The impact of outpatient vs inpatient management on health-related quality of life outcomes for patients with malignant pleural effusion - the OPTIMUM randomized clinical trial.
Abstract
Of participants randomly assigned to IPC (n=70) and chest drain (n=72), primary outcome data were available in 58 and 56 patients, respectively. Global health status improved in both groups at day 30 compared to baseline: IPC (mean difference 13.11 p=0.001) and chest drain (mean difference 10.11 p=0.001). However, there was no significant between-group difference at day 30 (mean inter-group difference in baseline-adjusted global health status of 2.06 ([95% CI -5.86 to 9.99]; p=0.61), day 60 or day 90. No significant differences were identified between groups in breathlessness and chest pain scores. All chest drain arm patients were admitted (median length of stay 4 days); 7 in the IPC arm required intervention-related hospitalization.
