Functional Trajectories and Resilience Among Adults With Advanced Lung Cancer.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

To evaluate whether and the degree to which patients with advanced NSCLC (aNSCLC) receiving lung cancer treatments will experience functional disability or have resilience and to identify characteristics associated with functional disability.

Methods

We evaluated longitudinal data of patients with aNSCLC receiving treatment in the Beating Lung Cancer in Ohio prospective cohort study. Disability versus resilience in functional status (usual activities, mobility, and self-care) was measured monthly for 8 months using the EuroQol-5D-5L. Data captured included baseline demographics (Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status), comorbidities, cancer and depressive symptoms (Patient Health Questionnaire-9), anxiety (Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 scale), an
