Association of Watson-based humanistic fast track surgery with stoma colorectal cancer recovery: A propensity matched study

Figure 1 Flowchart of participant screening and cohort selection. FTS: Fast track surgery; ICU: Intensive care unit; HADS: Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale.

Figure 2 Primary outcome comparison between the Watson-fast track surgery and routine care groups. A: Box plots illustrating the distribution of time to first postoperative flatus (hours); B: Bar chart displaying the incidence of overall postoperative complications; C: With the adjacent forest plot indicating the adjusted odds ratio and 95% confidence intervals. FTS: Fast track surgery; aOR: Adjusted odds ratio; CI: Confidence interval.

Figure 3 Estimated marginal means of prealbumin recovery trajectories. The graph illustrates the dynamic changes in prealbumin (mg/L) from preoperative T0 to postoperative T3 (day 7). Both groups show an initial decline, but the Watson-fast track surgery group demonstrates a significantly faster recovery curve, highlighting the impact of humanistic nursing on metabolic stabilization. FTS: Fast track surgery.
