ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To observe the effect of nurse-patient co-management mode on preventing venous thromboembolism (VTE) in lung cancer patients with carboplatin and gemcitabine chemotherapy after peripheral venipuncture central venous catheterization (PICC).

METHODS: 100 patients with lung cancer admitted to the 2nd Affiliated Hospital of Hainan Medical University from April 2020 to April 2022 were selected. All patients received a combination chemotherapy of carboplatin and gemcitabine and PICC catheterization. The patients were divided into an observation group and a control group by 1:1 simple random method, with 50 cases in each group. Patients in the control group were given routine nursing for lung cancer, and patients in the observation group were treated with nurse-patient co-management mode, and nursing intervention lasted for 2 months. General Comfort Questionnaire, self-management ability, quality of life, Self-care ability Scale, self-rating Anxiety Scale (SAS), and self-rating depression Scale were compared before and after intervention between the two groups. The recovery of immune ability indices (CD3+, CD3+CD4+, CD3+CD8+, CD3+CD4+/CD3+CD8+) in 2 groups were detected. Complications after PICC catheterization were recorded in the two groups.

RESULTS: After nursing, self-rating depression Scale and self-rating Anxiety Scale scores in both groups were significantly decreased, which were lower in the observation group than the control group (P < .001). After nursing, scores of self-concept, self-responsibility, self-care skills, and health knowledge level were significantly increased in both groups, which were higher in the observation group than control group (P < .001). After nursing, scores on the General Comfort Questionnaire, self-management scale, and quality of life were increased in both groups, which were higher in the observation group than control group (P < .0501). After nursing care, the immune competence indices of both patients increased significantly, and the immune indexes of CD3+, CD3+CD4+, and CD3+ CD4+/CD3+CD8+ in the observation group were significantly higher than those in the control group (P < .05). The total incidence of complications in the observation group was significantly lower than that in the control group (8.00% vs. 26.00%, P < .001), and the incidence of venous thromboembolism was significantly lower than that in the control group (2.00% vs. 14.00%, P < .001).

CONCLUSION: The nurse-patient co-management model has shown to be effective in reducing the incidence of venous thromboembolism in patients who have undergone PICC catheterization while receiving carboplatin and gemcitabine chemotherapy. This model also helps patients improve their self-care and self-management abilities, alleviates adverse psychological effects, and contributes to the recovery of their immune system.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: Recent studies suggested a relationship between Takotsubo syndrome (TTS) and malignancy. However, clinical outcomes of TTS associated with cancer have not been assessed completely. This study was aimed to investigate the outcomes of patients with TTS and cancer.

METHODS: We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to evaluate the clinical outcomes of TTS in patients with and without malignancy. We systematically reviewed and analyzed 14 studies (189,210 patients) published in PubMed and Cochrane Library databases until December 2022. The primary outcome was all-cause mortality at the longest follow-up.

RESULTS: The prevalence of current or previous malignancy in patients with TTS was 8.7% (16,461 patients). Patients with TTS and malignancy demonstrated a higher risk of mortality at the longest follow-up than those with TTS alone (odds ratio [OR], 2.41; 95% confidence interval [CI]; 1.95-2.98; P < 0.001). Moreover, cancer was significantly associated with an increased risk of in-hospital or 30-day mortality (OR 2.36; 95% CI, 1.67-3.33; P < 0.001), shock (OR 1.42; 95% CI, 1.30-1.55; P < 0.001), mechanical respiratory support (OR 1.68; 95% CI, 1.59-1.77; P < 0.001), arrhythmia (OR 1.27; 95% CI, 1.21-1.34; P < 0.001), and major adverse cardiac events (OR 1.69; 95% CI, 1.18-2.442; P < 0.001).

CONCLUSIONS: This study revealed significant associations between previous or active cancer and an increased risk of all-cause mortality and in-hospital adverse events in patients with TTS.
