Results
Among those 100 patients, 84 were male and 16 female with average age of 67.23
years (SD 9,24). 22 of them suffered from SCLC carcinoma and 78 from NSCLC (33
from squamous carcinoma whereas 45 of them were diagnosed with adenocarcinoma).
The most common reason for hospitalization was respiratory infection (33%).
Other reasons were hemoptysis (12%), pleural effusion (10%) and chemotherapy
complications such as febrile neutropenia (13%), anemia (7%), acute renal
failure (7%), hyponatremia (4%), diarrhea (2%), vomiting (2%) and upper
digestive bleeding (1%).
The average duration of surveillance in hospital was 8,17 days (SD: 4,8). In
particular the presence of pleural effusion is significantly related to a
prolonged length of stay in hospital (13,2 Days SD: 6, p 10,001) as well as the
presence of cardiovascular events (15,67 days, SD: 4,04 p 10,008). Finally 18
patients died, 8 of them diagnosed with SCLC.
Conclusion
Lung cancer patients face a variety of problems during their course or their
disease which often lead to their hospitalization. The reasons for
hospitalization may be the difficulty in dealing with symptoms of the disease
itself for or its metastases, the deterioration of already existing diseases or
finally the complications of antineoplasmatic therapy
