措施说明 |
大体时间 |
|---|---|---|
|
Onset Time of Severe Radiation-Induced Oral Mucositis
大体时间:From the start of radiotherapy to 4 weeks after completion of radiotherapy
|
The interval from the start of radiotherapy to the first occurrence of severe radiation-induced oral mucositis (RIOM).
Severe RIOM is defined as Grade ≥3 according to the Radiation Therapy Oncology Group (RTOG) acute RIOM grading scale.
|
From the start of radiotherapy to 4 weeks after completion of radiotherapy
|
|
Duration of Severe Radiation-Induced Oral Mucositis
大体时间:From the start of radiotherapy to 4 weeks after completion of radiotherapy.
|
The interval from the first occurrence of severe acute radiation-induced oral mucositis (RIOM) to its resolution to Grade ≤2, as assessed according to the Radiation Therapy Oncology Group (RTOG) acute RIOM grading scale.
Severe RIOM is defined as Grade ≥3 on the RTOG acute RIOM grading scale.
|
From the start of radiotherapy to 4 weeks after completion of radiotherapy.
|
|
Recovery Rate of Severe Radiation-Induced Oral Mucositis
大体时间:From the start of radiotherapy to 4 weeks after completion of radiotherapy
|
The proportion of patients whose severe acute radiation-induced oral mucositis (RIOM) resolves to Grade ≤2 during the overall observation period, as assessed according to the Radiation Therapy Oncology Group (RTOG) acute RIOM grading scale.
Severe RIOM is defined as Grade ≥3 on the RTOG acute RIOM grading scale.
|
From the start of radiotherapy to 4 weeks after completion of radiotherapy
|
|
Incidence of Radiation-Induced Oral Mucositis
大体时间:From the start of radiotherapy to 4 weeks after completion of radiotherapy
|
The proportion of patients who develop any-grade acute radiation-induced oral mucositis (RIOM) (Grade ≥1) during the overall observation period, as assessed according to the Radiation Therapy Oncology Group (RTOG) acute RIOM grading scale.
|
From the start of radiotherapy to 4 weeks after completion of radiotherapy
|
|
Incidence of Radiotherapy Interruption
大体时间:From the start of radiotherapy through completion of radiotherapy, an average of 7 weeks.
|
The proportion of patients who experience a radiotherapy interruption of 5 or more consecutive days during the radiotherapy period due to acute radiation-induced oral mucositis (RIOM) or other related adverse events.
|
From the start of radiotherapy through completion of radiotherapy, an average of 7 weeks.
|
|
Quality of life (QoL)
大体时间:From the start of radiotherapy to 4 weeks after completion of radiotherapy
|
Quality of life related to head and neck symptoms will be assessed using the European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire-Head and Neck Module (EORTC QLQ-H&N35), version 1.0.
This questionnaire comprises 35 items, including seven multi-item scales and 11 single-item measures.
All scales and items will be scored according to the official EORTC Scoring Manual and linearly transformed to a 0 to 100 scale, with higher scores indicating greater symptom burden and poorer quality of life.
|
From the start of radiotherapy to 4 weeks after completion of radiotherapy
|
|
Numeric Rating Scale for Pain
大体时间:From the start of radiotherapy to 4 weeks after completion of radiotherapy
|
Oral mucositis-related pain was assessed in all participants using the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS), an 11-point scale ranging from 0 to 10, where 0 indicates no pain and 10 indicates the worst pain imaginable.
Higher scores indicate worse pain.
|
From the start of radiotherapy to 4 weeks after completion of radiotherapy
|
|
