Patients with lung cancer experience a heavy symptom burden during the perioperative period, which seriously affects their recovery and quality of life. Traditional symptom management models rely mainly on scheduled ward rounds during hospitalization and outpatient follow-up after discharge. However, they have limitations such as delayed symptom recognition, lack of post-discharge monitoring, and non-quantitative symptom assessment, which often lead to delayed interventions and low patient satisfaction. In recent years, the symptom management model based on electronic patient-reported outcomes (ePRO) has been increasingly valued in clinical practice. Existing high-level evidence from both domestic and international studies indicates that, through proactive monitoring, real-time alerts, and remote interventions, this model enables dynamic and continuous symptom management and helps improve patient recovery and healthcare experience. As a supplement to routine medical care, the ePRO-based symptom management model aims to enhance the quality of care rather than replace existing medical processes. To promote the standardized application of this model in perioperative lung cancer care, this consensus integrates domestic and international evidence. After multiple rounds of voting by more than 50 experts, it formulates 12 consensus statements covering the three core components, symptom monitoring, alerting, and intervention, to provide scientific and practical recommendations for clinical practice.

Background and Aims:Surgical treatment is a cornerstone of breast cancer management;however,the physical trauma and psychological burden associated with surgery may adversely affect patients'quality of life(QoL).Based on data from a prospective cohort,this study was conducted to evaluate changes in postoperative QoL among breast cancer patients and to identify mediating factors influencing QoL,thereby providing evidence for perioperative rehabilitation strategies.Methods:Female breast cancer patients who underwent local surgical treatment at Suining Central Hospital between June 2024 and January 2025 were enrolled.The Constant-Murley Shoulder Score,EORTC QLQ-C30,and QLQ-BR23 questionnaires were used pre-and postoperatively to assess shoulder joint function,and QoL.Paired t-tests were used to analyze changes in scores before and after surgery.A mediation model was applied to explore the indirect pathways through which surgery impacts QoL.Additionally,subgroup analyses were conducted to compare QoL changes across different surgical modalities.Results:A total of 148 patients were included,with median age of 54(46-60)years old Postoperative psychological health significantly improved,while shoulder function and overall QoL scores markedly declined(all P<0.001).According to QLQ-C30,functional domains such as physical and role functioning worsened,while symptom burden increased.The QLQ-BR23 revealed significantly higher scores for breast and upper limb symptoms postoperatively(both P<0.001).Subgroup analyses showed that patients undergoing axillary lymph node dissection experienced greater declines in shoulder function and QoL compared to those receiving sentinel lymph node biopsy(both P<0.05).QoL deterioration was comparable between mastectomy and breast-conserving surgery,although the former was associated with more prominent pain and breast symptoms.Mediation analysis indicated that shoulder function,breast symptoms,and physical functioning served as mediators in the impact of surgery on QoL,while better psychological health exerted a protective effect.Conclusion:Surgical treatment significantly affects postoperative QoL in breast cancer patients,with local functional impairment and symptom exacerbation serving as key mediators.Different surgical approaches have varying impacts on QoL.Enhancing postoperative shoulder rehabilitation,symptom management,and psychological support may improve patients'QoL.

OBJECTIVE: To compare the efficacy and safety of domestic vancomycin and imported vancomycin in the treatment of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) caused lung infection after neurosurgery. METHODS: The patients after neurosurgery with MRSA pulmonary infection diagnosed in our hospital from Jan. 2014 to Jun. 2015 and using domestic vancomycin were included in domestic vancomycin group, while those who used imported vancomycin from Jul. 2015 to Dec. 2018 were included in imported vancomycin group. The baseline data of the two groups were matched by 1 ∶ 1 according to propensity score matching method. The 30-day all-cause mortality, 90-day all-cause mortality of severe patients, 7 d effective bacterial clearance rate and the incidence of ADR were compared between 2 groups. RESULTS: There were 108 cases in domestic vancomycin group and 279 cases in imported vancomycin group. After propensity score matching, 108 cases in domestic and 108 cases in imported vancomycin group were finally included. The 30-day mortality rates of domestic group and imported group were 10.19%(11/108) and 7.41%(8/108) respectively, and the 90-day all-cause mortality of 22 pairs of severe patients were 63.64%. The 7 d effective bacterial clearance rates were 75.00%(48/64) and 81.94%(59/72), and there was no statistical significance (P>0.05). The incidences of creatinine increase >1 fold were 25.93%(28/108) and 12.04%(13/108), the total incidences of ADR were 29.63%(32/108) and 15.74%(17/108), respectively, with statistical significance (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS: The therapeutic efficacy of imported vancomycin is similar to that of domestic vancomycin in the treatment of postoperative pulmonary infection with MRSA after neurosurgery, but the safety needs to pay close attation, especially the rise of serum creatinime.
