Needs and health-related quality of life domains relevant to people in Europe with advanced cancer in need of palliative care
These findings emphasise the predominance of the psychological function domain in cancer patients requiring palliative care, including cancer-related anxiety and distress, coping mechanisms, control and decision-making, and fearing and expecting death. Additionally, clinical management unmet needs were identified in health care, information and communication, and end-of-life settings (home vs. hospital)
Evaluating the Involvement of People With Cancer and Informal Caregivers in the Development Process of a New Set of Quality of Life Questionnaires
INTRODUCTION: There is a general need for sharing practical examples of Patient and Public Involvement (PPI) within the research field to learn from and inspire. The aim of this article is to describe our process evaluation of PPI within the development process of the EUonQoL-Kit, a new set of quality of life questionnaires aimed at people with (past experience of) cancer. METHODS: Five co-researchers (people with cancer and informal caregivers) …

An Evaluation of the Italian Version of the Fagerström Test for Nicotine Dependence
This study examined the psychometric properties of an Italian version of the Fagerström Test for Nicotine Dependence in a sample of 593 smokers who were enrolled in a randomized Phase IV clinical trial to compare bupropion to placebo. This version was administered at baseline, and from each participant an expired air carbon monoxide (CO) measure was taken. Spearman correlations between the Total score and CO concentration were .27 in the combined…

The Italian SF-36 Health Survey
Cross-Validation of Item Selection and Scoring for the SF-12 Health Survey in Nine Countries
Predicting Outcome in the Intensive Care Unit Using Scoring Systems
OBJECTIVES: This study sought to compare the performance of the old and new versions of the Simplified Acute Physiology Score, SAPS and SAPS II, in classifying patients according to the risk of hospital mortality. METHODS: To compare the performance of the two systems, measures of association between the scores and observed mortality were adopted, together with discrimination (area under the Receiver Operating Characteristics curve) and calibrati…
The Importance of Co-existent Disease in the Occurrence of Postoperative Complications and One-Year Recovery in Patients Undergoing Total Hip Replacement
Co-existent or comorbid diseases are appreciated as prognostic factors in studies of quality and effectiveness of care when mortality is the end point. The need to measure and adjust for comorbidity in studies of postoperative hospital complications or long-term recovery from surgery has not been documented. In this study, we determined the impact of co-existent disease on post-operative complications and 1-year health-related quality of life in …

The role of attitudes, beliefs, and personal characteristics of Italian physicians in the surgical treatment of early breast cancer
The influence of Italian physicians' attitudes, beliefs, and personal characteristics on medical decision making is examined in the case of surgical treatment of early breast cancer. Responses to a mail survey of 657 physicians from different specialties were analyzed comparing doctors recommending a radical procedure (9%) to those preferring a conservative procedure for younger patients only (25%), and those considering conservative surgery the …
The Impact of Patient Management Guidelines on the Care of Breast, Colorectal, and Ovarian Cancer Patients in Italy
The impact of a national education program based on the dissemination of written guidelines for the treatment of breast, colorectal, and ovarian cancer was investigated in Italy. Through a survey of 770 physicians exploring their knowledge and attitudes and a review of medical records of 1,483 patients assessing current clinical practice, this study examined whether 1) the guidelines reached the target population of physicians, 2) they were effec…
