To evaluate older gynecologic oncology patients' quality of life (QOL) at the initiation of chemotherapy and compare their QOL scores with a female age-matched general population (GP) sample.
Cross-sectional.
Older (n = 122) gynecologic oncology patients completed the European Organization for the Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire (QLQ-C30) that evaluates global health and five functional scales (range from 0 to 100). Differences in QOL scores between our sample and the GP were evaluated using one-sample t-tests and effect sizes were calculated using Cohen's d.
Patients' mean age was 70.7 years (±6.6). Mean scores for the function scales ranged from 58.5 (±31.1) for role function to 86.1 (±17.0) for cognitive function. Compared to the GP, our sample reported significantly lower scores for global health status, social, role and physical functioning, and a significantly higher score for cognitive functioning. No differences were found in emotional functioning scores.

评估化疗起始时老年妇科肿瘤患者的生活质量(QOL),并将其 QOL 评分与女性年龄匹配的一般人群(GP)样本进行比较。
横断面研究。
122 名老年妇科肿瘤患者完成了欧洲癌症研究与治疗组织生活质量问卷(QLQ-C30),该问卷评估了总体健康状况和五个功能量表(范围为 0 到 100)。使用单样本 t 检验评估我们的样本与 GP 之间的 QOL 评分差异,并使用 Cohen's d 计算效应大小。
患者的平均年龄为 70.7±6.6 岁。功能量表的平均评分范围从角色功能的 58.5±31.1 到认知功能的 86.1±17.0。与 GP 相比,我们的样本报告全球健康状况、社会、角色和身体功能的评分明显较低,认知功能的评分明显较高。在情感功能评分方面没有差异。
