Abstract Purpose Patients with lung cancer experience a variety of distressing symptoms which could adversely quality of life. The aim of this study was to determine whether psychological distress prior to surgery is associated with health status and symptom burden in lung cancer survivors. Methods A longitudinal observational study with one-year follow‐up was carried out. Health status was measured by the WHO Disability Assessment Scale (WHO-DAS 2.0), the Euroqol-5 dimensions (EQ-5D) and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). Symptoms severity included dyspnoea (Multidimensional Profile of Dyspnoea); pain (Brief Pain Inventory); fatigue (Fatigue Severity Scale) and cough (Leicester Cough Questionnaire). Results 174 lung cancer patients were included. Patients in the group with psychological distress presented a worse self-perceived health status, functionality and sleep quality. The group with psychological distress also presented higher dyspnea, fatigue and pain. Conclusion Patients with psychological distress prior surgery present a greater symptom burden and a poorer self-perceived health status, lower functionality and sleep quality, than patients without distress one year after the lung resection.

Abstract Purpose Patients with lung cancer experience a variety of distressing symptoms which could adversely affect quality of life. The aim of this study was to determine whether psychological distress prior to surgery is associated to health status and symptom burden in lung cancer survivors. Methods A longitudinal observational study with 1‐year follow‐up was carried out. Health status was measured by the WHO Disability Assessment Scale (WHO-DAS 2.0), the Euroqol-5 dimensions (EQ-5D) and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). Symptoms severity included dyspnoea (Multidimensional Profile of Dyspnoea); pain (Brief Pain Inventory); fatigue (Fatigue Severity Scale); and cough (Leicester Cough Questionnaire). Results One hundred seventy-four lung cancer patients were included. Patients in the group with psychological distress presented a worse self-perceived health status, functionality and sleep quality. The group with psychological distress also presented higher dyspnoea, fatigue and pain. Conclusion Patients with psychological distress prior surgery present with a greater symptom burden and a poorer self-perceived health status, lower functionality and sleep quality, than patients without distress 1 year after the lung resection.

Screening Performance

Objective: Psychological distress questionnaires are often used as screening instruments for mental disorders in clinical and epidemiologic settings. Poor physical health may affect the screening properties of a questionnaire. We evaluate the effect of self-perceived health status on the screening performance of the Kessler K10 and K6 scales in a community sample. Methods: We used data from the Canadian Community Health Survey: Mental Health and Well-Being (CCHS 1.2). Psychological distress was measured by the 6–item (K6) and the 10–item (K10) Kessler instrument. Depression and anxiety disorders were assessed using the World Mental Health Composite International Diagnostic Interview (1–month estimates). Optimal cut-off points regarding health status were determined by finding the K6 and K10 values that allowed for the best balance between sensitivity and specificity. Stratum-specific likelihood ratios (SSLRs) were computed to define strata with discriminating power. Results: There was a strong association between the screening performance of the K6 and K10 scales and self-perceived health status: for the K10 scale, a cut-off point of 5/6 yielded the best balance between sensitivity and specificity for subjects with excellent or very good health status, while a cut-off point of 14/15 yielded the best balance between sensitivity and specificity for subjects with poor health status. Conclusions: The combination of the K6 and K10 scales, with a self-rated health status item, may improve screening properties of the 2 scales.

Abstract Purpose. Cancer survivors are more likely to report having a poor health status when compared to the general population; however, few studies have focused on the impact of cancer on perceived health status, in combination with other healthcare utilization and access outcomes, among women from disadvantaged health populations.Methods. 25,741 women with and without a history of cancer from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) from 1999 to 2016 contributed data. Adjusted odds ratios (aORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were estimated using multivariable logistic regression models for the associations between cancer status and healthcare utilization and access outcomes. Models were stratified by race/ethnicity, federal poverty level (FPL), education, and comorbidities. Results. A total of 2,415 (9.4%) women had a history of cancer with breast cancer as the most common site (n=704, 29.2%). While most survivors were non-Hispanic white (68.4%), 15.2% were Hispanic, 12.1% were non-Hispanic Black, and 4.3% were additional racial/ethnic groups. Survivors were 1.28 times more likely to report fair/poor perceived health status (95% CI, 1.09-1.50), 1.61 times more likely to report hospitalizations in the last year (95% CI, 1.40-1.86), and 1.37 times more likely to see a mental health provider within the last year (95% CI, 1.12-1.66) compared to controls. Race/ethnicity and FPL were the only significant effect modifiers.Conclusion. Our study identifies disparities in health status and healthcare utilization among female cancer survivors and recognizes the importance of evaluating these associations among disadvantaged health populations. These findings could inform future cancer survivorship care.
