    Abstract
  •   Objective  To investigate general practitioners ' (GPs) cognition and clinical practice regarding edema-related medically unspecified disease (MUD), providing reference for improving standardized diagnosis and treatment.  Methods  A total of 419 general practitioners who voluntarily participated from January 10th to 24th, 2025 were selected as the survey subjects. An online questionnaire survey was conducted through Wenjuanxing.  Results  Only 21.0% (88/419) of GPs had established edema clinics, 62.8% (263/419) frequently encountered edema patients, 96.4% (404/419) emphasized the necessity of active intervention for edema, 28.2% (118/419) had attended edema-related academic conferences, 95.9% (402/419) demanded standardized guidelines, and 96.7% (405/419) advocated for training. GPs with older age, higher title, higher education, or working in tertiary hospitals managed more edema cases (χ2=8.663, 20.537, 31.440, 49.080; P=0.013, < 0.001, < 0.001, < 0.001). GPs with higher title, older age, or longer experience provided more psychological support (χ2=8.937, 10.033, P=0.011, 0.007). Higher title correlated with more frequent follow-ups and assessments (χ2=11.894, P=0.003). No significant differences in guideline awareness or training needs were observed (P>0.05).  Conclusion  Low edema clinic establishment rates and disparities in edema cognition among GPs. Despite high training demands, current training is insufficient. Future strategies should prioritize edema clinic development and targeted training programs to enhance GPs ' diagnostic and therapeutic capabilities.
