  abstract  = {This predefined analysis of the European Forsteo Observational Study (EFOS) aimed to describe clinical fracture incidence, back pain, and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) during 18 months of teriparatide treatment and 18 months post-teriparatide in the subgroup of 589 postmenopausal women with osteoporosis aged ≥75 years. Data on clinical fractures, back pain (visual analogue scale, VAS), and HRQoL (EQ-5D) were collected over 36 months. Fracture data were summarized in 6-month intervals and analyzed using logistic regression with repeated measures. A repeated-measures model analyzed changes from baseline in back pain VAS and EQ-VAS. During the 36-month observation period, 87 (14.8 \%) women aged ≥75 years sustained a total of 111 new fractures: 37 (33.3 \%) vertebral fractures and 74 (66.7 \%) nonvertebral fractures. Adjusted odds of fracture was decreased by 80 \% in the 30 to <36-month interval compared with the first 6-month interval (P < 0.009). Although the older subgroup had higher back pain scores and poorer HRQoL at baseline than the younger subgroup, both age groups showed significant reductions in back pain and improvements in HRQoL postbaseline. In conclusion, women aged ≥75 years with severe postmenopausal osteoporosis treated with teriparatide in normal clinical practice showed a reduced clinical fracture incidence by 30 months compared with baseline. An improvement in HRQoL and, possibly, an early and significant reduction in back pain were also observed, which lasted for at least 18 months after teriparatide discontinuation when patients were taking other osteoporosis medication. The results should be interpreted in the context of an uncontrolled observational study.},

  abstract  = {(1) Background: The health-related quality of life (HRQOL) of colorectal cancer (CRC) survivors >10 years post-diagnosis is understudied. We aimed to compare the HRQOL of CRC survivors 14-24 years post-diagnosis to that of age- and sex-matched non-cancer controls, stratified by demographic and clinical factors. (2) Methods: We used data from 506 long-term CRC survivors and 1489 controls recruited from German population-based multi-regional studies. HRQOL was assessed with the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Core-30 (EORTC QLQ-C30) questionnaire. We estimated differences in the HRQOL of CRC survivors and controls with multiple regression, adjusted for age at survey, sex, and education, where appropriate. (3) Results: CRC survivors reported poorer social functioning but better health status/QOL than controls. CRC survivors, in general, had higher levels of symptom burden, and in particular diarrhea and constipation, regardless of demographic or clinical factors. In stratified analyses, HRQOL differed by age, sex, cancer type, and having a permanent stoma. (4) Conclusions: Although CRC survivors may have a comparable health status/QOL to controls 14-24 years after diagnosis, they still live with persistent bowel dysfunction that can negatively impact aspects of functioning. Healthcare providers should provide timely and adapted follow-up care to ameliorate potential long-term suffering.},

Sowohl die Symptomskalen als auch die Funktionsskalen zeigten statistisch signifikante Unterschiede der erhobenen Werte bez{\"u}glich des Vergleichs der pr{\"a}operativen zu den postoperativen Daten, dasselbe ließ sich {\"u}ber die Werte im Rahmen der Verlaufskontrolle nach circa sechs Monaten erheben. Eine kurzfristige Einbuße der Lebensqualit{\"a}t durch einen station{\"a}ren Krankenhausaufenthalt sowie einer operativen Versorgung erscheint logisch. F{\"u}r die zuk{\"u}nftige Entscheidung vor allem auch f{\"u}r Personen, welche aufgrund einer benignen Leberraumforderung eine operative Versorgung erhalten sollen, ist zu sagen, dass die globale gesundheitsbezogene Lebensqualit{\"a}t postoperativ nach circa sechs Monaten gleich bzw. etwas gebessert ausfiel und somit eine Rechtfertigung der operativen Versorgung auch bei benignen Erkrankungen darstellen kann. Ein wesentlicher Aspekt der Arbeit ist, dass gezeigt werden konnte, dass auch bei komplexen Lebereingriffen eine schnelle Rekonvaleszenz - mindestens auf das Niveau vor dem Eingriff - innerhalb der ersten sechs Monate zu erwarten ist. Die systematische Erfassung der Lebensqualit{\"a}t hilft die postoperativen Einschr{\"a}nkungen und die Rekonvaleszenz zu normieren.},

  abstract  = {Health-related quality of life (HRQL) among migrant populations can be associated with acculturation (i.e., the process of adopting, acquiring and adjusting to a new cultural environment). Since there is a lack of longitudinal studies, we aimed to describe HRQL changes among adults of Turkish descent living in Berlin and Essen, Germany, and their association with acculturation. Participants of a population-based study were recruited in 2012-2013 and reinvited six years later to complete a questionnaire. Acculturation was assessed at baseline using the Frankfurt acculturation scale (integration, assimilation, separation and marginalization). HRQL was assessed at baseline (SF-8) and at follow-up (SF-12) resulting in a physical (PCS) and mental (MCS) sum score. Associations with acculturation and HRQL were analyzed with linear regression models using a time-by-acculturation status interaction term. In the study 330 persons were included (65\% women, mean age ± standard deviation 43.3 ± 11.8 years). Over the 6 years, MCS decreased, while PCS remained stable. While cross-sectional analyses showed associations of acculturation status with both MCS and PCS, temporal changes including the time interaction term did not reveal associations of baseline acculturation status with HRQL. When investigating HRQL in acculturation, more longitudinal studies are needed to take changes in both HRQL and acculturation status into account.},

Their implications may vary across cultures in reference to predicting health-related quality of life (HRQoL). A convenience sample of N = 200 chronic heart failure (CHF) patients was recruited at cardiology centers in Germany (n = 100) and Pakistan (n = 100). Results indicated that trait-EI predicted better mental component of HRQoL in Pakistani and German CHF patients. Friends as social support appeared relevant for German patients only. Qualitative data indicate an internal locus of control in German as compared to Pakistani patients. Strengthening the beneficial role of social support in Pakistani patients is one example of how the current findings may inspire culture-specific treatment to empower patients dealing with the detrimental effects of CHF.},

In der Nebenfragstellung wurden Unterschiede in der Wirksamkeit der Intervention in Abh{\"a}ngigkeit vom Geschlecht explorativ gepr{\"u}ft.

Die Zielparameter wurden zu Rehabeginn, -ende und 6 Monate nach Entlassung mit validierten Frageb{\"o}gen (PHQ-9, PHQ-Panik, GAD-7 und MacNew Heart Disease-Fragebogen) erfasst. Die Hauptanalyse ergab einen kleinen signifikanten Intergruppeneffekt f{\"u}r den Zielparameter Depressivit{\"a}t zugunsten der Kontrollgruppe zu Rehaende und in der Katamnese keine signifikanten Unterschiede im Behandlungserfolg beider Studienbedingungen mehr.
