Objective: To assess the therapeutic effect of the early interdisciplinary palliative care based on WARM model (whole, assessment, revaluation, management) on the quality of life, psychological state, pain and nutritional status in patients with non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Methods: A total of 60 patients from Chongqing University Cancer Hospital with newly diagnosed advanced NSCLC from Oct 15, 2019 to Jun 12, 2020 were enrolled. According to the method of random number table, the patients were divided into two groups: standard oncologic care group (SC, n=30) and early palliative care group (EPC, n=30). SC group only received standard oncological care, while EPC group received standard oncological care and additional comprehensive treatment from a MDT consisted of medical oncologists, palliative care nurses, dietitians and psychologists. The quality of life [functional assessment of cancer therapy-lung (FACT-L) scale], psychological state [hospital anxiety and depression scale (HADS) and patient health questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9)], nutritional status [patient-generated subjective global assessment (PG-SGA)], and cancer pain status [numerical rating scale (NRS)] were observed and compared between the two groups before and after the 6 months treatment, respectively. Results: A total of 45 patients completed 6 months treatment, including 24 males and 21 females, aged 38-82 (60.5±1.7), with 23 patients in the EPC group and 22 patients in the SC group. Patients assigned to EPC group had a better quality of life than those assigned to SC group [FACT-L scale: (122.3±1.6) vs (111.8±2.1), P<0.001]. Fewer patients had anxiety and depressive symptoms in the EPC group than those in the SC group [HADS anxiety subscale: (1.1±0.3) vs (2.9±0.4), P<0.001; HADS depression subscale: (0.7±0.3) vs (3.6±0.4), P<0.001]. The PHQ-9 results showed that 100.0% (23/23) patients were free of depression in the EPC group, while 45.5% (10/22) patients were free of depression in SC group (P<0.001). Furthermore, patients in the EPC group had a better nutritional status [moderate malnutrition: 60.9% (14/23); no malnutrition: 39.1% (9/23)] than those in the SC group [severe malnutrition: 40.9% (9/22); moderate malnutrition: 50.0% (11/22); no malnutrition: 9.1% (2/22)] (P<0.001). There was no significant difference in NRS score between EPC group and SC group (P=0.140). Conclusion: Early interdisciplinary palliative care based on WARM model can improve the quality of life, psychological state and nutritional status in NSCLC patients.
目的： 探讨基于WARM（whole，assessment，revaluation，management）模型的早期跨学科姑息支持治疗对非小细胞肺癌（NSCLC）患者生活质量、心理状态、疼痛和营养状况的治疗效果。 方法： 选择2019年10月至2020年6月重庆大学附属肿瘤医院初诊为晚期NSCLC患者60例，采用随机数字表法分成2组：标准抗肿瘤治疗组（SC组，n=30）和早期姑息治疗组（EPC组，n=30）。SC组患者接受标准抗肿瘤治疗；EPC组除接受标准抗肿瘤治疗外，还接受由肿瘤专科医师、姑息治疗护士、营养医师以及心理医师组成的多学科团队提供的综合治疗。观察并比较两组患者治疗前和治疗后6个月生活质量改善情况［肺癌患者生存质量测定量表（FACT-L）评分］、心理状况［医院焦虑和抑郁量表（HADS）以及患者健康问卷抑郁自评量表-9（PHQ-9）］、营养状况［患者主观整体营养状况评价量表（PG-SGA）］及癌性疼痛评分［疼痛数字评价量表（NRS）］。 结果： 最终共45例患者完成6个月治疗，男24例，女21例，年龄38~82（60.5±1.7）岁；EPC组23例，SC组22例。EPC组治疗后6个月FACT-L量表得分为（122.3±1.6）分，优于SC组的（111.8±2.1）分（P<0.001）。EPC组与SC组相比具有更轻的HADS 焦虑量表评分：（1.1±0.3）比（2.9±0.4）分（P<0.001），更轻的HADS 抑郁量表评分：（0.7±0.3）比（3.6±0.4）分（P<0.001）。EPC组患者无抑郁率为100.0%（23/23），优于SC组的45.5%（10/22）（P<0.001）。SC组治疗后重度营养不良率为40.9%（9/22），中度营养不良率为50.0%（11/22），无营养风险率为9.1%（2/22）；EPC组治疗后中度营养不良率为60.9%（14/23），无营养风险率升高为39.1%（9/23），差异有统计学意义（P<0.001）。两组患者NRS评分差异无统计学意义（P=0.140）。 结论： 基于WARM模型的早期跨学科姑息支持治疗可以提高NSCLC患者生活质量，改善心理状态和营养状况。.
