Serban Talpos, Marius Pricop, Camelia Szuhanek, Robert Avramut, Nicoleta Nikolajevic-Stoican, Raluca Maracineanu, Roxana Talpos, Tareq Hajaj, Malina Popa

Summary: This study examined the impact of age and complexity of craniofacial asymmetry on quality of life and psychosocial outcomes in patients undergoing orthodontic and orthognathic correction. The results showed that craniofacial asymmetry significantly affects the quality of life and psychosocial well-being of adolescents and young adults. The findings underscore the importance of tailored interventions to address the unique psychosocial needs of adolescents at different developmental stages.

Collaborative Care in the Identification and Management of Psychosis in Adolescents and Young Adults

Liwei L. Hua

Summary: Pediatricians are often the first healthcare providers to encounter adolescents and young adults presenting with psychotic symptoms, and they play a critical role in identifying, evaluating, collaborating with specialists, and referring patients. Premature diagnosis should be avoided, and other contributing factors such as co-occurring substance abuse or trauma should be considered to optimize outcomes. This clinical report provides information on psychotic and psychotic-like symptoms in pediatric patients, as well as etiology, risk factors, and recommendations for pediatricians.

Summary: This systematic review examined 37 publications from 2000 to 2021 regarding social functioning in adolescent and young adult cancer survivors. The definition and measures of social functioning varied across studies, as did the factors associated with it. Factors commonly linked to decreased social functioning included treatment status, physical functioning, depression, negative body image, social comparisons, and cancer-related stigma, while social support and quality of care were associated with increased social functioning.

Summary: Female adolescents and young adults with breast, hematological, thyroid and melanoma cancer have a higher risk of subsequent infertility diagnosis compared to AYAs without cancer. Reproductive health surveillance in female AYAs with cancer, especially those with breast cancer, leukemia and lymphoma, is important for optimizing the quality of life among cancer survivors. Further studies are needed to investigate the potential effects of thyroid cancer and melanoma on infertility, and to understand possible mechanisms.

Summary: This study aims to identify AYA sarcoma survivors with impaired social functioning (ISF) and determine the clinical and psychosocial factors associated with ISF. The study found that more than one-quarter of AYA sarcoma survivors experience ISF long after diagnosis. Unemployment and having to make lifestyle changes due to financial problems caused by physical conditions or medical treatment were associated with ISF, while better social support was associated with non-ISF. These results emphasize the importance of follow-up care that focuses not only on the disease but also on the psychological and social domains.

The patient's perspective on side effects of tyrosine kinase inhibitors in the treatment of advanced and metastatic gastrointestinal stromal tumors

Summary: The aim of this study was to explore the side effects of tyrosine kinase inhibitors on gastrointestinal stromal tumor patients from the patient's perspective, and compare it with the perspective of healthcare professionals. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 19 advanced or metastatic gastrointestinal stromal tumor patients, and a focus group was held with five patients and six healthcare professionals. Thematic analysis revealed that most participants reported gastrointestinal symptoms, tiredness, edema, muscle cramps, skin problems, eye problems, and trouble sleeping. Patients, but not healthcare professionals, reported cognitive problems or symptoms of depression. These findings highlight the importance of including the patient's perspective in symptom reporting.

Summary: This study explored the long-term income patterns and determinants among adolescent and young adult (AYA) cancer survivors, and compared them with their peers. It was found that, on average, AYA cancer survivors experience an 8.5% decrease in annual earnings compared to the control group. Younger age, marriage, female gender, diagnosis of stage IV disease, and central nervous system cancer were associated with the largest decline in income.

Health-related quality of life of children with neurofibromatosis type 1: Analysis of proxy-rated PedsQL and CHQ questionnaires

Britt A. E. Dhaenens, Andre Rietman, Olga Husson, Rianne Oostenbrink

Summary: This study aims to investigate the health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in children with Neurofibromatosis Type 1 (NF1) using two questionnaires, the Pediatric Quality of Life inventory (PedsQL) and the Child Health Questionnaire (CHQ), and compare their psychometric properties and content. The results showed that proxy-reported HRQoL of children with NF1 is significantly lower compared to norms on multiple domains. The PedsQL demonstrated slightly better feasibility and reliability, while the CHQ captured a unique dimension of HRQoL associated with disease impact on parents and family.

Recommendations on the use of item libraries for patient- reported outcome measurement in oncology trials: findings from an international, multidisciplinary working group

Claire Piccinin, Ethan Basch, Vishal Bhatnagar, Melanie Calvert, Alicyn Campbell, David Cella, Charles S. Cleeland, Corneel Coens, Anne -Sophie Darlington, Amylou C. Dueck, Mogens Groenvold, Ralf Herold, Bellinda L. King-Kallimanis, Paul G. Kluetz, Dagmara Kulis, Daniel O'Connor, Kathy Oliver, Madeline Pe, Bryce B. Reeve, Jaap C. Reijneveld, Xin Shelley Wang, Andrew Bottomley

Summary: The use of item libraries in oncology trials allows for customised patient-reported outcome (PRO) measurement that aligns with the needs of the target population and intervention. However, there is a lack of guidance on how to design and implement these customised PRO measures across different measurement systems. To address this gap, an international working group was formed to develop recommendations for the use of item libraries in oncology trials. The resulting recommendations provide guidance on item selection, structure and analysis of item lists, and their integration with other measures.
