BackgroundLow medication compliance among patients with severe mental disorders increases the disease burden on both the patients' families and the society. Medication adherence is influenced by numerous factors. Traditional methods such as Logistic regression struggle to quantify the importance of these factors. By introducing Extreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost) combined with Shapley Additive Explanations (SHAP), enables the quantification of the relative contribution weights of each factor, providing support for identifying the core influencing factors. ObjectiveTo explore the influencing factors of medication adherence among patients with severe mental disorders in Zhuhai, aiming to provide references for optimizing patient management strategies. MethodsExtract the data of patients with severe mental disorders who were registered on the mental health system platform in Zhuhai City from January 1, 2023 to March 31, 2025. A total of 9 329 patients were finally included for analysis. Influencing factors were screened using univariate analysis and multivariate logistic regression analysis, and an XGBoost model combined with the SHAP algorithm was constructed to quantify the importance of each influencing factor. ResultsAmong 9 329 patients, 8 446 demonstrated medication adherence, yielding an adherence rate of 90.53%. Multivariable analysis identified several risk factors significantly associated with medication non-adherence, being unmarried (OR=1.237, 95% CI: 1.019–1.502) or divorced (OR=1.389, 95% CI: 1.038–1.832), a diagnosis of mental retardation with psychiatric disorders (OR=3.025, 95% CI: 2.402–3.796) or paranoid psychosis (OR=5.117, 95% CI: 3.086–8.299), a disease duration of 2–4 years (OR=1.355, 95% CI: 1.085–1.696), 4–6 years (OR=2.143, 95% CI: 1.671–2.747), or >6 years (OR=1.681, 95% CI: 1.365–2.079), lack of guardian subsidies (OR=1.412, 95% CI: 1.099–1.801), absence of a disability certificate (OR=1.900, 95% CI: 1.588–2.282), not being enrolled in care and support groups (OR=1.384, 95% CI: 1.183–1.617) or community services (OR=1.313, 95% CI: 1.042–1.645), and not cohabiting with a guardian (OR=1.257, 95% CI: 1.048–1.501). Conversely, the enrollment in special outpatient disease programs (OR=0.716, 95% CI: 0.609–0.842) and a family history of mental illness (OR=0.713, 95% CI: 0.503–0.982) were identified as protective factors. The XGBoost model exhibited robust predictive performance, with a sensitivity of 0.433, specificity of 0.944, accuracy of 0.891, Area Under the Curve (AUC) of 0.837, and F1 value of 0.449. Feature importance ranking indicated that the top three factors were disease duration, diagnosis, and the acquisition of disability certificates. ConclusionPolicy-based support (acquisition of disability certificates, special outpatient disease enrollment) and clinical disease characteristics (disease duration, diagnosis type) are key factors affecting medication adherence among patients with severe mental disorders in Zhuhai City.

Objective:To investigate the clinical effect of modified atlantooccipital decompression combined with occipitocervical internal fixation on Chiari type I malformation combined with syringomyelia and atlantoaxial dislocation.Methods:Twenty-five patients with Chiari I malformation combined with syringomyelia and atlantoaxial dislocation accepted by modified atlantooccipital decompression combined with occipitocervical internal fixation in our hospital from January 2011 to March 2019. The clinical data of these patients were retrospectively analyzed. The changes of peak velocity of cerebrospinal fluid in the dorsal part of the spinal cord, electrophysiological results, atlantodental interval (ADI) values, sizes of syringomyelia, and Chicago Chiari outcome scale (CCOS) scores before and after operation were compared.Results:The peak velocity of cerebrospinal fluid in the dorsal spinal cord after surgery ([3.25±0.47] cm/s) was statistically higher in these patients than that before surgery ([2.13±0.19] cm/s, P<0.05). As compared with the preoperative results, ADI values, sizes of syringomyelia, and proportion of patients with abnormal electrophysiological monitoring at 6 months after surgery were significantly decreased, and CCOS scores at 6 months after surgery were significantly increased ( P<0.05). There were no new nerve function damage, infection, cerebrospinal fluid leakage, paralysis, respiratory failure or death. Conclusions:Modified atlantooccipital decompression combined with occipitocervical internal fixation plays effective role in atlantooccipital decompression and atlantoaxial anatomical reduction in patients with Chiari malformation type I combined with syringomyelia and atlantoaxial dislocation. The remission rate of syringomyelia is high, the symptoms and signs improve obviously, and the postoperative complications are less.
