Patient-reported outcomes of Filipinos with knee osteoarthritis enrolled in the osteoarthritis multidisciplinary clinic: a cross-sectional study at the University of the Philippines – Philippine general hospital

Abstract Background Understanding ulcerative colitis (UC) disease activity assessed via the full, modified or partial Mayo Score may help clinicians apply results from clinical trials to practice and facilitate interpretation of recent and older studies. Methods Mayo Score variables were assessed in a cross-sectional study of 2608 UC patients. Results Permutations of Mayo Scores were highly correlated, and models predicting the omitted variable from each permutation demonstrated significant agreement between predicted and observed values. Conclusions Partial/modified Mayo Scores may be used to predict endoscopic and Physician's Global Assessment scores, and serve as proxies for the full Mayo Score in clinical practice/trials.

The Impact

Background and Objectives: Nursing management in Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) is focused on global patient care. Starting from basic knowledge of diagnostic and therapeutic management, nurses can assess the impact of IBD on patients’ quality of life not only at the physical level, but also at the psychological, social, and emotional levels. The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of gastrointestinal symptoms on psychosocial changes in IBD patients in remission through nursing-led Patient-Reported Outcomes. Materials and Methods: We performed a cross-sectional study of 109 IBD patients in clinical and endoscopic remission. Specialist nurses invited patients to complete questionnaires on gastrointestinal symptoms and quality of life through the Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS). Results: We found that the gastrointestinal symptoms that the patients reported had a significant impact on the analyzed aspects of health. More specifically, belly pain, diarrhea, and bloating were associated with depressive symptoms (p < 0.001), anxiety (p < 0.001), fatigue (p < 0.001), and sleep disturbances (p < 0.001). Moreover, these symptoms also significantly affected patients’ social dimension in terms of satisfaction with participation in social roles (p < 0.001, p < 0.05, and p < 0.001 for belly pain, diarrhea, and bloating, respectively) and physical functions (p < 0.001). The results were virtually the same in a multivariable analysis adjusted by age, gender, body mass index (BMI), and disease duration. Conclusions: Even during remission, gastrointestinal symptoms are the main factors that influence quality of life in IBD patients. This exploratory study highlights the need to adopt validated questionnaires in clinical practice, and demonstrates that PROMIS is a valid, objective, and standardized instrument that can help nursing staff to better define the consequences of the disease in a patient’s daily life.

The University

e18022 Background: The University of the Philippines - Philippine General Hospital (UP-PGH) Colorectal Multidisciplinary Team is composed of colorectal surgeons, radiation oncologists, and medical oncologists tasked with the care of patients with colon and rectal cancers in a multidisciplinary clinic. Patients that have been lost to follow-up after initial work-up and treatment return later with more advanced disease if at all they come back for treatment. This is a concern because cancers of the colon and rectum are potentially curable if addressed in a timely manner by patient and physician. Moreover, aggressive follow-up of potentially curable colon and rectal cancers has been shown to improve patient outcomes. Identifying factors that contribute to poor patient follow-up will allow the team to design strategies that will lead to more patients completing treatment. This study aimed to identify the different factors that influence follow-up among Filipino cancer patients presenting at the UP-PGH Colorectal multidisciplinary clinic. Methods: This is a 6 month prospective cross-sectional pilot study where a questionnaire was designed to evaluate patient views regarding factors that contribute to continued follow-up as well as factors associated with poor follow-up at the colorectal multidisciplinary clinic. Patients were allowed to state multiple factors as they see fit. Descriptive statistics were employed in the analysis of data. Results: Of the 97 responders, 39 (40%) patients identified belief in the effectiveness of the treatment and trust in their physicians, 33 (34%) stated adequacy of family support , and 31 (32%) noted affordability of treatment as factors contributing to patient follow-up. In contrast, 44 (45%) patients identified financial constraints, and 7 (7%) stated the far distance of their home to the treatment center as potential causes of poor follow-up. Other potential causes of poor follow-up identified were fear and anxiety about treatment, intolerable side-effects, and long lines at the clinic -all with 2 (2%) responses each. Conclusions: Healthcare decisions in the Philippines are affected by an interplay of factors. This study has identified belief in treatment efficacy, trust in their attending physician, financial factors, and clinic accessibility as influencing continued patient follow-up. Future endeavors may be directed towards these factors to improve follow-up and care at the colorectal multidisciplinary clinic.
