Cancer Med 2024; 13:e7409. [PMID: 38967515 PMCID: PMC11225646 DOI: 10.1002/cam4.7409] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/24/2023] [Revised: 05/08/2024] [Accepted: 06/07/2024] [Indexed: 07/06/2024] Open
Abstract
AIM This study aimed to explore the association between patient-reported items at different time points after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) and long-term survival. METHODS We conducted a study with 144 allogeneic HSCT patients, following them for 5 years post-transplantation. Data from the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Bone Marrow Transplant (FACT-BMT) questionnaire were collected before transplantation and at 1, 3, 6, 12, 18, 36, and 60 months after transplantation. Demographic characteristics and survival status were also assessed. RESULTS Among the 144 cases, the 5-year overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS), non-relapse mortality (NRM), and graft-versus-host disease-free (GRFS) rates were 65%, 48%, 17%, and 36% respectively. Health-related quality of life (HRQOL) showed a fluctuating pattern over 5 years. Using a latent class mixed model, patients were classified into two groups based on their physical well-being (PWB) scores during the 60-month follow-up. Class 1 had initially lower PWB scores, which gradually increased over time. In contrast, Class 2 maintained higher PWB scores with slight increases over time. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis revealed that Class 1 had better OS (70.9% vs. 52.9%, p = 0.021), PFS (60.5% vs. 41.2%, p = 0.039), and GRFS (35.1% vs. 29.3%, p = 0.035) compared to Class 2. CONCLUSIONS Patients who had higher initial PWB scores after HSCT demonstrated improved long-term survival outcomes. The PWB score could serve as a valuable predictor for the prognosis of HSCT.

Abstract
AIM This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between psychological empowerment, depression, anxiety, and quality of life in people with haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). DESIGN A longitudinal prospective study. METHODS A sample of 150 people with haematological was recruited at Santaros Clinics in Lithuania between September 2020 and April 2022. Demographic characteristics, cancer-related characteristics, depression, anxiety, psychological empowerment and quality of life (QoL) were assessed using self-report questionnaires before and 10-12 weeks after HSCT. Descriptive statistics, correlation and moderation analyses were performed. RESULTS The results showed that psychological empowerment had a significant correlation with patients' depression, anxiety and QoL. Patients who were more empowered before HSCT had a subjectively better QoL before and after HSCT and were less depressed after transplantation. The results showed that empowerment was a moderator between depression and QoL after transplantation, but it had a significant effect on the QoL only among patients who are less depressed. PATIENT OR PUBLIC CONTRIBUTION With this study, we aim to contribute to a better understanding of the psychological experiences of people with HSCT. Particularly, psychological empowerment is an important factor in preparing for this treatment. Medical professionals like nurses can be crucial contributors to implementing and strengthening psychological empowerment.

Abstract
Objective This cross-sectional correlational study aims to explore the relationship between social constraints and the quality of life of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HCT) survivors. Additionally, we also seek to demonstrate the chain mediating effect of illness perceptions and the fear of cancer recurrence on this relationship. Methods Convenience sampling was employed in this study. A total of 232 HCT survivors were interviewed using the Social Constraints Scale, the Brief Illness Perception Questionnaire, the Fear of Cancer Recurrence Inventory (Short Form) and the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Bone Marrow Transplant. IBM SPSS 24.0 were used for data analyses, and PROCESS macro (Model 6) was used to examine the hypothesized chain mediation model. Results A positive relationship between social constraints and quality of life verified the mediating effect of illness perceptions and the fear of cancer recurrence on this relationship. Social constraints affect the quality of life of HCT survivors via three pathways: the mediating role of illness perceptions, the mediating role of fear of cancer recurrence and the chain mediating effect of both factors. Conclusion The chain mediating effect of illness perceptions and the fear of cancer recurrence on quality of life indicates that these two variables have important practical significance with respect to improving HCT survivors' physical and mental health. The study thus serves as a reference for health workers to improve HCT survivors' quality of life in the future.

Abstract
Our main purpose was to evaluate health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in β-thalassemia major patients who underwent transplantation from September 2012 to November 2019. The PedsQL 4.0 scale proxy version was administered to 221 transplant patients aged 5-18 years. Their HRQOL results in the proxy-report were compared with those in the proxy-report of 429 matched healthy peers and 198 matched nontransplant patients. Compared with their healthy peers, the transplant patients exhibited worse HRQOL in the physical health domain (P < 0.001), school domain (P < 0.001) and overall scores (P = 0.006). Patients within 4 years after transplantation exhibited physical functioning (P < 0.001), school functioning (P < 0.001) and overall HRQOL damage (P = 0.001); the scores across all domains for patients more than 4 years after transplantation were not significantly different from those for the healthy controls. The transplant patients rated their HRQOL for all domains better than the nontransplant patients (P < 0.001). The HRQOL of patients after human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-matched related and HLA-matched unrelated donor transplantation were not significantly different. Chronic graft-versus-host disease and two or more comorbidities were independently negatively associated with overall HRQOL outcomes (P = 0.032 and P < 0.001, respectively). In conclusion, patients more than 4 years after transplantation achieve an HRQOL equal to that of their healthy peers.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Music therapy can improve mood in patients undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). However, live music (LM) delivered by professional music therapists is not common in developing countries owing to the shortage of professional music therapists. Thus, in this study, we explored the effects of a multidisciplinary collaborative intervention based on LM on physical and psychological well-being of adolescent and young adult (AYA) patients undergoing HSCT with a quasi-experimental design. METHODS A total of 62 AYA patients agreed to participate and were randomly assigned to the intervention group receiving 4-week LM therapy (n = 31) or control group receiving usual care (n = 31). Depression, salivary cortisol, fatigue, and quality of life were the main outcome indicators measured at baseline, immediately after the intervention, 1 month, and 3 months follow-up. The intervention effects were analyzed by generalized estimating equations. RESULTS Significant decrease in HADS-D scores occurred in the intervention group compared with wait-list controls at immediately after intervention (p < 0.05). Participants in the LM group had greater improvement in quality of life and lower salivary cortisol level than those in the wait-list control group at immediately, 1 month, and 3 months after intervention (p < 0.05). However, the interaction effects of the BFI scores were not significant. CONCLUSIONS LM therapy significantly alleviated depression and salivary cortisol levels as well as improved quality of life of AYA patients undergoing HSCT.

Comparable Outcomes and Health-Related Quality of Life for Severe Aplastic Anemia: Haploidentical Combined With a Single Cord Blood Unit vs Matched Related Transplants. Front Oncol 2022; 11:714033. [PMID: 35117985 PMCID: PMC8804318 DOI: 10.3389/fonc.2021.714033] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/24/2021] [Accepted: 12/22/2021] [Indexed: 12/22/2022] Open
Abstract
We retrospectively compared the outcomes and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) of severe aplastic anemia (SAA) patients who received haploidentical hematopoietic stem cell transplantation with a single unrelated cord blood unit (Haplo-cord HSCT) (n = 180) or matched related donor (MRD)-HSCT (n = 128). After propensity score matching, we were able to match 88 patients in each group and to compare the outcomes between the two matched-pair groups. Haplo-cord recipients exhibited a longer median days for neutrophil engraftment (12 vs 11, P = 0.001) and for platelet engraftment (15 vs 13, P = 0.003). Haplo-cord recipients a high cumulative incidence of grades II–IV acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) (29.8 vs 14.0%, P = 0.006), while similar III–IV acute GVHD, total chronic GVHD, and moderate to severe chronic GVHD at four-year (all P < 0.05). Among the Haplo-cord HSCT and MRD-HSCT groups, the four-year GVHD-free/failure-free survival rates were 73.5% and 66.9% (P = 0.388) respectively, and the overall survival rates were 81.5% and 77.2% (P = 0.484), respectively. Similar comparable results also were observed between the corresponding first-line, older or younger than 40 years old subgroups. The Haplo-cord HSCT group exhibited higher scores in the physical component summary, physical functioning, general health and social functioning than the MRD-HSCT group (all P < 0.05). In the multivariate analysis, young age and Haplo-cord HSCT were favorable factors for HRQoL, while moderate to severe cGVHD was associated with lower HRQoL. These results suggest that for SAA patients, Haplo-cord HSCT could achieve at least comparable efficacy and HRQoL to MRD-HSCT.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess the domains of quality of life related to hematologic cancer patient health in the first three years from autologous and allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. METHOD A prospective cohort from September 2013 to February 2019 at a reference service in Latin America with 55 patients. The instruments Quality of Life Questionnaire Core C30 and Functional Assessment Cancer Therapy - Bone Marrow Transplantation were used. For data analysis, Generalized Linear Mixed Model was used. RESULTS The domains global and overall quality of life presented the lowest scores in the pancytopenia phase: 59.3 and 91.4 in autologous, 55.3 and 90.3 in allogeneic. The mixed method analysis has shown that there was a significant change in scores between the phases throughout the treatment (p< 0.05). CONCLUSION Health-related quality of life presented significant changes in the domains between the phases throughout time. Understanding these results enables nursing interventions directed at the domains which were damaged during treatment.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of the relaxation technique with guided imagery by means of virtual reality on health-related quality of life in patients undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. METHODS A quasi-experiment conducted in a Bone Marrow Transplantation Service of a public hospital in southern Brazil. From October 2019 to October 2020, forty-two adult participants who underwent transplantation were included, 35 in the intervention group and seven in the control group. A guided imagery intervention, with audio guiding the relaxation associated with nature images in 360º, was performed during the hospitalization period. Data were collected on the first day of hospitalization, on the transplantation day, during the neutropenia stage, and at pre-hospital discharge. The Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Bone Marrow Transplantation (FACT-BMT), Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy-Fatigue (FACIT-Fatigue) and Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Neutropenia (FACT-N) were used to assess health-related quality of life, fatigue and neutropenia. Data were analyzed using the Generalized Linear Mixed Model for the evolution of the health-related quality of life assessments over time, considering the groups and stages. Pearson's correlation coefficient was adopted for the correlation analyses. RESULTS Allogeneic transplantation was predominant: 28 (80%) in the intervention group and 5 (71.43%) in the control group. There were improvements in the health-related quality of life scores, although not significant. A significant difference was found among the stages (p <0.050) and a significant positive correlation (p <0.000) among the variables on general quality of life, additional concerns, fatigue and neutropenia in all stages. CONCLUSION Patients undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation suffer changes in their quality of life. Interventions based on integrative practices emerge as an option to minimize them. <br />.

[PMID: 32768289 DOI: 10.1016/j.transproceed.2020.06.037] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/12/2019] [Revised: 06/03/2020] [Accepted: 06/29/2020] [Indexed: 02/08/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Health-related quality of life (HRQOL) has increasingly been accepted as a supplementary outcome measure for patients before and after lung transplantation (LT). This longitudinal study was conducted to recognize the tracks of HRQOL during the first year after transplantation and the main factors associated with HRQOL of LT recipients. The research was conducted in accordance with the 2000 Declaration of Helsinki and the Declaration of Istanbul 2008. The transplant organs were from volunteer donation, and next of kin provided written informed consents of their own free will. No prisoners were used, and donors were neither paid nor coerced. METHODS A total of 118 patients were investigated before and 3, 6, 9, and 12 months post-transplantation. The Medical Outcomes SF-36 (Chinese version) was used to measure the HRQOL. The recipients' demographic characteristics and clinical data were evaluated to determine the relative contributions to HRQOL outcomes. RESULTS Recipients reported a mean physical component summary of 39.62 ± 6.57, 57.90 ± 9.99, 59.15 ± 8.73, 58.79 ± 8.52, and 58.72 ± 8.99 before transplantation and at 3, 6, 9, and 12 months after LT (F = 64.960, P < .001). By 3 months after transplant, patients experienced significant improvement in physical component summary (MD = 18.27, SE = 1.52, P < .001); but between 3 and 12 months, no significant improvement was observed (MD = 0.82, SE = 1.77, P = .645). Patients reported a continuous rise with means of 44.63 ± 5.35, 51.13 ± 10.25, 51.92 ± 9.72, 53.23 ± 10.34, and 55.40 ± 8.83 for the mental component summary before LT and at 3, 6, 9, and 12 months after transplant (F = 13.059, P < .001). By 3 months after transplant, patients experienced significant improvement in mental component summary (MD = 6.50, SE = 1.50, P < .001). Between 3 and 12 months, a continuous significant improvement was observed (MD = 4.27, SE = 1.92, P = .030). The generalized estimated equation showed that age, marital status, residence, disease diagnosis, transplant type, sleep disorders, gastrointestinal complications, and BODE index (body mass index, obstruction, dyspnea, exercise) were all found to be related to HRQOL. CONCLUSION The HRQOL of LT patients improved significantly at 3 months after transplantation, but between 3 and 12 months after transplantation, the changes were not obvious. Health practitioners should pay more attention to elderly patients, unmarried patients, patients living in urban areas, patients diagnosed with pneumoconiosis, patients with left single-lung transplantation, patients with sleep disorders, patients with high BODE indexes, and patients with gastrointestinal complications.

Quality of Life following Allogeneic Stem Cell Transplantation for Patients Age >60 Years with Acute Myelogenous Leukemia. Biol Blood Marrow Transplant 2020; 26:1527-1533. [PMID: 32422252 DOI: 10.1016/j.bbmt.2020.04.020] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/27/2019] [Revised: 04/13/2020] [Accepted: 04/16/2020] [Indexed: 10/24/2022]
Abstract
This study of patients with acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) age ≥60 years analyzed the association between patients' performance indices-Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation Comorbidity Index (HCT-CI), Karnofsky Performance Score (KPS), and European Society for Blood and Marrow Transplantation (EBMT) risk score-before undergoing allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) and quality of life (QoL), quantified using the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Bone Marrow Transplant Scale (FACT-BMT), in the first year after allo-HSCT. Over a period of 7 years, 48 evaluable patients underwent reduced-intensity conditioning allo-HSCT. The median patient age was 65 years (range, 60 to 74 years), with 2-year and 5-year overall survival (OS) of 65.8% and 52.3%, respectively. A significant improvement across all QoL scores was observed over the 12 months post-HSCT. An HCT-CI of 0 was associated with improved general QoL (FACT-G) score at 6 months compared with patients with an HCT-CI of 1 to 2 (P= .032). At 12 months post-HSCT, a pretransplantation HCT-CI ≥3 was correlated with lower QoL scores across the domains (symptom-related QoL [FACT-TOI], P= .036; FACT-G, P= .05; BMT-related QoL [FACT-BMT], P= .036). A pretransplantation KPS score of 100 versus 80 to 90 was predictive of improved QoL at 6 months post-HSCT (FACT-TOI, P = .009; FACT-G, P= .001; FACT-BMT, P= .002) but not at 1 year post-HSCT. We demonstrate that KPS and HCT-CI can predict QoL in the early post-transplantation period, with a favorable overall survival in a selected cohort of AML patients age ≥60 years.

[PMID: 31016820 DOI: 10.1111/jog.13978] [Citation(s) in RCA: 25] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/07/2018] [Accepted: 04/06/2019] [Indexed: 12/15/2022]
Abstract
AIM To identify the characteristics of fear of cancer recurrence (FCR) in breast cancer patients after surgery and investigate the relationship of FCR with demographic and medical characteristics, quality of life (QOL) and social support. METHODS The short version of the Fear of Progression Questionnaire (FoP-Q-SF), the functional assessment of cancer therapy for breast cancer (FACT-B) and the Social Support Rating Scale were administered to the 342 breast cancer patients who had undergone surgical treatment. The analysis was performed to determine potential predictors associated with FCR. RESULTS Of the 465 patients, 342 (73.5%) agreed to take part in the study. The mean age of participants was 51.46 ± 10.50 years (range, 30-81). Of the 342 participants, 92 (26.9%) cases were at Stage I, 131 (38.3%) cases at Stage II, 34 (9.9%) patients at Stage III and 85 (24.9%) patients at Stage IV. Among the 12 items of the FoP-Q-SF, the three greatest fears were: Item 10 'Worrying that medications could damage the body', Item 1 'Being afraid of disease progression' and Item 2 'Being nervous prior to doctors' appointments or periodic examinations'. About 68.4% of patients reported the dysfunctional level of fear of progression. Multiple linear regression analysis showed that religious belief, family income, disease stages, social support, QOL were identified as independent predictors for FCR. CONCLUSION We found that FCR is prevalent in postoperative breast cancer patients, and is influenced by many factors. It is necessary to implement positive intervention measures to alleviate the FCR and improve the QOL of patients.
