A study was performed to evaluate patients after a similar operation both in terms of physical function and health-related quality of life (HRQL). <i>Methods:<\/i> Eighteen patients were evaluated 2 years after a thoracoabdominal resection. Respiratory function, physical performance and range of motion in shoulder, thorax and spine were recorded. HQRL was assessed by EORTC QLQ-C30 (European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire Core 30) and EORTC QLQ-OES18 (Oeophageal module). <i>Results:<\/i> Two years after surgery, respiratory function (forced vital capacity and forced expiratory volume in 1 s) was significantly impaired compared to preoperative values (p < 0.05). The physical performance was significantly reduced as measured by a functional stand-up test (p < 0.05) and the handgrip force (p < 0.001). Shoulder range of motion, thoracic lateral flexion and C7 to wall were within normal ranges, thoracic flexion significantly greater (p < 0.01) but chest expansion significantly decreased (p < 0.01) compared to controls. HQRL was comparable to age- and sex-matched population norms for most of the functions. A clinical significant difference was, however, found for diarrhoea, dyspnoea, appetite loss and fatigue. <i>Conclusion:<\/i> Within a 2-year period, each individual regains most of the respiratory and physical performances and HRQL after a thoracoabdominal resection.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1159\/000085348","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2005,4,18]],"date-time":"2005-04-18T08:42:47Z","timestamp":1113813767000},"page":"63-68","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":19,"title":["Physical Function and Quality of Life after Thoracoabdominal Oesophageal Resection"],"prefix":"10.1159","volume":"22","author":[{"given":"Monika","family":"Fagevik Ols\u00e9n","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Malin","family":"Larsson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Eva","family":"Hammerlid","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Lars","family":"Lundell","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"127","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2005,5,11]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136%2Fgut.35.7.941"},{"key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1046%2Fj.1365-2168.2002.02207.x"},{"key":"ref3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002%2Fbjs.1800661119"},{"key":"ref4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1055%2Fs-2007-1013141"},{"key":"ref5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3109%2F03009749309095105"},{"key":"ref6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3109%2F03009749209095061"},{"key":"ref7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136%2Fard.31.1.1"},{"key":"ref8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093%2Fjnci%2F85.5.365"},{"key":"ref9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016%2F0959-8049%2896%2900199-2"},{"key":"ref10","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080%2F028418600750013384"},{"key":"ref11","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080%2F028418600750013384"},{"key":"ref12","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007%2FBF00434747"},{"key":"ref13","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007%2FPL00012265"},{"key":"ref14","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016%2FS0003-4975%2897%2900125-2"},{"key":"ref15","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016%2F0003-4975%2892%2990332-X"},{"key":"ref16","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1055%2Fs-2007-1013674"},{"key":"ref17","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1046%2Fj.1365-2168.2000.01600.x"},{"key":"ref18","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016%2FS0277-9536%2899%2900045-3"},{"key":"ref19","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016%2F0277-9536%2892%2990161-I"},{"key":"ref20","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002%2Fbjs.1800820916"},{"key":"ref21","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002%2Fbjs.4508"},{"key":"ref22","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016%2FS0959-8049%2803%2900270-3"}],"container-title":["Digestive Surgery"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/www.karger.com\/Article\/Pdf\/85348","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/www.karger.com\/Article\/Pdf\/85348","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,24]],"date-time":"2025-04-24T03:50:23Z","timestamp":1745466623000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/karger.com\/article\/doi\/10.1159\/000085348"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2005]]},"references-count":22,"journal-issue":{"issue":"1-2","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2005,5,1]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1159\/000085348","archive":["Portico"],"relation":{},"ISSN":["0253-4886","1421-9883"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0253-4886","type":"print"},{"value":"1421-9883","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2005]]}}}
