Abstract
PURPOSE Taxane-associated acute pain syndrome (T-APS) is one of the most bothersome adverse effects caused by taxanes. We have previously reported the attenuating effect of dexamethasone (DEX) on T-APS and its risk factors under DEX prophylaxis. However, the appropriate DEX dosage administration remains unclear. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate whether DEX dose-dependently prevents T-APS in breast cancer patients. METHODS We retrospectively evaluated patients with breast cancer who received docetaxel (75 mg/m2)-containing chemotherapy without pegfilgrastim and regular non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. The patients were divided into 4 mg/day and 8 mg/day DEX groups, with each DEX dosage on days 2-4 (n = 68 for each group). Primary endpoint was the comparison of all-grade T-APS incidence between the groups. Propensity score-matching was performed to adjust the baseline factors between the groups, and outcomes in the matched-population were also assessed. RESULTS The incidence of all-grade T-APS was 72.1% in 4 mg/day group and 48.5% in 8 mg/day group, which was significantly lowered by higher DEX dosage (P = 0.008). The severity of T-APS was also significantly reduced in 8 mg/day group (P = 0.02). These results were confirmed in the propensity score matching. Multivariate logistic analysis showed that higher DEX dosage was an independent T-APS preventive factor, whereas age < 55 years was a risk factor. Moreover, DEX-dosage-associated adverse effects similarly appeared in both groups. CONCLUSION Our study suggested that DEX dose-dependently prevents T-APS in breast cancer treatment. As understanding of the nature of T-APS and its appropriate management can significantly contribute to less onerous chemotherapy provision, further studies are required.

Abstract
PURPOSE Taxane-associated acute pain syndrome (T-APS) reportedly occurs in approximately 70% of patients undergoing therapy. We have previously reported that additional dexamethasone (DEX) administration attenuates T-APS. The aim of this study was to reveal risk factor(s) associated with the incidence of T-APS under prophylactic DEX administration. METHODS In total, 143 patients with breast cancer who received docetaxel (75 mg/m2) or paclitaxel (175 mg/m2)-containing treatment regimens were enrolled. DEX (4-8 mg) was orally administered on days 2-4. Risk factors for the incidence of ≥ G2 and all-grade T-APS, as well as T-APS incidence between taxane-containing regimens in the first cycle, were retrospectively evaluated. RESULTS Approximately 90% of the patients received taxanes for adjuvant or neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Overall, 55% of patients administered 4 mg DEX, whereas 45% received 8 mg DEX. Pegfilgrastim was administered in 27% of patients. Incidence of ≥ G2 and all-grade T-APS was 23.8%, and 69.2%, respectively. Univariate and multivariate analyses revealed that administration of pegfilgrastim is an independent risk factor for the incidence of ≥ G2 and all-grade T-APS; age younger than 55 years is also a risk factor for all-grade T-APS. Moreover, the incidence of ≥ G2 and all-grade T-APS was 45.5% and 81.8% in a paclitaxel regimen, and 22.0% and 68.2% in docetaxel-including regimens, respectively, revealing increased tendency with paclitaxel administration, with no significant differences. CONCLUSION Pegfilgrastim co-administration is an independent risk factor for ≥ G2 and all-grade T-APS, and age younger than 55 years is a risk factor of all-grade T-APS under prophylactic DEX administration.

Abstract
Data science continues to be recognized and used within healthcare due to the increased availability of large data sets and advanced analytics. It can be challenging for nurse leaders to remain apprised of this rapidly changing landscape. In this article, we describe our findings from a scoping literature review of papers published in 2019 that use data science to explore, explain, and/or predict 15 phenomena of interest to nurses. Fourteen of the 15 phenomena were associated with at least one paper published in 2019. We identified the use of many contemporary data science methods (eg, natural language processing, neural networks) for many of the outcomes. We found many studies exploring Readmissions and Pressure Injuries. The topics of Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning Acceptance, Burnout, Patient Safety, and Unit Culture were poorly represented. We hope that the studies described in this article help readers: (1) understand the breadth and depth of data science's ability to improve clinical processes and patient outcomes that are relevant to nurses and (2) identify gaps in the literature that are in need of exploration.

Comparison of the efficacy of cryotherapy and compression therapy for preventing nanoparticle albumin-bound paclitaxel-induced peripheral neuropathy: A prospective self-controlled trial. Breast 2019; 49:219-224. [PMID: 31901783 PMCID: PMC7375545 DOI: 10.1016/j.breast.2019.12.011] [Citation(s) in RCA: 24] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/08/2019] [Revised: 12/10/2019] [Accepted: 12/14/2019] [Indexed: 01/01/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Recently, the efficacy of cryotherapy and compression therapy to prevent taxane-induced peripheral neuropathy has been reported. We prospectively compared the efficacy of cryotherapy using a frozen glove (FG) and compression therapy using a surgical glove (SG) to prevent nanoparticle albumin-bound paclitaxel (nab-PTX)-induced peripheral neuropathy. PATIENTS AND METHODS Breast cancer patients who received 260 mg/m2 of nab-PTX were eligible to participate in this trial. Patients wore a FG on one hand (60 min) without changing and two SGs of the same size (i.e., one size smaller than the size that best fit their hand) on the other hand (90 min) during chemotherapy. Peripheral neuropathy was evaluated at each treatment cycle using Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 4.0, the Patient Neurotoxicity Questionnaire (PNQ), and the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Taxane subscale. Temperatures at each fingertip in both groups were measured thermographically. RESULTS Between August 2017 and March 2019, 43 patients were enrolled and 38 were evaluated. No cases showed discordance of peripheral neuropathy between each gloved group in cases of CTCAE ≥ grade 2. In cases of PNQ ≥ grade D, using the Nam equivalence test, the upper test (P = 0.0329) and lower test (P = 0.0052) both showed negative results in comparisons between each gloved group. Fingertip temperature was significantly lower in the FG group than in the SG group after treatment (P < 0.0001). CONCLUSIONS It seems to be no difference in incidence of nab-PTX-induced peripheral neuropathy using either cryotherapy or compression therapy.
