Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: 1. Adults (>=18 years) who, during the specified study period, undergo health examinations at our center and are identified as having "critical abnormal findings." The definition of "critical abnormal findings" is based on the Expert Consensus on Management of Critical Abnormal Findings in Health Examinations, including but not limited to: Category A (Requiring Emergency Intervention): e.g., electrocardiographic findings suggestive of acute myocardial infarction, CT findings indicating cerebral hemorrhage, severe hyperkalemia (serum potassium >= 6.5 mmol/L). Category B (Requiring Specialist Referral): e.g., imaging findings suspicious for malignancy (e.g., pulmonary nodules = 8 mm with malignant features, thyroid nodules classified as TI-RADS 4 or higher), gastric biopsy pathology showing high-grade intraepithelial neoplasia. Category C (Requiring Regular Monitoring): e.g., fasting blood glucose >= 13.9 mmol/L, estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) < 30 mL/min/1.73 m². 2. Participants must also have available contact information to enable follow-up.
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: 1. For the retrospective cohort: records with missing data exceeding 30% for key variables (e.g., details of abnormal findings, contact information, whether medical consultation was sought). 2. For the prospective cohort: Individuals unable or unwilling to provide informed consent; 3. Those whose detected abnormalities are already confirmed as previously known conditions under stable follow-up, with no need for changes in management based on the current alert; 4. Individuals with severe mental illness, cognitive impairment, or absence of a legal guardian, rendering them unable to engage in basic communication.
