Postoperative Lebens- und Kontinenzqualität nach totaler mesorektaler Exzision bei Rektumkarzinom
(2020)
In der vorliegenden Arbeit wurde retrospektiv die Lebens- und Kontinenzqualität von Patienten, die aufgrund eines Rektumkarzinoms mittels totaler mesorektaler Exzision operiert wurden, erfasst. Ein Zusammenhang zwischen Lebens-und Kontinenzqualität wurde untersucht.
Die Erhebung der Lebensqualität erfolgte mittels GIQLI (Gastrointestinal Quality of Life Index) und der Kontinenzqualität mit Hilfe des Wexner- und Cleveland Clinic Constipation-Score.
Ergänzend dazu wurden Patientendaten erhoben und kombiniert mit den Antworten der Fragebögen ausgewertet.
Postoperativ zeigte sich eine zunächst verminderte Lebensqualität, die sich über die Jahre wieder den Ergebnissen gesunder Probanden annäherte. Patienten mit einem im mittleren Rektumdrittel befindlichen Tumor erzielten bessere Ergebnisse im Lebensqualitätsbogen.
Die Kontinenz war vor allem von der Art der Anastomose abhängig. Die Tumorlokalisation zeigte sich ohne große Einflussnahme auf die Kontinenzleistung. Die Rekonstruktion mittels J-Pouch oder Latero-terminaler Anastomose war der geraden Anastomosierung vorzuziehen. Postoperative Komplikationen traten vermehrt bei einem im unteren Rektumdrittel lokalisierten Tumor auf. Signifikant häufiger wurden Stenosen diagnostiziert.
Eine gute Kontinenzleistung wirkte sich auf alle fünf Bereiche, die der GIQLI abfragt aus und korrelierte somit mit einem höheren Maß an Lebensqualität.
Hypophosphatasia (HPP) is a rare, inherited, metabolic disease caused by deficient tissue non‐specific alkaline phosphatase activity. This study aims to assess patient‐reported pain, disability and health‐related quality of life (HRQoL) in a real‐world cohort of adults with HPP who were not receiving asfotase alfa during the analysis. Adults (≥18 years old) with HPP (confirmed by ALPL gene mutation and/or low serum alkaline phosphatase activity for age/sex) were identified from the Global HPP Registry (NCT02306720). Demographics, clinical characteristics, and data on patient‐reported pain, disability, and HRQoL (assessed by Brief Pain Inventory Short Form [BPI‐SF], Health Assessment Questionnaire Disability Index [HAQ‐DI], and 36‐Item Short‐Form Health Survey version 2 [SF‐36v2], respectively) were stratified by pediatric‐ and adult‐onset HPP and summarized descriptively. Of the 304 adults included (median [min, max] age 48.6 [18.8, 79.8] years; 74% women), 45% had adult‐onset HPP and 33% had pediatric‐onset HPP (unknown age of onset, 22%). Of those with data, 38% had experienced ≥5 HPP manifestations and 62% had a history of ≥1 fracture/pseudofracture. Median (Q1, Q3) BPI‐SF scores were 3.5 (1.5, 5.3) for pain severity and 3.3 (0.9, 6.2) for pain interference. Median (Q1, Q3) disability on the HAQ‐DI was 0.3 (0.0, 0.7). Median (Q1, Q3) physical and mental component summary scores on the SF‐36v2 were 42.4 (32.7, 49.9) and 45.3 (36.3, 54.8), respectively. Greater numbers of HPP manifestations experienced/body systems affected correlated significantly with poorer scores on the BPI‐SF, HAQ‐DI, and SF‐36v2 (all p < 0.05). No significant differences between adults with pediatric‐ and adult‐onset HPP were observed for patient‐reported outcomes, except for disability and the BPI‐SF question “pain at its worst,” which were significantly higher among adults with pediatric‐ versus adult‐onset HPP (p = 0.03 and 0.04, respectively). These data from the Global HPP Registry show that adults with HPP have a substantial burden of illness that is associated with reduced patient‐reported HRQoL, regardless of age of disease onset.
Background: Multimodal rehabilitation improves fatigue and mobility in persons with multiple sclerosis (PwMS). Effects are transient and may be conserved by internet-based physical activity promotion programs. Objective: Evaluate the effects of internet-based physical activity and exercise promotion on fatigue, quality of life, and gait in PwMS after inpatient rehabilitation. Methods: PwMS (Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) ≤ 6.0, fatigue: Würzburg Fatigue Inventory for Multiple Sclerosis (WEIMuS) ≥ 32) were randomized into an intervention group (IG) or a control group (CG). After rehabilitation, IG received 3 months of internet-based physical activity promotion, while CG received no intervention. Primary outcome: self-reported fatigue (WEIMuS). Secondary outcomes: quality of life (Multiple Sclerosis Impact Scale 29, MSIS-29), gait (2min/10m walking test, Tinetti score). Measurements: beginning (T0) and end (T1) of inpatient rehabilitation, 3 (T2) and 6 (T3) months afterwards. Results: 64 of 84 PwMS were analyzed (IG: 34, CG: 30). After rehabilitation, fatigue decreased in both groups. At T2 and T3, fatigue increased again in CG but was improved in IG (p < 0.001). MSIS-29 improved in both groups at T1 but remained improved at T2 and T3 only in IG. Gait improvements were more pronounced in IG at T2. Conclusions: The study provides Class II evidence that the effects of rehabilitation on fatigue, quality of life, and gait can be maintained for 3–6 months with an internet-based physical activity and exercise promotion program.
