Temporary Arteriovenous Fistula

Objective We assessed outcomes of open surgical venous thrombectomy with temporary arteriovenous fistula, and the procedure’s effect on health-related quality of life. Method We retrospectively analyzed 48 (26 at long-term) patient medical records. Mortality rates, patency, and risk of post-thrombotic syndrome were analyzed using Kaplan–Meier estimation. The association between risk factors/coagulation disorders and patency/post-thrombotic syndrome along with patient health-related quality of life at long-term was analyzed employing various statistical methods. Results Patient one-year survival rate was 93 ± 4% and primary one-year patency rate was 89 ± 5% (secondary one-year patency rate 97 ± 3%). Freedom from post-thrombotic syndrome after eight years was 80 ± 12% (post-thrombotic syndrome rate 20 ± 12%). Health-related quality of life was impaired vs. normative data in the physical and social subscales, and in the mental component score ( p < .05). Conclusions Open surgical venous thrombectomy appears safe compared with literature-reported outcomes in similar patients using alternative approaches. Iliofemoral deep vein thrombosis impairs physical, social, and mental health-related quality of life.

Abstract Aim The aim of this study is to describe and analyse patient reported HRQoL one year after the diagnosis of oesophageal and junctional carcinoma in an unselected cohort comprising both palliative and curative intent patients. Background & Methods Short and long-term health-related quality of life (HRQoL) has been extensively described in operated oesophageal cancer patients in several population-based studies. However, the knowledge of HRQoL in patients with palliative intent management is not well described, and further, documentation of HRQoL in curative intent patients treated with definitive chemoradiotherapy is also quite scarce. A nation-wide population-based cohort, of patients diagnosed between 2009 and 2016 collected in the Swedish National Registry for Esophageal and Gastric Cancer (NREV) with prospectively registered exposure data and Health-related quality of life (HRQoL) outcome data. Validated instruments from the European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer QLQ-C30 and QLQ-OG25 were used, and data was analysed with means and adjusted mean differences. Results In patients alive one year after diagnosis, 1,156 responded to the HRQOL questionnaires and were included in the analyses. Both curative and palliative intent patients reported severe symptoms of problems in oesophageal specific domains. In the comparison between the curative and palliative intent groups, more prominent symptoms among palliative patients were detected regarding dysphagia (MD 11; 95% ci: 7-15) and anxiety (MD 10; 95% ci: 6 -15). Levels of anxiety were reported with high levels in all groups analysed and problems with dysphagia was also more common in patients treated with definitive chemoradiotherapy compared with surgically treated patients (MD 11; 95% ci: 4 -18) diagnosed in locally advanced disease stages. Conclusion One year after diagnosis high levels of anxiety were reported in all subgroups of oesophageal and junctional cancer patients, and problems with dysphagia are a major problem in the palliative intent subcohort and in patients treated with definitive chemoradiotherapy.

BACKGROUND: The management of chronic pain, including neuropathic pain (NeP), is a major public health issue. However, there is a paucity of data evaluating pain management strategies in real-life settings.OBJECTIVE: To inform policy makers about the economic value of managing chronic NeP in academic centres by conducting a subeconomic assessment of a Canadian multicentre cohort study aimed at determining the long-term outcomes of the management of chronic NeP in academic pain centres. Specific questions regarding the economic value of this type of program were answered by a subset of patients to provide further information to policy makers.METHODS: Baseline demographic information and several pain-related measurements were collected at baseline, three, six and 12 months in the main study. A resource use questionnaire aimed at determining NeP-related costs and the EuroQoL-5 Dimension were collected in the subset study from consenting patients. Statistical analyses were conducted to compare outcomes over time and according to responder status.RESULTS: A total of 298 patients were evaluated in the present economic evaluation. The mean (± SD) age of the participants was 53.7±14.0 years, and 56% were female. At intake, the mean duration of NeP was >5 years. Statistically significant improvements in all pain and health-related quality of life outcomes were observed between the baseline and one-year visits. Use decreased over time for many health care resources (eg, visits to the emergency room decreased by one-half), which resulted in overall cost savings.CONCLUSION: The results suggest that increased access to academic pain centres should be facilitated in Canada.
