Voices of Survivorship: The Unmet Needs of Italian Cancer Survivors. A Qualitative Study.

Background: The increasing number of cancer survivors (CSs) globally highlights the critical need for healthcare systems to address their unmet needs. These needs span physical, psychosocial, spiritual, informational, and practical dimensions and, if unaddressed, can impact quality of life and healthcare satisfaction.

Aims: This study aimed to identify and understand the unmet needs of CSs in Italy to guide the development of patient-centered survivorship care services.

Prevalence and Characteristics of Idiopathic Scoliosis in Dancers: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Background: The prevalence of Idiopathic Scoliosis (IS) is 2% to 3% in the general population. The presence of a hump can be detected clinically, but only X-rays can confirm the diagnosis. Early detection and treatment can prevent IS progression and complications.

Identifying unmet needs in cancer survivorship by linking patient-reported outcome measures to the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health.

Purpose: Advances in cancer detection and treatment have extended cancer survivors' (CSs) life expectancy, but their evolving health needs remain unmet. This study analyzes 14 patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) for CSs with non-cutaneous cancers using the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) framework. These 14 PROMs are derived from a recent review focusing on the implementation of the routine assessment of unmet needs in cancer survivors.

Patient-reported outcome measure to implement routine assessment of cancer survivors' unmet needs: An overview of reviews and COSMIN analysis.

As the number of cancer survivors (CSs) is increasing worldwide, providing services relevant to the specific, unmet needs of these individuals is crucial. There are currently various patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) whose aim is to identify the unmet needs of CSs. Still, limited guidance supports healthcare providers in choosing the most valid and reliable PROMs for this purpose.

Italian version of the Cumberland Ankle Instability Tool (CAIT-I).

Study Design: Evaluation of the psychometric properties of a translated, culturally adapted questionnaire.

Objective: Translating, culturally adapting, and validating the Italian version of the Cumberland Ankle Instability Tool (CAIT-I).

Summary Of Background Data: Ankle sprains are one of the most common musculoskeletal injuries and can lead to chronic ankle instability (CAI).

The Dance Functional Outcome Survey: Cultural Adaptation and Psychometric Validation in Italian (DFOS-IT).

Objective: To translate, culturally adapt, and validate the psychometric characteristics of the Italian version of the Dance Functional Outcome Survey (DFOS-IT) in adult dancers.

Design: Clinical measurement study.

Methods: The DFOS-IT was forward translated, reconciled, backward translated, and reviewed by an expert committee to establish optimal correspondence with the original English DFOS.
