The primary aim of the present study was to compare patient-reported arm function and HRQoL up to 3 years after study inclusion in cT1-2 N0 patients with breast cancer undergoing breast-conserving surgery (BCS) with or without SLNB. The secondary aim was to explore the association between personality traits 'trait anxiety' and 'neuroticism', and perceived arm function and HRQoL.METHODSA total of 1733 women with unilateral cT1-2 N0 invasive breast cancer treated with BCS with or without SLNB were included. The primary outcomes of arm function (assessed using the Lymphoedema Functioning, Disability, and Health Questionnaire) and HRQoL (assessed using the European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer QLQ-C30 and QLQ-BR-23 questionnaires) were analysed.RESULTSAnalyses included 821 patients (383 with SLNB and 438 without SLNB). Those in the SLNB group experienced a slight, temporary decline in arm function (P < 0.025) and reported more HRQoL arm and breast symptoms (P < 0.049). High trait anxiety or neuroticism was associated with significant poorer arm function and lower HRQoL.CONCLUSIONSLNB slightly reduced arm function, temporarily affecting HRQoL arm and breast symptoms. Neuroticism significantly negatively impacted arm function and HRQoL. Measuring and stratifying for personality traits is crucial for interpreting patient-reported outcomes and to identify patients needing additional support after surgery.REGISTRATION NUMBERNCT02271828 (http://www.clinicaltrials.gov).","PeriodicalId":136,"journal":{"name":"British Journal of Surgery","volume":"8 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":9.6,"publicationDate":"2025-04-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143945411","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Breast implants are categorized by surface type as smooth, textured, or polyurethane-covered, each with specific attributed advantages and complication profiles. High-quality comparative studies are, however, limited. This study compared revision incidence and indications for revision among these implant types.METHODSA prospective, nationwide cohort from the Dutch Breast Implant Registry was analysed. Permanent implants used between 2017 and 2022 for direct-to-implant or two-stage reconstruction were included. Surface-related revision was the primary outcome. Cumulative incidences were estimated using a competing risk model. Cause-specific hazard ratios (HRcs) were calculated using univariable and multivariable models, accounting for implant clustering and confounders. Subgroup analyses examined revisions for specific complications.RESULTSOf 3996 implants, 76.9% were textured, 12.4% smooth, and 10.8% polyurethane-covered. At 4 years, the cumulative incidence of revision surgeries did not differ between textured (11.1%; 95% c.i. = 9.9 to 12.5), smooth (13.0%; 95% c.i. = 8.5 to 18.4), and polyurethane-covered (16.1%; 95% c.i. = 12.4 to 20.2) implants. Multivariable analysis found no association between surface type and surface-related revision. Subgroup analysis however revealed that polyurethane-covered implants had increased hazards of revision for capsular contracture (HRcs = 2.49; 95% c.i. = 1.24 to 5.01) and asymmetry (HRcs = 2.31; 95% c.i. = 1.33 to 4.02).CONCLUSIONAfter adjusting for confounders and clustering, surface-related revision in a reconstructive setting did not significantly different among breast implant surface types overall. Polyurethane-covered implants may, however, require more revisions due to capsular contracture and asymmetry.","PeriodicalId":136,"journal":{"name":"British Journal of Surgery","volume":"58 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":9.6,"publicationDate":"2025-04-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144083164","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
