Filter by:The study aims to understand which are the most relevant parameters at admission which may allow to predict the hospital length of stay (HOLS) and mortality after discharge of oncologic hospitalized patients. This is the first multicentric prospective observational study that tries to understand the complexity of the hospitalized oncologic patients. A comprehensive analysis will be performed with the help of the nutrition, nursery, internal medicine and oncology teams.
Comparison of quality of life before and after 14 days of use of Endo App® in endometriosis patients compared to non-users
In a study published in 2018 the research team had collected the Medical Research Council score (MRCs) at Intensive Care Unit (ICU) discharge. The investigators would like to be able to examine, if the preliminary results obtained by in 2020 by Van Aerde's team are confirmed in their cohort. The investigators hypothesize that patients with an MRCs less than or equal to 55 at discharge from the ICU, have a higher mortality rate than those with a score greater than 55. The investigators would also like to examine whether or not an MRCs score ≤ 55 is associated with a difference in quality of life and autonomy, after 5 and more years post ICU.
This is a prospective cohort study with multicenter retrospective data collection (CHR Metz-Thionville, Hôpital Mercy and Hôpital Bel Air). Patients hospitalized for COVID-19 in a critical care unit between March 2020 and March 2022 will be contacted by telephone 24 months after their hospitalization by a doctor or intern from the intensive care unit. If the patient agrees to participate, he or she will then complete the study questionnaire items. Data concerning their hospital management between their hospitalization for COVID-19 and the 24-month call will then be extracted from their medical records.
This study aimed to evaluate the effects of a biopsychosocial-spiritual (BPS-S) Group intervention on quality of life among seniors with disabilities in long-term care residential settings.
The Self-perceived Barriers for Physical Activity Questionnaire (SBPAQ) is originally developed in Spanish to evaluate self-perceived barriers for physical activity participation in healthy individuals. The purpose of this study is to translate and cross-culturally adapt the SBPAQ into Turkish and investigate its psychometric properties.
We are conducting a proof-of-concept trial to study the impact of HRV-biofeedback, a mind-body technique designed to improve stress resilience, on the quality of life, mood, and clinical skin severity of patients with psoriasis.
Paraprosthetic cardiac valve leaks are a progressive complication after after surgical or percutaneous heart valve replacement. These leaks can lead to heart failure and/or life-threatening hemolysis. Percutaneous closure of para-prosthetic leaks has been developed as an alternative to surgery in high-risk patients. These procedures remain technically challenging with a significant risk of failure and complications, but this risk is improved since the development of dedicated prostheses and the increased experience of the operators. The data in the literature concerning percutaneous leak closure remain limited and disparate and mostly retrospective.The impact of the procedures on the quality of life of patients is not known. Beyond the technical aspects and the follow-up of major cardiovascular events, investigators also wonder what is the impact of these procedures on the quality of life of patients. Investigators hypothesize that even a partial reduction in paraprosthetic leakage may be associated with an improvement in quality of life through reduction of transfusion needs and/or reduction of dyspnea. A prospective study is warranted to assess the technical and clinical and clinical results of these procedures, together with the evaluation of the the possible benefit on the quality of life of the patients.
The ACO-ASSO (Austrian Society of Surgical Oncology) colorectal group and Austrian Working Group for Coloproctology present the LARS Austria study. It is a prospective, multicenter observational study. The primary objective of this study is to collect information about LARS (LARS score) and QoL (EORTC -CR29) in patients with non-metastatic rectal cancer who received therapy. As a secondary objective, the impact of radiotherapy on the occurrence of LARS will be investigated.
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) contributes significantly to global morbidity and mortality; It is a disease that affects an estimated 210 million people worldwide and is the third most common cause of death. COPD is identified by persistent airflow limitation and is associated with progressively worsening lung function, dyspnea, health-related quality of life (HRQOL), and impaired exercise capacity. Poor exercise capacity is a common finding of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Central cardiopulmonary factors, respiratory muscle dysfunction, gas exchange abnormalities, and skeletal muscle dysfunction all play a role in limiting exercise capacity The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of neuromuscular electrical stimulation applied to different muscle groups (quadriceps femoris and gastrocnemius muscles) on exercise performance and quality of life in patients with stable COPD and compare it with standard treatment.
