226 advanced breast cancer
|
LASA scores for physical well-being + mood, pain, and appetite (as QOL index)
|
Changes in QOL scores were independent prognostic of survival.

Coates et al. [46]
|
1992
|
226 advanced breast cancer
|
LASA scores for physical well-being + mood, nausea, vomiting, and appetite (as QOL index)
|
Both QOL index and physical well-being were independent prognostic factors of survival.

|
Fraser et al. [47]
|
1993
|
60 advanced breast cancer
|
DDC + LASA + NHP
|
The DDC provided accurate prognostic data regarding subsequent response and survival.

Seidman et al. [48]
|
1995
|
40 advanced breast cancer
|
MSAS + MSAS-GDI + FLI-C + RMHI + BPI + MPAC
|
Baseline global QOL and distress index scores independently predicted the overall survival.

|
Tross et al. [49]
|
1996
|
280 early stage breast cancer
|
SCL-90-R
|
No significant predictive effect of the level of depression on length of disease-free and overall survival observed.

|
Watson et al. [50]
|
1999
|
578 early stage breast cancer
|
MAC + CECS + HADS
|
Depression score of the HADS and helplessness and hopelessness category of the MAC had determinant effect on survival.
|
|
Coats et al. [51]
|
2000
|
227 metastatic and early stage breast cancer
|
Physical well-being + mood, appetite, and coping (as QOL index)
|
Disease-free survival was not significantly predicted by QOL scores at baseline or by changes in QOL scores. After relapse QOL scores were predictive for subsequent survival.
|
|
Kramer et al. [52]
|
2000
|
187 advanced breast cancer
|
EORTC QLQ-C30
|
Pain was prognostic for survival. However, fatigue and emotional functioning were significant in backward selection model.
|
|
Shimozuma et al. [53]
|
2000
|
47 advanced or end stage breast cancer
|
QOL-ACD
|
Physical aspects of QOL were significantly related to survival. The change in scores of both overall QOL and the physical aspects of QOL were also significant predictors of survival.
|
|
Butow et al. [54]
|
2000
|
99 metastatic breast cancer
|
Cognitive appraisal of threat + coping + psychological adjustment + perceived aim of treatment + social support + QOL
|
Minimization was associated with longer survival while a better appetite predicted shorter duration of survival.
|
|
Luoma et al. [55]
|
2003
|
279 advanced breast cancer
|
EORTC QLQ-C30
|
Baseline severe pain was predictive for a shorter overall survival. QOL scores had no great importance in predicting primary clinical endpoints such as time to progression or overall survival.
|
|
Winer et al. [56]
|
2004
|
474 metastatic breast cancer
|
FLI-C + SDS
|
Global QOL and symptom distress scores were prognostic for survival.
|
|
Efficace et al. [57]
|
2004
|
448 nonmetastatic breast cancer
|
EORTC QLQ-C30
|
Baseline QOL had no prognostic value in nonmetastatic breast cancer.
|
|
Efficace et al. [58]
|
2004
|
275 matastatic breast cancer
|
EORTC QLQ-C30 + QLQ-BR23
|
Loss of appetite was a significant prognostic factor for survival.
|
|
Goodwin et al. [59]
|
2004
|
397 early stage breast cancer
|
EORTC QLQ-C30 + POMS + PAIS + IES + MACS +ACS + CECS
|
QOL and psychological status at diagnosis and 1 year later were not associated with medical outcome.
|
|
Watson et al. [60]
|
2005
|
578 early stage breast cancer
|
MAC + HADS
|
Helplessness/hopelessness was a significant predictor of disease-free survival but depression was not.
|
|
Lehto et al. [61]
|
2006
|
72 localized breast cancer
|
Coping + emotional expression + perceived support + life stresses + QOL
|
Longer survival was predicted by a minimizing-related coping while shorter survival was predicted by anti-emotionality, escape coping, and high level of perceived support.
