“…A third element is the global index values obtained for each health status generated by the instrument, which can range from the value 1 (the better health posible) and 0 (death). There are also negative values that are rated as worse than death [18–20]. …”

Degree of dyspnoea at admission and discharge in patients with heart failure and respiratory diseases

et al. 2017

BackgroundDyspnoea is a disabling symptom in patients admitted with heart failure (HF) and respiratory diseases (RD). The main aim of this study is to evaluate its intensity at admission and discharge and the relation with quality of life. We also describe its management, intensity, and evolution in HF and RD.MethodsIn this descriptive, cross-sectional study, we included prospectively all patients admitted with decompensated HF and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)/pulmonary fibrosis during 4 months. Surveys quantifying dyspnoea (Numerical Rating Scale 1-10) and quality of life (EuroQoL 5d) were administered at discharge.ResultsA total of 258 patients were included: 190 (73.6%) with HF and 68 (26.4%) with RD (62 COPD and 6 pulmonary fibrosis). Mean age was 74.0±1.2 years, and 157 (60.6%) were men. Dyspnoea before admission was 7.5±0.1. Patients with RD showed greater dyspnoea than those with HF both before admission (8.1±0.2 vs. 7.3±0.2, p=0.01) and at discharge (3.2±0.3 vs. 2.0±0.2, p=0.0001). They also presented a higher rate of severe dyspnoea (≥5) at discharge (23 [34.3%] vs. 36 [19.1%], p=0.02). Opioids were used in 41 (15.9%), mean dose 8.7±0.8 mg Morphine Equivalent Daily Dose. HF patients had worse EuroQoL 5d scores than those with RD, due to mobility problems (118 [62.1%] vs. 28 [41.8%], p=0.004), and lower punctuation in Visual Analogue Scale (57.9±1.6 vs. 65.6±1.0, p=0.006).ConclusionsAbout a quarter of patients admitted with HF or RD persist with severe dyspnoea at discharge. Opioids are probably underused. HF patients have less dyspnoea than patients with RD but present worse quality of life.Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (doi:10.1186/s12904-017-0208-x) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.

“…We will use the Short Form 12 (SF-12) [44] and the (EuroQol EQ-5D) [45] to assess quality of life. The SF-12 [44] covers eight health domains (physical functioning, role limitations, pain, general health perception, vitality, mental health, emotional role and social functioning) and allows for the calculation of two sum scores for physical and mental health.…”

Efficacy and cost-effectiveness of minimal guided and unguided internet-based mobile supported stress-management in employees with occupational stress: a three-armed randomised controlled trial

et al. 2014

BackgroundInternet- and mobile based stress-management interventions (iSMI) may be an effective means to address the negative consequences of occupational stress. However, available results from randomised controlled trials are conflicting. Moreover, it is yet not clear whether guided or unguided self-help iSMI provide better value for money. Internet-based mental health interventions without guidance are often much less effective than interventions including at least some guidance from a professional. However, direct comparisons in randomised controlled trials are scarce and, to the best of our knowledge, the comparative (cost)-effectiveness of guided vs. unguided iSMI has not yet been studied. Hence, this study investigates the acceptability and (cost-) effectiveness of minimal guided and unguided iSMI in employees with heightened levels of perceived stress.MethodsA three-armed randomised controlled trial (RCT) will be conducted to compare a minimal guided and unguided iSMI with a waiting list control condition (WLC). Both active conditions are based on the same iSMI, i.e. GET.ON Stress, and differ only with regard to the guidance format. Employees with heightened levels of perceived stress (PSS ≥ 22) will be randomised to one of three conditions. Primary outcome will be comparative changes in perceived stress (PSS). Secondary outcomes include changes in self-reported depression, work-engagement, presenteeism and absenteeism. Moreover, a cost-effectiveness analysis will be conducted from a societal perspective, including both direct medical costs and costs related to productivity losses. In addition, a cost-benefit analysis will be conducted from the employer’s perspective. Incremental net-benefit regression analyses will address the question if there are any baseline factors (i.e. subgroups of employees) associated with particularly favorable cost-effectiveness when the experimental intervention is offered. Assessments take place at baseline, 7 weeks post-treatment and 6 months after randomisation.DiscussionOnline-based (guided) self-help interventions could be an acceptable, effective and economically sustainable approach to offer evidence-based intervention alternatives to reduce the negative consequences associated with work-related stress. This study evaluates the (cost-) effectiveness of two versions of an iSMI, minimal guided and unguided iSMI. Thus, the present study will further enhance the evidence-base for iSMI and provide valuable information about the optimal balance between outcome and economic costs.Trial registrationGerman Clinical Trial Registration (DRKS): DRKS00005687.
