Treatment of patients with chemical burns of the esophagus and stomach is a difficult task.Perforation of the stomach or the formation of strictures of the esophagus, stomach, duodenum, and even the initial parts of the jejunum can be the outcome of chemical burns.Patients with concomitant esophageal and gastric strictures are the most difficult to treat, which often requires multi-stage operations.This article describes a clinical case of surgical treatment of a patient with a combined chemical burn of the esophagus and stomach with hydrochloric acid. One week after hospitalization, the patient had gastric perforation. The patient was urgently operated in the course of peritonitis. The peculiarity of the operation was that the surgeons, having made a gastrectomy, removed the esophageal stump to the anterior abdominal wall in the epigastrium and applied an enterostomy. In such a state with significant alimentary depletion (body mass index — BMI 15) on 11.10.02 the patient was taken to a Moscow clinic. A year later, the main surgical reconstructive treatment was performed — retrosternal bypass esophagoplasty of the right half of the large intestine and the terminal ileum in the isoperistaltic position, as well as extirpation of the esophagus. As a result of long-term treatment and several surgical interventions, a good short-term and long-term result was obtained.
PRO (patient reported outcomes) is a patient's subjective assessment of health and quality of life, without interpretation by a specialist. PROM (patient reported outcomes measure) questionnaires are used to analyzing this data. Assessment of the quality of life is a perspective direction, which allows to improve the quality of medical care and treatment results. Today, there are many questionnaires PROM, their reliability and validity has been proven in numerous studies. Unified standards and methods for developing and evaluating questionnaires have been developed. Interest in the use of quality of life questionnaires is increasing constantly. However, studies analyzing the data of the PROM questionnaires are rarely found in the national literature. Quality of life is also poorly researched in clinical practice. The aim of the literature review is to present modern methods for assessing the quality of life of patients, especially with cancer. A review of the most widespread and reliable questionnaires and assessment instruments for the quality of life of a patient has been carried out. The analysis of world experience of their use in clinical practice, for patients with cancer has been performed. Examples of both general and specific questionnaires are given. PROM questionnaires are widely used among patients with cancer. However, incorrect use of PROMs is found in the literature, and in patients with certain nosologies PROM data studied poorly. Further analysis of the potential of PROM questionnaires implementation is required, as well as their translation and adaptation for use in Russian health care.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
