Symptom burden is known to be high in patients with hematologic malignancies and can adversely impact patients' quality of life. The aims of this retrospective observational cohort study were to explore symptoms in patients with hematologic malignancies, including during the last year of life, to explore symptom profiles in patients with hematologic malignancies, and to explore associations among symptoms/symptom profiles and demographic, clinical, and treatment-related variables. Symptom prevalence and severity and symptom profiles were explored in patients with hematologic malignancies who completed patient-reported outcome measures (n = 6136) between October 2019 and April 2020. Emergency department visits and hospital admissions during the study period were reviewed. Chart audits were undertaken for patients who died within a year of completing patient-reported outcome measures (n = 432) to explore symptoms and healthcare utilization in the last year of life. Patients with hematologic malignancies in this study reported multiple symptoms co-occurring, with more than 50% of patients reporting four or more symptoms. Classes of co-occurring symptoms (symptom profiles) were associated with demographic and clinical factors as well as with healthcare utilization, particularly emergency department visits. The most reported symptoms were tiredness, impaired well-being, and drowsiness. The findings emphasize the need for more supports for patients with hematologic malignancies, particularly for symptom management.
已知血液系统恶性肿瘤患者的症状负担较重,且会对患者的生活质量产生不利影响。这项回顾性观察性队列研究的目的是探究血液系统恶性肿瘤患者的症状,包括生命的最后一年的症状,探究血液系统恶性肿瘤患者的症状特征,并探究症状/症状特征与人口统计学、临床和治疗相关变量之间的关联。对在2019年10月至2020年4月期间完成患者报告结局测量的血液系统恶性肿瘤患者(n = 6136)的症状患病率、严重程度和症状特征进行了探究。对研究期间的急诊科就诊和住院情况进行了审查。对在完成患者报告结局测量后一年内死亡的患者(n = 432)进行了病历审核,以探究生命最后一年的症状和医疗保健利用情况。本研究中的血液系统恶性肿瘤患者报告了多种症状同时出现,超过50%的患者报告有四种或更多症状。同时出现的症状类别(症状特征)与人口统计学和临床因素以及医疗保健利用情况相关,尤其是急诊科就诊。报告最多的症状是疲劳、幸福感受损和嗜睡。研究结果强调需要为血液系统恶性肿瘤患者提供更多支持,尤其是在症状管理方面。
