Improving Patient-reported Outcomes After Lung Cancer Surgery With Mobile Internet Platform

Summary

This study focuses on the significant impact of lung cancer in China, highlighted by its high incidence and mortality rates, influenced by factors like aging populations, smoking, and environmental issues. It emphasizes the importance of understanding the duration, severity, and factors affecting post-surgery symptoms like pain and coughing in patients. The research underlines the value of patient-reported outcomes (PROs) in enhancing postoperative care and survival rates through improved symptom monitoring and patient engagement. Utilizing internet technology, specifically a platform integrated with WeChat, the study aims to improve patient management and follow-ups post-discharge. The objective is to use mobile internet technology to build a high-quality prospective database on postoperative lung cancer patient outcomes, analyzing factors affecting postoperative discomfort and assessing the role of interactive platforms in improving patient care.
