Long-term mortality and health-related quality of life of lower versus higher oxygenation targets in ICU patients with severe hypoxaemia

Elena Crescioli et al.

Summary: This study compared the outcomes of ICU patients with severe hypoxaemia under lower oxygenation targets (8 kPa) and higher oxygenation targets (12 kPa) after one year. The results showed that there was no improvement in survival or health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in the lower oxygenation group compared to the higher oxygenation group.

Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement in Radiation Oncology: Interpretation of Individual Scores and Change over Time in Clinical Practice

Jae-Yung Kwon et al.

Summary: There may be inconsistencies in how patients interpret and respond to patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) due to cultural, environmental, personal, or experiential factors. Differential item functioning (DIF) and response shift (RS) can threaten the accurate interpretation and use of PROMs, potentially leading to erroneous conclusions about effectiveness and flawed clinical decision-making.

Magnitude and Variability of Stroke Patient-Proxy Disagreement Across Multiple Health Domains

Brittany R. Lapin et al.

Summary: The study found that proxies completing patient-reported outcome measures for stroke patients reported worse functioning and more symptoms compared to patients, with lower agreement on more subjective domains. At the individual level, a large proportion of dyads reported meaningfully different scores across all domains, affecting the interpretability of proxy responses on outcome measures in a clinical setting.

Summary: The study found that 50% of ICU survivors experience new physical, mental, and/or cognitive problems within 1 year after admission. There are differences in symptom manifestation among medical patients, urgent surgical patients, and elective surgical patients post-ICU, and pre-ICU health status is a key predictor of post-ICU health issues.
