It remains, however, uncertain whether subgroups benefit equally from rehabilitation. We wished to investigate the outcomes of multimodal rehabilitation according to age, sex and functioning. Patients of an Austrian rehabilitation center routinely completed the EORTC QLQ-C30 and the hospital anxiety and depression scale (HADS) questionnaires prior to (T1), and after rehabilitation (T2). To compare the outcomes between age groups (i.e., &lt;40, 41\u201369, and \u226570 years), sex, and the Norton scale risk status, repeated measures of analyses of variance were calculated. A total of 5567 patients with an average age of 60.7 years were included, of which 62.7% were female. With T1 indicating the cancer survivors\u2019 needs, older and high-risk patients reported lower functioning (all p &lt; 0.001) and a higher symptom burden for most scales (all p &lt; 0.05) before rehabilitation. Regardless of age, sex or risk status, the patients showed at a least small to medium improvement during rehabilitation for anxiety, depression, and most functioning and symptom scales. Some between-group differences were observed, none of which being of a relevant effect size as determined with the Cohen\u2019s d. In conclusion, QOL is improved by rehabilitation in all patients groups, independently from age, sex, or the risk status.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/cancers15061637","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,3,7]],"date-time":"2023-03-07T03:11:39Z","timestamp":1678158699000},"page":"1637","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Associations of Age and Sex with the Efficacy of Inpatient Cancer Rehabilitation: Results from a Longitudinal Observational Study Using Electronic Patient-Reported Outcomes"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4670-7517","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jens","family":"Lehmann","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychiatry, Psychotherapy, Psychosomatics and Medical Psychology, University Hospital of Psychiatry II, Medical University of Innsbruck, 6020 Innsbruck, Austria"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"David","family":"Riedl","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychiatry, Psychotherapy, Psychosomatics and Medical Psychology, University Hospital of Psychiatry II, Medical University of Innsbruck, 6020 Innsbruck, Austria"},{"name":"Ludwig-Boltzmann Institute for Rehabilitation Research, 1100 Vienna, Austria"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Alain","family":"Nickels","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Oncological Rehabilitation Center, 5621 St. Veit im Pongau, Austria"},{"name":"Paracelsus Medical University, 5020 Salzburg, Austria"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Gabriele","family":"Sanio","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Oncological Rehabilitation Center, 5621 St. Veit im Pongau, Austria"},{"name":"Paracelsus Medical University, 5020 Salzburg, Austria"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Marco","family":"Hassler","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Oncological Rehabilitation Center Sonnberghof, 7202 Bad Sauerbrunn, Austria"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Gerhard","family":"Rumpold","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychiatry, Psychotherapy, Psychosomatics and Medical Psychology, University Hospital of Psychiatry II, Medical University of Innsbruck, 6020 Innsbruck, Austria"},{"name":"Evaluation Software Development (ESD), 6020 Innsbruck, Austria"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Bernhard","family":"Holzner","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Evaluation Software Development (ESD), 6020 Innsbruck, Austria"},{"name":"Department of Psychiatry, Psychotherapy, Psychosomatics and Medical Psychology, University Hospital of Psychiatry I, Medical University of Innsbruck, 6020 Innsbruck, Austria"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1846-0331","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Thomas","family":"Licht","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Ludwig-Boltzmann Institute for Rehabilitation Research, 1100 Vienna, Austria"},{"name":"Oncological Rehabilitation Center, 5621 St. Veit im Pongau, Austria"},{"name":"Paracelsus Medical University, 5020 Salzburg, Austria"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,3,7]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"23","DOI":"10.1016\/S1470-2045(13)70546-1","article-title":"Cancer Survival in Europe 1999-2007 by Country and Age: Results of EUROCARE--5-a Population-Based Study","volume":"15","author":"Sant","year":"2014","journal-title":"Lancet Oncol."},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"7","DOI":"10.3322\/caac.21654","article-title":"Cancer Statistics, 2021","volume":"71","author":"Siegel","year":"2021","journal-title":"CA Cancer J.
