Burden of Disease and Living Situation in Desmoid Patients (PROSa Desmoid)

February 13, 2024 updated by: Technische Universität Dresden

The main aim of the study is to assess the situation and quality of life of desmoid patients. Impaired areas of quality of life and the associated factors are to be identified. The survey is planned as a cross-sectional study (patient survey).

Prevalent and incident desmoid patients will be identified at the University Hospital Mannheim and checked for eligibility. Quality of life and patient-reported data are collected by means of written questionnaires. Medical data is collected from patient files in the clinics. The aim is to include 100 patients. Descriptive analyses of the variables collected and regression models are planned as statistical analysis.
