Resumen
LEON-BASANTES, Guillermo et al. Quality of life in patients with Philadelphia negative chronic myeloproliferative neoplasms. Acta Med Colomb [online]. 2019, vol.44, n.2, pp.82-90. ISSN 0120-2448.
Introduction:
the symptomatic burden of patients with Philadelphia negative chronic myelopro liferative neoplasms (NMC-PhN) affects the quality of life (QL). There are scales to evaluate the magnitude of the symptoms; one of them, MPN-SAF-10. In our region there is scarce information on QL of patients with NMC-PhN.
Objectives:
To estimate the quality of life score with the MPN-SAF-10 scale in patients with NMC-PhN treated at Hospital de San José (Bogotá, Colombia) and to explore associations between treatment time, complication load and the effect on the QL.
Material and methods:
Analytical cross-sectional study to evaluate QL based on symptomatic load of patients with NMC-PhN from Hospital de San José (Bogotá, Colombia). A descriptive and stratified analysis of quality of life, cytoreductive treatment and different complications was carried out, as well as association tests of the risk scores of each disease with their respective QL scores.
Results:
in 64 patients the MPN-SAF-10 scale documented medians of global QL scores of 3 (RIC 1-6), MPN-SAF-10 of 20 (RIC 8-32). 49% of the patients had some degree of alteration (30% moderate and 19% severe), without differences between the three diseases. The QL scores did not vary between the NMC-PhN. The treatment and its duration did not correlate with the MPN-SAF-10 scale (Hydroxyurea r: - 0.27, Ruxolitinib r: 0.12).
Conclusions:
in patients with NMC-PhN, the evaluation of QL with the MPN-SAF-10 scale shows some degree of affectation despite the treatment; this is useful to objectify this affectation and should be implemented in clinical practice. (Acta Med Colomb 2019; 44: 82-90).
