摘要
背景:便秘在晚期癌症患者中很常见,并与显著的发病率和健康经济负担相关,但往往管理不善。尽管功能性便秘和阿片类药物引起的便秘的国际共识诊断标准(罗马IV诊断标准),“便秘”一词对不同的人意味着不同的东西,影响评估、诊断和管理。目的:探讨晚期癌症患者便秘自述与阿片类药物引起便秘的罗马IV诊断标准陈述的反应之间的关系以及个人人口统计学差异。设计:多中心前瞻性观察研究。环境/参与者:10个欧洲国家的24个社区、临终关怀和医院研究点招募了1200名患有癌症的成年人,他们服用阿片类药物来治疗癌症/癌症治疗相关的疼痛。结果:在回答“你便秘吗?”, 549名(45.5%)参与者回答“是”,588名(49%)回答“否”,59名(5%)回答“不确定”,但713名(59.5%)参与者符合罗马IV诊断标准。只有439(61.5%)名符合这些标准的参与者对简单问题的回答是肯定的,而230(39%)名回答是否定的,尽管对简单问题的回答与标准之间存在统计学上显著的关联(χ2(1, N = 1136) = 149.945, p = 0.00001)。根据年龄和原籍国的不同,自我报告有一定的显著差异。结论:患者自述便秘与罗马IV诊断标准存在差异。晚期癌症患者,特别是那些接受阿片类镇痛药的患者,需要定期进行便秘评估,但使用一个问题(“你便秘吗?”)是不够的。注册:欧洲阿片类药物诱导便秘研究(E-StOIC), NCT05149833, https://clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT05149833, 08/12/2021。
'Constipation': One word, many meanings amongst persons with cancer: An observational study.
Background: Constipation is common in people with advanced cancer and is associated with significant morbidity and health economic burden, but it is often sub-optimally managed. Despite international consensus diagnostic criteria for functional and opioid-induced constipation (Rome IV diagnostic criteria), the term 'constipation' means different things to different people, impacting assessment, diagnosis and management.
Aim: To investigate the association between persons with advanced cancer self-reporting of constipation, response to the Rome IV diagnostic criteria statements for opioid-induced constipation and differences according to personal demographics.
Setting/participants: Twenty-four community, hospice and hospital research sites in 10 European countries recruited 1200 adults with cancer taking opioids for cancer/cancer-treatment related pain.
Results: In response to the simple question 'Are you constipated?', 549 (45.5%) participants replied 'yes', 588 (49%) replied 'no' and 59 (5%) were 'unsure', but 713 (59.5%) participants met the Rome IV diagnostic criteria. Only 439 (61.5%) participants that met these criteria answered the simple question positively, whilst 230 (39%) answered negatively, although there was a statistically significant association between responses to the simple question and the criteria (χ2(1, N = 1136) = 149.945, p = 0.00001). There were certain significant differences in self-reporting according to age and country of origin.
Conclusions: There is disparity between patients' self-reporting of constipation and the Rome IV diagnostic criteria. People with advanced cancer, especially those receiving opioid analgesics, need to be regularly assessed for constipation, but the use of a single question ('Are you constipated?') is inadequate.Registry: European Study of Opioid Induced Constipation (E-StOIC), NCT05149833, https://clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT05149833, 08/12/2021.
