Background and Objective: This study assessed comorbidities and health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in subjects with lumbar spine osteoarthritis (OA) in the Korean population. Materials and Methods: We analyzed 3256 subjects who were 50 years or older and underwent plain radiography of the lumbar spine as part of the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES) 2012. Radiographic assessment was based on Kellgren–Lawrence (K-L) grade ranging from 0 to 2, with K-L grade 2 defined as lumbar spine OA. HRQOL was assessed by EuroQol-5 dimensions (EQ-5D), which include the EQ-5D index and visual analogue scale (EQ-VAS) measurements. Results: Comorbidities such as hypertension, myocardial infarction, angina, cerebral infarction, and diabetes mellitus were more frequent in spine OA than in controls, while dyslipidemia was less common. Subjects with spine OA had higher mean number of comorbid conditions than controls (1.40 (SE 0.05) vs. 1.20 (SE 0.03), p = 0.001). Subjects with spine OA had much lower EQ-5D index than controls (p < 0.001) but not lower EQ-VAS score. Multivariate binary logistic analysis showed that hypertension and colon cancer were associated with spine OA compared to controls (OR 1.219, 95% CI 1.020–1.456, p = 0.030 and OR 0.200, 95% CI 0.079–0.505, p = 0.001, respectively) after adjustment for confounding factors. Lower EQ-5D index was related to spine OA (95% CI 0.256, 95% CI 0.110–0.595, p = 0.002) but not EQ-VAS score. Conclusion: In this study, we found that comorbidities such as hypertension and colon cancer as well as lower HRQOL were associated with spine OA.

Abstract Background: Health-related quality of life (HRQoL) has gained increased attention in cancer care. Studies have shown that poor QoL might worsen the cancer related prognosis. The aim of this study was to investigate HRQoL in patients with colon cancer and to compare data with reference values from the general population in Sweden at diagnosis (baseline) and at six months of follow-up. Methods : This was a prospective population-based study of colon cancer patients from Västmanland County, Sweden, included between March 2012 and September 2016. HRQoL was measured using the cancer-specific EORTC QLQ-C30 questionnaire. Data on HRQoL was compared with Swedish population reference values. Multiple linear regression analysis adjusted for age, sex, body mass index (BMI), American Society of Anaesthesiology (ASA) physical status classification, emergency/elective surgery, and resection with/without a stoma and tumour stage (TNM), was used. Results : A total of 67% (376/561) of all incident colon cancer patients (196 [52.1%] females) were included. Mean (range) age was 73 (30-96) years. The univariate analysis showed that patients with colon cancer had worse QoL (8/15 parameters) compared with a Swedish reference population both at baseline and at 6 months follow-up. Furthermore, linear regression analysis showed that patients with more comorbidity (ASA 3 and 4), smokers and patients planned to be operated on with a stoma, were at higher risks for poor QoL than the other included patients. Conclusions : The reported determinants of HRQoL may be used to identify risk groups and enable individualized care for patients that need more support from health care.

e20607 Background: Pain (P), depression (D), asthenia (A), and insomnia (I), alone or in combination, are some of the most important and invalidating cancer symptoms. But little is known about the relationship between the symptoms of this cluster, and its impact on health-related quality of life (HRQoL). This analysis has been carried out to better know the prevalence of this symptoms cluster and its impact on HRQoL in cancer patients (pts). Methods: An observational and longitudinal multicentre study was carried out on a sample of cancer pts with breast, lung or colon cancer, any site and period of disease duration, receiving chemotherapy. Data were collected at inclusion and 3 months later. Sociodemographic data, key clinical indicators, as well as P, D, A and I complaints or diagnosis were collected. HRQoL was assessed by means of Nottingham Health Profile (NHP) scale (a generic health measure. Analyses were focused on baseline cross-sectional data). Results: A total of 116 pts were analyzed: 73.3 men, 61 years old (SD=9,1), 2.9 years (SD=2,3) since diagnosis, 16.4 % breast, 54.3% lung, and 29.3% colon cancer; 97.4% with metastasis. At least one symptom cluster under study was presented in 69% of pts: >25% a symptom alone, ≈25% two symptoms, >15% three symptoms, <3% all symptoms in the cluster. Pts could be classified in 13 of the 15 symptoms cluster possible combinations (according to their symptoms complaints/diagnosis) ranging from 0.9% to 12.9%. The two symptoms cluster combinations which did not obtain representation included D + I, while the two symptoms cluster combinations more frequents always included pain. It has been observed that a more quantity of symptoms worst physical and psychological NHP scores. Conclusions: The prevalence of the studied symptoms cluster in cancer pts is high (≈70%) and divers in combinations (13 different symptoms profiles). The quantity of prevalent symptoms cluster is clearly associated with HRQoL. [Table: see text] No significant financial relationships to disclose.
