, we systematically summarized the renewed understanding of the value of RWE while looking ahead to the challenges and future developments in this field.

Objective Pre-packaged space scallion pancakes are prone to quality deterioration during storage due to starch retrogradation and lipid oxidation,which affects their food safety and sensory characteristics.Therefore,investigating their quality changes during storage and predicting shelf life are of great significance for ensuring the quality of space food.Methods study conducted accelerated shelf-life tests at(37±1)℃ and(47±1)℃ under simulated spacecraft food storage conditions.Comprehensive analyses were performed,including physicochemical properties(acid value,peroxide value,carbonyl value),microbiological indicators(total bacterial count,coliforms),color parameters(L*,a*,b*,c*,h°),and texture characteristics(hardness,adhesiveness,etc.).XRD and FTIR were employed to verify starch retrogradation and lipid oxidation.Results Physicochemical properties:The acid value gradually decreased and stabilized with prolonged storage.The peroxide value increased rapidly at 37℃and 47℃,with samples stored at 47℃approaching the safety limit(0.25 g/100 g)within 40 days,while the carbonyl value exhibited a decreasing trend.Microbiological indicators:All samples met the requirements of GJB 4992A-2012.No microbial contamination was detected initially,with only minor bacterial growth observed in later stages,and no coliforms were detected throughout the storage period.Color changes:During storage at 20℃,the a*value increased by 91.67%,while b* and c* values showed significant increases.Meanwhile,L* and h° values decreased by 7.42%and 8.75%,respectively.Texture deterioration:Overall texture characteristics declined,and XRD and FTIR analyses confirmed aggravated starch retrogradation.Shelf-life prediction:Correlation analysis identified peroxide value as the key factor.The established prediction model had an error margin of less than 10%,with predicted shelf lives of 236,121,and 57 days at 20℃,37℃,and 47℃,respectively.Conclusion This study reveals the quality change patterns of space scallion pancakes during storage.The established shelf-life prediction model provides theoretical and methodological support for quality monitoring of pre-packaged space foods.

Objective To investigate the effect of transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation(taVNS)on quality of early postoperative recovery in patients undergoing thoracoscopic lung resection.Methods A total of 168 patients scheduled for elective thoracoscopic lung resection(wedge resection,segmentectomy,lobectomy)under general anesthesia were enrolled and randomly assigned to active-taVNS group(group T)or sham-taVNS group(group S)(n=84).Participants received four consecutive 30-minute sessions of active stimulation or sham stimulation at four time points:(1)the afternoon prior to the surgery,(2)the morning of the surgery,(3)following extubation,and(4)the first afternoon post-surgery.The Quality of Recovery-15(QoR-15)scores of the patients,the Numerical Rating Scale(NRS)scores at rest and during cough at 24,48,and 72 hours after surgery were recorded;and the usage of opioids within 48 hours after surgery was recorded;the duration of chest tube indwelling,incidence of severe pulmonary complications,postoperative hospital stay and adverse reactions to the stimulation(such as nausea and vomiting,fever,constipation,dizziness and itching)were observed.Results Compared with group S,group T exhibited significantly higher QoR-15 scores at 24,48,and 72 h postoperatively,lower NRS pain scores during resting and coughing,and reduced opioid consumption within 48 hours postoperatively(P<0.05).There were no significant differences between the two groups in the duration of chest tube indwelling,incidence of severe pulmonary complications,hospital stay,and the incidence of adverse reactions to the stimula-tion(P>0.05).Conclusion TaVNS can significantly improve quality of early postoperative recovery in patients undergoing thoracoscopic lung resection,and provide more effective postoperative analgesia without increasing the risk of postoperative complications.

Objective:To analyze the satisfaction of elderly outpatient experience, based on a satisfaction questionnaire survey of outpatients in public hospitals, for references to improve the medical experience of elderly patients.Methods:This study extracted the satisfaction survey questionnaires for outpatients in second level and above public hospitals nationwide from the National Health Commission′s satisfaction survey platform from 2019 to 2022. The questionnaire content included six dimensions: registration experience, doctor-patient communication, nurse-patient communication, environment and labeling, privacy protection, and medical staff response, as well as overall satisfaction. The satisfaction, relative satisfaction, and dissatisfaction rates of elderly outpatients were analyzed using standardized assignment of question options, etc; T-test was used for inter group comparison.Results:A total of 10.095 7 million outpatient satisfaction questionnaires were included in this study, including 0.576 3 million questionnaires for elderly outpatients. From 2019 to 2022, the overall satisfaction of outpatients had been increasing year by year, and the overall satisfaction scores of elderly patients were significantly higher than that of non-elderly patients( P<0.01). The satisfaction scores of elderly patients in the nurse communication dimension(86.55 to 91.03 points) and relative satisfaction(1.000) were the higher in each year, while the satisfaction scores in the environment and identification dimension(81.05 to 86.03 points) and relative satisfaction(0.935 to 0.955) were lower. In 2019 and 2022, elderly patients had higher dissatisfaction rates in the two dimensions of registration experience(2.26%, 1.91%) and doctor communication(0.80%, 0.53%). Conclusions:From 2019 to 2022, the overall satisfaction of elderly patients in secondary and above public hospitals in China was relatively higher with a steady increasing tendency. However, there was still room for further improvement in the environment and labeling, cultural construction, and registration experience for elderly patients.
