Influence of comorbidity on cancer patients' rehabilitation needs, participation in rehabilitation activities and unmet needs: a population-based cohort study.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
purposeThis study aims to investigate possible associations between cancer survivors' comorbidity status and their (1) need for rehabilitation, (2) participation in rehabilitation activities and (3) unmet needs for rehabilitation in a 14-month period following date of diagnosis.
methodsWe performed a population-based cohort study including incident cancer patients diagnosed from 1 October 2007 to 30 September 2008 in two regions in Denmark. Fourteen months after diagnosis, participants completed a questionnaire measuring different aspects and dimensions of rehabilitation. Individual information on comorbidity was based on hospital contacts from 1994 and until diagnosis, subsequently classified according to the Charlson comorbidity index. Logistic regression analyses were used to explore the association between comorbidity and outcomes for rehabilitation. Analyses were conducted overall and stratified for gender, age and cancer type.
resultsA total of 3,439 patients responded (70%). Comorbidity at all levels was statistically significant associated with a physical rehabilitation need, and moderate to severe comorbidity was statistically significant associated with a need in the emotional, family-oriented and financial areas as well as participation in physical-related rehabilitation activities. Stratified analyses showed that significant results in most cases were related to being older than 65 years or having colorectal or prostate cancer.
conclusionsComorbidity at all levels was significantly associated with needs for physical rehabilitation. Moderate to severe comorbidity was further associated with other areas of need and participation in physical area activities. This should be taken into account when planning rehabilitation interventions for cancer survivors. Differences among subgroups could help target interventions and should be explored further.
