The health status of 69 survivors of high-risk acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) is assessed using a multi-attribute classification system. Seven attributes are included: sensation, mobility, emotion, cognition, self-care, pain and fertility. Three to five levels of functioning are defined for each attribute. Comprehensive health states are described as a specific combination of seven attribute levels. The system captures combinations of sequelae. The system provides a compact but comprehensive tool for long term follow up of survivors of childhood cancer. The results underscore the cognitive and emotional burdens of morbidity affecting survivors of high-risk ALL.
使用多属性分类系统评估了69名高危急性淋巴细胞白血病(ALL)幸存者的健康状况。该系统包含七个属性:感觉、活动能力、情绪、认知、自我护理、疼痛和生育能力。为每个属性定义了三到五个功能水平。综合健康状态被描述为七个属性水平的特定组合。该系统记录了后遗症的组合情况。该系统为儿童癌症幸存者的长期随访提供了一个简洁而全面的工具。研究结果强调了疾病给高危ALL幸存者带来的认知和情感负担。
