Abstract

Goals of work Insomnia is the most common sleep disorder in patients with advanced cancer. The goal of this study was to investigate the relationship between insomnia and patient satisfaction with quality of life (QoL) in cancer.Materials and methods A case series of 954 cancer patients treated at Cancer Treatment Centers of America was investigated. Insomnia was measured using the EORTC QLQ-C30 insomnia subscale. Patient satisfaction with QoL was measured using the Ferrans and Powers Quality of Life Index (QLI). The relationship between insomnia and QLI was evaluated using multivariate analysis of variance and multiple regression analysis.Results Of 954 patients, 579 were females and 375 males, with the median age at presentation of 56 years (range, 20-90 years). Most common cancers were breast (26%), colorectal (19%), and lung (16%). After controlling for the effects of age and treatment history, every 10-unit increase in insomnia was statistically significantly associated with 0.67-, 0.17-, 0.42-, 0.20-, and 0.42-unit decline in QLI health/physical, social/economic, psychological/spiritual, family, and overall QoL functioning, respectively.Conclusions We found that insomnia is strongly correlated with patient satisfaction with QoL in cancer. Future studies should evaluate the impact of integrative cancer care services on patient satisfaction with QoL.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
