Abstract

The purpose of this review was to identify cross-cultural and psychometric characteristics of the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Head and neck cancer questionnaire (EORTC QLQ-H&N35) in various languages. A literature search was performed for original papers in PubMed, EMBASE, and Google scholar electronic databases on validation, psychometric properties of the EORTC-H&N35 questionnaire for patients with head and neck cancer. A total of 17 papers had been reviewed systematically. The studies were conducted in 28 countries and EORTC QLQ-H&N35 questionnaire was validated in 21 different languages. The majority of papers reported high reliability having Cronbach's coefficient above 0.70. Low reliability was reported for senses and speech problems, pain, and less sexuality. Moderate to good convergent validity was found as the correlation coefficient was above 0.40 except for speech problems and social contact trouble. Discriminant validity (weak correlations < 0.70) was confirmed in 14 papers. This review provides comprehensive information on cross-cultural and psychometric properties of EORTC QLQ-H&N35 and can be recommended to implement in oncological practice.

Leben statt zu Überleben: Post-Intensive-Care-Syndrom

Immer mehr Menschen überleben kritische Erkrankungen. Aber Beatmung, Sedierung und die Eindrücke der Intensivstation hinterlassen Spuren. Das Post-Intensive-Care-Syndrom kann die Folge sein. Es ist nicht nur eine Herausforderung für Kliniken, sondern auch Hausarztpraxen. Mit Allgemeinmediziner Prof. Dr. med. Konrad Schmidt sprechen wir in dieser Folge darüber, wie die Überlebenden wieder ins Leben finden können.

ctDNA erkennt minimale Resterkrankung beim Melanom

Die Diagnose einer minimalen Resterkrankung mithilfe zirkulierender Tumor-DNA (ctDNA) könnte auch das Management von Patientinnen und Patienten mit Melanomen im Stadium III bereichern, wie Ergebnisse einer Studie nahelegen – auch wenn die Methode noch nicht perfekt funktioniert.

Lösten In-Ear-Kopfhörer den Lagerungsschwindel aus?

Ein 43-jähriger Patient stellt sich wegen Anfällen von Drehschwindel in der Notaufnahme vor. Diese kämen immer nur dann, wenn er zuvor Musik über Kopfhörer gehört habe. Könnte ein Zusammenhang bestehen?

Weniger Bargeld, weniger Erstickungsnotfälle?

Dadurch, dass immer seltener mit Bargeld gezahlt wird, könnte die Rate an Erstickungsnotfällen bei Kindern zurückgehen. Dieser Hypothese ist ein britisches Forschungsteam in Klinikdaten aus den letzten zweieinhalb Jahrzehnten nachgegangen.
