Abstract

Ovarian cancer and its treatment are associated with substantial physical and psychological burden, which may adversely affect patients’ quality of life (QoL). While nutritional status and psychological factors are both considered important determinants of QoL, their contributions in patients undergoing chemotherapy remain unclear. This study aimed to evaluate the correlation between nutritional status and anxiety level with QoL among patients with ovarian cancer undergoing chemotherapy. A cross-sectional study was conducted at Dr. Zainoel Abidin Hospital, Banda Aceh, Indonesia, in 2025. Nutritional status was assessed using body mass index (BMI) and serum albumin levels; anxiety was measured using the Zung Self-Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS); and QoL was evaluated using the EORTC QLQ-C30 questionnaire. Data were analyzed using Pearson correlation tests followed with multivariate linear regression test. A total of 101 patients with ovarian cancer undergoing chemotherapy were included in this study. Nutritional status indicators, BMI and serum albumin, were not significantly correlated with QoL across all domains, with very weak correlation coefficients (r=−0.165 to 0.097). In contrast, anxiety level demonstrated significant negative correlations with global health status (r=−0.426), physical function (r=−0.449), emotional function (r=−0.427), cognitive function (r=−0.337), and social function (r=−0.466) (all p<0.05), but not with role function. Multivariate analysis confirmed that anxiety was the only independent predictor of QoL across these domains, whereas BMI and serum albumin showed no significant association. These findings indicate that anxiety plays a more prominent role than nutritional status in determining QoL among patients with ovarian cancer undergoing chemotherapy. Routine screening and management of anxiety could be beneficial to be integrated into oncologic care to improve patient outcomes.

Abstract

Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory disease frequently associated with pelvic pain and infertility. Since systemic inflammation may reflect disease activity, hematological inflammatory biomarkers obtained from routine blood tests have been proposed as non-invasive indicators of endometriosis severity. The aim of this study was to evaluate the association of the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), systemic immune-inflammation index (SII), and monocyte-to-lymphocyte ratio (MLR) with endometriosis severity and pelvic pain severity, as well as to assess their diagnostic performance. A cross-sectional study was conducted at Dr. Zainoel Abidin Hospital, Banda Aceh, Indonesia, among women with histopathologically confirmed endometriosis. Endometriosis severity was classified intraoperatively according to the revised American Society for Reproductive Medicine (rASRM) staging system. Pelvic pain severity was assessed preoperatively using the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS). Hematological inflammatory biomarkers were calculated from preoperative complete blood count results. The associations and diagnostic performance of the biomarkers in relation to endometriosis severity and pelvic pain severity were evaluated using correlation analysis and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis. Our data indicated that NLR (r=0.460; p<0.001), SII (r=0.439; p=0.001), and MLR (r=0.391; p=0.003) had significant positive correlations with endometriosis severity, whereas PLR demonstrated a borderline correlation (r=0.261; p=0.050). ROC analysis showed good diagnostic performance for NLR (AUC=0.784; p=0.005), SII (AUC=0.777; p=0.006), and MLR (AUC=0.783; p=0.005), while PLR was not statistically significant (AUC=0.679; p=0.078). NLR (r=0.295; p=0.026) and SII (r=0.275; p=0.038) showed weak but significant positive correlations with pelvic pain severity, whereas PLR and MLR had no significant association. None of the biomarkers demonstrated significant diagnostic performance for pelvic pain severity. NLR, SII, and MLR may serve as accessible and inexpensive adjunctive indicators of endometriosis severity, particularly in resource-limited settings; however, their utility for assessing pelvic pain severity appears limited.
