Abstract:

Objective To explore and analyze the application of information management in quality control of pancreatic cancer test samples. Method A total of 40 patients with clinically confirmed digestive tract tumors, including gastric cancer, pancreatic cancer and colorectal cancer, were divided into control group and experimental group, with 20 patients in each group. From the aspects of pathology, blood, urine and stool sample collection methods and delivery of pre-test procedures, information management was applied to monitor the whole process of multiple departments and the whole link, and the causes of unqualified specimens were analyzed. Corresponding measures should be taken to reduce the incidence of unqualified specimens. Result The total number of substandard samples in the control group of 80 samples for examination was 26, with a failure rate of 32.5%; The main types of substandard specimen quality are improper fixation and processing methods before specimen submission, unreasonable specimen transportation methods, specimen contamination, incorrect specimen types, and incorrect specimen collection quantities. Out of the 80 samples submitted for testing in the experimental group, the total number of samples with substandard quality was 4, with a failure rate of 5.0%. The main types of substandard sample quality were non-standard sample collection and unreasonable sample transportation. The qualification rate of specimen quality in the experimental group was significantly higher than that in the control group (P=0.0001). Conclusion After the information management, the incidence rate of unqualified specimens decreased significantly. The information management has great application value in improving the quality control of examination specimens collected from patients with pancreatic cancer, which is worthy of clinical promotion.
