Clinical Scorecard: Effects of an Online Multidisciplinary Care Model on Postoperative Outcomes in Patients with Mixed Hemorrhoids: A Retrospective Cohort Analysis

At a Glance

Key Highlights

• Shorter wound healing time in intervention group (28.6 vs. 32.8 days, p < 0.001) (source needed)
• Lower overall complication rates in intervention group (1.1% vs. 7.6%, p = 0.012) (source needed)
• Reduced pain scores at postoperative days 7 and 14 (all p < 0.001) (source needed)
• Higher quality of life scores in intervention group (78.5 vs. 68.3, p < 0.001) (source needed)
• Improved patient satisfaction (92.6% vs. 76.1%, p = 0.002) (source needed)
