ABSTRACT:

Introduction: Extremity soft tissue and bone sarcomas are a rare heterogeneous group of bone and connective tissue tumors. Their growth behavior and the biological grade of malignancy differ markedly between the histological subtypes. Aims and objectives: The main objective of the study is to analyze the effects of attitude towards disease on quality of life in patients with bone tumors in Pakistan. Methodology of the study: This study was conducted in Islamic International Medical College Rawalpindi (RIU) during September 2018. This study was done for the analysis of quality of life of bone tumor patients in Pakistan. The data were collected through a prepared questionnaire. Participants were given a toll-free number for technical support and to ask any questions regarding the study. All participants provided written consent upon arrival for their physician appointments. Results: The data were collected from 100 patients of both genders. To develop the propensity score model, we used a multinomial logistic regression of the nominal three-category quality of life variable. The age, SF-12, education, sex, and race terms were entered into the model using restricted cubic splines for age, SF-12 PCS, and SF-12 MCS and interactions of sex with age and education. Conclusion: It is concluded that patients with less cancer-related distress were more likely to favor quality of life over length of life. The direction of causation in this relationship cannot be inferred from these data.
