It is believed that combination treatment with both neuromodulators (NM) and hyaluronic acid soft-tissue fillers (HA) results in superior aesthetic results and increased patient satisfaction compared to either treatment alone.
To determine whether combined treatment with NM and HA leads to greater patient retention than treatment with NM or HA alone.
PATIENTS/METHODS: This is a large, multi-center, retrospective review of patient retention rates from 7 aesthetic practices across 5 continents, incorporating over 2600 patients. Patient retention is interpreted as a surrogate marker for overall patient satisfaction. Retention rates were compared at 1, 3, and 5 years for patients who received NM only, HA only, or combination treatment with both NM and HA.
Combination therapy significantly increased the probability of retention for each time point (1, 3, and 5 years) compared with NM alone (P < .0001) and HA alone (P < .0001).
This large multicenter, global retrospective review demonstrates that patients who received combined HA and NM were more likely to be retained in the same practice over many years than those who received either treatment alone.
人们认为，与单独使用任何一种治疗方法相比，神经调节剂（NM）和透明质酸软组织填充剂（HA）联合治疗能产生更优的美学效果并提高患者满意度。
确定NM和HA联合治疗是否比单独使用NM或HA治疗能带来更高的患者留存率。
患者/方法：这是一项对来自5个大洲7家美容机构的患者留存率进行的大型多中心回顾性研究，纳入了2600多名患者。患者留存率被视为总体患者满意度的替代指标。对仅接受NM治疗、仅接受HA治疗或接受NM和HA联合治疗的患者在1年、3年和5年时的留存率进行了比较。
与单独使用NM（P <.0001）和单独使用HA（P <.0001）相比，联合治疗在每个时间点（1年、3年和5年）均显著提高了留存概率。
这项大型多中心全球回顾性研究表明，与单独接受任何一种治疗的患者相比，接受HA和NM联合治疗的患者多年来更有可能留在同一家机构接受治疗。
