PG - 15347354211043508 LID - 10.1177/15347354211043508 [doi] LID - 15347354211043508 AB - PURPOSE: Health utility, which is a measure of patient-reported outcome (PRO), has recently been used in health-related quality of life for patients with various cancers. However, the relationship between health utility and the physical function and of patients undergoing pleurectomy/decortication (P/D) as surgical treatment for malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) has not been reported in the perioperative and convalescent phases. This study aimed to evaluate the perioperative and postoperative health utility of patients undergoing P/D for MPM at one year postoperatively and to examine the relationship with physical function. METHODS: We included patients underwent P/D. Grip strength, knee extension strength, 6-minute walk distance (6MWD), forced vital capacity (FVC), and forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) were measured to assess physical function, and the Short-Form Six-Dimension (SF-6D) was completed to assess health utility. These assessments were performed preoperatively, postoperatively, and one year postoperatively. Statistical analysis was performed using one-way analysis of variance for comparison of pre and postoperative and one year mean values. RESULTS: There were 24 subjects (23 males, 65.5+/-8.3 year). SF-6D, 6MWD, FVC, and FEV1 values one year operatively improved significantly compared with postoperative. Additionally, SF-6D was correlated with 6MWD. CONCLUSION: Health utility were also correlated with exercise capacity.
