Fatigue Syndrome in Patients with Bone and Soft Tissue Sarcomas: An Observational Study.

Objectives: The aim of the present study is to describe the course of fatigue syndrome in patients with musculoskeletal tumors starting from chemotherapy and to compare it with that of other cancer populations. The second objective is to identify the risk factors for a higher level of fatigue.

Methods: A prospective prognostic observational cohort study was carried out.

Fatigue, functional ability and quality of life in patients with bone and soft tissue sarcomas undergoing chemotherapy treatment: An observational study.

Purpose: the aim of the study is to evaluate the presence of fatigue syndrome, the quality of life and functional ability of patients with bone and soft tissue sarcomas during the first 6 months of chemotherapy and identify possible prognostic factors.

Methods: prospective observational study was conducted. All patients about to start chemotherapy were consecutively recruited from July 2019 to April 2021.

Analysis of risk factors for central venous catheter-related complications: a prospective observational study in pediatric patients with bone sarcomas.

Background: The incidence of central venous catheter (CVC)-related complications reported in pediatric sarcoma patients is not established as reports in available literature are limited. The analysis of risk factors is part of the strategy to reduce the incidence of CVC complications.

Objective: The objective of this study was to determine the incidence of CVC complications in children with bone sarcomas and if defined clinical variables represent a risk factor.

Extravasation of antineoplastic agents: prevention and treatments.

The extravasation of antineoplastic agents is an unwanted and distressing situation that can easily occur. It may cause severe and irreversible local injuries. Left untreated, vesicant chemotherapy extravasation can potentially cause tissue necrosis, functional impairment and permanent disfigurement.

Unlabelled: Effectiveness of the transparent sterile dressing vs standard to fix the peripheral venous catheter (PVC), on the incidence of phlebitis. A randomized controlled trial.

Introduction: The type of dressing could contribute to the incidence of phlebitis, infiltration and accidental removals but the results of the studies are contrasting and samples are limited.

[Cohort study of peripheral catheter related complications and identification of predictive factors in a population of orthopedic patients].

Introduction: Peripheral venous catheters (PVC) may cause complications, specifically local. Their management varies across health care workers and wards, and guidelines recommendations are often weak and based on experts' opinion.

Aim: To measure the incidence of PVCs phlebitis, occlusions, accidental removal and infiltrations and their predictive factors in an orthopedic population.
