  1. Narration is a broad heading, used only when no more specific condition is named.
  2. The study's listed conditions name Patient Satisfaction.
Confidence
High: the new condition is named in the study's own listed conditions. Of 351 hand-checked studies reclassified this way, 68% were exactly right and 84% in the right disease family; the registry's first term was right for 5% (measured 2026-10-21). How we classify →
