Clinical anxiety disorders in the context of cancer: A scoping review of impact on resource use and healthcare costs

European Journal of Cancer Care
Joanne ShawMelanie A Price

Abstract

Prevalence of clinical anxiety among patients with cancer is higher than the general population. Clinical anxiety in people with other medical conditions is associated with greater healthcare resource use and costs. This scoping review describes the evidence relating to costs associated with clinical anxiety in cancer populations. We conducted searches of online databases Medline, Embase, Cinahl, National Health Service Economic Evaluation Database (NHS-EED) and Cochrane Library of systematic reviews to identify studies published between 2006 and 2017 that included healthcare cost in terms of monetary or health service utilisation variables. Of 411 records screened, six studies met inclusion criteria. Only one study used formal diagnostic criteria to identify clinical anxiety. The healthcare system perspective was most common, with direct costs such as medications, hospital visits, type of therapy and use of mental health services reported. All studies found anxiety was related to increased costs/resource use; however, methodological differences mean specific costs and potential impact of interventions on resource use remain relatively unquantified. Despite the prevalence of clinical anxiety, there is little data on the economi...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
