摘要
背景:疼痛在恶性肿瘤患者中很常见。它显著影响生活质量,但超过80%的晚期癌症患者缺乏适当的疼痛管理。尽管中国的疼痛管理项目有所改善,但挑战依然存在,尤其是在老年人和门诊护理方面。方法:我们采用0-10数值评定量表(NRS)和疼痛管理指数(PMI)对一家肿瘤门诊进行疼痛强度管理充分性评估。采用t检验、秩和和卡方检验对疼痛程度的差异和变化进行统计学分析。使用多变量逻辑回归确定与疼痛管理不足相关的因素。结果:589名参与者中,45.41%的人疼痛评分为中至重度≥4分,81.32%的人疼痛管理不足(PMI < 0)。老年患者的疼痛比年轻患者更严重(4.15±2.89 vs 3.65±2.41,P < 0.001),老年患者的疼痛管理不足(75.47% vs 89.87%)。接受靶向或免疫辅助治疗(优势比[or], 3.206; 95%可信区间[CI], 1.538-6.684)和身体状况不佳(优势比[or], 5.053; 95% CI, 2.023-12.622)成为疼痛管理不当的重要危险因素。结论:对于年龄≥60岁的患者,疼痛管理具有挑战性。因此,需要有针对性的干预措施来提高护理质量。
Pain and Its Treatment Among Outpatients with Malignant Tumors in China.
Background: Pain is common among patients with malignant tumors. It significantly impacts quality of life, yet over 80% of advanced cancer patients lack adequate pain management. Despite improvements in China's pain management program, challenges remain, especially for older adults and outpatient care.
Methods: We evaluated pain intensity management adequacy using a 0-10 numerical rating scale (NRS), and Pain Management Index (PMI) at an outpatient oncology clinic. Differences and changes in pain levels were statistically analyzed using t-test, rank-sum, and chi-square tests. Factors associated with inadequate pain management were identified using multivariate logistic regression.
Results: Among 589 participants, 45.41% scored moderate to severe pain ≥ 4, and 81.32% experienced inadequate pain management (PMI < 0). Pain was more severe among older, than younger patients (4.15 ± 2.89 vs 3.65 ± 2.41, P < 0.001) and pain management was inadequate in older compared with younger patients (75.47% vs 89.87%). Undergoing targeted or immune adjuvant therapy (odds ratio [OR], 3.206; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.538-6.684) and poor physical status (OR, 5.053; 95% CI, 2.023-12.622) emerged as significant risk factors for inadequate pain management.
Conclusion: Pain management is challenging for patients aged ≥60 years. Therefore, tailored interventions are needed to enhance care quality.
