Description
Vid Duplančić and colleagues measure life quality among Croatian women of working age living with breast cancer, against national norms. Survivorship outcomes matter, yet population-referenced data for women aged 18 to 65 in Central and Eastern Europe were scarce.
Outpatients at two tertiary cancer centres in Croatia completed a five-dimension health questionnaire plus a breast-cancer module in a 2024 cross-sectional study. Utility scores used a Slovenian value set and were set beside age-matched Croatian female norms from 2022, with non-parametric tests for group gaps. Clinicians get a benchmark for where cancer dents daily life most for working-age women.
