Teach-back with traditional preoperative education in elderly patients undergoing day-case cataract surgery: a propensity score-matched analysis.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
purposeCataracts are a leading cause of vision impairment, with prevalence rising due to aging populations. As cataract surgery transitions to a day surgery model, effective preoperative education becomes essential, particularly for elderly patients who often face anxiety and difficulty understanding medical information. This study assesses the impact of integrating the Teach-back method with traditional preoperative education on anxiety, information needs, and satisfaction in elderly cataract surgery patients.
methodsA retrospective cohort study using propensity score matching (PSM) compared the Teach-back plus Traditional Education (TB + TE) group with the Traditional Education (TE) group. Data from 733 patients aged ≥ 60 years who underwent cataract day surgery between 2020 and 2024 were analyzed. Primary outcomes included preoperative anxiety (measured by the APAIS-Anxiety and VAS-A scales). Secondary outcomes included information needs, physiological indicators (heart rate, blood pressure), and satisfaction with education.
resultsAfter PSM, 63 patients per group were analyzed. The TB + TE group showed significantly lower preoperative anxiety (APAIS-Anxiety: 5.2 vs. 7.4, P = 0.001; VAS-A: 3.6 vs. 5.1, P = 0.001) and reduced information needs (APAIS-Information Need: 3.2 vs. 4.0, P = 0.015). Patient satisfaction was higher in the TB + TE group (8.6 vs. 7.4, P = 0.003), while physiological parameters showed no significant differences.
conclusionThe Teach-back method effectively reduces preoperative anxiety, enhances understanding, and improves satisfaction in elderly cataract patients, offering a valuable approach to patient-centered care, though its impact on physiological indicators is limited.
