Abstract
Introduction

The objective of the study was to establish a possible relationship between mitomycin-C (MMC) and bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) treatments and quality of life impairment.

Material and Methods

Quasi-experimental, prospective, and longitudinal study including patients undergoing adjuvant treatment in NMIBC. The Short form-12 (SF-12) and Urogenital Distress Inventory-6 (UDI-6) questionnaires were used to measure quality of life. Questionnaire scores were compared between cases with MMC and BCG before induction (M1), at 4 weeks (M2) and at 2 months (M3).

Results

Of the 90 patients enrolled, 54 were in the BCG group and 36 in the MMC group. It was found that BCG patients had worse perceived physical quality of life compared to MMC patients in M2 (OR:2.59, p=0.046). In addition, significant changes were found in the urinary quality of life of patients on MMC treatment between the different time points (UDI-6 score: 33.33 in M1, 27.78 in M2 and 16.67 in M3, p=0.001).

Conclusions

There are no differences in urinary quality of life between patients treated with MMC and BCG. Patients with MMC show a significant recovery of urinary quality of life from the completion of the induction course, which becomes even more significant after 2 months. In addition, BCG-treated patients have worse physical quality of life after 4 weeks of treatment than those treated with MMC.

Resumen

Material y métodos

Estudio cuasiexperimental, prospectivo y longitudinal, recogiendo pacientes sometidos a tratamiento adyuvante en TVNMI. Se utilizaron los cuestionarios Short form-12 (SF-12) y Urogenital Distress Inventory-6 (UDI-6) para medir la calidad de vida. Se compararon las puntuaciones de los cuestionarios entre casos con MMC y BCG antes de iniciar la inducción (M1), a las 4 semanas (M2) y a los dos meses (M3).

Resultados

Se recogieron 90 pacientes, 54 en el grupo de BCG y 36 en el de MMC. Se comprobó que los pacientes con BCG percibían peor calidad de vida física comparados con los de MMC en M2 (OR: 2,59, p = 0,046). Además, se hallaron cambios significativos en la calidad de vida urinaria de los pacientes en tratamiento con MMC entre los diferentes momentos temporales (puntuación del UDI-6: 33,33 en M1, 27,78 en M2 y 16,67 en M3, p=0,001)

Conclusiones

No existen diferencias en la calidad de vida urinaria entre los pacientes tratados con MMC y BCG. Los pacientes con MMC muestran una recuperación significativa de la calidad de vida urinaria a partir de la finalización de la inducción, que aumenta aún más a los dos meses de la misma. Además, los pacientes tratados con BCG presentan peor calidad de vida física a las 4 semanas de tratamiento que aquellos tratados con MMC.
