Using an app to monitor postsurgical recovery led to improved quality of recovery scores, according to a recent study published in JAMA Surgery.
In the randomized clinical trial of women undergoing breast reconstruction or gynecologic surgical resection, researchers compared quality of recovery and patient satisfaction between conventional in-person postsurgical follow up and home-based follow up care using a smartphone application.
In addition to these primary outcomes, they assessed number of contacts with the medical system, postoperative complications, costs of follow up care, the surgeons’ contact with patients, and surgeons’ perceptions of app-assisted care.
根據最近發表在JAMA Surgery上的一項研究，使用應用程序來監測術後恢復可以提高恢復評分的質量。
在接受乳房重建或婦科手術切除的女性的隨機臨床試驗中，研究人員比較了傳統的面對面術後隨訪和使用智能手機應用程序進行的家庭隨訪護理之間的恢復質量和患者滿意度。
除了這些主要結果外，他們還評估了與醫療系統的接觸次數、術後並發症、後續護理費用、外科醫生與患者的接觸以及外科醫生對應用程序輔助護理的看法。
