Reyes-Gibby CC et al. - Results showed that 64% experienced CIPN during paclitaxel treatment. Follow-up survey data revealed that 27% of those with CIPN were subsequently diagnosed with NP. Logistic regression analyses showed that those who had experienced CIPN were 3 times more likely to develop NP, which persisted in the multivariate logistic model. In addition, NP patients reported twice as many visits to their health care provider and had taken more prescription and over-the-counter medications for pain than those without NP. The results of this study confirm that CIPN is a predictor of NP, suggesting that survivors treated with paclitaxel should be regularly monitored for NP beyond treatment.
