ObjectiveThis study aims to develop and validate a novel multimodal predictive model, termed criss-cross network(CCNet)-directed graph neural network(DGNN)(CGN), for accurate assessment of pulmonary nodule progression in high-risk individuals for lung cancer, by integrating longitudinal chest computed tomography(CT) imaging with both traditional Chinese and western clinical evaluation data. MethodsA cohort of 4 432 patients with pulmonary nodules was retrospectively analyzed. A twin CCNet was employed to extract spatiotemporal representations from paired sequential CT scans. Structured clinical assessment and imaging-derived features were encoded via a multilayer perceptron, and a similarity-based alignment strategy was adopted to harmonize multimodal imaging features across temporal dimensions. Subsequently, a DGNN was constructed to integrate heterogeneous features, where nodes represented modality-specific embeddings and edges denoted inter-modal information flow. Finally, model optimization was performed using a joint loss function combining cross-entropy and cosine similarity loss, facilitating robust classification of nodule progression status. ResultsThe proposed CGN model demonstrated superior predictive performance on the held-out test set, achieving an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve(AUC) of 0.830, accuracy of 0.843, sensitivity of 0.657, specificity of 0.712, Cohen's Kappa of 0.417, and F1 score of 0.544. Compared with unimodal baselines, the CGN model yielded a 36%-48% relative improvement in AUC. Ablation studies revealed a 2%-22% increase in AUC when compared to simplified architectures lacking key components, substantiating the efficacy of the proposed multimodal fusion strategy and modular design. Incorporation of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM)-specific symptomatology led to an additional 5% improvement in AUC, underscoring the complementary value of integrating TCM and western clinical data. Through gradient-weighted activation mapping visualization analysis, it was found that the model's attention predominantly focused on nodule regions and effectively captured dynamic associations between clinical data and imaging-derived features. ConclusionThe CGN model, by synergistically combining cross-attention encoding with directed graph-based feature integration, enables effective alignment and fusion of heterogeneous multimodal data. The incorporation of both TCM and western clinical information facilitates complementary feature enrichment, thereby enhancing predictive accuracy for pulmonary nodule progression. This approach holds significant potential for supporting intelligent risk stratification and personalized surveillance strategies in lung cancer prevention.

Objective:To construct a quality analysis model by combining the strengths-weaknesses-opportunities-threats(SWOT)analysis method and analytic hierarchy process(AHP),and to explore its application value in the quality management for operation of first aid equipment of hospital.Methods:The advantages,disadvantages,opportunities and threats of management for equipment were analyzed according to SWOT model,and the operation quality of equipment was positioning analyzed by AHP,and comprehensive management countermeasures were formulated from the aspects of personnel,system,preventive maintenance,information management and cooperation between institutes and enterprises.A total of 215 first aid equipment in clinical use in Qilu Hospital of Shandong University from January 2021 to December 2024 were selected.In these equipment,171 equipment from January 2021 to December 2022 were managed by using the conventional management mode,and 195 equipment(including 151 using equipment under the conventional management mode and 44 newly added equipment)from January 2023 to December 2024 were managed by using the strategic management mode with quality analysis model.The operation quality and management level of the two management modes for the equipment were compared.A self-made survey questionnaire was used to investigate the satisfaction scores of nurses of operating equipment,doctors of clinical department,medical engineers and administrators for the service effects of equipment under the two management modes,who use and manage the first aid equipment in hospital.Results:The average failure rate,risk rate,alarm rate and unqualified rate of first aid equipment in hospitals,which adopted the strategic management mode,were respectively(0.72±0.42)%,(1.08±0.70)%,(1.18±0.48)%and(1.33±0.63)%,all of which were lower than those of the conventional management mode,and the differences were statistically significant(t=3.629,2.792,2.179,2.396,P<0.05).The management level scores of monitors,ventilators,defibrillators,high-frequency electrosurgical knives and other first aid equipment,which adopted the strategic management mode,were respectively(94.69±1.68),(95.84±2.52),(95.38±2.85),(95.69±2.02)and(94.17±4.89)points,all of which were higher than those of the conventional management mode,and the differences were statistically significant(t=4.797,2.403,2.390,3.825,2.196,P<0.05).The satisfaction scores of nurses of operating equipment,doctors of clinical department,medical engineers and administrators for first aid equipment of adopting strategic management mode were all higher than those of adopting conventional management mode,and the difference were statistically significant(t=3.666,3.336,4.275,4.292,P<0.05).Conclusion:The quality analysis model of first aid equipment of hospital can improve the operation quality and management level of first aid equipment,and reduce the equipment's failure rate and the unqualified rate of quality inspection,and improve the service effect of first aid equipment.
