- W4387206890 abstract "Financial distress (FD) associates with worse quality of life (QoL) and there is paucity of literature from low middle income setting (LMIC). We investigated the prevalence & impact of subjective FD on QoL & symptom burden in advanced cancer patients, reporting to a public facility.Patients aged ≥18yrs with a diagnosis of cancer within 3months and without prior treatment were accrued. Subjective FD was assessed by EORTC QLQ-C30 and symptoms were assessed by ESAS-R at baseline and 3 months. Patients were classified as experiencing FD if they answered ≥2 on a Likert scale question (1-4 points) asking about FD and dichotomized as Grp 1: No FD and Grp 2: FD. Mean change in score was calculated by subtracting the baseline from the 3-month score for each subscale, minimal important difference (MID) was defined using an anchor of ≥ 10-point compared to baseline for Global Qol and compared between groups. We used Mann Whitney, independent sample t test and Fisher's exact test for determining the association between FD and QoL and symptom burden. A p-value < 0.05 was considered statistically significant.Of the 100 patients participating in the study, 69% reported subjective financial distress at baseline, 10% had insurance coverage, 27% used distressed financing (borrowing :21%; sold off assets:6%) and debt accumulation was seen in 34% patients. Cost reduction strategies were adopted by 98% patients. Mean Global Health (GH), physical (PF), emotional function (EF) was significantly worse at all time-points in FD patients. Physical (pain, tiredness) and psychological symptom scores (anxiety, depression) were significantly higher at all time points for FD patients. Mean change score for subscales of QoL and symptom burden was not significantly different between groups from baseline to 3 months (Table1).MID for deterioration of Global Qol was Grp 1 vs 2; 21.1% vs 32.7%, p = 0.504.Two-thirds of patients have FD at presentation and report worse quality of life and symptom burden at all time-points. Presence of FD is not associated with significant change in QoL scores or symptom burden over 3 months. Measures are warranted to screen and reduce FD." @default.
