The study aimed to identify and compare the factors affecting health-related quality of life (HRQoL) depending on the occupational status of cancer survivors. This study was a secondary data analysis from the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES) from 2014 to 2018. Hierarchical multivariate linear regression was used to investigate the factors affecting the HRQoL of each group. Non-working cancer survivors had significantly lower HRQoL than working cancer survivors (p < 0.001). A hierarchical multiple regression model showed that demographic, health-related, and psychological characteristics explained 62.0% of non-working cancer survivors’ HRQoL (F = 4.29, p < 0.001). Among the input variables, health-related characteristics were the most influential factors (ΔR2 = 0.274, F = 9.84, p < 0.001). For working cancer survivors, health-related characteristics were the only variable that was statistically associated with HRQoL (F = 5.556, p < 0.001). It is important to enhance physical activities and manage the chronic disease to improve the HRQoL of working cancer survivors. Further, managing health-related characteristics, including depressive symptoms and suicidal ideation, is necessary for non-working cancer survivors. Regarding working survivors, psychological factors such as depressive symptoms and suicidal tendencies did not affect HRQoL. Therefore, an early and effective return to work program should be developed for the improvement of their HRQoL.

Depression is considered one of the most prevalent psychiatric disorders among patients with hepatitis B virus (HBV)-related liver disease and has adverse effects on the disease progression. However, there is a scarcity of studies contributing to the assessement of depression in hepatitis B patients. There is also little research into risk factors, particularly underlying socio-economic factors in Vietnam where the prevalence of hepatitis B is high. This study aimed to examine depression and identify whether differences in socio-economic status is related to the level of depression amongst chronic hepatitis B patients. A cross-sectional study was conducted on 298 patients with chronic hepatitis B at The Chronic Hepatitis Clinic in the Viet-Tiep Hospital, Hai Phong, Vietnam. The Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) and EuroQol-5 dimensions-5 levels (EQ-5D-5L) were used to assess the severity of depression and health-related quality of life (HRQOL). Of chronic hepatitis B patients, 37.5% experienced depressive symptoms and most of them suffered minimal depressive symptoms (31.4%). According to the result of the multivariate logistic regression model, we found that higher age, lower income level, unemployement, living with spouse/partners were positively associated with having depression. Furthermore, having physical health problems and lower health-related quality of life were also related to a higher risk of depression. We recommend family support, financial support and active participation in consultation should be conducted during treatment to improve the quality of life and the emotional state of HBV patients.

e18232 Background: Few studies have evaluated the impacts of depressive symptoms and mental health on patients diagnosed with multiple myeloma (MM). The aim of this study was to examine associations between depressive symptoms and poor mental health-related quality of life in relation to survival in a cohort of older MM patients. Methods: We conducted an analysis using a prospective cohort from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER)-Medicare Health Outcomes Survey (MHOS) of patients aged 65 years and older diagnosed with first primary MM between 1998 and 2014. Subjects were required to have completed at least 1 pre-diagnosis survey and depressive symptoms were determined based on positive responses to at least 1 of 3 depression screening questions. Veterans-RAND-12 mental component scores (MCS) were also analyzed to evaluate mental health-related quality of life. We used multivariable Cox proportional hazards models to estimate hazard ratios (HR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) for the association between pre-diagnosis depressive symptoms and risks of all-cause and cancer-specific mortality. Secondary analyses examined mortality risks in relation to pre-diagnosis MCS. Results: Of 522 multiple myeloma patients, the mean (SD) age at diagnosis was 76.9 (6.1) years and 158 (30%) self-reported positive depressive symptoms. Patients with depressive symptoms had a higher number of comorbid conditions and nearly all (84%) scored below the median MCS. Pre-diagnosis depressive symptoms were not associated with all-cause (HR 1.01, 95% CI: 0.79-1.29) or cancer-specific mortality (HR 0.94, 95% CI: 0.69-1.28). Myeloma patients scoring in the second MCS tertile (versus the highest tertile) had a modestly increased risk of all-cause (HR 1.19, 95% CI 0.91-1.55) and cancer-specific mortality (HR 1.17, 95% CI 0.86-1.60), but these estimates were not statistically significant. Conclusions: Pre-diagnosis depressive symptoms and lower mental health-related quality of life are not associated with survival for MM. Nevertheless, the considerably high prevalence of depressive symptoms and poor mental health status among older patients with multiple myeloma deserves clinical attention.
