Totally laparoscopic versus laparoscopy-assisted distal gastrectomy: the KLASS-07: a randomized controlled trial. Int J Surg 2024; 110:4810-4820. [PMID: 38716987 PMCID: PMC11325945 DOI: 10.1097/js9.0000000000001543] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/08/2024] [Accepted: 04/15/2024] [Indexed: 05/31/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUNDS Strong evidence is lacking as no confirmatory randomized controlled trials (RCTs) have compared the efficacy of totally laparoscopic distal gastrectomy (TLDG) with laparoscopy-assisted distal gastrectomy (LADG). The authors performed an RCT to confirm if TLDG is different from LADG. METHODS The KLASS-07 trial is a multi-centre, open-label, parallel-group, phase III, RCT of 442 patients with clinical stage I gastric cancer. Patients were enroled from 21 cancer care centres in South Korea between January 2018 and September 2020 and randomized to undergo TLDG or LADG using blocked randomization with a 1:1 allocation ratio, stratified by the participating investigators. Patients were treated through R0 resections by TLDG or LADG as the full analysis set of the KLASS-07 trial. The primary endpoint was morbidity within postoperative day 30, and the secondary endpoint was quality of life (QoL) for 1 year. This trial is registered at ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT03393182). RESULTS Four hundred forty-two patients were randomized (222 to TLDG, 220 to LADG), and 422 patients were included in the pure analysis (213 and 209, respectively). The overall complication rate did not differ between the two groups (TLDG vs. LADG: 12.2% vs. 17.2%). However, TLDG provided less postoperative ileus and pulmonary complications than LADG (0.9% vs. 5.7%, P= 0.006; and 0.5% vs. 4.3%, P= 0.035, respectively). The QoL was better after TLDG than after LADG regarding emotional functioning at 6 months, pain at 3 months, anxiety at 3 and 6 months, and body image at 3 and 6 months (all P< 0.05). However, these QoL differences were resolved at 1 year. CONCLUSIONS The KLASS-07 trial confirmed that TLDG is not different from LADG in terms of postoperative complications but has the advantages to reduce ileus and pulmonary complications. TLDG can be a good option to offer better QoL in terms of pain, body image, emotion, and anxiety at 3-6 months.

[PMID: 38240829 DOI: 10.1007/s00520-024-08306-8] [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: 08/09/2023] [Accepted: 01/04/2024] [Indexed: 01/23/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM Previous studies reported inconsistent results on the prevalence and prognostic implications of frailty among older adults with gastric cancer. This systematic review synthesized available literature pertaining on this topic to establish the prevalence and unfavorable outcomes of frailty in older adults with gastric cancer. METHODS A comprehensive search was conducted across multiple English databases including PubMed, Cochrane Library, CINAHL, Embase, and Web of Science as well as Chinese databases, namely, CNKI, Wan Fang, and CBM, from inception to July 4, 2023, to identify potential studies. Data related to the incidence of frailty and its unfavorable outcomes in older adults with gastric cancer were extracted. RevMan5.3 and R 4.2.2 were used to evaluate pooled prevalence, hazard ratios (HR), and 95% confidence interval (CI). RESULTS This review comprehensively selected 13 studies, comprising 9 cohort studies and 4 cross-sectional studies, on 44,117 older adults diagnosed with gastric cancer. The incidence of frailty among older adults with gastric cancer ranged from 10 to 71%. The pooled prevalence of frailty was 29% (95% CI 0.21-0.39). Frailty was found to be associated with an elevated risk of postoperative complications (HR = 1.99, 95% CI 1.45-2.73), prolonged postoperative hospital stay (HR = 2.68, 95% CI 2.38-3.02), likelihood of readmission (HR = 3.28, 95% CI 1.77-6.08), and an increased mortality risk (HR = 1.60, 95% CI 1.36-1.90). CONCLUSIONS Frailty was associated with a poor prognosis in older adults with gastric cancer. Clinical medical staff should focus on the frailty of older adults with gastric cancer, conduct large-scale, multicenter, and prospective studies and early screening of patients, and provide guidance for the implementation of prevention and treatment strategies.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study aimed to explore the mediating role of resilience and resignation coping in the relationship between consultation empathy and depression in patients with COVID-19. DESIGN Cross-sectional study. SETTING Participants were recruited from a tertiary hospital in Guangzhou, Guangdong province. PARTICIPANTS A total of 215 patients were recruited for this study. OUTCOME MEASURES A total of 215 patients completed the Consultation and Relational Empathy Measure, Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale, Medical Coping Modes Questionnaire and Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale. PROCESS 4.1 model 6 was used to analyse the moderated mediating effects. RESULTS Consultation empathy had a positive correlation with resilience (r=0.34, p<0.001), and a negative correlation with resignation (r=-0.288, p<0.001) and depression (r=-0.379, p<0.001). Resilience had a negative correlation with resignation (r=-0.463, p<0.001) and depression (r=-0.605, p<0.001). Resignation had a positive correlation (r=0.547, p<0.001) with depression. In the moderated mediating model, consultation empathy had significant indirect predictive effects on depression through resilience (95% CI -0.093 to -0.030) or resignation (95% CI -0.043 to -0.005). Consultation empathy had significant indirect predictive effects on depression through both resilience and resignation (95% CI -0.030 to -0.008). CONCLUSIONS Consultation empathy not only predicted depression directly, but also indirectly predicted depression through the chain mediating effects of resilience and resignation coping.

Long-term health-related quality of life in patients with gastric cancer after total or distal gastrectomy: a propensity score-matched cohort study. Int J Surg 2023; 109:3283-3293. [PMID: 37526103 PMCID: PMC10651271 DOI: 10.1097/js9.0000000000000620] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/18/2023] [Accepted: 07/10/2023] [Indexed: 08/02/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Surgical resection remains the cornerstone of treatment for locally advanced gastric cancer (LAGC) and is accompanied by potential deterioration in patients' health-related quality of life (HRQOL). As an important indicator of the psychosocial burden, HRQOL has become an essential endpoint to evaluate the efficacy and impact of cancer treatment. We examined longitudinal changes in HRQOL among patients with LAGC receiving total gastrectomy (TG) or distal gastrectomy (DG) over time. MATERIALS AND METHODS The patients in this study were from a prospective observational study (NCT04408859) conducted during 2018-2022. We used the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire-Core 30 and the stomach module questionnaire to evaluate HRQOL at baseline and at postoperative months 1, 3, 6, and 12. We used linear mixed models to analyze longitudinal changes in HRQOL between groups and correlations with follow-up time. RESULTS A total of 219 patients were included. After propensity score matching, 186 patients were ultimately analyzed. Compared with the DG group, patients in the TG group reported significantly poorer global health status, physical functioning, and role functioning and more severe fatigue, insomnia, appetite loss, pain, and financial problems. Gastric-specific symptoms, dysphagia, chest and abdominal pain, reflux, restricted eating, and anxiety were more common and severe in the TG group. Most scales showed deterioration at months 1 and 3 after surgery, with gradual recovery thereafter, except the scales for global health status, pain, chest and abdominal pain, and reflux, which improved continually compared with baseline. TG was associated with worsening in at least six HRQOL domains for each measure after baseline, compared with DG. CONCLUSIONS In contrast with DG, TG had an adverse impact on postoperative HRQOL scales in patients with LAGC. Different HRQOL scales had various recovery trajectories after surgery. Effects of the gastrectomy scope on patients' HRQOL should be considered together with sound oncology principles.

Abstract
Advanced gastrointestinal endoscopy includes a group of specialized procedures and interventions that are being performed more frequently, with little attention given to a patient's preprocedural anxiety issues. Compounding this concern, in 2020 the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in the delay of many endoscopy cases. It is unknown how this affected the anxiety of patients preparing for advanced endoscopy procedures. Patients with higher anxiety require higher doses of anesthetic medications, and experience increased pain and decreased satisfaction. The purpose of this study was to describe the biological, psychological, and social attributes of patients and identify whether social support, COVID-19-related anxiety, delay of procedure, patient's physical status, and procedural indication category were predictors of state anxiety levels in patients undergoing advanced gastrointestinal endoscopy during the COVID-19 pandemic. The research study was a cross-sectional descriptive design with 90 patients. Patients were classified into low state and high state anxiety groups. Fifty-eight percent of patients had high state anxiety scores. Using logistic regression, social support was identified as a predictor of preprocedural anxiety (odds ratio [OR] = 0.318 [95% confidence interval, CI = 0.170, 0.597, p < .001]) as less social support was associated with higher anxiety. It is imperative that strategies to maximize social support are reinforced.

Abstract
BACKGROUND High-grade inflammation represents a critical contribution to the onset of depression and might be manageable by physical activity (PA). Nevertheless, no study has examined synergistic interactions of insufficient PA and high values of the systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) on psychological problems. OBJECTIVE We investigated independent and synergistic interactions of insufficient PA and high SII levels on stress, anxiety, and depression in T2DM patients. METHODS A cross-sectional research design with 294 T2DM patients was conducted. An XP-100 automated hematology analyzer was used to evaluate inflammatory biomarkers. Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale-21 items and a standardized questionnaire about PA were respectively used to measure psychological problems and metabolic equivalent of task (MET)-h/week. RESULTS A multiple linear regression demonstrated that patients with insufficient PA were significantly more likely to have higher stress (β = 1.84, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.03-2.65), anxiety (β = 1.88, 95% CI = 1.81-2.96), and depression (β = 2.53, 95% CI = 0.82-4.24) than those with active PA. A high SII level was a key predictor and was most strongly associated with stress (β = 2.61, 95% CI = 2.02-3.20), anxiety (β = 3.16, 95% CI = 2.37-3.94), and depression (β = 3.72, 95% CI = 2.49-4.96) compared to those who had low SII levels. Notably, additive interaction results showed that combining insufficient PA and a high SII level had a significantly escalated 1.71-fold risk of stress, 1.82-fold risk of anxiety, and 2.69-fold risk of depression. CONCLUSIONS Active PA and a low SII had a positive synergistic effect of decreasing psychological problems.

Abstract
Objective To investigate the prevalence of postoperative kinesiophobia in patients with cervical spondylotic myelopathy (CSM) and factors influencing the occurrence of kinesiophobia, to provide relevant basis for making clinical decisions for targeted interventions. Methods We enrolled a total of 85 patients who underwent CSM surgery at two grade-A general public hospitals in Fujian Province between September 2021 and May 2022. We conducted a questionnaire survey using the Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia (TSK) and the Zung Self-Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS). Patients evaluated pain using a visual analogue scale. We used one-way ANOVA and logistic multiple regression analysis to identify the relevant influencing factors. Results The TSK score was (41.88±4.46) in 85 postoperative CSM patients, 65 males and 20 females, and there were 31 patients under 40 years old, 54 patients over 40 years old, 58 patients below high school education and 27 patients above high school education, and among them, 81.17% were diagnosed with kinesiophobia. Age was positively correlated with TSK score (r = 0.379, P < 0.05) and therefore a risk factor for kinesiophobia (OR = 1.941, 95% CI = 1.021-3.690). Additionally, the duration of the disease was a protective factor for kinesiophobia (OR = 0.179, 95% CI = 0.053-0.605). Conclusion Patients with CSM were at high risk of developing kinesiophobia postoperatively. Age and duration of the disease were factors influencing the occurrence of kinesiophobia in this group.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The study's goal was to investigate the percentage of anxiety and depression in Chinese thymoma patients before surgery, and also the factors that influence it. METHODS The study included patients who had an anterior mediastinal mass discovered by chest CT and were scheduled for video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery. The mental health rating scales were completed by all patients before surgery. Patients were divided into two groups based on the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS): anxiety/depression and non-anxiety/depression. The association between thymoma clinical factors and the HADS score was studied statistically. RESULTS The study comprised eighty patients with thymoma. Before the operation, 22.5% (18/80) of the patients had anxiety and/or depression. The resigned coping style characteristics, along with myasthenia gravis (MG), were associated with preoperative anxiety and depression. The greater the score of the resigned dimension, the greater the risk of anxiety and depression, based on the results of logical regression analysis. Thymoma patients with myasthenia gravis have a higher risk of anxiety and depression. CONCLUSION Patients with myasthenia gravis and resigned coping style were found to have higher anxiety and depression before surgery for Chinese thymoma patients.

BACKGROUND The context of the COVID-19 pandemic has harmed the mental health of the population, increasing the incidence of mental health problems such as depression, especially in those who have had COVID-19. Our study puts forward an explanatory model of depressive symptoms based on subjective psychological factors in those hospitalized for COVID-19 with and without biological markers (i.e., inflammatory markers). Therefore, we aim to evaluate the hypotheses proposed in the model to predict the presence of depressive symptoms. METHOD We conducted a cross-sectional study, using a simple random sampling. Data from 277 hospitalized patients with COVID-19 in Lima-Peru, were collected to assess mental health variables (i.e., depressive, anxiety, post-traumatic stress, and somatic symptoms), self-perception of COVID-19 related symptoms, and neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR) such as inflammatory marker. We performed a structural equation modeling analysis to evaluate a predictive model of depressive symptoms. RESULTS The results showed a prevalence of depressive symptoms (11.2%), anxiety symptoms (7.9%), somatic symptoms (2.2%), and symptoms of post-traumatic stress (6.1%) in the overall sample. No association was found between the prevalence of these mental health problems among individuals with and without severe inflammatory response. The mental health indicators with the highest prevalence were sleep problems (48%), low energy (47.7%), nervousness (48.77%), worry (47.7%), irritability (43.7%) and back pain (52%) in the overall sample. The model proposed to explain depressive symptoms was able to explain more than 83.7% of the variance and presented good goodness-of-fit indices. Also, a different performance between the proposed model was found between those with and without severe inflammatory response. This difference was mainly found in the relationship between anxiety and post-traumatic stress symptoms, and between the perception of COVID-19 related symptoms and somatic symptoms. CONCLUSIONS Results demonstrated that our model of mental health variables may explain depressive symptoms in hospitalized patients of COVID-19 from a third-level hospital in Peru. In the model, perception of symptoms influences somatic symptoms, which impact both anxiety symptoms and symptoms of post-traumatic stress. Thus, anxiety symptoms could directly influence depressive symptoms or through symptoms of post-traumatic stress. Our findings could be useful to decision-makers for the prevention of depression, used to inform the creation of screening tools (i.e., perception of symptoms, somatic and anxiety symptoms) to identify vulnerable patients to depression.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Depression is one of the most important psychiatric disorders in chronic kidney disease patients who undergo maintenance hemodialysis (MHD). Previous studies have shown that low-grade inflammation is involved in the progression of depressive symptoms. The neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) is an inflammatory marker that is inexpensive and easy to measure. However, the association between NLR and depression symptoms in MHD patients has not been examined. METHODS In this single-center, cross-sectional study, we included 160 patients undergoing MHD. The Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) was used to assess depressive symptoms. NLR was calculated as the ratio of neutrophils to lymphocytes. Multinomial logistic regression and multivariate linear regression analyses were used to examine the association between NLR and depressive symptoms in MHD patients. RESULTS Depressive symptoms were detected in 36.7% of the 160 MHD patients. Multinomial logistic regression showed that NLR was a significant predictor of mild (odds ratio [OR]: 1.383, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.015-1.884, p = 0.04) and moderate/moderately severe depressive symptoms (OR: 1.441, 95% CI: 1.017-2.042, p = 0.04) in MHD patients, adjusted for age, sex, Kt/V, dialysis duration, history of kidney transplantation, history of hypertension, and Charlson comorbidity index score. In addition, multivariate linear regression analysis showed that NLR was an independent influencing factor for PHQ-9 score in MHD patients, after adjusting for confounding factors. CONCLUSIONS These findings suggest that NLR can be used as a biomarker for predicting depressive symptoms in MHD patients.

Health-Related Quality of Life and Utility Scores of Posttreatment Patients with Gastric Cancer at Different Pathological Stages: A Cross-Sectional Study. JOURNAL OF ONCOLOGY 2022; 2022:2607829. [PMID: 35502200 PMCID: PMC9056254 DOI: 10.1155/2022/2607829] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/05/2021] [Revised: 01/04/2022] [Accepted: 04/01/2022] [Indexed: 11/18/2022]
Abstract
Background. Health-related quality of life (HRQoL) is a key variable in the evaluation of health economics. We aimed to evaluate the HRQoL and utility scores of patients with gastric cancer and related precancerous lesions by assessing their quality of life using a single standardized health measurement instrument. Methods. A cross-sectional study was conducted in six counties in Shangdong Province from November 2019 to March 2020. Subjects with precancerous lesions and gastric cancer (cardia and noncardia) were included and surveyed. Patients were divided into four groups: low-grade intraepithelial neoplasia (LGIN), high-grade intraepithelial neoplasia (HGIN), early gastric cancer (EGC), and advanced gastric cancer (AGC). All patients, except those with LGIN, received treatment. The five-level EQ-5D was used to assess HRQoL and generate utility scores using the Chinese-specific tariff published in 2017. Results. The study included 566 respondents. The average utility was 0.927 for precancerous lesions (LGIN: 0.930; HGIN: 0.926), 0.906 for early gastric cancer (EGC), and 0.756 for advanced gastric cancer (AGC). Visual analogue scale (VAS) means were 76.82 (LGIN: 78.08; HGIN: 74.81), 72.26, and 69.16 for precancerous lesions, EGC, and AGC, respectively. HRQoL was lower in women with AGC than in men (0.612 vs. 0.792,
). AGC patients were more likely to report problems across all five dimensions than patients in other stages. The proportion of patients reporting pain/discomfort problems was highest across all gastric cancer stages (LGIN, 35.6%; HGIN, 34.4%; EGC, 35.6%; and AGC, 55.7%), followed by anxiety/depression (LGIN, 17.5%; HGIN, 18%; EGC, 22.8%; and AGC, 47.7%). Conclusions. HRQoL declined as cancer progressed, with the most dramatic decline observed in patients with AGC. A more advanced pathological stage was associated with a greater decrease in health utility. The obtained utilities for different pathological stages of gastric cancer were significant parameters for researchers to perform further cost-utility analysis. Pain/discomfort and anxiety/depression were problems that seriously affected the patients in all groups.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Depressive symptoms in patients with cancer are associated with poor quality of life and decreased survival. Although inflammation is reliably associated with depression in otherwise healthy individuals, the association in patients with cancer remains unclear. Given the high prevalence of cancer-related inflammation, the authors aimed to establish the relationship between inflammation and depression in cancer patients based on extant literature. METHODS A systematic review and meta-analysis was performed using Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses 2020 guidelines and registered under Prospero ID CRD42021226743. Three databases were searched including PubMed, the Cochrane Library, and PsycINFO using the following criteria for inclusion: 1) measurement of a peripheral inflammatory marker, 2) use of a validated tool/scale to measure depression, and 3) a cancer diagnosis. Risk of publication bias was assessed by Funnel plot and Egger test. RESULTS Seventy-three studies were included in the systematic review and 54 studies (n = 5017) were included in meta-analyses. Associations with depressive symptoms were significant for peripheral blood interleukin (IL)-6 (standardized mean difference [SMD] = 0.59; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.35-0.82), I2 = 57.9%; tumor necrosis factor (TNF) (SMD = 0.73; 95% CI, 0.35-1.11), I2 = 74.1%; and C-reactive protein (CRP) (SMD = 0.57; 95% CI, 0.27-0.87), I2 = 0%. IL-5, IL-13, albumin, and neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio were associated with depressive symptoms but based on fewer studies. Most cancer settings were represented; the number of studies per inflammatory marker varied from 1 to 52. CONCLUSIONS Although peripheral inflammatory markers were unevenly studied, the most studied markers (IL-6, TNF, and CRP) were associated with depressive symptoms in cancer patients and may be useful for management of depressive symptoms in the cancer setting. LAY SUMMARY Peripheral blood inflammatory markers (IL-6, TNF, and CRP) were associated with depressive symptoms in various cancer settings. Although further studies are warranted, these findings may help identify and manage depressive symptoms in patients with cancer.

Abstract
ABSTRACT Anxiety and depression are important concerns negatively affecting life quality and prognosis in cancer patients. Then, this prospective cohort study aimed to explore the longitudinal change and potential risk factors for postoperative anxiety and depression in surgical gastric cancer patients.A total of 226 surgical gastric cancer patients were consecutively enrolled. The Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) was used to assess the anxiety and depression status at baseline (M0), 12th month (M12), 24th month (M24), and 36th month (M36) after hospital discharge, then the HADS for anxiety (HADS-A) score and HADS for depression (HADS-D) score were calculated. Diseasefree survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) were evaluated.HADS-A and HADS-D scores were gradually increased from M0 to M36, and their occurrences and grades were also worsened piece by piece. Additionally, older age, female, unemployed before surgery, single/divorced/widowed marry status, poor education duration, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, large tumor size, high TNM stage, and adjuvant chemotherapy were independent risk factors for postoperative anxiety or depression. Regarding survival, DFS and OS appeared to be shorter in anxiety patients compared to nonanxiety patients at M0 but showed no statistical significance. However, DFS and OS were worse in depression patients compared to non-depression patients at M0.In conclusion, postoperative anxiety and depression are gradually worsened, relating to poor prognosis, and their main risk factors include female, single/divorced/widowed marry status, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, large tumor size, and high TNM stage in gastric cancer patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This review aimed to determine the pooled prevalence of preoperative anxiety and its associated factors among patients undergoing surgery in low/middle-income countries (LMICs). METHODS We searched PubMed, SCOPUS, CINAHL, Embase and PsychINFO to identify peer-reviewed studies on the prevalence and factors associated with preoperative anxiety among patients undergoing surgery using predefined eligibility criteria. Studies were pooled to estimate the prevalence of preoperative anxiety using a random-effect meta-analysis model. Heterogeneity was assessed using I² statistics. Funnel plot asymmetry and Egger's regression tests were used to check for publication bias. RESULT Our search identified 2110 studies, of which 27 studies from 12 countries with 5575 participants were included in the final meta-analysis. Of the total 27 studies, 11 used the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory to screen anxiety, followed by the Amsterdam Preoperative Anxiety and Information scale, used by four studies. The pooled prevalence of preoperative anxiety among patients undergoing surgery in LMICs was 55.7% (95% CI 48.60 to 62.93). Our subgroup analysis found that a higher pooled prevalence of preoperative anxiety was found among female surgical patients (59.36%, 95% CI 48.16 to 70.52, I2=95.43, p<0.001) and studies conducted in Asia (62.59%, 95% CI 48.65 to 76.53, I2=97.48, p<0.001). CONCLUSION Our meta-analysis indicated that around one in two patients undergoing surgery in LMICs suffer from preoperative anxiety, which needs due attention. Routine screening of preoperative anxiety symptoms among patients scheduled for surgery is vital. PROSPERO REGISTRATION NUMBER CRD42020161934.

Abstract
Background Little is known regarding the severity of anxiety and depression among palliative care patients with cancer. As a result, this study aimed to assess the magnitude of anxiety and depression and its associated factors among palliative care patients with cancer. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted at the Black Lion Specialized Hospital oncology center on palliative care patients with cancer who had follow up. Interviews and chart reviews were used. Descriptive statistics and Chi-square were done. Multivariate analysis was done. Result A total of 171 palliative care patients with cancer were involved in the study. The magnitude of anxiety and depression was found at 64.9% and 47.4%, respectively. Those palliative care patients with cancer whose age >64 years (AOR: 7.1; CI: 1.59-68.0; P =0.029), unable to write and read (AOR: 0.2; CI: 0.03-0.73; P = 0.017), secondary school (AOR: 0.3; CI: 0.11-0.83; P = 0.022) were significant factors for anxiety. Breast cancer (AOR: 0.1; CI: 0.01-0.85; P = 0.021), surgery plus radiation (AOR: 0.2; CI: 0.02-0.91: P=0.024) others (radiation and surgery (AOR: 0.1; CI: 0.02-0.8: P = 0.036) were found to be significant factors for depression. Conclusion The magnitude of anxiety and depression was 64.9% and 47.4%, respectively. Greater than 64-year-old age, unable to write and read secondary school were significant factors for anxiety. Breast cancer, surgery plus radiation, others (radiation and surgery) were found to be significant factors for depression.

Abstract
The purpose of paper is to investigate the depression and anxiety as well as independent influential factors between patients who underwent Da Vinci robot-assisted radical gastrectomy and radical gastrectomy. This study is a partially randomized patient preference trial. A total of 98 patients with gastric cancer were divided into the Da Vinci robot-assisted radical gastrectomy group (46 patients, observation group) and open radical gastrectomy group (52 patients, control group). They were also postoperatively and preoperatively measured with Self-Rating Depression Scale (SDS) and Self-Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS). The postoperative and preoperative data of each group were compared. The postoperative and preoperative standard scores of SDS and SAS in patients with the observation group were NS differences (P > 0.05). In the conventional control group, the postoperative mean scores of SDS and SAS were significantly higher than those in the preoperative mean scores and the postoperative mean scores of the observation group, respectively (P < 0.01). The multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated that the independent influential factors of depression and anxiety in patients with radical gastrectomy included tumor, node, metastases stage, pain grading, other postoperative complications and postoperative insomnia (P < 0.05). Robot-assisted radical gastrectomy for gastric carcinoma is conductive to relieving patients' anxiety and depression and improving their quality of life due to the advantages of relatively low incidence of pain, reduced complications and relatively good sleep.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Depression and anxiety are common and associated with inflammation in patients with cancer. Inflammatory indices such as albumin and neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) obtained from metabolic panels and complete blood counts should be available for mental health professionals treating anxiety and depression at cancer centers. We hypothesized that albumin and NLR extrapolated from non-mental health oncology appointments would be associated with anxiety and depression and drawn close enough to psychiatry visits to be useful for the psycho-oncologist. MATERIALS & METHODS: Depression and anxiety were evaluated in patients (n = 97) referred to a cancer center psychiatric service for depression using the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 and General Anxiety Disorder-7. Albumin concentration and NLR were assessed for timing and correlation strength with anxiety and depression by setting (localized/metastatic cancer). RESULTS Most patients (96%) had albumin or NLR available at any time point of which 45% were drawn within one week of the psychiatric appointment. No significant correlations were noted when evaluating localized cancer or NLR exclusively. For patients with metastatic cancer, anxiety and depression were correlated with albumin at any time point (r = -0.28, p < 0.05; r = -0.40, p < 0.01, respectively) and within a week of psychiatry appointment (r = -0.40, p < 0.05; r = -0.68, p < 0.001, respectively). Albumin evaluated within a week predicted 32% of depression score variance (β = -0.63, p = 0.002). Hypoalbuminemia (<3.8 g/ul) was associated with anxiety (χ2 = 4.43, p = 0.04) and depression (χ2 = 11.06, p = 0.001). CONCLUSION Hypoalbuminemia in patients with metastatic cancer may help establish the presence or persistence of anxiety, depression, treatment refractoriness, and the use of inflammation in cancer-related psychological symptom management.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the therapeutic effect of the problem management model based on the core concept of JCI on painless endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) in gastric polyp patients. METHODS A total of 128 patients with gastric polyps who underwent painless EMR in the Department of Gastroenterology in our hospital from January 2019 to February 2020 were recruited as the study cohort and randomly divided into a control group and an experimental group, with 64 patients in each group. The patients in the control group underwent routine nursing intervention, and the patients in the experimental group underwent the problem management model based on the core concept of JCI. The recovery of gastrointestinal function, the stress response [the heart rate (HR) and the mean arterial pressure (MAP)], the psychological status (the SAS and SDS scores), the complications, the hospital stay durations, the nursing quality, and the nursing satisfaction levels were compared between the two groups. RESULTS After the intervention, the experimental group had earlier first exhaust and defecation times and shorter hospital stay durations than the control group (P<0.05). Both groups had increased HR and MAP, but they were lower in the experimental group than they were in the control group (P<0.05). The SAS and SDS scores were decreased in both groups, and were lower in the experimental group than they were in the control group (P<0.05). The experimental group had a lower incidence of complications than the control group, but the difference was not significantly different (P>0.05). The nursing quality and the nursing satisfaction levels in the experimental group were higher than they were in the control group (P<0.05). CONCLUSION The problem management model based on the core concept of JCI has a good therapeutic effect on painless EMR in gastric polyp patients. The model is able to effectively reduce the stress response, promote the recovery of postoperative gastrointestinal function, decrease the incidence of complications, and improve the nursing quality and the nursing satisfaction levels.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to investigate how locus of control, coping strategies, emotion regulation strategies and social support affect posttraumatic growth. METHODS A cross-sectional study design was adopted. A convenience sample of 540 patients with lung cancer was recruited from November 2016 to July 2017 at two tertiary grade A hospitals in China. The participants completed a series of questionnaires. Structural equation modelling was used to explore the effects of psychosocial factors on posttraumatic growth. RESULTS Social support had a direct positive effect on posttraumatic growth (β = 0.318, SE = 0.071, BC 95% CI = 0.252/0.390), and it also had indirect effects on posttraumatic growth (β = 0.112, SE = 0.023, BC 95%CI = 0.088/0.135) through mediating psychological factors. Coping strategies and the cognitive reappraisal emotion regulation strategy were the main mediating variables, explaining approximately 73.1% of the indirect effect between social support and posttraumatic growth. CONCLUSIONS Our study suggests that Chinese lung cancer survivors can show relatively high posttraumatic growth. There are many mediating paths between social support and posttraumatic growth. These results may help healthcare professionals to identify the psychosocial factors that may benefit lung cancer patients and develop interventions to promote posttraumatic growth.

Abstract
Background: Gastric cancer (GC) is one of the leading causes of death worldwide. It is associated with several disease-related impairments contributing to the psycho-social burden of those patients, such as deterioration of well-being and overall quality of life (QOL). The aim of this study is to present the wide range of factors potentially impacting patients' overall well-being and possible preventive interventions. Methods: This systematic review was conducted in October 2020 with a search in the PubMed, MedLine, PsycInfo, and Google Scholar databases. We used the keywords "gastric cancer," "gastric neoplasm," and each of them combined with "quality of life," "depression," and "anxiety" to identify all relevant articles reporting about potential impact factors influencing the overall well-being of patients suffering from gastric cancer. Results: Finally, 125,490 articles were found, of which 125,431 were excluded in several steps of screening. Inclusion criteria were studies carried out on human ≥18 years of age, studies in English or German language, clinical trials, registry-based studies, cohort studies, population-based studies, and certain titles and abstracts. After screening for eligibility 35 potential factors influencing overall well-being in patients with GC were identified and classified into 9 important categories: genetic condition, treatment method, blood markers, nutritional status, daily living, state of health, mental state, supportive care, and alternative treatment. Conclusion: Since various factors are involved in the development of patients' overall well-being, timely treatment of psycho-social impairments by physicians and psychologists is of enormous importance. Preventing psycho-social burden by improving patients' QOL should be of high importance in the treatment regimen of patients with GC.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Psychological and physical symptoms commonly occur in patients with metastatic lung cancer and are associated with reduced quality of life and decreased survival. Previous work has associated these symptoms with inflammation. The experience of Early Childhood Adversity (ECA) is linked to chronic inflammation and may identify adult cancer patients who are at-risk for psychological and physical symptoms. We thus hypothesized that ECA in lung cancer patients would be associated with increased psychological symptoms (distress, anxiety, and depression) and physical symptoms and that this relationship would be explained by inflammation. METHODS Patients with metastatic lung cancer (n = 92) were evaluated for ECA using the Risky Families Questionnaire. Concomitant assessments were made of distress (Distress Thermometer and Problem List [DT&PL]), anxiety (Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7), depression (Patient Hospital Questionniare-9), physical symptoms (DT&PL), and inflammation (C-reactive protein [CRP]). Multivariate models were created to explain associations of ECA with depression, anxiety, distress, number of physical problems, and inflammation. RESULTS ECA was associated with distress (r = 0.24, p = .03), anxiety (r = 0.30, p = .004), depression (r = 0.35, p = .001), greater physical problems (r = 0.25, p = .03), younger age (r = -0.29, p = .006), and elevated CRP (r = 0.22, p = .04). Multivariate analyses of outcomes found that depression severity was independently explained by both ECA and inflammation (β = 0.37, p = .001) but not distress or anxiety, while controlling for age and sex. Number of physical problems were also associated with ECA (β = 0.35, p = .004) but not inflammation. The association between ECA and physical problems was not significant after controlling for depression. CONCLUSION ECA is associated with increased depression and physical symptoms independent of inflammation. Moreover, depression appears to mediate the impact of ECA on physical symptoms. ECA may identify patients at risk for psychological and physical symptoms.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of video-based nursing education on perioperative anxiety and depression. A total of 128 patients scheduled for minimally invasive gastrectomy were randomly divided into intervention (n = 64) and control (n = 64) group. The. The anxiety and depression scores, systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), and heart rate (HR) were assessed before the intervention, 1 h before surgery and 24 h after surgery. And the cortisol levels were measured before the intervention and 1 h before surgery. No significant difference was observed in baseline anxiety score, depression score, vital signs and cortisol level (P > 0.05). The anxiety level, depression level, SBP, DBP and HR of patients in intervention group was significantly lower than that in control group at 1 h before surgery and 24 hs after surgery (P < 0.05). The serum cortisol in the intervention group was also significantly lower than that in the control group 1 h before surgery (p < 0.001). Video-based nursing education was effective in decreasing the perioperative anxiety and depression of patients undergoing minimally invasive gastrectomy. It could also keep vital signs and serum cortisol levels in normal limits.

Abstract
The poor sleep of young people with ankylosing spondylitis (AS) has not attracted enough attention of clinicians and experts. This study aimed to evaluate the sleep quality and associations with health locus of control (HLC) and coping styles in young people with AS. A total of 133 patients completed the measures of demographics, disease characteristics, HLC, coping styles, and Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI). The patients were worse than general population in PSQI global score and multiple domains. Among patients, the poor sleep was positively related to chance HLC (CHLC) and resignation. Resignation completely mediated the association between CHLC and sleep. There were severe sleep problems in young people with AS, and strategies to change the resignation coping style should be implemented.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Substantial uncertainty exists about the prevalence of depression in patients with gastric cancer. We aimed to summarise the global and regional pooled prevalence of depression among patients with gastric cancer. METHOD Up to February 2020, we searched PubMed/MEDLINE, Embase, Scopus, Web of science (ISI) and PsychINFO to identify published studies on the prevalence of depression among patients with gastric cancer. The study selection procedure was in accordance to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. We estimated the prevalence of depression in gastric cancer patients using a random-effect pooled estimate analysis approach with subgroup analysis based on WHO regions, and methods of depression measurement. RESULTS Totally, we retrieved 3781 studies from the previously mentioned databases, of which 18 (12 cross-sectional and 6 cohort studies in design) met the eligibility criteria, which were published from 2001 to 2017 in different regions. The total sample size of the included studied contained 4709 patients with gastric cancer, of which 1885 cases were diagnosed with depression. The pooled prevalence of depression among gastric cancer patients was 37%(95% CI: 26% to 48%). Subgroup analysis showed that the highest prevalence of depression was in Eastern Mediterranean (pooled prevalence=42%; 95% CI: 18% to 65%) followed by the Western Pacific region (pooled prevalence=40%;95% CI: 26% to 54%). The results indicated a significant heterogeneity (I 2=98.8%,P<0.05). CONCLUSION Our findings indicated that depression is high among gastric cancer patients. The findings suggest health authorities to provide specially designed social and psychological supportive care services, including screening for depression, among such patients.

Abstract
Background The present study was conducted to explore the prevalence, risk factors and prognostic role of anxiety and depression in surgical gastric cancer patients. Methods Totally 200 gastric cancer patients who underwent surgical resection were enrolled and their Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) scores were assessed before surgery. Besides, 200 healthy controls were enrolled with their HADS scores assessed at enrollment. Results The HADS-anxiety score (7.4±3.8 vs. 4.7±2.8, P<0.001), prevalence (42.5% vs. 13.5%, P<0.001) and severity (P=0.002) of anxiety were greatly increased in gastric cancer patients compared with healthy controls. And HADS-depression score (6.9±3.5 vs. 4.2±2.6, P<0.001), prevalence (33.5% vs. 10.0%, P<0.001) and severity (P=0.001) of depression were also dramatically elevated in gastric cancer patients compared with healthy controls. Regarding the factors predicting anxiety/depression risks in gastric cancer patients, gender (female) (P=0.003), diabetes (P<0.001), higher pathological grade (P=0.005), larger tumor size (P=0.044) and higher T stage (P=0.017) were independent predictive factors for higher risk of anxiety, and age (>60 years) (P=0.025), gender (female) (P=0.004), hyperlipidemia (P=0.039), diabetes (P<0.001) and higher TNM stage (P=0.003) were independent predictive factors for higher risk of depression. Most importantly, anxiety/depression and the severity of anxiety/depression were all negatively associated with disease-free survival as well as overall survival (all P<0.05) in surgical gastric cancer patients. Conclusions Anxiety/depression are common and severe, which predicts unfavorable prognosis in gastric cancer patients underwent surgery, suggesting the necessity of psychological care post-surgery.

Abstract
Zinc has been very efficacious in reducing post-weaning diarrhea, whereas animal-derived peptides are suggested to improve the growth performance of weaned piglets. However, the combined effect of zinc and peptides on swine production and swine gut microbiota is still largely unknown. In this study, we followed 288 nursery pigs from the age of d30 to d60 to evaluate the growth performance and gut microbiota of weanling pigs subjected to different levels of a fish-porcine-microbial peptide cocktail (0.05%, 0.25%, and 0.5%) with or without the pharmaceutical level of zinc oxide (ZnO) (2500 ppm) supplementation in a nutrient-deficient diet. Rectal swab samples were collected from pigs with body weight (BW) approach average at each pen on d30, d42, and d60 to determine gut microbiota. Average daily gain (ADG) and BW in piglets fed high zinc (HZ) increased with increasing levels of peptide. The microbiota of the HZ group also diverged from those of the standard zinc (SZ) group from d30 to d60. Adding peptide did not alter community structure regardless of zinc supplementation. Collectively, these findings demonstrated that the pharmaceutical level of zinc as ZnO conditioned the gut community to the point where peptide could effectively restore growth performance in nursery pigs fed nutrient-deficient diets.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Preoperative anxiety is a common psychological state in cancer patients before surgery, inducing stress responses after surgery. Associations between preoperative anxiety and intraoperative nociception, however, have not been evaluated well. In the present study, we investigated the relationship in patients with lung cancer undergoing thoracic surgery. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this prospective study, 27 adult patients were enrolled. Intraoperative nociception during surgery was calculated as mean values of the nociceptive response (NR) throughout surgery. Associations between intraoperative nociception and preoperative patient characteristics including anxiety in addition to intraoperative variables were analyzed using univariate and multivariate regression analyses. RESULTS Multiple linear regression analysis revealed that mean NR values during surgery showed a negative correlation with preoperative anxiety (β = -0.353; P = 0.041) after adjustment for body mass index, depression, and total amount of fentanyl used during surgery. Body mass index was a confounder positively associated with mean NR during surgery. CONCLUSIONS Intraoperative nociception is likely associated with preoperative patient characteristics, having an inverse relationship with preoperative anxiety.

Abstract
Background: Depression very commonly appears in the presence of lung cancer. Multiple contexts have shown that depression is associated with inflammation. The Neutrophil to Lymphocyte Ratio (NLR) provides an easy to interpret the measure of both inflammation and immunity, but its use as an inflammatory biomarker has not been evaluated in patients with lung cancer. We hypothesize that NLR will be elevated in depressed patients with lung cancer and that both elevated NRL and depression will have prognostic implications. Methods: Patients (n=109) were assessed for depression and anxiety using the Hospital .Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) and for distress using the Distress Thermometer. NLR was derived from a complete blood count obtained on the day of the cross-sectional survey. Data were dichotomized (NLR ≥5 and HADS-D ≥8) and analysed for survival estimations using Kaplan-Meier plots. Results: NLR was found to be significantly correlated with depression (r=.21, p=.03) and was associated with depression while controlling for age, sex, and marital status (β=.21, p=.004). NLR trended toward correlation with anxiety (r=.19, p=.07). Elevated NLR (≥5) predicted for worse survival (chi square= 10.08, p=.001), which was similarly seen when combined with meeting depression criteria (chi square = 16.00,p<.001). Conclusion: NLR provides a reasonable assessment of lung cancer related inflammation with survival implications that may indicate the presence of depression. These results warrant further research.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Prehospital delay is common among patients with acute appendicitis. The aim of this study was to measure the association of a wide range of psychosocial factors with the prehospital delay among adult patients with acute appendicitis in a southwestern city in China. METHODS Sociodemographic, clinical, cognitive and psychosocial factors were collected from 421 adult patients with acute appendicitis from November 2016 to December 2017. In addition, factors associated with prehospital delay were determined by binary logistic regression, after adjusting for selected potentially confounding factors. RESULTS Only 179 (42.5%) of the 421 patients were transferred to the hospital within 24 hours; the mean prehospital delay was 27.68 hours with a median of 26 hours, while the mean in-hospital delay was 5.16 hours with a median of 5 hours. In the logistic regression analyses, eight variables or subvariables were found to be associated with prehospital delay >24 hours. CONCLUSION Delayed presentation for acute appendicitis was associated with older age, living alone, a lack of knowledge of the disease, low social support, an unstable introvert personality trait and negative coping style, intensity of the pain and the symptoms occurring on a workday. A better understanding of the association between psychosocial factors and prehospital delay can help identify patients with acute appendicitis at risk of prehospital delay and lead to the establishment of an effective campaign to promote hospital visits when the symptoms are noticed.

Preoperative anxiety in Chinese colorectal cancer patients: The role of social support, self-esteem and coping styles. J Psychosom Res 2019; 121:81-87. [PMID: 30928212 DOI: 10.1016/j.jpsychores.2019.02.009] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/21/2018] [Revised: 02/17/2019] [Accepted: 02/17/2019] [Indexed: 12/24/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Relatively little is known about preoperative anxiety and its associated factors with colorectal cancer, which is one of the most prevalent cancers. We aimed to investigate preoperative anxiety and its associated social, psychological and coping factors based on the disclosure/nondisclosure of cancer diagnosis. METHODS A cross-sectional study was conducted in consecutive colorectal cancer inpatients (N = 434), whose anxiety was assessed based on semi-structured interview, demographic-clinical variables, social support, self-esteem and coping styles (acceptance-resignation, confrontation, avoidance). Hierarchical regression analyses were conducted to explore the relationships between social, psychological, coping factors and preoperative anxiety. RESULTS There was no significant difference in preoperative anxiety (χ2 = 1.031, p = .31) between the disclosure and nondisclosure groups. Social, psychological and coping factors together accounted for an additional variance of preoperative anxiety (disclosure: 22%; nondisclosure: 20.8%). Social support (β = -0.17, p = .004), self-esteem (β = -0.22, p = .001) and coping styles (acceptance-resignation: β = 0.32, p < .001; confrontation: β = 0.13, p = .06; avoidance: β = -0.17, p = .04) were associated with preoperative anxiety in the nondisclosure group. For the disclosure group, acceptance-resignation was the only significantly associated factor of preoperative anxiety (β = 0.37, p < .001). CONCLUSIONS Coping styles, such as acceptance-resignation and confrontation, could aggravate preoperative anxiety. Avoidance, social support and self-esteem might be helpful in preventing preoperative anxiety. These findings highlight the importance of providing psychological interventions for cancer patients by integrating social support, self-esteem and coping styles when disclosing a cancer diagnosis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The ways patients cope with advanced cancer can influence their health-related quality of life (HRQoL). This study aims to examine the mediating role of positive and negative mood in the relationship between coping and HRQoL in patients with advanced lung cancer. METHODS A consecutive sample of 261 patients (mean age: 59.99±9.53) diagnosed with stage III or IV lung cancer was recruited from the inpatient unit in a hospital that specialises in chest-related disease in Shanghai, China. Participants completed measurements including Medical Coping Modes Questionnaire, Positive and Negative Affect Schedule, and 5-level EuroQol 5-dimension instrument. RESULTS Although the total effects of confrontation on HRQoL were not significant, competing indirect effects via mood were identified: (1) positive indirect effects through positive mood were found for confrontation on mobility, usual activities, pain/discomfort and overall utility index (indirect effect=0.01, 95% CI 0.003 to 0.03); (2) negative indirect effects through negative mood were found for confrontation on mobility, pain/discomfort, anxiety/depression and overall utility index (indirect effect=-0.01, 95% CI -0.03 to -0.001). Resigned acceptance was negatively associated with HRQoL, and indirect effects via mood were identified: (1) negative indirect effects through positive mood were found for resigned acceptance on mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort and overall utility index (indirect effect=-0.01, 95% CI -0.03 to -0.003); (2) negative indirect effects through negative mood were found for resigned acceptance on domains of HRQoL and overall utility index (indirect effect=-0.04, 95% CI -0.06 to -0.02). CONCLUSIONS Confronting advanced lung cancer can fuel ambivalent emotional experiences. Nevertheless, accepting the illness in a resigned way can be maladaptive for health outcomes. The findings suggest interventions that facilitate adaptive coping, reduce negative mood and enhance positive mood, as this could help to improve or maintain HRQoL in patients with advanced lung cancer.

Abstract
AIMS To evaluate preliminary effects of a newly developed STOMA psychosocial intervention programme that was delivered via a multi-modal and multi-dimensional approach on the improvement of outcomes of colorectal cancer patients with stoma. BACKGROUND With a distorted body image and the loss of an essential body function, stoma patients face difficulties in everyday life in terms of physical, psychological, and social aspects. Few studies have explored effects of psychosocial interventions on improving stoma-related health outcomes. DESIGN This was a two-group pre-test-post-test pilot randomized controlled trial. METHODS Fifty-three participants were recruited from July 2015-November 2016 in a tertiary public hospital in Singapore. They were randomized into either intervention group (N = 29) or control group (N = 24). Stoma care self-efficacy, acceptance of stoma, stoma proficiency, length of hospital stay, anxiety and depression and quality of life were measured. IBM SPSS 24.0 was used to analyse the data. RESULTS There was an improvement in acceptance of stoma in the intervention group (p < 0.05). Significant effects on stoma care self-efficacy, stoma proficiency, length of hospital stay, anxiety and depression level and quality of life were not shown. CONCLUSION This study developed a feasible and applicable psychosocial intervention programme and generated preliminary evidence in the positive outcomes of colorectal cancer patients with stoma. Future studies can explore technology-based interventions to provide a more sustainable support for patients with stoma.

Abstract
Neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and platelet-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) have recently been investigated as inexpensive and reproducible markers of systemic inflammation in many diseases. However, few studies evaluate clinical and prognostic value of NLR and PLR in psychiatric patients. The objective of this study is to investigate the clinical repercussions of NLR and PLR in patients with bipolar disorder (BD). An 18-month prospective study followed up eighty euthymic BD outpatients. Baseline data included an interviewer-administered questionnaire, behavioral scales and a blood count to calculate NLR and PLR. The occurrence of mood episodes and hospitalizations was assessed monthly for 18 months. Higher NLR and PRL were associated with more anxious symptoms and poorer functioning. BD patients with Night Eating Syndrome (NES) had higher PLR and tended to higher NLR. No association with other sleep parameters was evidenced. Higher NLR and PRL were also associated with more episodes and hospitalizations after 18 months. However, only higher baseline NLR was related to more (hypo)mania episodes. NLR and PLR are important prognostic factor for BD. This study suggested the importance of a simple blood count, an inexpensive and reproducible exam, in evaluating the course of the BD. Further studies must be performed to confirm these results.
