ObjectivesDespite the negative influence of fatigue on quality of life in patients who undergo lung cancer surgery, little is known about the possible predictors of postoperative fatigue. The aim of this study was to examine demographic and clinical characteristics that might predict postoperative fatigue 5 months after lung cancer surgery.DesignA prospective longitudinal follow-up study comprising preoperative and postoperative questionnaires, including Lee Fatigue Scale, and sociodemographic and clinical data.SettingThree university hospitals in Norway (eg, Oslo University Hospital, St. Olav University Hospital and Haukeland University Hospital).ParticipantsIn total, 196 surgically treated patients who answered the questionnaires both preoperatively and at 5-month follow-up with valid fatigue scores.ResultsBivariate analyses showed that preoperative fatigue was associated with comorbidities and the symptoms of shortness of breath, cough, depression, anxiety, sleep disturbance and pain. Only cough was directly associated with preoperative fatigue in a regression model. Comorbidities and the symptoms of shortness of breath, cough, depression and sleep disturbance were associated with postoperative fatigue in the bivariate analyses, but only shortness of breath was associated with postoperative fatigue in the regression model. We did not find any significant correlations between fatigue and any treatment variable.ConclusionClinicians should pay special attention to lung symptoms and be aware that these may lead to long-term postoperative fatigue. Further research should examine whether interventions reducing lung symptoms, such as shortness of breath and coughing, may prevent development of fatigue in patients undergoing lung cancer surgery.

Hip Function

Abstract Data on outcome in patients with acetabular retroversion (AR) treated with reverse periacetabular osteotomy (reverse PAO) are sparse. The aim of the study was to investigate changes in pain and hip function among patients with AR 2 years after reverse PAO and to examine whether changes in pain were associated with changes in hip function. In addition, to evaluate patient satisfaction and changes in quality of life (QoL). We present a prospective follow-up study with patient-reported outcome data from Aarhus University Hospital in Denmark. Pain at rest and during activity was measured with a Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), hip function with the Hip disability and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (HOOS) and QoL with the Short-Form 36, pre-operatively and 2 years after reverse PAO in 74 patients. Changes were analysed using paired t-test and multiple linear regressions. Significant and clinically relevant mean improvements in pain and hip function were found. The numbers of responders achieving a minimal clinically important difference varied from 51 to 73%. Positive significant association between changes in pain and changes in hip function were found. Significant mean improvement in QoL was found. The study had a loss to follow-up of 23%. Two years after reverse PAO, patients diagnosed with AR showed significant and clinically relevant mean improvements in pain and hip function. Decreased pain was significantly associated with improved hip function. The majority of patients were satisfied with the result of surgery and QoL was similar to the Danish background population.

Schizophrenic Patients

A 21–27-year follow-up was conducted on 140 schizophrenic patients consecutively discharged from the Department of Neuropsychiatry, Gunma University Hospital, between 1958 and 1962, and 130 patients (93%) were successfully evaluated. Of these patients, 105 were still living, and the longitudinal courses could be fully observed in 98. With regard to the social outcome of the 105 patients, 47% were assessed as 'self-supportive’ whereas 31% were ‘hospitalised‘. As for psychopathological outcome, 31% were ‘recovered’, 46% were ‘improvead’, and 23% were ‘unimproved‘. In the studies of the longitudinal courses of the 98 patients, fluctuating courses of social adjustment were the most numerous in the early stages, whereas in the later stages many of the patients showed differentiation in one of two directions, namely the 'stable self-supportive’ state and the ‘chronic institutionalised’ state. However, this form of differentiation was not revealed in the distribution of psychopathological ‘end states'.
