Perceived Psychological and Physical Health as Predictors of Mortality and Quality of Life in Patients with Lymphedema: A Prospective Study Spanning Almost Two Decades.
Background: How does living with a chronic disease of the lymphatic system affect quality of life and mortality? Lymphedema is a chronic disease mostly affecting women and research is sparse. To this date, longitudinal studies evaluating biopsychosocial predictors for mortality and quality of life in lymphedema are largely missing. This study aims to identify possible predictors and could open innovative ways for treatment options.
Method: Two hundred ninety-two patients with lymphedema partaking in a rehabilitation program in a lymphedema clinic were longitudinally assessed. The sample consisted of 86.2% women, aged between 18 and 83 years (M = 53.42, SD = 12.54), with a mean BMI (kg/m2) of 31.64 (SD = 8.26). Beginning with baseline assessment in 2002-2006, follow-up was evaluated 15-19 years later (N = 91). We assessed a variety of potential biopsychosocial predictors of mortality and quality of life (i.e., depression, anxiety, cancer). At follow-up, 19.5% of participants were deceased.
Results: Age, gender, and cancer significantly predicted mortality (R2 = .27) and quality of life (R2 = .29). Anxiety and depression significantly predicted both quality of life and mortality when entered simultaneously. However, further analyses indicated suppressor effects and when entered separately, effects solely for depression or anxiety did not reach significance level.
Conclusion: Age, gender, and cancer were the main predictors of mortality and quality of life in patients with lymphedema. Psychological predictors of mortality and quality of life were mainly due to suppressor effects, thus calling for caution when analyzing the contribution of mental health indicators for clinical outcomes.
Trial registration: This study was preregistered with the German Clinical Trials Register (Identifier DRKS00024450) and Open Science Framework ( https://doi.org/10.17605/OSF.IO/RHXQJ ).
期刊介绍:
The International Journal of Behavioral Medicine (IJBM) is the official scientific journal of the International Society for Behavioral Medicine (ISBM). IJBM seeks to present the best theoretically-driven, evidence-based work in the field of behavioral medicine from around the globe. IJBM embraces multiple theoretical perspectives, research methodologies, groups of interest, and levels of analysis. The journal is interested in research across the broad spectrum of behavioral medicine, including health-behavior relationships, the prevention of illness and the promotion of health, the effects of illness on the self and others, the effectiveness of novel interventions, identification of biobehavioral mechanisms, and the influence of social factors on health. We welcome experimental, non-experimental, quantitative, qualitative, and mixed-methods studies as well as implementation and dissemination research, integrative reviews, and meta-analyses.
