Purpose:
To explore the feasibility of individualized management of postoperative patients with differentiated thyroid cancer by a mode based on internet and programming technology.
Methods:
The enrolled patients were randomly divided into the study group and the control group. The study group used a mobile application to collect patient information, evaluate the risk of thyroid cancer recurrence and levothyroxine medication risk, develop individual thyrotropin control targets, and push levothyroxine adjustment recommendations to patients. In the control group, the traditional outpatient follow-up mode was used.
Results:
Two hundred patients were randomly divided into the study group and the control group at a 1:1 ratio. There was no significant difference in the physical and chemical indices between the two groups at baseline. During the 1-year follow-up, there was no significant difference in the thyrotropin attainment rate, heart rate or bone mineral density between the study group and the control group. During the 2-year follow-up, the thyrotropin attainment rate of the study group was better than that of the control group. The total score of Symptom Checklist 90 of the study group was lower than the control group, and satisfaction with the treatment was significantly higher than that of the control group.
Conclusion:
The management based on the internet and programming technology is not inferior to the traditional outpatient follow-up mode, and is beneficial to improve patients' quality of life, promote the implementation of the national graded diagnosis and treatment system and the grassroots management of chronic diseases.
