Health-related quality of life and associated factors among cancer patients in Ethiopia: Systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Cancer is the main cause of morbidity and mortality in every part of the world, regardless of human development. Cancer patients exhibit a wide range of signs and symptoms. Being diagnosed with cancer has a variety of consequences that can affect one's quality of life. The term "health-related quality of life" refers to a multidimensional concept that encompasses a person's whole health. The availability of data on the prevalence of poor quality of life among cancer patients in Ethiopia is critical in order to focus on early detection and enhance cancer treatment strategies. In Ethiopia, however, there is a scarcity of information. As a result, the aim of this study was to determine the pooled estimated prevalence of quality of life among cancer patients in Ethiopia.
