Epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) is the major gynecologic cancer mortality cause in Sweden. The aim of the present study was to investigate the long-term survival and prognostic factors of a complete population-based 5-year cohort of 682 patients with invasive EOC in western Sweden (population around 1.6 million). Data relating to residual tumor after surgery, FIGO stage, grade, histopathologic subtype, ploidy status, adjuvant chemotherapy (the prepaclitaxel period), and disease state (recurrence and death) were reported to a quality register in a prospectively kept database and were controlled against the Swedish National Cancer Registry for completeness. The median follow-up durations for the prospectively collected data in the Cox analysis and for the survival analysis that was made for all patients were 81 months (range, 52-109 months) and 11.7 years (range, 8.7-14.1 years), respectively. No patient was lost to follow-up. The relative 10-year survival rate was 38.4% (95% confidence interval, 34.5%-42.8%). The median relative survival time was 4.3 years (95% confidence interval, 3.6%-5.2%). In the univariate Cox regression analysis, prognostic significances for age, stage, residual tumor, histopathologic subtype of serous cystadenocarcinoma, grade, CA-125, and ploidy status were seen. In the multivariate analysis, age, stage, residual tumor after surgery, and postoperative CA-125 were of prognostic significance. In conclusion, 4 major prognostic factors were found for EOC in this population-based cohort study that also presents nearly accurate long-term survival owing to the nonselective nature and completeness regarding patients and follow-up of the study.

Pain Trajectories

Abstract Background Foot pain is common and disabling in older adults however little is known about its course. The objective of this study was to identify foot pain trajectories over seven years and examine the associations between progressive symptom trajectories and potential prognostic factors. Methods All adults aged ≥50 years registered with four general practices in North Staffordshire, UK were mailed a health survey at baseline. Those reporting foot pain in the previous 12 months were invited to attend a research clinic that included a standardised interview, physical examination, and plain radiographs of the feet. Follow-up was by repeated postal surveys at 18 months, three years, 54 months, and seven years. Trajectories of repeated measures of foot pain severity in the previous month (10-point numerical rating scale) were identified using Latent Class Growth Analysis (LCGA). Logistic regression was undertaken to explore the relationship between these trajectories and both person-level and foot-level prognostic factors adjusted for covariates (age, gender, and body mass index). Results Of 560 adults with foot pain attending baseline research clinics, 425 (76%) provided data at baseline and ≥two follow-up time-points and were included in the analysis. The optimum LGCA model for foot pain severity was a 4-class model with the following trajectories: mild improving pain (n = 109, 26%); moderate improving pain (n = 179, 42%); moderate persistent pain (n = 122, 29%); severe persistent pain (n = 15, 4%). Compared with individuals with mild/moderate improving pain trajectories, those with moderate/severe persistent pain trajectories over 7 years did not differ significantly by age, sex, foot posture or radiographic foot OA phenotype at baseline, but were more likely to be overweight/obese. After adjustment for covariates, these less favourable long-term trajectories were associated with lower socioeconomic position, poorer physical and mental health, catastrophising, greater foot-specific functional limitation (Manchester Foot Pain and Disability Index), and self-reported hallux valgus at baseline (Table 1). Conclusion Over a 7-year period, one-third of individuals had persistent moderate to severe pain. Targeting interventions to modifiable prognostic factors such as obesity and hallux valgus may have the potential to improve long-term outcomes in people with foot pain. Disclosures M. Marshall None.

Long Term Mortality

AbstractWe aimed to investigate whether elevated liver enzymes in the adult population were associated with mortality due to infection. As a population-based cohort study, data from the National Health Insurance Service Health Screening Cohort were used. Adult individuals (aged ≥ 40 years) who underwent standardized medical examination between 2002 and 2003 were included, and infectious mortality was defined as mortality due to infection between 2004 and 2015. Aspartate transaminase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), γ-glutamyl transpeptidase (γ-GTP), AST/ALT ratio, and dynamic AST/ALT ratio (dAAR) were included in multivariable Cox modeling. A total of 512,746 individuals were included in this study. Infectious mortality occurred in 2444 individuals (0.5%). In the multivariable model, moderate and severe elevation in AST was associated with 1.94-fold [hazard ratio (HR):1.94, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.71–2.19; P < 0.001] and 3.93-fold (HR: 3.93, 95% CI 3.05–5.07; P < 0.001) higher infectious mortality respectively, compared with the normal AST group. Similar results were observed for moderate and severe elevation in ALT and mild, moderate, and severe elevation in γ-GTP. Additionally, a 1-point increase in the AST/ALT ratio and dAAR was associated with higher infection mortality. Elevated liver enzymes (AST, ALT, AST/ALT ratio, γ-GTP, and dAAR) were associated with increased infectious mortality.
