- Detailed Description
Objective
The cross-sectional study aims to describe the burden of late effects and survivorship-specific health-related quality of life in a nationwide cohort of patients treated with allo-HSCT in Denmark. Further, identify demographic, medical or personal factors associated with better self-reported health and quality of life.
Method
An observational, descriptive, cross-sectional study using clinical data and self-reported questionnaires to assess the occurrence of comorbidities and self-reported late effects in survivors treated with allo-HSCT in Denmark between 1970 and 2024.
Study population
All survivors treated for malignant or non-malignant hematological disease with allo-HCST at the age of 18-79 years from 1970-2024 in Denmark are eligible (n=1.436).
Endpoints
* Self-reported survivorship specific HRQoL measured by EORTC-QOL- Survivorship 100.
* Degree of health literacy measured by the Health Literacy Questionnaire (HLQ).
* Occurrence or degree of Chronic Graft Versus Host Disease measured by modified Lee Chronic Graft versus host disease Symptom Scale.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method EORTC Quality of Life Survivorship Core questionnaire (EORTC-QOL-SURV100) may 2024 - August 2024 The QLQ-SURV100 is based on the EORTC Quality of Life core questionnaire (QLQ-C30). Applicable to disease-free cancer survivors. It consists of 100 questions divided over thirteen functional scales (i.e. Physical; Role ; Emotional; and Cognitive functioning; Body image; Symptom awareness; Positive health behavior change; Positive life outlook; Positive impact on behavior towards others; Positive social functioning; Work; Sexual functioning; Global health status), nine symptom scales (i.e. Social isolation; Fatigue; Pain; Sleep problems; Health distress; Negative health outlook; Social interference; Sexual problems), one Symptom checklist assessing chronic side effects of cancer treatments, and twelve single items.
Score from 0 to 100. A high score for a functional scale represents a high/healthy level of functioning, a high score for the global health status/QL represents a high QL, but a high score for a symptom item represents a high level of symptomatology.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Modified 7-day Lee Chronic-versus-Host Disease Symptom Scale may 2024 - august 2024 The Modified 7-day Lee Chronic-versus-Host Disease Symptom Scale is a validated questionnaire to measure degree of Graft Versus Host disease. The scale contains 28 items grouped in 7 subscales (skin, eye, mouth, lung, nutrition, energy, and psychological). Patients report how "bothered" they feel about each symptom over the previous 7 days using a five-point Likert scale from "not at all" to "extremely". Score range from 0 to 100, with a higher score indicating worse symptoms
Health literacy Questionnaire (HLQ) may 2024 - august 2024 The HLQ consists of 9 scales representing 9 dimensions of health literacy. Each HLQ scale has 4-6 items. The HLQ does not provide one overall summative score. The 9 scale scores will reflect a person's strengths and needs in the different dimensions of health literacy.Higher score reflect a higher degree of health literacy.
