Five-year follow-up mortality prognostic index for colorectal patients.

Purpose: To identify 5-year survival prognostic variables in patients with colorectal cancer (CRC) and to propose a survival prognostic score that also takes into account changes over time in the patient's health-related quality of life (HRQoL) status.

Methods: Prospective observational cohort study of CRC patients. We collected data from their diagnosis, intervention, and at 1, 2, 3, and 5 years following the index intervention, also collecting HRQoL data using the EuroQol-5D-5L (EQ-5D-5L), European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer's Quality of Life Questionnaire-Core 30 (EORTC-QLQ-C30), and Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) questionnaires.

Anxiety, depression, health-related quality of life, and mortality among colorectal patients: 5-year follow-up.

Purpose: Health-related quality of life (HRQoL) measurement represents an important outcome in cancer patients. We describe the evolution of HRQoL over a 5-year period in colorectal cancer patients, identifying predictors of change and how they relate to mortality.

Methods: Prospective observational cohort study including colorectal cancer (CRC) patients having undergone surgery in nineteen public hospitals who were monitored from their diagnosis, intervention and at 1-, 2-, 3-, and 5-year periods thereafter by gathering HRQoL data using the EuroQol-5D-5L (EQ-5D-5L), European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer's Quality of Life Questionnaire-Core 30 (EORTC-QLQ-C30), and Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) questionnaires.

Effect of comorbidities on long-term outcomes of colorectal cancer patients.

Objective: The objective of this work is to evaluate the association of comorbidities with various outcomes in patients diagnosed with colon or rectal cancer.

Methods: We conducted a prospective cohort study of patients diagnosed with colon or rectal cancer who underwent surgery. Data were gathered on sociodemographic, clinical characteristics, disease course, and the EuroQol EQ-5D and EORTC QLQ-C30 scores, up to 5 years after surgery.

Quality Indicators and Outcomes in a Prospective Cohort of Colorectal Cancer Patients.

Background: Some quality indicators of proper health care in patients with colorectal cancer have been established.

Aims: Our goal was to evaluate the relationship between performing of certain procedures or treatments, included as quality indicators, and some outcomes of indicators in the follow-up of colorectal cancer patients.

Methods: This was a prospective cohort study of patients diagnosed with colorectal cancer that underwent surgery and were followed at 1, 2, 3, and 5 years.

Risk scores to predict mortality 2 and 5 years after surgery for colorectal cancer in elderly patients.

Background: The aim of this study was to identify predictors of mortality in elderly patients undergoing colorectal cancer surgery and to develop a risk score.

Methods: This was an observational prospective cohort study. Individuals over 80 years diagnosed with colorectal cancer and treated surgically were recruited in 18 hospitals in the Spanish National Health Service, between June 2010 and December 2012, and were followed up 1, 2, 3, and 5 years after surgery.

Emotional Intelligence as a Protective Factor against Victimization in School Bullying.

Previous research has identified the main predictors of being a victim of school bullying. This study focused on the phenomenon of school bullying and its relationship with self-perceived emotional intelligence. The main aim was to analyze the mediating effect of emotional attention, clarity, and repair in relation to school victimization.

Factors associated with colon cancer early, intermediate and late recurrence after surgery for stage I-III: A 5-year prospective study.

Objective: To identify factors associated with early, intermediate or late recurrence colon cancer recurrence.

Methods: A total of 1,732 consecutive patients with colon cancer were recruited and followed for a period of 5 years. Recurrence at 1 year (early), from 1 to 2 (early), from 2 to 3 (intermediate) and from 3 to 5 years (late) was the main outcome measures.

Predictors of readmission and reoperation in patients with colorectal cancer.

Purpose: To assess the impact of readmission and reoperation on colon or rectal cancer patients in clinical and patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) and to identify predictors of these events up to 1 year after surgery.

Methods: Prospective cohort study of patients diagnosed with colon or rectal cancer who underwent surgery at 1 of 22 hospitals. Medical history, clinical parameters, and PROMs were evaluated as possible predictors.

Risk factors affecting hospital stay among patients undergoing colon cancer surgery: a prospective cohort study.

Purpose: To identify and validate risk factors that contribute to prolonged length of hospital stay (LOS) in patients undergoing resection for colorectal cancer.

Methods: This prospective cohort study included 1955 patients admitted to 22 hospitals for primary resection of colorectal cancer. Multivariate analyses were used to identify and validate risk factors, randomizing patients into a derivation and a validation cohort.

Predictors of one and two years' mortality in patients with colon cancer: A prospective cohort study.

Background: Tools to aid in the prognosis assessment of colon cancer patients in terms of risk of mortality are needed. Goals of this study are to develop and validate clinical prediction rules for 1- and 2-year mortality in these patients.

Methods: This is a prospective cohort study of patients diagnosed with colon cancer who underwent surgery at 22 hospitals.

Outcomes of open versus laparoscopic surgery in patients with colon cancer.

Objective: There is limited information on health service use or patient-reported outcomes when comparing the effectiveness of laparoscopic with that of open surgery. The aim was to compare the effectiveness of laparoscopic with that of open surgery up to 2 years after intervention in patients with colon cancer.

Methods: Prospective cohort study of patients with colon cancer who underwent surgery (laparoscopic or open surgery) between June 2010 and December 2012, at 22 hospitals.

Cost-effectiveness analysis of laparoscopic versus open surgery in colon cancer.

Background: Few economic evaluations have assessed laparoscopy for colon cancer. This study aimed to compare the cost-effectiveness of laparoscopic and open surgery for the treatment of colon cancer.

Method: A cost-effectiveness analysis was performed comparing two groups of patients treated according to standard clinical practice (REDISSEC-CARESS/CCR cohort) by laparoscopic or open surgery.

Outcomes of open versus laparoscopic surgery in patients with rectal cancer.

Purpose: The goal of this study was to compare the effectiveness of laparoscopic with that of open surgery up to 2 years after intervention in patients with rectal cancer.

Methods: This is a prospective cohort study of patients with rectal cancer who underwent surgery (laparoscopic or open) between June 2010 and December 2012 in 22 acute hospitals. Main outcomes were mortality, complications, reoperation, readmission, and patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs), as measured using the EuroQol-5D (EQ-5D), European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) QLQ-Q30 and Q29, the Barthel Index (BI), and the Duke-UNC Functional Social Support Questionnaire at baseline, 1 year, and 2 years after surgery.
