Abstract
Background: No data exist about financial toxicity (FT) for branch duct intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (BD-IPMNs).
Methods: This prospective study analyzed patients with BD-IPMNs from 2023 to 2024. Demographics, clinical data of interest, and radiological and endoscopic information were recorded for each patient. The "Comprehensive Score for Financial Toxicity" (COST) patient-reported outcome measure was used to assess financial toxicity (FT). Lower COST values indicate greater FT. A multilevel, multivariate mixed-effects model was employed.
Results: One hundred sixteen patients were interviewed during routine outpatient follow-up visits. Eighty patients agreed to complete the survey (68.9 %). The COST score was 18 (15-21, IQR), showing a fairly normal distribution (Shapiro-Wilk p = 0.054). The older the age at diagnosis, the greater the perception of FT (p < 0.001). As educational status increased, the FT burden also increased (-1.4 ± 0.6; p = 0.047). Private/self-employed patients (-3.7 ± 1.3; p = 0.004) and unemployed patients (-2.3 ± 1.0; p = 0.016) reported a higher perception of FT compared to pensioners or publicly employed individuals. WFs increase FT (-1.9 ± 0.8; p = 0.014). The longer the follow-up duration, the greater the FT (-0.3 ± 0.1; p = 0.043).
Conclusion: FT can be seen in the BD-IPMN population. The patient's perspective must be taken into account during follow-up.
期刊介绍:
HPB is an international forum for clinical, scientific and educational communication.
Twelve issues a year bring the reader leading articles, expert reviews, original articles, images, editorials, and reader correspondence encompassing all aspects of benign and malignant hepatobiliary disease and its management. HPB features relevant aspects of clinical and translational research and practice.
Specific areas of interest include HPB diseases encountered globally by clinical practitioners in this specialist field of gastrointestinal surgery. The journal addresses the challenges faced in the management of cancer involving the liver, biliary system and pancreas. While surgical oncology represents a large part of HPB practice, submission of manuscripts relating to liver and pancreas transplantation, the treatment of benign conditions such as acute and chronic pancreatitis, and those relating to hepatobiliary infection and inflammation are also welcomed. There will be a focus on developing a multidisciplinary approach to diagnosis and treatment with endoscopic and laparoscopic approaches, radiological interventions and surgical techniques being strongly represented. HPB welcomes submission of manuscripts in all these areas and in scientific focused research that has clear clinical relevance to HPB surgical practice.
HPB aims to help its readers - surgeons, physicians, radiologists and basic scientists - to develop their knowledge and practice. HPB will be of interest to specialists involved in the management of hepatobiliary and pancreatic disease however will also inform those working in related fields.
