Core Tip	We quantified post-traumatic stress disorder 3 months after endoscopic submucosal dissection for early gastric cancer and identified six independent preoperative factors - age, marital status, lesion size, ulcer, depression level, and social support. A pragmatic 6-factor model showed good discrimination (area under the curve = 0.856) and allows risk stratification before treatment. This approach supports routine preoperative screening and targeted psychological intervention to improve adherence and recovery.
