What are the distinct quality-of-life trajectories after pelvic exenteration?

Quality of life trajectories after pelvic exenteration diverge into distinct classes, with most patients experiencing optimal outcomes. Two classes were identified for physical scores and three for mental and functional scores, with higher overall survival probabilities in the optimal trajectory class. Age, repeat surgery, neoadjuvant therapy, surgical margin, operation duration, and hospital stay were significant predictors of quality-of-life classes.
