| الوصف: | Background Radical prostatectomy remains the fundamental treatment for prostate cancer, and improving patients’ compliance with postoperative follow-ups is essential for improving patients’ quality of life. This study investigates the effect of education levels on patients’ recovery and follow-up after radical prostatectomy. Methods Data from 1,112 patients undergoing radical prostatectomy between 2011 and 2020 were collected using medical records, and “pc-follow” systems were used to collect patients’ baseline information, education level, pathological information, number of outpatient visits, the time interval between each visit, and PSA test data. Results Regarding postoperative outpatient data, there was no difference in the number of outpatient visits among the different education level groups in Shanghai ( P = 0.063). A significant difference was found in the interval between outpatient visits among the groups ( P < 0.001). Furthermore, significant differences were detected in the number and duration of outpatient clinic visits among the education level groups in all patients ( P = 0.016, P = 0.0027). By contrast, no significant difference was found in the recovery time of urinary continence between all patients and those in Shanghai, grouped according to education level ( P = 0.082, P = 0.68). For all patients and patients in the Shanghai area, the number of PSA follow-ups increased gradually with an increasing level of education ( P < 0.001, P = 0.0029). Conclusions Education level affected the number of postoperative clinic visits, compliance, and the number of PSA tests. However, no significant effect on the recovery of urinary continence was found. Further, clinicians must increase their focus on patients with low education levels to achieve equitable access to health services for all patients. |
