“…Study samples primarily included patients with a mix of different types of cancers ( n = 104, 40.9%) or patients with breast cancer ( n = 102, 40.2%), with fewer studies focused on another single cancer diagnosis ( n = 48, 18.9%) …”

Systematic review of sleep disorders in cancer patients: can the prevalence of sleep disorders be ascertained?

et al. 2014

Although sleep is vital to all human functioning and poor sleep is a known problem in cancer, it is unclear whether the overall prevalence of the various types of sleep disorders in cancer is known. The purpose of this systematic literature review was to evaluate if the prevalence of sleep disorders could be ascertained from the current body of literature regarding sleep in cancer. This was a critical and systematic review of peer-reviewed, English-language, original articles published from 1980 through 15 October 2013, identified using electronic search engines, a set of key words, and prespecified inclusion and exclusion criteria. Information from 254 full-text, English-language articles was abstracted onto a paper checklist by one reviewer, with a second reviewer randomly verifying 50% (k = 99%). All abstracted data were entered into an electronic database, verified for accuracy, and analyzed using descriptive statistics and frequencies in SPSS (v.20) (North Castle, NY). Studies of sleep and cancer focus on specific types of symptoms of poor sleep, and there are no published prevalence studies that focus on underlying sleep disorders. Challenging the current paradigm of the way sleep is studied in cancer could produce better clinical screening tools for use in oncology clinics leading to better triaging of patients with sleep complaints to sleep specialists, and overall improvement in sleep quality.

Context While assessing symptom severity is an important component of evaluating symptoms, understanding those symptoms that interfere with patients’ lives is also key. Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a chronic disease resulting in right heart failure and increased mortality. Patients with PAH experience multiple symptoms but we do not know which symptoms and to what extent their symptoms interfere with daily life. Objectives To: 1) describe the prevalence of those symptoms that interfere with life; 2) describe the severity of symptom interference; and 3) determine those sociodemographic and clinical characteristics, and interfering symptoms associated with health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in patients with PAH. Methods A convenience sample of 191 patients with PAH completed a sociodemographic form; the Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension Symptom Interference Scale (PAHSIS) and the Medical Outcomes Survey Short Form-36 (SF-36) to measure HRQOL. Hierarchical multiple linear regression was used to analyze demographic and medical characteristics along with symptom interference from the PAHSIS as predictors of HRQOL from the composite mental and physical health summary scores of the SF-36. Results The most interfering symptoms reported were fatigue, shortness of breath with exertion and difficulty sleeping. Age, gender, functional class, oxygen use, fatigue, dizziness and Raynaud’s phenomenon were associated with the HRQOL physical health summary scores. The symptoms fatigue and SOB while lying down were associated with the HRQOL mental health summary scores. Conclusion Patients with PAH are experiencing multiple symptoms that are interfering with their HRQOL and ability to function.

“…Os resultados de estudos realizados em outros países com pacientes com câncer mostraram variações no escore do PSQI de 7,4 a 11,19, (5,12,17) conferindo em todos os estudos má qualidade do sono entre os participantes. Autores que discorreram sobre os componentes do PSQI apontaram, (13)(14)(15)(16)(17) com maior frequência, elevada latência de sono, distúrbios do sono e sono com curta duração.…”

“…Estudos para a melhoria do cluster de sintomas sono, dor e fadiga devem ser realizados, pois o sono é um preditor de morbidade e mortalidade (4) . Distúrbios do sono se mostram menos problemáticos em pacientes com câncer durante a hospitalização do que em casa, devendo ser investigado os possíveis fatores que contribuem para a piora do sono nas residências (5) .…”

Objetivo: analisar a formação dos clusters de sintomas em pacientes oncológicos.Método: estudo longitudinal, de janeiro a junho de 2016. Foram recrutados 127 pacientes de um ambulatório público de quimioterapia de um hospital geral do Vale do Paraíba Paulista. A coleta de dados foi realizada por meio de entrevista e, para isto, foram utilizados o MD Anderson Symptom Inventory, o Índice de Qualidade do Sono de Pittsburgh e a Escala Visual Análoga de Sono. Os dados foram submetidos a análise estatística descritiva e inferencial.Resultados: três clusters de sintomas foram identificados ao longo do tempo: sintomas orgânicos e funcionais; emocionais e sono; e gastrointestinais.Conclusão: Este estudo, além de ter subsidiado o conhecimento quanto aos clusters de sintomas em pacientes com câncer em tratamento quimioterápico ambulatorial, permitiu conhecer como esses sintomas se comportam durante as quatro primeiras sessões de quimioterapia. Dessa forma, subsidiará intervenções preventivas aos sintomas.
