Survival and Quality of Life After Stereotactic or 3D-Conformal Radiotherapy for Inoperable Early-Stage Lung Cancer

Pulmonary function and quality of life after VMAT-based stereotactic ablative radiotherapy for early stage inoperable NSCLC: a prospective study

“…Previous studies also indicated, by means of other scoring systems, that quality of life was not severely impaired by SABR [26], [27] and [28].…”

The Predictive Value of Short-Term Changes in Hemoglobin Concentration in Patients Presenting With Acute Decompensated Heart Failure

“…Statistical analysis. For analysis of repeated hemoglobin measurements, we used linear mixed-effects models (12). Such models assume that the evolution of a patient's hemoglobin concentration over time can be described by a linear regression model where some of the regression coefficients are population specific (fixed effects) and others are subject specific (random effects).…”

Long-term quality of life in early-stage non-small cell lung cancer patients treated with robotic stereotactic ablative radiation therapy

“…Recent reports have assessed early QoL in patients with lung cancer treated with SABR and reported no clinically relevant deterioration in QoL scores. [10][11][12][13] Moreover, studies have reported only transient or subclinical declines in pulmonary function tests (PFTs), even in patients with severe pulmonary comorbidities. [14][15][16] Prospective studies addressing both QoL and pulmonary function are sparse and often limited by short follow-up periods.…”
