Methods
Data processing
The study included 391 patients aged ≥85 years who sustained a fracture and were treated at the Third Hospital of Health University from January 2016 to December 2019. Patients with preoperative thrombosis were excluded. The final analytical cohort comprised the remaining 391 patients — all of whom developed postoperative non-occlusive deep vein thrombosis (PNO-DVT). The incidence of PNO-DVT was 21.2% (
理由:
- 标题冗余且不专业:原“Processing and processing of data”为重复用词(“processing”重复两次),且不符合学术写作惯例;标准小节标题应为简洁名词短语,故改为“Data processing”。
- 主谓逻辑混乱与语序错误:“The study collected data on 391 patients with a fracture that were treated…”中,“that were treated”修饰不清(易误指“fracture”而非“patients”),且“collected data on… patients… that were treated”结构松散、被动冗余;更严谨的表达应聚焦研究对象本身(即“included 391 patients…”),体现纳入标准,符合临床研究方法学规范(如STROBE)。
- 时间状语位置不当:“From January 2016 to December 2019, all at the age of ≥ 85 years”为严重病句:逗号分隔导致“all”指代不明(是“all patients”?还是“all data”?),且“all at the age of…”语法错误(“all”不能直接接“at the age of”;应明确主语并前置年龄条件)。修正后将年龄(≥85 years)作为核心纳入标准前置,时间范围作补充状语,逻辑清晰。
- 矛盾性排除逻辑错误:原文“After excluding patients with thrombosis before surgery, the remaining 391 patients who developed the DVT after surgery were excluded were included…”存在致命逻辑矛盾——先说“excluded”,又说“were included”,且“who developed the DVT… were excluded were included”嵌套错误、动词冲突(两个谓语动词“were excluded”和“were included”共存于同一主语),完全违背常理(不可能既被排除又被纳入)。实际意图应为:排除有术前血栓者后,剩余患者全部确诊为术后PNO-DVT,故全部纳入分析。因此重写为“The final analytical cohort comprised the remaining 391 patients — all of whom developed postoperative non-occlusive deep vein thrombosis (PNO-DVT)”,消除歧义,准确传达“纳入人群即PNO-DVT病例队列”这一关键设计。
- 术语不规范:“non-occlusive deep vein thrombosis”为医学标准术语,但缩写首次出现须全称+括号标注,原文已做到(PNO-DVT),但前文“DVT”未定义且大小写不一致(应统一为“DVT”而非“the DVT”);此外,“postoperative”为标准前缀,无需连字符(≠ “post-operative”),已统一。
- 符号与格式问题:
– “≥ 85 years” → “≥85 years”(删除空格,符合科技写作数字与单位/符号间无空格的规范);
– “n=83/391”中“n”为斜体变量,按生物学/医学期刊惯例(如AMA、NEJM),应在LaTeX或Word中设为斜体,此处用标出以提示排版要求;
– “Third Hospital of the University of Health”机构名存疑(常见名称应为“Health University”或“University of Health Sciences”,但“University of Health”非常规;若确为官方名称则保留,但需确认。此处按用户原文未改动,仅优化语法)。 - 冗余冠词与介词:“the DVT” → “DVT”(疾病名称泛指时通常不加定冠词);“at the Third Hospital”正确,但“of the University of Health”宜核实是否应为“of Health University”(更常见语序),因用户未提供校正依据,暂不修改机构名,仅优化语法结构。
综上,修正后文本逻辑自洽、术语准确、语法规范,符合国际生物医学论文方法学写作标准。
