Brief Summary

The purpose of this research is to objectively assess activity behaviours (i.e., physical activity and sedentary behaviour) in patients with malignant pleural effusion. First, we aim to describe the physical activity and sedentary behavior of patients with MPE in Hong Kong. Secondarily, we aim to assess the relationships between activity behaviours and survival, quality of life, and respiratory symptoms e.g. shortness of breath.

Conditions

Malignant Pleural Effusion

Keywords

Activity behaviors; Malignant pleural effusion

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (4)

• Activity Behaviours (vertical axis movement counts per min)

  Recorded objectively by a triaxial accelerometer (ActiGraph GT3X+ Pensacola, FL, USA).

  7 days

• Quality of life (in mm)

  Assessed by a 100 mm visual analogue scale with "the best imaginable health state" at 0 mm and "the worst imaginable health state" at 100 mm

  7 days

• Respiratory symptoms (in mm)

  Assessed by a 100 mm visual analogue scale with "no breathlessness" at 0 mm and "worst breathlessness imaginable" at 100 mm.

  7 days

• Survival (in number of days)

  Recorded from date of Actigraph initialization to death or 12-month, whichever comes first

  12 months

Interventions

ActiGraph DEVICE

Activity behaviours will be objectively assessed by 7-day triaxial accelerometer assessment (ActiGraph GT3X+ Pensacola, FL, USA). Participants will be asked to wear an accelerometer around their waist, 24 hours a day for 7 days.

Eligibility Criteria

• Age: 18 Years+
• Sex: all
• Healthy Volunteers: No
• Age Groups: Adult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)
• Sampling Method: Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

Patients with an MPE

You may qualify if:

• Patients with an MPE (i.e. one in which malignant cells are identified in the pleural fluid or pleural biopsy); or a large exudative pleural effusion without other causes in a patient with known disseminated extra-thoracic malignancy

You may not qualify if:

• Patients with Age \<18 years; pleural infection; pregnant or lactating; inability to consent or comply with the protocol; anticipated pleural drainage procedure within one week subsequent to recruitment.
