Oncology inpatients may need prioritized supportive care; this Level 5 comparison leaves open causality and intervention effects.
Fazio et al. (2016) conducted a cross-sectional in Hospitalized patients (oncological and non-oncological) (n=360). Oncological status vs. Non-oncological status was evaluated on Physical component summary (PCS) of 12-item Short-form Survey and GHQ total score (p=<0.000). Oncological patients had significantly lower physical component summary scores (p < 0.000) and higher General Health Questionnaire total scores compared to non-oncological hospitalized patients.
