We also assessed the acceptability and utility of nine items describing endoscopic "quality" (e.g. mortality, complication & completion rates).
No patient had premature consolidation, complex regional pain syndrome, persistent oedema or neurovascular complications on completion of treatment.
The outcome measures were the proportion of eligible women who opted to have a ToS, the VBAC success rate, peripartum complications and completion rates for the care pathways.
Complications and successful completion of treatment were also noted.
Patients' characteristics are operationalised as personal characteristics (socio-demographic information, distress, coping strategy, and health locus of control), disease characteristics (type of cancer and TNM classification), and treatment characteristics (type of treatment, treatment completion, complications, hospitalizations and complaints during treatment).
However, to decrease treatment-related complications and ensure completion of the three-cycle protocol, close observation through proper follow-up after treatment and appropriate management of adverse effects are necessary.
In the United States, colonoscopy completion and complication rates are rarely reported outside academic institutions.
Studies report more complications and lower chemotherapy completion rates in patients 65 years old or older receiving PDS.
No significant complications deriving from fistula completion were observed.
The primary outcomes of interest for the overall study included toxicities, surgical complications, treatment modifications/non-completion and disease control/progression.
Model results were robust to varying the permanent complication rates of initial or completion thyroidectomy, the efficacy of adjuvant radioiodine therapy, and the impact of complications and cancer recurrence on quality of life, irrespective of risk-group classification.
