متن کاملManagement of breakthrough pain in patients with cancer.
Breakthrough pain (BTP) in patients with cancer lacks a consensus definition and is subsequently inadequately diagnosed and assessed, therefore making it more challenging to manage. Cancer pain is generally moderate to severe in intensity and persistent in nature. Despite the problematic definition of BTP, it is generally described as having similar intensity, but may also be transitory and var...
متن کاملDevelopment and performance of a diagnostic/prognostic scoring system for breakthrough pain
OBJECTIVES Variable prevalence and treatment of breakthrough pain (BTP) in different clinical contexts are partially due to the lack of reliable/validated diagnostic tools with prognostic capability. We report the statistical basis and performance analysis of a novel BTP scoring system based on the naïve Bayes classifier (NBC) approach and an 11-item IQ-BTP validated questionnaire. This system ...
متن کاملMeaningful cut-off pain intensity for breakthrough pain changes in advanced cancer patients.
OBJECTIVES To assess the level of pain intensity at which patients feel the impetus to ask for a breakthrough cancer pain (BTcP) medication, and level of pain intensity at which patients consider they have achieved acceptable pain control after receiving a BTcP medication. METHODS A consecutive sample of patients who were receiving oral morphine equivalents equal to or more than 60 mg daily, ...
