To summarize the clinical practice of continuous medical service for patients at Shanghai Children′s Medical Center, affiliated with Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine, from September 2023 to December 2024, following the approval of its extended care qualification. This study utilized a mixed-methods research design that integrates quantitative and qualitative approaches. The quantitative study included a total of 117 subjects, with an age range of 18 to 35 years, an average age of 21.56 years, and a median age of 19 years; there were 59 males and 58 females. The disease types covered four major categories: childhood leukemia and solid tumors (68 cases), congenital structural malformations (25 cases), congenital hereditary metabolic diseases (4 cases), and rare diseases (20 cases). Among the subjects, 57.26% (67 cases) were first-time visitors to SCMC. The patients came from 20 provinces, autonomous regions, and municipalities across the country, with 88.03% (103 cases) from outside Shanghai. The treatment outcomes showed improvement or cure in 80.34% (94 cases) of the subjects, and there were no medical complaints. In addition, a qualitative study was conducted to deeply explore the experiences, confusions, and challenges of receiving or implementing continuous medical services from the perspectives of patients and their families, as well as medical staff. According to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, a total of 44 subjects were included in the study, among them, there were 12 patients, 12 family members who were taking care of the patients in SCMC, and 20 corresponding medical staff members. The results of the qualitative study showed that trust in the attending physicians of the children′s specialty hospital, a good doctor-patient relationship, satisfactory treatment outcomes, and support from medical insurance policies are the main driving forces for patients over 18 years old to receive continuous treatment at children′s specialty hospitals. The medical staff of the hospital also believed that this model can promote patient benefits. In conclusion, under the policy support of the Shanghai Municipal Health Commission, the "Six Fixed" Model for continuous treatment established by SCMC has achieved certain positive results in practice. This provides practical references for the development of continuous treatment in China and offers new strategies for the application of preventive medicine in the field of children′s health.

Objective:To develop a nomogram model based on the preoperative neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio and gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT) -to-platelet ratio (NLR-GPR) score to predict the prognosis of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) undergoing hepatectomy.Methods:Clinical data of 284 patients with HCC who underwent curative resection at Taizhou Hospital of Zhejiang Province between January 2012 and September 2016 were retrospectively analyzed, including 235 males and 49 females, aged 57(51, 65) years. Clinical data, including gender, age, neutrophil count, lymphocyte count, platelet count, GGT, and total bilirubin, were collected. The Cox proportional hazards regression model was employed to assess the relationship between the preoperative NLR-GPR score and patient disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS). A nomogram was constructed based on the results of the multivariate analysis. Survival curves were generated using the Kaplan-Meier method, and differences between groups were evaluated using the log-rank test. The performance of the model was assessed by the concordance index (C-index).Results:The NLR-GPR score was found to be negatively correlated with both DFS and OS (both P<0.05), where a higher score indicated a poorer prognosis. Multivariate analysis identified the NLR-GPR score as an independent risk factor for both DFS ( HR=1.463, 95% CI: 1.135-1.887, P=0.003) and OS ( HR=1.734, 95% CI: 1.300-2.313, P<0.001). A nomogram was deve-loped based on the variables selected from the multivariate Cox regression analysis, including postoperative pleural effusion, AJCC stage, vascular invasion, and the NLR-GPR score. This nomogram demonstrated good predictive accuracy, with C-indices for DFS and OS of 0.676 and 0.726, respectively. Conclusion:The nomogram model, constructed based on the preoperative NLR-GPR score and relevant clinicopathological factors, can effectively predict the postoperative survival of patients with HCC undergoing hepatectomy.
