“…Popiołek et al, (2022) showed that depressive, cyclothymic irritable and anxious temperaments measured by TEMPS-A are associated with decreased quality of life in this clinical group. 40 Moreover, affective temperaments were associated with worse urinary symptoms, worse sexual functioning, occurrence of postoperative complications, as well as with more severe anxiety and depressive symptoms. Those results suggest that temperamental features and mood disturbances associated with bipolar spectrum may have an impact on prostate cancer patients psychological functioning and somatic symptoms.…”

“…Our results corroborate with the study evaluating the role of temperamental features connected to bipolar disorder in the prostate cancer patients' group. Popiołek et al., (2022) showed that depressive, cyclothymic irritable and anxious temperaments measured by TEMPS‐A are associated with decreased quality of life in this clinical group 40 . Moreover, affective temperaments were associated with worse urinary symptoms, worse sexual functioning, occurrence of postoperative complications, as well as with more severe anxiety and depressive symptoms.…”

Background: Studies show significant co-occurrence of bipolar disorder and prostate cancer, as well as the presence of shared genes associated with both diseases.Our aim was to evaluate whether prostate cancer patients present bipolar spectrum symptoms and to establish their possible associations with stress related symptoms during diagnosis and the course of the cancer therapy.Methods: 200 participants were enrolled to this study: 100 prostate cancer patients and 100 healthy males. Bipolar spectrum symptoms were measured with the use of Mood Disorder Questionnaire and Hypomania Checklist-32 (HCL-32). Stress related symptoms were rated with The Impact of Events Scale-Revised (IES-R), Perceived Stress Scale-10 (PSS-10) and Generalised Self-Efficacy Scale (GSES). Results:In comparison to healthy controls group, prostate cancer patients have shown higher HCL-32 scores. Mood Disorder Questionnaire measures were associated with more severe stress related to prostate cancer diagnosis and treatment reflected by higher scores of IES-R and its subscales (Avoidance, Intrusions and Hyperarousal). Mood Disorder Questionnaire, HCL-32, PSS-10, IES-R and GSES measures were not associated with clinical characteristics of prostate cancer severity.Limitations: Cross-sectional study model precluded identification of causal relationship among variables. Bipolar spectrum symptoms and stress related measures were based on auto-questionnaires. Conclusions:To our best knowledge, this is the first study evaluating bipolar spectrum symptoms in prostate cancer patients. We have shown that this clinical group presents increased bipolarity traits compared to healthy individuals. Moreover, bipolar spectrum symptoms were associated with more severe stress related to the prostate cancer diagnosis and its treatment, reflected in avoidance, hyperarousal, and intrusions.

“…This finding is in line with a study conducted by Kurian et al [ 33 ], which examined age and QoL among prostate cancer patients reported that old age negatively affected health-related quality of life. The study performed by Popiołek et al [ 34 ] also found advanced age reduced QoL among prostate cancer surgery patients.…”

Background: Globally, prostate cancer is the second leading cause of cancer deaths among males. It is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in Australia. The quality of life of prostate cancer patients is poorer when compared to the general population due to the disease itself and its related complications. However, there is limited research on the geographic pattern of quality of life and its risk factors in Victoria. Therefore, an examination of the spatio-temporal pattern and risk factors of poor quality of life, along with the impact of spatial weight matrices on estimates and model performance, was conducted. Method: A retrospective study was undertaken based on the Prostate Cancer Outcome Registry—Victoria data. Patient data (n = 5238) were extracted from the Prostate Cancer Outcome Registry, a population-based clinical quality outcome assessment from 2015 to 2021. A Bayesian spatio-temporal multilevel model was fitted to identify risk factors for poor quality of life. This study also evaluated the impact of distance- and adjacency-based spatial weight matrices. Model convergence was assessed using Gelman–Rubin statistical plots, and model comparison was based on the Watanabe–Akaike Information Criterion. Results: A total of 1906 (36.38%) prostate cancer patients who had undergone surgery experienced poor quality of life in our study. Belonging to the age group between 76 and 85 years (adjusted odds ratio (AOR) = 2.90, 95% credible interval (CrI): 1.39, 2.08), having a prostate-specific antigen level between 10.1 and 20.0 (AOR = 1.33, 95% CrI: 1.12, 1.58), and being treated in a public hospital (AOR = 1.35, 95% CrI: 1.17, 1.53) were significantly associated with higher odds of poor quality of life. Conversely, residing in highly accessible areas (AOR = 0.60, 95% CrI: 0.38, 0.94) was significantly associated with lower odds of poor prostate-specific antigen levels. Variations in estimates and model performance were observed depending on the choice of spatial weight matrices. Conclusion: Belonging to an older age group, having a high prostate-specific antigen level, receiving treatment in public hospitals, and remoteness were statistically significant factors linked to poor quality of life. Substantial spatio-temporal variations in poor quality of life were observed in Victoria across local government areas. The distance-based weight matrix performed better than the adjacency-based matrix. This research finding highlights the need to reduce geographical disparities in quality of life. The statistical methods developed in this study may also be useful to apply to other population-based clinical registry settings.

“…Gondoputro et al observed higher rates of moderate/big bother in younger patients (<55 years) when using >1 pad/24 h, compared to older patients [ 18 ]. Moreover, for younger men, a greater social stigma for pad usage could result in even more increased concomitant anxiety [ 26 , 27 ]. In line with these observations, Ilie et al identified older age as a protective factor for screening positive for mental distress in prostate cancer patients treated with radical prostatectomy.…”

Aim and Objectives: We aimed to test the impact of age on long-term urinary continence (≥12 months) in patients undergoing robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy. Methods and Materials: We relied on an institutional tertiary-care database to identify the patients who underwent robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy between January 2014 and January 2021. Patients were divided into three age groups: age group one (≤60 years), age group two (61–69 years) and age group three (≥70 years). Multivariable logistic regression models tested the differences between the age groups in the analyses addressing long-term urinary continence after robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy. Results: Of the 201 prostate cancer patients treated with robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy, 49 (24%) were assigned to age group one (≤60 years), 93 (46%) to age group two (61–69 years) and 59 (29%) to age group three (≥70 years). The three age groups differed according to long-term urinary continence: 90% vs. 84% vs. 69% for, respectively, age group one vs. two vs. three (p = 0.018). In the multivariable logistic regression, age group one (Odds Ratio (OR) 4.73, 95% CI 1.44–18.65, p = 0.015) and 2 (OR 2.94; 95% CI 1.23–7.29; p = 0.017) were independent predictors for urinary continence, compared to age group three. Conclusion: Younger age, especially ≤60 years, was associated with better urinary continence after robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy. This observation is important at the point of patient education and should be discussed in informed consent.
