Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to compare the quality of life (QoL) between prostate cancer patients who recover testosterone levels after androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) and those who do not.
- The analysis involved 494 patients from a Phase III trial, looking at QoL measurements over time, with findings showing that patients with testosterone recovery reported a significantly better QoL compared to those without recovery.
- Results indicated that testosterone recovery occurred faster in patients who underwent a shorter 18-month ADT regimen, and this recovery was linked to improvements in various QoL measures.
Objective: To analyze changes in baseline characteristics of patients with very early rheumatoid arthritis (RA) over 24 years in the Early Undifferentiated Polyarthritis (EUPA) cohort.
Methods: Consecutive patients with recent-onset polyarthritis fulfilling RA classification criteria recruited in EUPA were assessed at baseline. Three successive periods were defined: (1) prior to the general availability of biologics (1998-2004; 245 patients), (2) prior to the implantation of the 2010 classification criteria (2005-2010; 266 patients), and (3) the most recent decade (2011-2022; 329 patients).
