はじめに:
進行がん患者(AOP)における医療サービスの利用増加と関連する評価に関するデータは限られている。われわれは、AOPにおける医療利用および死亡に関連する因子を同定することを目的とした。
INTRODUCTION: There is limited data about assessments that are associated with increased utilization of medical services among advanced oncology patients (AOPs). We aimed to identify factors related to healthcare utilization and death in AOP.
方法:
総合がんセンターのAOPがCenter for Medicare and Medicaid Innovationプログラムに登録された。参加者はEdmonton Symptom Assessment Scale(ESAS)およびFunctional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-General(FACT-G) scaleを記入した。緩和ケア(PC)、急性期治療(AC)、緊急治療室(ER)、入院(HA)、および死亡に関連する因子を検討した。
METHODS: AOPs at a comprehensive cancer center were enrolled in a Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation program. Participants completed the Edmonton Symptom Assessment Scale (ESAS) and the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-General (FACT-G) scale. We examined factors associated with palliative care (PC), acute care (AC), emergency room (ER), hospital admissions (HA), and death.
結果:
これらの解析には817人のAOPが含まれ、年齢の中央値は69歳であった。一般的に女性(58.7%)、白人(61.4%)、ステージIV(51.6%)、一般的ながん(消化器がん31.5%、胸部がん25.2%、婦人科がん14.3%)であった。ESAS疼痛、不安、および総スコアは、より多くのPC受診と関連していた(それぞれ、B=0.31、95%CI [0.21, 0.40], p<0.001; B=0.24 [0.12, 0.36], p<0.001; およびB=0.038 [0.02, 0.06], p=0.001)。FACT-G総得点および身体的下位尺度は、PC受診総数と関連していた(それぞれ、B=-0.021[-0.037、-0.006]、p=0.008およびB=-0.181[-0.246、-0.117]、p<0.001)。FACT-Gの社会的下位尺度得点が低いほど、ER受診回数が多いことと関連し(B=-0.03[-0.53、-0.004]、p=0.024)、一方、疲労感の増加はAC受診回数が少ないことと関連した(B=-0.039[-0.073、-0.006]、p=0.023)。ESAS総得点が高いほど、30日以内の死亡と関連していた(OR=0.87 [0.76, 0.98], p=0.027)。
RESULTS: In all, 817 AOPs were included in these analyses with a median age of 69. They were generally female (58.7%), white (61.4%), stage IV (51.6%), and represented common cancers (31.5% GI, 25.2% thoracic, 14.3% gynecologic). ESAS pain, anxiety, and total score were related to more PC visits (B=0.31, 95% CI [0.21, 0.40], p<0.001; B=0.24 [0.12, 0.36], p<0.001; and B=0.038 [0.02, 0.06], p=0.001, respectively). Total FACT-G score and physical subscale were related to total PC visits (B=-0.021 [-0.037, -0.006], p=0.008 and B=-0.181 [-0.246, -0.117], p<0.001, respectively). Lower FACT-G social subscale scores were related to more ER visits (B=-0.03 [-0.53, -0.004], p=0.024), while increased tiredness was associated with fewer AC visits (B=-0.039 [-0.073, -0.006], p=0.023). Higher total ESAS scores were related to death within 30 days (OR=0.87 [0.76, 0.98], p=0.027).
結論:
ESASおよびFACT-G評価は、PCおよびACの受診および死亡と関連していた。これらの評価は、ルーチンのPCが有益であろうAOPを同定するのに有用であろう。
CONCLUSIONS: The ESAS and FACT-G assessments were linked to PC and AC visits and death. These assessments may be useful for identifying AOPs that would benefit from routine PC.
