Abstract:Objective -Symptoms of small cell lung cancer (SCLC), along with the side-effects of treatment interventions (e.g. nausea and vomiting due to cytotoxic drugs), are supposed to influence negatively the health-related quality of life (HRQoL) of the patients. An understanding of the determinants of SCLC patients' HRQoL could help health professionals in clinical decision making, screening and prediction of health outcomes. The aim of this review was to identify the health-related quality of life determining factors of patients with SCLC. Methods -A literature review in the PubMed database was conducted in relation to the clinical and sociodemographic determinants of SCLC patients' HRQoL. The extraction and evaluation of the studies was carried out, according to preset criteria, by two reviewers who worked independently. Results -Thirty-three publications were detected four of which met the inclusion criteria. The majority of the included studies were randomized trials. By the multivariate statistical analysis it was detected that negative influence on SCLC patients' HRQoL had the female gender (Wald Chi-Square=7.86, p=0.005), the quite a bit or very much tiredness (χ 2 =28.54, p<0.001), the walking difficulty (χ 2 =31.80, p<0.001) and the presence of dyspnea (χ 2 =47.52, p<0.001). Conclusions -Health professionals could pay more attention to the management of cancer-related fatigue and dyspnea as well as to the enhancement of patients' mobility through low-impact exercise programs or appropriate assistive devices.

“…Other possible explanations would be indirect, similar to the effect of current smoking on general QOL in conditions related or unrelated to smoking. (27–31) Prevalence of affective spectrum disorders in CP patients is high and patients may smoke to relieve anxiety, depression or stress that is pre-existing or develops after diagnosis of CP, or to cope with the need to abstain from drinking. (32–35) Smoking cessation by counseling and/or pharmacologic measures should be an important component of the management of CP, not only due to its association with QOL, but also for its impact on disease progression.…”

Background Chronic pancreatitis (CP) has a profound independent effect on quality of life (QOL). Our aim was to identify factors that impact the QOL in CP patients. Methods We used data on 1,024 CP patients enrolled in the three NAPS2 studies. Information on demographics, risk factors, co-morbidities, disease phenotype and treatments was obtained from responses to structured questionnaires. Physical (PCS) and mental (MCS) component summary scores generated using responses to the Short Form-12 (SF-12) survey were used to assess QOL at enrollment. Multivariable linear regression models determined independent predictors of QOL. Results Mean PCS and MCS scores were 36.7±11.7 and 42.4±12.2, respectively. Significant (p<0.05) negative impact on PCS scores in multivariable analyses was noted due to constant mild-moderate pain with episodes of severe pain or constant severe pain (10 points), constant mild-moderate pain (5.2), pain-related disability/unemployment (5.1), current smoking (2.9 points) and medical co-morbidities. Significant (p<0.05) negative impact on MCS scores was related to constant pain irrespective of severity (6.8-6.9 points), current smoking (3.9 points) and pain-related disability/unemployment (2.4 points). In women, disability/unemployment resulted in an additional reduction 3.7 point reduction in MCS score. Final multivariable models explained 27% and 18% of the variance in PCS and MCS scores, respectively. Etiology, disease duration, pancreatic morphology, diabetes, exocrine insufficiency and prior endotherapy/pancreatic surgery had no significant independent effect on QOL. Conclusion Constant pain, pain-related disability/unemployment, current smoking, and concurrent co-morbidities significantly affect the QOL in CP. Further research is needed to identify factors impacting QOL not explained by our analyses.

“…It has been pointed out that these self-rated measures of QL may be a marker of poor health (9). It has also been shown that selfperception of "poor" health status has been associated with two-fold higher mortality risk, compared to those who perceive they are in "excellent" health (19).…”

“…It has also been shown that selfperception of "poor" health status has been associated with two-fold higher mortality risk, compared to those who perceive they are in "excellent" health (19). In previous studies, QL of smokers has been measured by both generic instruments and smokingspecific scales (9). In our study, we preferred the WHOQL-bref questionnaire, because our study group consisted of healthy individuals.…”
