P05.64 The disease burden of meningioma patients: long-term results on work productivity and healthcare consumption

BACKGROUND: Meningioma patients suffer from short- and long-term neurological sequelae and impaired health-related quality of life (HRQoL). However, it is unknown how these impairments affect patients’ work productivity and healthcare consumption on the long-term. MATERIAL AND METHODS: In a multicentre cross-sectional study intracranial meningioma patients of working age (18–67 years) at a median of 10.0 years after anti-tumour therapy were included. Patients completed a validated questionnaire on work productivity (SF-HLQ), and a study-specific questionnaire on healthcare consumption. One-sample t-test was used to compare meningioma patients with normative data of the Dutch population. Generalised linear models were used to compare meningioma patients with a control population, corrected for: age, sex, educational level and comorbidity. Patient recruitment and data collection is still in progress. RESULTS: 106 meningioma patients were included (mean age: 57.7 years, WHO grade I: 93.5%, surgery: 94.2%, radiotherapy: 17.5%). Meningioma patients had a paid job in 48.1% of cases, compared with 71.8% of the Dutch population of working age (p
