Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to create a new onco-functional outcome (OFO) classification for glioblastoma patients, combining the goals of complete tumor resection and avoiding functional loss into four categories.
- Analyzing data from 858 patients over ten years, they found that the OFO classification significantly influenced overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) rates, especially in certain tumor types.
- The results showed that achieving the best outcome (OFO1) was linked to improved survival rates and higher likelihood of receiving additional therapy, particularly with awake craniotomy procedures being more effective in avoiding deficits.
Self-efficacy is an important determinant of health behavior that can be targeted for intervention. Little effort has been given to the development of valid measures for self-efficacy with medication taking for adherence research. The purpose of this study was to determine the criterion validity of the Long-Term Medication Behavior Self-Efficacy Scale (LTMBSES).
