Survey was conducted during 16 May 2025\u201329 September 2025 in 14 provincial-level administrative divisions (\u201cprovinces\u201d) of China. Per capita gross domestic product (GDP) in 2024 was 15,000 US dollars ($) in 5 of the surveyed provinces (Jiangsu, Fujian, Zhejiang, Tianjin, Inner Mongolia), $10,001 \u201315,000 in 5 provinces (Anhui, Liaoning, Sichuan, Tibet, Shanxi), and $7001\u201310,000 in 4 (Qinghai, Henan, Hebei, Guangxi)11.<\/p>\n

3493 physicians, including 2632 drawn from 32 tier-3 (highest-level) hospitals, 614 from 25 tier-2 hospitals, and 247 from 19 tier-1 (lowest-level) hospitals, participated in the survey (Fig. 1A; \u201cMethods\u201d).

Among the 3222 (92.2% of 3493) participants who completed the survey, median time to completion was 7\u2009min (IQR, 4\u201312). To ensure data quality, we excluded data from 278 (8.6% of 3222) physicians who completed in 1A).<\/p>\n

The final dataset includes 2708 physicians (Fig. 1B). 1640 (60.6%) and 1068 (39.4%) are internists and surgeons, respectively. 980 (36.2%) are from the most economically developed provinces (Jiangsu, Fujian, Zhejiang, Tianjin, Inner Mongolia) in our sample, 954 (35.2%) are from moderately developed provinces (Anhui, Liaoning, Sichuan, Tibet, Shanxi), and 774 (28.6%) from the least developed provinces (Qinghai, Henan, Hebei, Guangxi). 2040 (75.3%), 490 (18.1%), and 178 (6.6%) respondents are from tier-3, -2, and -1 hospitals, respectively.<\/p>\n
