Abstract:
Objective
To analyze the status and influencing factors of cancer-related fatigue in patients with end-stage lung cancer.
Methods
All of 75 patients with end-stage lung cancer admitted to our hospital from August 2021 to August 2023 were selected as subjects. According to the revised Piper fatigue scale(RPFS),32 cases with cancer-related fatigue were divided into observation group and 43 cases without cancerrelated fatigue were divided into control group. The RPFS score was analyzed,the clinical data of the two groups were compared,and the influencing factors of cancer-related fatigue in end-stage lung cancer patients were analyzed by Logistic regression,and a nomogram model was established.
Results
The scores of physical,behavioral,cognitive and emotional fatigue in the observation group were (5.09±1.17),(5.17±1.01),(4.08±0.89) and (4.12±0.95),respectively. The average total score was (4.58±1.12). The visual analog scale(VAS) score of the observation group (3.50±0.70) was higher than that of the control group (2.65±0.68)(P<0.05),and the Karnofsky (KPS)score (75.06±5.48) and SSRS (26.09±3.06) of the observation group were lower than those of control group KPS(82.31±6.45) and SSRS (29.97±3.31) (P<0.05). Logistic results showed that VAS score (OR=25.507,95%CI: 5.523~117.802) was a risk factor for cancer-related fatigue,KPS score (OR=0.725,95%CI: 0.585 ~0.900),SSRS score (OR=0.679,95%CI: 0.492 ~0.936) was a protective factor for cancer-related fatigue (P<0.05). 75 cases by 7∶3 split the training set and the verification set,the training set of 52 cases,the verification set of 23 cases,the training set and the verification set predicted the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve (area under curve,AUC) (95%CI) were 0.98(0.96~1.00) and 0.93 (0.80~1.00),respectively. Calibration curve results showed that the calibration curve predicted by the nomogram model was close to the ideal curve (P=0.907,0.871). The decision curve analysis(DCA) shows that the probability threshold of the nomogram model was 20%~90% and the net return was higher.
Conclusion
The incidence of cancer-related fatigue is high in patients with end-stage lung cancer.VAS score,KPS score and SSRS score are influential factors of cancer-related fatigue in end-stage lung cancer.Targeted intervention can reduce the incidence of fatigue.
