皮特和希尔曼的研究人员开发了一种提示方法，可将老年乳腺癌患者不必要的淋巴结手术减少 50%。 Pitt and Hillman researchers developed a nudge prompt reducing unnecessary lymph node surgery by 50% in older breast cancer patients.
匹兹堡大学和希尔曼癌症中心的研究人员在电子健康记录中开发了一种提示功能，可以标记出患有早期乳腺癌的老年患者，这些患者有进行不必要淋巴结手术的风险。 University of Pittsburgh and Hillman Cancer Center researchers developed a nudge prompt in electronic health records that flags older patients with early-stage breast cancer at risk for unnecessary lymph node surgery. 实施这一提示可使符合条件的患者中前哨淋巴结活检减少 50%，这表明它可能减少老年乳腺癌患者的过度治疗。 Implementing this prompt led to a 50% reduction in sentinel lymph node biopsies among eligible patients, suggesting it may reduce overtreatment in older breast cancer patients.
