Abstract

 The purpose of this study is to clarify whether adoption of FACT/GOG-NtxV4.0(FACT)in the critical pathway and its management by the medical team was useful for management of peripheral neuropathy during bortezomib treatment for multiple myeloma. In our hospital, FACT was adopted in the critical pathway for management of peripheral nerve disorders in bortezomib therapy. This critical pathway was managed by the medical care team comprising physicians, nurses and pharmacists, for early recognition of peripheral neuropathy and dose adjustment of bortezomib. Medical records of patients treated with bortezomib and subjects to this critical pathway were studied retrospectively to examine the circumstances of patients' assessment of FACT, changes in FACT scores upon starting bortezomib treatment, patients' major complaints for peripheral nerve disorders, modification of dosage and treatment of bortezomib, and the usefulness of our approach for management of peripheral neuropathy.

 As a result, FACT self-assessment was fairly good, and total mean FACT scores of patients with peripheral neuropathy decreased significantly(p=0.0004)after one or two cycles of bortezomib. This result may be related to patients' unpleasant peripheral nerve sensations and suggests that our approach could be useful for detecting early symptoms of peripheral neuropathy. In addition to the results above, the average treatment cycle of bortezomib was 8.7 cycles, comparing favorably against previously reported data. It is presumed that applying this critical pathway contributed to dose adjustment of bortezomib in patient treatment, and it may be possible to expand its use into other areas of nursing care.
