Background, Objectives, and Measurements Patients with chronic airway obstruction (CAO) frequently experience dyspnea and fatigue during activities performed by accessory muscles of ventilation, which competitively participate in arm elevation. This systematic review of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) concerning patients with CAO addresses the effects of upper-extremity exercise training (UEET), added to lower-extremity training or comprehensive pulmonary rehabilitation, on the following patient-centered outcomes: exercise capacity, symptoms, ability to perform daily activities, and health-related quality of life. Methods Studies were retrieved using comprehensive database and hand-search strategies. Two independent reviewers determined study eligibility based on inclusion criteria. A detailed description of treatments was mandatory. Reviewers rated study quality and extracted information on study methods, design, intervention, and results. Results Forty publications were evaluated. Four RCTs met the inclusion criteria but had serious methodological limitations, which introduce possible biases that reduce their internal validity. The outcomes measured were heterogeneous, and the results were inconsistent regarding maximal exercise capacity, dyspnea, and health-related quality of life. No effect of UEET was demonstrated for measures of arm fatigue. Limitations and Conclusions The limited methodological quality of the studies retrieved prevented us from performing a meta-analysis, the results of which could be misleading. This systematic review shows that there is limited evidence examining UEET and that the evidence available is of poor quality. Therefore, a recommendation for the inclusion or exclusion of UEET in pulmonary rehabilitation programs for individuals with CAO is not possible. Further research is needed to definitively ascertain the effects of this training modality on patient-centered outcomes.

Temporary Arteriovenous Fistula

Objective We assessed outcomes of open surgical venous thrombectomy with temporary arteriovenous fistula, and the procedure’s effect on health-related quality of life. Method We retrospectively analyzed 48 (26 at long-term) patient medical records. Mortality rates, patency, and risk of post-thrombotic syndrome were analyzed using Kaplan–Meier estimation. The association between risk factors/coagulation disorders and patency/post-thrombotic syndrome along with patient health-related quality of life at long-term was analyzed employing various statistical methods. Results Patient one-year survival rate was 93 ± 4% and primary one-year patency rate was 89 ± 5% (secondary one-year patency rate 97 ± 3%). Freedom from post-thrombotic syndrome after eight years was 80 ± 12% (post-thrombotic syndrome rate 20 ± 12%). Health-related quality of life was impaired vs. normative data in the physical and social subscales, and in the mental component score ( p < .05). Conclusions Open surgical venous thrombectomy appears safe compared with literature-reported outcomes in similar patients using alternative approaches. Iliofemoral deep vein thrombosis impairs physical, social, and mental health-related quality of life.

Abstract Aim The aim of this study is to describe and analyse patient reported HRQoL one year after the diagnosis of oesophageal and junctional carcinoma in an unselected cohort comprising both palliative and curative intent patients. Background & Methods Short and long-term health-related quality of life (HRQoL) has been extensively described in operated oesophageal cancer patients in several population-based studies. However, the knowledge of HRQoL in patients with palliative intent management is not well described, and further, documentation of HRQoL in curative intent patients treated with definitive chemoradiotherapy is also quite scarce. A nation-wide population-based cohort, of patients diagnosed between 2009 and 2016 collected in the Swedish National Registry for Esophageal and Gastric Cancer (NREV) with prospectively registered exposure data and Health-related quality of life (HRQoL) outcome data. Validated instruments from the European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer QLQ-C30 and QLQ-OG25 were used, and data was analysed with means and adjusted mean differences. Results In patients alive one year after diagnosis, 1,156 responded to the HRQOL questionnaires and were included in the analyses. Both curative and palliative intent patients reported severe symptoms of problems in oesophageal specific domains. In the comparison between the curative and palliative intent groups, more prominent symptoms among palliative patients were detected regarding dysphagia (MD 11; 95% ci: 7-15) and anxiety (MD 10; 95% ci: 6 -15). Levels of anxiety were reported with high levels in all groups analysed and problems with dysphagia was also more common in patients treated with definitive chemoradiotherapy compared with surgically treated patients (MD 11; 95% ci: 4 -18) diagnosed in locally advanced disease stages. Conclusion One year after diagnosis high levels of anxiety were reported in all subgroups of oesophageal and junctional cancer patients, and problems with dysphagia are a major problem in the palliative intent subcohort and in patients treated with definitive chemoradiotherapy.
