ECOG performance status

A scale of how much an illness limits everyday activity. For people being assessed to join a study, scores run from 0 (fully active) to 4; lower is more active.

0
Fully active, no restrictions.
1
Limited in strenuous activity, but walking and able to do light work, such as housework or office work.
2
Walking and able to look after yourself, but unable to work; up and about more than half of waking hours.
3
Able to look after yourself only in part; in bed or a chair more than half of waking hours.
4
Unable to look after yourself at all; in bed or a chair all day.

Studies most often ask for 0–1 or 0–2. Your doctor gives the score; the WHO scale uses the same steps. The full scale also has 5, which records death.

Study arms

  • Experimental
    Triethanolamine cream group

    Triethanolamine cream retention enema was given once every night before going to bed during radiotherapy until the end of radiotherapy. Triethanolamine cream retention enema was given once before going to bed the day after radiotherapy for 3 months

    Drug: Triethanolamine cream

Interventions

  • DrugTriethanolamine cream

    Triethanolamine cream retention enema was given once every night before going to bed during radiotherapy until the end of radiotherapy. Triethanolamine cream retention enema was given once before going to bed the day after radiotherapy for 3 months. Preparation method: Pull out the syringe piston, add 15ml triethanolamine cream, add 30ml normal saline, gently pat, shake well. Specific methods of retention enema: at night before going to bed, empty urine and feces, prepare enema liquid into the syringe, connect the special catheter, and insert the other end of the special catheter into the anus (the special catheter can be applied with lubricant such as tea oil before insertion). The patient remained prone and semi-seated. Use a special catheter, insert a special catheter about 15cm from the anus, and inject enteral liquid while withdrawing, so that the liquid is retained in the rectum; The above treatment was performed before bed and retained overnight.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Occurrence time of acute and chronic radiation rectal injury

    RTOG/EORTC criteria were used to evaluate the severity of acute and chronic radiation rectal injury. The time (days) of acute radiation rectal injury were evaluated and recorded

    Time frame: Up to approximately 4 months

  2. Evaluation of acute and chronic radiation rectal injury

    RTOG/EORTC criteria were used to evaluate the severity of acute and chronic radiation rectal injury. The grading of acute radiation rectal injury were evaluated and recorded

    Time frame: Up to approximately 4 months

Secondary outcomes

  1. Clinical symptom assessment

    Clinical symptoms were assessed using the Simple Clinical Colitis Activity Index (SCCAI) designed by the Inflammatory Bowel Disease Research Group at the Royal Free Hospital School of Medicine. SCCAI in this study included 6 items, with a total score of 0-16. The higher the score, the more severe the symptoms.

    Time frame: Up to approximately 4 months

  2. Quality of life assessment assessed by IBDQ

    The quality of life index (IBDQ) was used to evaluate the quality of life of patients with inflammatory bowel disease. IBDQ included 32 questions in 4 aspects: intestinal symptoms (10), systemic symptoms (5), emotional ability (12) and social ability (5). Each question was divided into 7 grades, with a total score of 32-224 points. The higher the score, the better the quality of life. Scores above 177 indicate light, 176-121 indicate medium, and below 120 indicate heavy.

    Time frame: Up to approximately 4 months
