这篇论文把15题的术后恢复问卷压到5题,精度几乎没差,病人更容易每天填完。适合搞远程监测的人看。
远程患者监测依赖患者报告数据,恢复质量(QoR-15)调查是金标准,但设计用于偶尔院内评估,在远程场景中每天使用。实际术后部署中仅55%患者提交超过14天。研究开发QoR-compact,一个5项日间输入,通过穷举评估所有3003个5问题子集,选出最佳组合达到平均AUC-ROC 0.968(95% CI 0.915-0.988),与完整QoR-15的0.964基线统计可比。该5项涵盖身体和心理维度:Q3(休息感)、Q9(舒适与控制)、Q10(幸福感)、Q12(严重疼痛)和Q14(焦虑)。患者级回测显示QoR-compact跟踪再入院事件的忠实度与完整表单相同。需在更大队列上外部验证后方可临床使用。
AI-driven Optimisation of Quality of Recovery (QoR) in Remote Patient Monitoring
Remote patient monitoring depends on patient-reported data to capture the subjective dimension of recovery that devices cannot measure. The Quality of Recovery (QoR-15) survey is the gold-standard instrument for this purpose. It was designed and validated for occasional in-hospital assessment, yet remote monitoring now administers it to patients daily. In our own post-surgical deployment, only 55% of patients submitted the survey more than 14 days of 30 monitoring days. We developed QoR-compact, a five-item daily input for the RPM prediction pathway. Setting a deployment-driven target of one-third of the daily items, we exhaustively evaluated all 3,003 five-question subsets of the QoR-15 and tested whether the best of them matches the full instrument in predicting near-term postoperative recovery severity. QoR-compact achieves a mean AUC-ROC of 0.968 (95% CI 0.915-0.988), statistically comparable to the 0.964 baseline obtained with one-third of the items. Patient-level backtesting indicates that it tracks readmission events as faithfully as the full form. Its five items span the physical and psychological axes of recovery: Q3 (feeling rested), Q9 (feeling comfortable and in control), Q10 (general well-being), Q12 (severe pain), and Q14 (feeling worried or anxious). The QoR-15 remains the gold-standard measure of recovery; QoR-compact complements it as a shorter daily input designed for prediction. This parity provides the basis for a prospective study of whether a lighter daily input is, in turn, completed more consistently. External validation on larger cohorts is required before clinical use.
