“…The EQ5D has been validated for Indonesian Subjects. We classified response to the EQ5D into two categories: patient with and without problem (Kim et al, 2005) The degree of trust in physicians and hospital was measured using Likert Scale and responses were classified into three categories: very satisfied, satisfied and not satisfied.…”

Background: The study aimed to assess complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) use and their associated factors with breast cancer patients in Bandung, Indonesia. Materials and Methods: In total, 330 breast cancer patients were administered questionnaires on their CAM use and CAM predictive factors including socio-demographic parameters, clinical data and quality of life, trust in physicians, trust in hospitals, satisfaction and informational needs. Data were analyzed using univariate analysis and multivariate log regreesion analysis. Results: Overall 33.3% of patients reported use of CAM. Lower income, lower education, presence of metastasis, prolonged diagnosis, less trust in physician were found to be highly associated with CAM use. Conclusions: CAM use by breast cancer patients can be interpreted as an attempt to explore all possible options, an expression of an active coping style, or expression of unmet needs in the cancer care continuum. Physicians need to openly discuss the use of CAM with their patients and identify whether they have other unmet supportive needs.

Objective: We assessed health-related quality of life in cancer survivors treated in designated cancer centers when compared with the general population in Korea. Methods: A multicenter survey was conducted from July through August 2008 using the quotasampling approach. A general population sample was drawn from the Fourth Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, second year. We compared the multivariate-adjusted least square means of cancer patients with those of the general population to examine relationships between EuroQol five-dimensional questionnaire components and cancer sites, cancer stage and time since diagnosis. The independent variables of responses to the EuroQol five-dimensional questionnaire were evaluated using logistic regression analysis. Results: Cancer patients scored significantly poorer on measures of self-care (means: stomach 1.25; lung 1.40; liver 1.27; colon 1.26; breast 1.27; cervical 1.29 vs. general 1.18), engagement in usual activities (means: stomach 1.47; lung 1.63; liver 1.45; colon 1.44; breast 1.46; cervical 1.47 vs. general 1.33) and anxiety/depression (means: stomach 1.41; lung 1.50; liver 1.41; colon 1.42; breast 1.50; cervical 1.47 vs. general 1.28). Those in the local stage scored significantly better on mobility (mean ¼ 1.35) than the general population (mean ¼ 1.40). Cancer patients, especially those with lung cancer, in the advanced stage and more than 5 years since diagnosis had poorer health-related quality of life than the general population. Some factors such as medical insurance and healthcare services were related to health-related quality of life among cancer patients. Conclusions: Health-related quality of life of cancer survivors with lung cancer at advanced stages, ,1 year earlier and more than 5 years since diagnosis was poorer than that for the noncancer control group, and these differences were statistically significant. Cancer survivors should be continuously observed and offered support.

Background: This study aimed to identify the preoperative physical performance factors that predict gait speed and endurance 1 month after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Methods: This prospective cohort study included all patients who underwent unilateral primary TKA in December 2014-2016. Before and at 1 month after TKA, gait variables, bilateral isometric knee extensor and flexor strength, and range of motion (ROM) (flexion and extension) of the operated knee were measured; further, a 6-minute walk test (6MWT), a Timed Up and Go (TUG) test, and a stair-climbing test (SCT) were conducted. The Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC), the EuroQoL 5-dimension (EQ-5D) questionnaire, and the visual analogue scale (VAS) of knee pain were also completed. Results: A total of 84 patients were included. Bivariate analyses showed that postoperative gait speed significantly and positively correlated with preoperative gait speed, gait cadence, ROM of knee flexion, and 6MWT, but significantly and negatively correlated with age and preoperative TUG test, SCT-descent, WOMAC-Function score, and VAS score. The postoperative 6MWT significantly and positively correlated with preoperative gait cadence and 6MWT, but significantly and negatively with preoperative body mass index (BMI), TUG test, SCT-ascent, and WOMAC-Function score. Linear regression analyses showed that age, preoperative ROM of knee flexion, and TUG test were independent predictors of postoperative gait speed, while preoperative BMI and 6MWT predicted postoperative 6MWT. Conclusion: These preoperative predictive factors will be useful in developing pre-and postoperative rehabilitation strategies aimed at improving gait function in the early stages after TKA.

Cross-cultural adaptation and validation of the Korean version of the EQ-5D in patients with rheumatic diseases

Abstract: The Korean EQ-5D exhibits good validity and sensitivity in various rheumatic conditions. Although its reliability and responsiveness were not excellent, it seems acceptable if condition-specific measures are applied together.
