Abstract Introduction: urinary incontinence (UI) is defined as any involuntary leakage of urine and their symptoms can affect women's quality of life (QoL). Objectives: to compare incontinent women's QoLin reproductive age (G1) with those in post menopausal period(G2). Material and methods: a descriptive and retrospective study involved 86 women with UI complaints. Clinical, sociodemographic, obstetrical and gynecological antecedents were collected. Pelvic floor evaluation was conducted by digital palpation and QoL was evaluated by King's Health Questionnaire (KHQ). Mann-Whitney and t Student test were used to compare QoL domains. Results: 36 women in reproductive age (G1) 42.9 (± 7,4) years and 50 women in postmenopausal period (G2) 61,6 (± 9,3) years were assessed. The G2 showed significantly more nocturia (p = 0,0057), urge incontinence (p = 0,0061) and enuresis (0,0021) symptoms, whereas in G1 bladder pain and voiding difficulties were more significant. KHQ domains showed statistical differences in: general health perception (G1 26,4 ± 16,8 versus G2 38,0 ± 16.2; p = 0,0019) and emotions (G1 15,1 ± 31,3 versus G2 38,9 ± 37,5; p = 0,0051). Conclusion: UI affects negatively QoLin women. Women on postmenopausal period showed higher impact on the QoLdomains related to general health perception and emotions.

e17523 Background: The purpose of this study is to investigate the impact of organizational characteristics of the hospital on general health perception in postoperative primary breast cancer patients after discharge from hospital. Methods: Patients undergoing treatment for primary breast cancer in all certified breast centers in North Rhine-Westphalia (Germany) were invited to self-administer a questionnaire on health-related quality of life after discharge. Survey period was February to July 2007. 3,285 patients from 94 hospitals returned the questionnaire. The data were supplemented by disease and treatment characteristics reported by the oncologists (e.g. TNM-classification, type of surgery). Patient data were combined with information on hospital characteristics provided by hospital administrators. A multilevel analysis was applied to analyse the impact of organizational characteristics of the hospital (no. of annual breast cancer surgeries, breast care nurses employed, teaching hospital) on general health perception as reported by the breast cancer patients after discharge. Analyses were controlled for sociodemographic variables (age, marital status, education), type of surgery (mastectomy vs. BCT), and severity of disease (TNM-classification). Results: In the multilevel analysis performed organizational characteristics of the hospital do not contribute to patients’ general health after discharge. Only the variable “breast care nurses employed” is close to being positively associated with better general health at p < 0.05. In the model lymph node status (p < 0.05), metastases (p < 0.05), type of surgery (p < 0.01), age (p < 0.001), and education (p < 0.01) contribute to the explanation of the variance in general health perception. Conclusions: In the breast centers under investigation organizational characteristics of the hospital do not have an impact on primary breast cancer patients’ general health after hospital discharge. A possible reason is the high degree to which the treatment process itself is standardized. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

Abstract Background. Limited information exists about the very early forms of psoriatic arthritis. In particular, differences and responsiveness of patient-reported outcomes (PROs) in very early as compared to established PsA have not been investigated to date.Methods. Cross-sectional and prospective longitudinal evaluation of PROs related to pain (VAS), physical function (HAQ-DI, SF-36 physical), mental function (SF-36 mental), impact of psoriatic skin (DLQI), joint (PsAID) and global disease (VAS) in two small prospective observational studies on secukinumab 300mg over 6 months in very early disease patients (IVEPSA study; N=20) and established PsA (PSARTROS study; N=20). Cluster analysis was performed at baseline and 24-weeks follow-up.Results. While responses in pain and physical activity-related PROs to secukinumab were more pronounced in established PsA than very early disease, effects on PROs related to general health perception, as well as those related to emotional and mental well-being, were modified in a similar way in very early disease and established PsA. Cluster analysis based on global disease activity and PROs showed that baseline clusters reflected very early disease and established PsA, while after secukinumab treatment these clusters were abolished and new clusters based on differential responses to physically and mentally-oriented PROs formed.Conclusions. Inhibition of IL-17A by secukinumab leads to comprehensive improvement of general health perception and mental well-being in very early and established PsA, while overall responses in pain and physical activity are more pronounced in established disease. Most importantly, treatment restructures the original patients clusters based on disease stage and leads to the formation of new clusters that reflect their response in physical and mental-orientated PROs.Trial Registration: NCT02483234, Registered 26 June 2015, retrospectively registered
