Abstract Background Robot-assisted pancreaticoduodenectomy has recently gained attention as there is evidence from high volume centres suggests better outcomes and quick recovery. This study aimed to evaluate the quality of life after robotic-assisted pancreaticoduodenectomy Methods The study included the first 12 consecutive patients who underwent robotic pancreaticoduodenectomy. The RAND SF 36-Item health survey form was used to assess the quality of life through a one-hour face-to-face interview carried out by a junior doctor from a different team with no prior involvement in patient care. The interview was carried out at least three months postoperative period. Each item in the subscale was recorded with a pre-coded numeric value. The comparison was made between preoperative periods' scores defined by the onset of disease symptoms to surgery and the postoperative follow-up score. The SF-36 survey questions were supplemented with additional items such as postoperative pain, emotional wellbeing, and fatigue status. Results Analysis of SF-36 domains showed better quality of life postoperatively than the baseline, as evidenced by the mean physical functioning score from 82.91 to 90 and mean general health score from 37.9 to 69.5 postoperatively. 91.66% of the patients reported that they felt better at the time of study and were happy overall. Conclusions Robotic-assisted pancreaticoduodenectomy shows a better quality of life than in the preoperative period, which can be attained in a brief postoperative period.

Objective: To evaluate the quality of life of patients undergoing ankle arthrodesis through functional scores such as the American Orthopedic Foot & Ankle Society (AOFAS) scale adapted for the Portuguese language and the Medical Outcomes Study 36-Item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36). Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out between January 2005 and December 2016, with 26 patients undergoing anklearthrodesis. Two quality of life assessment questionnaires were applied: the AOFAS in the pre- and postoperative period and the SF-36 in the postoperative period. Descriptive and analytical statistical analyses were performed using SPSS, version 23. Results: The main findings are related to the correlations of functional capacity (p=0.002; R²=0.42), limitation due to physical aspects (p=0.05; R²=0.19) and pain (p=0.006; R²=0.35) with age as the predictor and the correlation between preoperative AOFAS scores (p=0.03; R²=0.27) and the aetiology of arthrodesis as the predictor. Conclusion: Ankle arthrodesis is a procedure capable of improving the quality of life of the patient as a whole, including the physical, social, emotional and mental health aspects, rather than pain alone, which has been the main objective of the procedure until the present moment. Level of Evidence II; Prognostic Studies.

Background The aim of the present study was to investigate the efficacy and tolerability of acupuncture (AC), Tanacetum (TAN) or combined treatment on quality of life in women with chronic migraine (CM). Methods A total of 69 women volunteers were randomly divided into 3 groups: AC, acupuncture administered in 20 sessions over 10 weeks (n=22); TAN, at 150 mg/day (n=23); and AC+TAN (n=23). The primary outcome was Short-Form 36 (SF-36) quality of life assessment score. Secondary outcomes included the Migraine Disability Assessment (MIDAS) and visual analogue scale (VAS) score experienced after randomisation. Results AC+TAN was statistically significantly more effective than AC or TAN alone in overall health-related quality of life (SF-36; p<0.05), on MIDAS score (−35.1 (10.6) AC vs −24.8 (11.7) TAN vs −42.5 (9.8) AC+TAN; p<0.05) and in reducing the mean score of pain on VAS (−5.6 (2.4) AC vs −3.7 (2.1) TAN vs −6.4 (3.1) AC+TAN; p<0.05). Conclusions The present work shows an improvement of the quality of life and better analgesic effect of acupuncture combined with TAN treatment on migraine pain in women when compared with acupuncture or TAN alone.

The aim of the study was to explore the psychological characteristics and quality of life of patients with cancerous tumor combined with cardiovascular disease. 81 middle-aged patient (51,4±4,6 years) with cancer of different localization examined. Additionally, 42 patients had a concomitant cardiovas- cular pathology. Group of comparison consisted of 39 patients. The following tests and scales were used: test TOBOL for studying the issues of patients’ reaction to desease, Spielberger-Khanin scale to monitor level of anxiety, SF-36 questionnaire to analyze the quality of life. unlike the patients without cardiac pathology, the cancer patients with concomitant cardiovascular pathology showed higher anxi- ety and lower quality of life assessment

Background. Among the methods of surgical treatment of early stages medial knee osteoarthritis in the partial knee replacement (PKR) becomes more and more relevant. The relevance and increasing number of PKR are confirmed by data from various national registers.The aim of the study was to research the early functional results of PKR and to analyze the complications at various stages of the postoperative period.Material and Methods. Study design: a single-center prospective study. The results of 90 operations of PKR in the period from March 2018 to April 2020 are presented. Assessment of knee function and quality of life of patients was performed according to three scalesquestionnaires: KOOS, WOMAC, SF-36, which were filled in preoperatively and then at 3, 6, 9, 12, 18 months. after surgery. Patients within the reporting period provided X-rays and filled in the scales at the face-to-face examination and at remote contact.Results. The most significant improvement of quality of life and median values of the functional results observed after 3 months, and after 18 months. After replacement the best median functional outcome scales KOOS, WOMAC, SF-36 — 79,4 (73,6–84,3); 27,1 (24,8–30,6); 89,1 (85,3–92,6) compared with the functional results obtained before surgery 32,3 (22,8–38,4); 73,6 (63,6–78,8); 35,2 (31,3–42,1); p = 0,027; p = 0.023; p = 0,028, respectively. A negative correlation was obtained between BMI and functional outcome (p = 0.027, R = -0.7).Conclusion. PKR allowed us to achieve an improvement in the quality of life and functional results already in the early postoperative period (from 3 to 18 months after the operation). The improvement of the operating technique, the analysis of errors and the regularity of the performed PKR will improve the results of PKR and minimize the number of complications.

Background: Quality of life (QOL) analysis following cancer surgery is a sensitive issue among patients. The present study tried to find the status of these QOL parameters in patients who had undergone oncogenic resection of rectum.Methods: Patients were given the short form 36 (SF-36), The European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) QLQ-C30 and the EORTC QLQ-C29 questionnaires to fill at three time points in their treatment (prior to surgery, 3 months and 6 months following surgery). The prospectively collected questionnaires were analysed retrospectively.Results: On comparing SF-36 questionnaire, there was significant improvement as we proceeded from baseline to first and second visit except for the energy level. On EORTC-30 questionnaire, there was significant improvement in all scales as we proceeded from baseline to first visit and then to second visit. On comparing EORTC-29 questionnaire, among all visits of abdominoperineal resection (APR), symptoms like pain and blood or mucus in stools significantly improved, low anterior resection (LAR) showed significant improvement in all 4 scales, high anterior resection (HAR) patients showed worst micturition complaints during first visit and gradually improving scores for other scales from baseline to first and second visit.Conclusions: The three-questionnaire used in the study comprehensively included all issues from general health after cancer surgery to problems faced by the patients specifically after various modalities of rectal surgery. Such studies should be planned routinely to assess comprehensive outcome of oncogenic surgeries.
