Comparing Three Life-Limiting Diseases:Does Diagnosis Matter or Is Sick, Sick?

At advanced stage cancer, congestive heart failure (CHF) and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) produce high rates of hospitalization, disability, and annual mortality. Although the prognosis is similar, the treatment of cancer patients is often different from those of other diseases, and the former is considered to be the terminal stage and chronic phase

The purpose of this study was to compare the functional capacity, emotional health status, and quality of life of patients in the three disease groups, to evaluate whether the diagnosis distinguishes patients' differences and to evaluate whether cancer patients and non- Patients were compared.

Baseline data from a cohort study of 210 patients with an estimated 50% 2 year mortality rate was analyzed. Patient has stage IV breast cancer, prostate cancer or colon cancer, stage IIIb or stage IV lung cancer, New York Heart Association Stage 3 or Stage 4 CHF, left ventricular ejection fraction 46) and at least for the past year I was hospitalized or visited by the emergency department. Measures include Rosow-Breslau's daily life / activities of daily living equipment, introduction of emotional state anxiety scale, epidemiological research depression scale introduction center, and cancer treatment function evaluation - general life quality instruments . Analysis includes descriptive statistics, variance analysis, and adjusted linear regression models.

According to the diagnostic category, there is no difference in the outcome of most diseases. Functional status is associated with diagnosis, patients with CHF and COPD are worse than cancer patients. Overall, disease experience is most significantly associated with disease severity, demographics, mood and social well-being.

Compared to patients with advanced cancer, CHF, and COPD, disease experience is more similar than different ones. Patients with disease-limiting diseases other than cancer can benefit from full service, usually on cancer patients

Physical factors that are part of the concept of disease and disease mainly include symptom / diagnosis (n = 23; 31%), physical limit (n = 20; 27%) or weakness (n = -14; 19 %)It is included. Participants usually mention mild symptoms such as "My condition is fever, cough, headache". This indicates that the person is sick. Others said the actual diagnosis of health professionals is because they know why they are sick. When referring to physical limitations, they usually talk about the weakness and difficulty of moving: "Looking at his face, you will know that it will be difficult for him to speak. If the conversation makes you weak, he will let you know that you will know from walking around him.

I was absent because of illness. Stress is the most absent cause of illness. Since the effect is hidden in various symptoms, it is rare that stress is given as a medical diagnosis, but absence due to illness, up to half of stress can be due to stress. Staff turnover rate pressure has a certain influence on people's flow. This indicates a defect in the workplace. When workers leave it is impossible to say that they are under pressure as they can not work in the workplace. In order to heal stress, people have to heal the workplace.

What makes us sick and what can we do to prevent or alleviate the disease? Because there is no way to cure each disease, answering this question usually depends on the individual. Furthermore, the same illness seems to show different signs at the individual level. In Flaredown, we will influence their identity as to how the lifestyle of people affects overall happiness and the positive influence of user-defined factors (foods, activities, drugs, etc.). But what happens if there are lifestyle factors that transcend individuals and illnesses? Even if it is moderately improved, are these factors ultimately panacea (all panacea)? This is our problem
