Popis: | Introduction: Cancer-related fatigue is well described. Fatigue in patients with a malignant pleural effusion (MPE) has not been directly studied. Methods: A prospective observational cohort pilot study ‘Do Interventions for Malignant Pleural Effusions (MPE) impact on patient reported fatigue levels (IMPE-F study)’ is planned to determine whether pleural interventions reduce fatigue in MPE. Fatigue will be assessed with a validated patient reported outcome measure, FACIT-F. Discussion: MPE-F has funding from Rocket Medical Plc, and is part of a Masters in Clinical Research at Newcastle University. Respondent fatigue will be addressed by the investigators going through the questionnaire with the participants. Inclusion criteria are all patients above 18 years of age with a presumed MPE undergoing a procedure and able to consent. The expected number of participants is 50. Trial registration: The IMPE-F study has Research Ethics Committee (REC) [20/YH/0224] and Health Research Authority (HRA) and Health and Care Research Wales (HCRW) approvals [IRAS project ID: 276451]. The study has been adopted on National Institute for Health Research portfolio [CPMS ID 46430]. |
