In the AI-ABUS group, image acquisition was performed on-site by technicians, and two ultrasound physicians conducted remote diagnoses with AI assistance, supported by a follow-up management system. In the HHUS group, one ultrasound physician conducted both image acquisition and diagnosis on-site, and follow-up was led by clinical physicians. Based on the reported malignancy rates of different BI-RADS categories, the number of undiagnosed breast cancer cases in individuals without pathology was estimated, and adjusted detection rates were calculated. Primary outcomes included screening positive rate, biopsy rate, cancer detection rate, loss-to-follow-up rate, specificity, and sensitivity. <b>Results:</b> The median age [interquartile range, <i>M</i> (<i>Q</i><sub>1</sub>, <i>Q</i><sub>3</sub>)] of the 36 171 women was 43.8 (36.6, 50.8) years. A total of 14 766 women (40.82%) were screened with AI-ABUS and 21 405 (59.18%) with HHUS. Baseline characteristics showed no significant differences between the groups (all <i>P</i>>0.05). The AI-ABUS group had a lower screening positive rate [0.59% (87/14 766) vs 1.94% (416/21 405)], but higher biopsy rate [47.13% (41/87) vs 16.10% (67/416)], higher cancer detection rate [1.69‰ (25/14 766) vs 0.47‰ (10/21 428)], and lower loss-to-follow-up rate (6.90% vs 71.39%) compared to the HHUS group (all <i>P</i><0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in the distribution of breast cancer pathological stages among those who underwent biopsy between the two groups (<i>P</i>>0.05). The specificity of AI-ABUS was higher than that of HHUS [89.77% (13, 231/14 739) vs 74.12% (15, 858/21 394), <i>P</i><0.05], while sensitivity did not differ significantly [92.59% (25/27) vs 90.91% (10/11), <i>P</i>>0.05]. After estimating undiagnosed cancer cases among participants without pathology, the adjusted detection rate was 2.30‰ (34/14 766) in the AI-ABUS group and ranged from 1.17‰ to 2.75‰ [(25-59)/21 428] in the HHUS group. In the minimum estimation scenario, the detection rate in the AI-ABUS group was significantly higher (<i>P</i><0.05); in the maximum estimation scenario, the difference was not statistically significant (<i>P</i>>0.05). <b>Conclusions:</b> The AI-ABUS model, combined with an intelligent follow-up management system, enables a higher breast cancer detection rate with a lower screening positive rate, improved specificity, and reduced loss to follow-up.

This guideline was spearheaded by the Endocrine Society and co-endorsed by 6 international academic organizations. Compared with the 2016 version, the new guideline has made significant updates in screening, diagnosis, classification and treatment. The new guideline recommends expanding the screening scope, conducting aldosterone-renin ratio screening for all patients with hypertension, without the need for strict drug elimination; it simplifies the diagnostic process, reducing the four diagnostic tests to three aldosterone suppression tests; it adopts a probability stratification strategy, allowing high-probability patients to skip the aldosterone suppression test and directly proceed to the classification assessment; at the same time, it optimizes the classification method, further clarifying the exemption conditions for adrenal venous sampling. In terms of treatment, unilateral lesions are recommended for surgery, while for bilateral or those with surgical contraindications, lifelong use of mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists is suggested, and the recovery of renin levels is used as a monitoring indicator of the efficacy. The new guideline focuses on \"population-wide screening-precise classification-individualized intervention\", aiming to reduce the risk of PA-related complications through early identification and targeted intervention. This article provides an interpretation of the core recommendations outlined in the 2025 guideline, presents a point-by-point comparison highlighting differences from the 2016 edition, and aims to deliver rapid and accurate, evidence-based information.</p>","PeriodicalId":24023,"journal":{"name":"Zhonghua yi xue za zhi","volume":"105 ","pages":"1-10"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-08-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144883908","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
