摘要

Financial toxicity has been associated with several clinical outcomes such as early mortality and poor quality of life. The aim of this study was to evaluate the magnitude of financial toxicity among radiation oncology patients and its association with health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in Indian health care settings.This cross-sectional study was conducted among patients with cancer who had completed radiation therapy, either standalone or as part of a multimodal treatment. Financial toxicity and HRQOL were assessed using the Comprehensive Score for Financial Toxicity (COST) and Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy: General (FACT-G) measures, respectively. Associations between financial toxicity and HRQOL were assessed using Pearson correlation. Univariate and multivariate regression analyses were conducted to identify the factors associated with financial toxicity.A total of 350 patients were included in this study. Of the 350 participants, 57.7% were male, 95.7% had no health insurance, and 61% were diagnosed with Head & Neck cancers. The average COST score was 15.38 ± 9.18 (range, 2-35), and the average FACT-G score was 69.63 ± 12.25 (range, 33-99). Based on the total COST score, 7.4% of participants reported grade 3 and 44.9% reported grade 2 financial toxicity. A significant positive correlation was observed between the COST and FACT-G scores, with a correlation coefficient of 0.58 (P < .001), indicating a large effect size. The COST score also significantly predicted the FACT-G score (β = 0.77; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.66-0.88; P < .001). The results of multivariate linear regression identified annual household income (β = 3.9; 95% CI, 3.29-4.57; P < .001) and cancer type (β = 3.74; 95% CI, 2.33-5.14; P < .001) as significant predictors of the COST score.More than 80% of the participants experienced financial toxicity in this study. The results highlight the need for interventions to alleviate the growing financial toxicity among cancer survivors in India.
