First, select the questions to be discussed in depth. At the beginning of the discussion, it is necessary to reiterate the main findings. It is ideal to express them in one sentence. If it is too long, it will be suspected of repeating the results, and it will be very cumbersome. In the discussion part, it is the most important issue to choose the appropriate results for in-depth discussion. For example, we can judge according to this principle. If our results reflect the uniqueness of the experiment and are not obtained in other studies, then this result is the key issue to be discussed. Those results are consistent with previous studies and there is no significant difference, so they should not be discussed.
Second, the selected issues are discussed at a certain level and from multiple angles, which are well-founded and clear. Sometimes there is more than one question to choose, which should be described clearly according to a certain level. Generally speaking, put the most important thing in the middle, and then put down the head and tail. Putting it in the middle can bring the judges' emotions to a climax, with a foreshadowing in front and a summary behind.
Generally speaking, no matter how big or small the problem is, whether it is important or not, it should be discussed in depth from multiple angles. First of all, we should compare similar results to illustrate the uniqueness of our conclusion. Secondly, from the perspective of experimental design, theoretical principles, analytical methods and referring to other people's analytical methods, it systematically explains why there is such a result.
Third, the discussion should fully explain the advantages and disadvantages of this study, and neither should be ignored. In fact, editors and readers are most concerned about the shortcomings of research, which is inevitable in all medical research and must not foster strengths and avoid weaknesses. In addition to seeing whether there are new achievements in the research, reviewers pay more attention to whether the author stands in an objective position and puts the research achievements in a suitable position.
Therefore, it is necessary to link this research with our previous work, not just to show off how good our work is, but to really compare its advantages and disadvantages. Compare with other studies and avoid covering up your own shortcomings. It is important to discuss why the conclusion is different from others, and the author can speculate freely; However, if you don't know why your research results are different from others', it is not convenient to make such a guess, and you should not assert that your research results are right and others' are wrong.
Fourth, discuss what your research shows, explain your findings and its significance to clinicians or decision makers.
V. Point out which questions have not been answered and the work to be done.
