Preoperative quality of life in patients with degenerative spinal disorders: many are worse than patients with brain tumours and cancer

Patients with degenerative spinal disorders awaiting surgery on the NHS have significantly impaired QoL in multiple domains as well as other functional and mood disorders. Not only are their scores worse than a brain tumour cohort but they are also worse than many cancer cohorts described in the literature using the EORTC QLQ C30. These findings suggest that preoperative care, assessment and management of NHS patients with degenerative spinal disorders could be improved and that the EORTC QLQ C30 may be a useful tool for audit purposes in this cohort.

“…Die statistische Erfolgsevaluation, bezogen auf Lebensqualität, Angst und Depressivität, zeigte für die Unterskalen emotionale Rollenfunktion, Insomnie, Fatigue und Schmerz ein signifikant schlechteres Outcome für die Gruppenteilnehmer, bei allerdings geringer Stichprobengröße, so dass letztlich der Benefit für die Teilnehmer nicht abschließend beurteilt werden kann. Ähnliche Ergebnisse haben auch andere Autoren berichtet (Rottmann et al 2012;Ludwig et al2014). Betreffend die EORTC QLQ-C30-Unterskalen "Fatigue", "Übelkeit und Erbrechen" und "Schlafstörungen" wäre eine denkbare Erklärung, dass sich doch möglicherweise zufällig in der Interventionsgruppe einige objektive erkrankungsbezogene Parameter verschlechtert haben, die in dem Zusatzfragebogen zu Ereignissen seit t0 nicht erfasst wurden und die sich in diesen Unterskalen abbilden.…”

Summary Results of a psychooncological group intervention in male cancer patients aged 60 years or olderObjective: To evaluate the acceptance and the success of a psychooncological group program in male patients aged 60 years or older with prostate or gastrointestinal cancer. Methods: We used a questionnaire designed to assess the desire to attend various psychooncological interventions (FIPA), randomization to a psychooncological group program (Weis et al. 2006) or treatment as usual, evaluation via questionnaires assessing participants' satisfaction with the program, quality of life (EORTC QLQ-C30), anxiety and depression at inclusion (t0), last session (t1) and three months later (t2). Results: Whereas 48.9 % of those who filled out the FIPA questionnaire were in theory interested in a group program, only n = 51 (10.8 %) of the 473 cancer patients who were contacted agreed to participate; 25 thereof were randomized into the group program and 26 into the control group. Although their subjective satisfaction with the group program was high, participants in the group program had a less favorable outcome at t2 for the EORTC QLQ-C30 subscales "emotional role function," fatigue, pain, and insomnia. Discussion: Because of the small sample size, we cannot draw statistically sound conclusions regarding the benefits of the group program. It is certainly feasible for interested male cancer patients aged 60 years or older, but it is hard to motivate older men to participate in such an intervention.

“…A total of 394 breast, prostate, and colon cancer survivors were randomly assigned to a six-day residential psychosocial rehabilitation program that included education, supportive discussions, physical activity, relaxation, massage, social activities, and dietary counseling or to a control group (Rottmann et al, 2012). Objective cognitive performance was not assessed and perceived cognitive function (a one-item measure) significantly improved in the control group when compared to those in the structured rehabilitation intervention group.…”

Cancer- and cancer treatment-related cognitive impairment is a common, bothersome, and potentially debilitating symptom incurred by cancer survivors. Cognitive impairment has a significant impact on patients' day-to-day functioning and quality of life, but it remains under-recognized and undertreated. This article, which is an update from the initial Oncology Nursing Society Putting Evidence Into Practice for cancer- and cancer treatment-related cognitive impairment, provides a comprehensive critical review and summary of the evidence regarding interventions addressing cognitive impairment for cancer survivors. This article examines the effectiveness of interventions focused on cancer- and cancer treatment-related cognitive impairment, makes recommendations for practice, and identifies gaps in knowledge and areas for further research.
