To comprehensively compare quality-of-life (QoL) outcomes between open partial nephrectomy (OPN) and robot-assisted PN (RAPN) from the randomised ROBOtic-assisted versus Conventional Open Partial nephrectomy (ROBOCOP) II trial, as QoL data comparing OPN and RAPN are virtually non-existent, especially not from randomised controlled trials (RCTs).
The ROBOCOP II was a single-centre, open-label RCT between OPN and RAPN. The pre-planned analyses of QoL outcomes are presented. Data were analysed descriptively in a modified intention-to-treat population.
A total of 50 patients underwent surgery. At postoperative Day 90 (POD90), there was no significant difference for the Kidney Disease Quality of Life-Short Form questionnaire score (mean [sd] OPN 72 [20] vs RAPN 76 [15], P = 0.850), while there were advantages for RAPN in the subdomains of 'Pain' (P = 0.006) and 'Physical functioning' (P = 0.011) immediately after surgery. For the European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer quality of life questionnaire 30-item core there were overall advantages directly after surgery (mean [sd] score OPN 63 [20] vs RAPN 75 [17], P = 0.031), as well as for the subdomains 'Fatigue' (P = 0.026), 'Pain' (P = 0.002) and 'Constipation' (P = 0.045) but no differences at POD90. There were no differences for the EuroQoL five Dimensions five Levels questionnaire at POD90 (mean [sd] score OPN 70 [22] vs RAPN 72 [17], P = 1.0) or at any other time point. Finally, no significant differences were found for the overall Convalescence and Recovery Evaluation questionnaire score at POD90 (mean [sd] OPN 84 [13] vs RAPN 86 [10], P = 0.818) but less pain in the RAPN group (P = 0.017) directly after surgery.
Pain and physical functioning as subdomains of QoL are improved after RAPN compared to OPN in the early postoperative course, while there are no differences anymore after 3 months.
全面比较开放部分肾切除术(OPN)和机器人辅助肾部分切除术(RAPN)的生活质量(QoL)结局,来自随机 ROBOtic 辅助与传统开放部分肾切除术(ROBOCOP) II 试验,因为比较 OPN 和 RAPN 的 QoL 数据几乎不存在,特别是没有随机对照试验(RCT)。
ROBOCOP II 是一项 OPN 和 RAPN 之间的单中心、开放标签 RCT。呈现了 QoL 结局的预设分析。在改良意向治疗人群中进行了描述性数据分析。
共有 50 例患者接受了手术。在术后第 90 天(POD90),肾脏病生活质量-短表评分(OPN 为 72[20],RAPN 为 76[15],P=0.850)无显著差异,而 RAPN 在术后即刻的“疼痛”(P=0.006)和“身体机能”(P=0.011)亚域具有优势。对于欧洲癌症研究和治疗组织 30 项核心生活质量问卷,术后即刻总体上具有优势(OPN 评分 63[20],RAPN 评分 75[17],P=0.031),以及“疲劳”(P=0.026)、“疼痛”(P=0.002)和“便秘”(P=0.045)亚域,但在 POD90 时无差异。在 POD90 时欧洲五维健康量表五水平问卷(OPN 评分 70[22],RAPN 评分 72[17],P=1.0)或任何其他时间点均无差异。最后,在 POD90 时总体恢复和康复评估问卷评分(OPN 评分 84[13],RAPN 评分 86[10],P=0.818)无显著差异,但 RAPN 组术后即刻疼痛较轻(P=0.017)。
与 OPN 相比,RAPN 术后早期 QoL 的“疼痛”和“身体机能”亚域得到改善,而 3 个月后则无差异。
