Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the unique clinical traits, treatments, and outcomes of pediatric-onset growth hormone-secreting pituitary adenoma (GHPA) patients compared to adults, aiming to enhance clinical strategies for these cases.
- Findings reveal that pediatric patients, predominantly male, often experience earlier complications, have higher hormone levels, and face more surgical risks than adults, despite similar cure rates.
- Both groups show a comparable recurrence rate, but pediatric patients are more prone to hypopituitarism, while adult patients have a higher incidence of other tumors, highlighting the need for tailored treatment approaches.
Objective: To evaluate the validity of psychological care combined with enhanced recovery after surgery (PC+ERAS) management in perioperative nursing care of andrological patients.
Methods: A total of 300 male patients undergoing andrological surgery were included in this study, 150 given PC+ERAS and the other 150 receiving routine nursing care as controls. We evaluated anxiety and depression of all the patients on admission and discharge using Self-Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) and Self-Rating Depression Scale (SDS), and compared post-operative hospital days, off-bed time, first passage of flatus, Visual Analog Scale (VAS) score and satisfaction with nursing care between the two groups of patients.
