Data collection and Management (A standard data collection and management system include a CRF and an electronic data capture:

[Data Storage and Entry] All subject data and scale information will be entered into a computer by management team members or filled out by patients themselves on the WeChat scientific research follow-up platform. All original data will be entered and stored in the project database, ensuring that the entered content is consistent with the original materials. Paper documents will be managed by designated personnel. [Data Quality Control and Backup] Project team members will regularly perform quality control on the entered data, promptly report and record missing data items, and re-check and calibrate obviously erroneous data. Data will be regularly exported and backed up to physical storage devices, which will be kept by designated personnel to prevent database damage. [Quality Control] The entire project will implement quality assurance and monitoring from multiple aspects, including the quality monitoring of Traditional Chinese Medicine intervention measures, project implementation, data quality, and data analysis. This will be done through the use of network technology platforms and other means. The entire process will be subject to regular review by the ethics committee.
