Abstract

Objective To investigate the influencing factors of preoperative quality of life in patients with oral cancer. Methods 187 patients with oral cancer who were admitted to our hospital from November 2018 to October 2019 were selected as the subjects of this study. Each person sent a copy of the European Cancer Survey and Treatment Organization Quality of Life Survey before admission to surgery Table (EQRTC QLQ-C30), European Cancer Survey and Treatment Organization Head and Neck Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire (EORTC QLQ-H & N35), Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HAD) scoring rules and criteria for questionnaires for patients Survey, data statistics and inductive analysis of the questionnaire results withdrawn. Results Age, tumor stage, and gender were the influencing factors of preoperative quality of life in patients with oral cancer. Among them, tumor stage was the most important influencing factor of preoperative quality of life. Tumor stage and diseased location have a great influence on the preoperative quality of life and psychological status of patients with oral cancer. Conclusion There are many factors that affect the quality of life of patients with oral cancer before surgery, including age, tumor stage, tumor location, gender, etc. It is necessary to identify patients with low quality of life and poor mental status earlier through a friendly questionnaire survey, Take effective interventions to enable patients to more actively face treatment, thereby improving patient prognosis.
