Abstract
Objective
Total laryngectomy (TL) is a standard induction treatment for laryngeal cancer. Patients have shown decreased quality of life (QOL) following laryngectomy potentially due to its impact on communication. This study is a systematic review of the effects of TEP on QOL in TL patients.
Methods
Data was extracted from PubMed, Ovid Medline, and Web of Science. A systematic review of literature assessing QOL after TEP within the last decade was conducted using PRISMA methodology. The initial search yielded 71 publications filtered to 15 after removing duplicates, non-English publications, and title screening. Two researchers independently reviewed abstracts, and 11 articles were retained. After a full article review, 6 examined QOL in TEP patients.
Results
The studies concluded that post-TL, patients with TEP experienced improved QOL than before the procedure or non-TEP alternatives for speech. The collective sample size yielded 253 patients. Meta-analysis demonstrated significant improvement in QOL described by the University of Washington—Quality of Life Index (p < .0001) and insignificant improvement defined by the Voice Handicap Index (p = .07). Several additional indices were included in the articles, all of which indicated improved QOL in TL patients post-TEP. These scales could not undergo meta-analysis due to their presence in only 1 study each.
Conclusion
TEP is a valuable intervention in improving patient QOL and satisfaction following TL. There is no standardized tool for describing QOL in TL patients, so the authors recommend tools be chosen based on the specific aspects of QOL they represent.
目的:全喉切除术是标准的喉癌诱导治疗方法。由于喉切除术对沟通的影响,患者的生活质量(QOL)可能会下降。本研究系统回顾了TEP对TL患者生活质量的影响。方法:数据提取自PubMed、Ovid Medline和Web of Science。在过去十年中,使用PRISMA方法对评估TEP后生活质量的文献进行了系统回顾。最初的搜索结果是71篇出版物,在删除重复、非英语出版物和标题筛选后,筛选出15篇。两名研究人员独立审查了摘要,并保留了11篇文章。在完整的文章回顾后,6个检查TEP患者的生活质量。结果:研究表明,术后TEP患者的生活质量较术前或非TEP患者改善。总的样本量为253例。荟萃分析显示华盛顿大学生活质量指数所描述的生活质量有显著改善(p p = .07)。文章中还包括了一些其他指标,这些指标都表明tep后TL患者的生活质量得到了改善。由于这些量表仅在一项研究中出现,因此无法进行荟萃分析。结论:TEP是改善TL患者生活质量和满意度的一种有价值的干预措施,目前尚无描述TL患者生活质量的标准化工具,因此作者建议根据其所代表的生活质量的具体方面来选择工具。证据等级:2a。
