Therefore, there is increasing demand in clinical practice to lower DEX doses in subsequent emetogenic treatment cycles. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of the DEX-sparing antiemetic regimens in high- and moderate- emetogenic chemotherapy (HEC, MEC respectively) and to explore its functional impact on health-related Quality of Life (QoL).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Materials and methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This is a prospective, observational study that includes 91 patients who received HEC and MEC with DEX. We evaluated the percentage of complete response and complete control of CINV in acute phases (&lt;24\u2005h) and delayed phases (25\u2013120\u2005h). The Functional Living Index-Emesis (FLIE), a 5-day recall tool, was used to evaluate the functional impact of DEX-sparing regimens on health-related QoL. Nausea and vomiting were graded using the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 5.0.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Statistical analysis<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The SPSS version 20.0 was used for the statistical analysis.

In the CTCAE version 5.0 analyses, only 1.1% of cases were reported with a Grade 3, and none with a Grade 4 or Grade 5. The FLIE score was above 54 in each domain, indicating no impact of CINV on daily life.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The use of DEX-sparing antiemetic regimens in clinical settings, which can be better tolerated by patients, is made clear by this study.
