Lymphoma InterVEntion (LIVE) - patient-reported outcome feedback and a web-based self-management intervention for patients with lymphoma: study protocol for a randomised controlled trial.
Trials
April 2017
Background: Patients with lymphoma are at risk of experiencing adverse physical and psychosocial problems from their cancer and its treatment. Regular screening of these symptoms by the use of patient-reported outcomes (PROs) could increase timely recognition and adequate symptom management. Moreover, self-management interventions intend to enhance knowledge and skills and empower patients to better manage their disease and related problems.

This retrospective analysis was performed to investigate whether allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation performed in first complete remission in patients with monosomal karyotype can overcome the adverse prognosis associated with these patients. Of the 4635 patients included in the study, 189 (4%) harbored a monosomal karyotype.

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the presence and extent of atherosclerosis by coronary artery calcification score (CACS) and carotid intima media thickness (IMT) in patients with hemophilia, and to evaluate their cardiovascular risk profile.
Methods: Sixty-nine patients (51 with hemophilia A; 18 with hemophilia B) were studied [median age: 52 years (interquartile range [IQR] 43–64)].
