Five-year follow-up mortality prognostic index for colorectal patients.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To identify 5-year survival prognostic variables in patients with colorectal cancer (CRC) and to propose a survival prognostic score that also takes into account changes over time in the patient's health-related quality of life (HRQoL) status.

Methods

Prospective observational cohort study of CRC patients. We collected data from their diagnosis, intervention, and at 1, 2, 3, and 5 years following the index intervention, also collecting HRQoL data using the EuroQol-5D-5L (EQ-5D-5L), European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer's Quality of Life Questionnaire-Core 30 (EORTC-QLQ-C30), and Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) questionnaires. Multivariate Cox proportional models were used.

Results

We found predictors of mortality over the 5-year follow-up to be being older; being male; having a higher TNM stage; having a higher lymph node ratio; having a result of CRC surgery classified as R1 or R2; invasion of neighboring organs; having a higher score on the Charlson comorbidity index; having an ASA IV; and having worse scores, worse quality of life, on the EORTC and EQ-5D questionnaires, as compared to those with higher scores in each of those questionnaires respectively.

Conclusions

These results allow preventive and controlling measures to be established on long-term follow-up of these patients, based on a few easily measurable variables.

Implications for cancer survivors

Patients with colorectal cancer should be monitored more closely depending on the severity of their disease and comorbidities as well as the perceived health-related quality of life, and preventive measures should be established to prevent adverse outcomes and therefore to ensure that better treatment is received.

Project description:PurposeHealth-related quality of life (HRQoL) measurement represents an important outcome in cancer patients. We describe the evolution of HRQoL over a 5-year period in colorectal cancer patients, identifying predictors of change and how they relate to mortality.MethodsProspective observational cohort study including colorectal cancer (CRC) patients having undergone surgery in nineteen public hospitals who were monitored from their diagnosis, intervention and at 1-, 2-, 3-, and 5-year periods thereafter by gathering HRQoL data using the EuroQol-5D-5L (EQ-5D-5L), European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer's Quality of Life Questionnaire-Core 30 (EORTC-QLQ-C30), and Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) questionnaires. Multivariable generalized linear mixed models were used.ResultsPredictors of Euroqol-5D-5L (EQ-5D-5L) changes were having worse baseline HRQoL; being female; higher Charlson index score (more comorbidities); complications during admission and 1 month after surgery; having a stoma after surgery; and needing or being in receipt of social support at baseline. For EORTC-QLQ-C30, predictors of changes were worse baseline EORTC-QLQ-C30 score; being female; higher Charlson score; complications during admission and 1 month after admission; receiving adjuvant chemotherapy; and having a family history of CRC. Predictors of changes in HADS anxiety were being female and having received adjuvant chemotherapy. Greater depression was associated with greater baseline depression; being female; higher Charlson score; having complications 1 month after intervention; and having a stoma. A deterioration in all HRQoL questionnaires in the previous year was related to death in the following year.ConclusionsThese findings should enable preventive follow-up programs to be established for such patients in order to reduce their psychological distress and improve their HRQoL to as great an extent as possible.ClinicaltrialsGov identifierNCT02488161.

Project description:BACKGROUND: The risk of radiographic knee degeneration after partial or total meniscectomy is well documented, but no prior study has employed cartilage-sensitive MRI technology to assess degenerative changes after meniscectomy. HYPOTHESIS: Arthroscopic partial meniscectomy results in early articular cartilage wear and subchondral bony degeneration, even in the absence of clinical symptoms, and these findings can be evaluated with cartilage-sensitive MRI. STUDY DESIGN: Retrospective cohort. METHODS: Twenty-nine patients (ages: 15-40) who had undergone isolated arthroscopic partial medial or lateral meniscectomy with at least 5-year follow-up were evaluated. All patients had arthroscopically normal articular cartilage at the time of initial meniscectomy. Seventeen patients (18 knees) underwent partial medial meniscectomy (MM) and 12 patients underwent partial lateral meniscectomy (LM) with mean follow-up of 8.4 and 7.1 years, respectively. Follow-up evaluation included physical examination, outcome questionnaires, and cartilage-sensitive MRI examination with modified Outerbridge grading of articular surfaces. RESULTS: Outerbridge grades II-IV were noted in 64% of medial compartment joint surfaces in group MM knees versus 33% of lateral compartment joint surfaces in group LM knees. Abnormal cartilage surfaces (grades II-IV), subchondral sclerosis, and condylar squaring were all significantly more frequent after medial meniscectomy (p < 0.05). Groups MM and LM had no significant differences among outcome scores, which remained excellent in both groups. A significant negative correlation was found between the severity of cartilage wear and functional scoring in the MM group, suggesting that functional disability lags behind early MRI evidence of degeneration. CONCLUSIONS: Despite optimal preoperative prognostic factors and excellent functional outcomes, MRI evidence of early articular cartilage degeneration was present in both partial medial and lateral meniscectomy patients at a minimum 5-year follow-up. Results support the use of cartilage-sensitive MRI as a noninvasive screening technique to evaluate cartilage changes after arthroscopic partial meniscectomy and may help to counsel the high-risk patient in regard to postoperative activity.

Project description:PURPOSE: To assess longitudinal changes in parapapillary atrophy in the adult population of Greater Beijing. METHODS: The population-based Beijing Eye Study 2006 included 3251 subjects who had participated in the Beijing Eye Study 2001 and returned for re-examination. The mean age was 60.4 ± 10.1 years. Using optic disc photographs, we measured parapapillary atrophy which was divided into alpha zone and beta zone. RESULTS: Overall progression rate of alpha zone was seen in 0.6 ± 0.1% (95% confidence interval (CI):0.3,0.9) of the subjects and of beta zone in 8.2 ± 0.5% (95%CI:7.2,9.1) of the subjects. In binary regression analysis, rate of progression of alpha zone was significantly associated higher age (P = 0.04) and the co-progression of zone Beta (P<0.001). Rate of progression of beta zone was significantly associated with higher age (P<0.001; odds ratio (OR):1.11;95%CI:1.10,1.14), higher intraocular pressure (P<0.001;OR:1.10;95%CI:1.05,1.14), higher myopic refractive error (P<0.001;OR:0.71; 95%CI:0.67,0.75), rural region of habitation (P = 0.002;OR: 0.58; 95%CI:0.41,0.82), presence of glaucomatous optic nerve damage (P<0.001;OR:2.89; 95%CI:1.62,5.14), co-progression of alpha zone (P<0.001;OR:7.13;95%CI:2.43,20.9), absence of arterial hypertension (P = 0.03;OR: 0.70; 95%CI:0.51,0.96), and thicker central corneal thickness (P = 0.02;OR:1.01;95%CI:1.00,1.01). Subjects with a non-glaucomatous optic nerve damage (n = 22) as compared to the remaining subjects did not vary in the progression rate of alpha zone (0.0% versus 0.6 ± 0.1%; P = 1.0) and beta zone (8.2 ± 0.5% versus 6.3 ± 0.6%;P = 1.0). CONCLUSIONS: In adult Chinese in Greater Beijing, the 5-year progression rate of beta zone of parapapillary atrophy (seen in 8.2 ± 0.5% of subjects) was significantly correlated with higher age, rural region of habitation, absence of arterial hypertension, higher intraocular pressure, higher myopic refractive error, thicker central corneal thickness, and presence of glaucoma. It was not associated with non-glaucomatous optic nerve damage.

Project description:Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a prevalent malignant tumor that presents significant challenges to both public health and healthcare systems. The aim of this study was to develop a machine learning model based on five years of clinical follow-up data from CRC patients to accurately identify individuals at risk of poor prognosis. This study included 411 CRC patients who underwent surgery at Yixing Hospital and completed the follow-up process. A modeling dataset containing 73 characteristic variables was established by collecting demographic information, clinical blood test indicators, histopathological results, and additional treatment-related information. Decision tree, random forest, support vector machine, and extreme gradient boosting (XGBoost) models were selected for modeling based on the features identified through recursive feature elimination (RFE). The Cox proportional hazards model was used as the baseline for model comparison. During the model training process, hyperparameters were optimized using a grid search method. The model performance was comprehensively assessed using multiple metrics, including accuracy, F1 score, Brier score, sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value, receiver operating characteristic curve, calibration curve, and decision curve analysis curve. For the selected optimal model, the decision-making process was interpreted using the SHapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP) method. The results show that the optimal RFE-XGBoost model achieved an accuracy of 0.83 (95% CI 0.76-0.90), an F1 score of 0.81 (95% CI 0.72-0.88), and an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of 0.89 (95% CI 0.82-0.94). Furthermore, the model exhibited superior calibration and clinical utility. SHAP analysis revealed that increased perioperative transfusion quantity, higher tumor AJCC stage, elevated carcinoembryonic antigen level, elevated carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA19-9) level, advanced age, and elevated carbohydrate antigen 125 (CA125) level were correlated with increased individual mortality risk. The RFE-XGBoost model demonstrated excellent performance in predicting CRC patient prognosis, and the application of the SHAP method bolstered the model's credibility and utility.
