Prospective PROM and PREM Analysis Demonstrating Specification Advantage and Language Barriers

Head and Neck Cancer Clinical Trial

Official title:
Prospective Cohort Analysis - The Role of General and Specific Patient Reported Outcome and Experience Measures Among Head and Neck Cancer Patients

Clinical Trial Summary

Importance: Patient reported outcome and experience measures (PROM and PREM) constitute a cornerstone of the collective efforts to improve and personalize healthcare systems. The EORTC quality of life (QOL) group developed instruments evaluating general and disease specific oncology QOL questionnaires, and the quality of information received. Implementation of PREM and relevant PROM is essential for equity, better resources utility, accessibility and patient centered treatment. Objectives: We describe the EORTC INFO 25 translation process followed by investigation of subpopulation where action is most needed. We investigate which QOL questionnaire better reflects clinical parameters among head and neck cancer (HNC) patients. Design: A prospective cohort. Setting Tertiary, referral, head and neck dedicated surgical service. Participants: Consecutive head and neck cancer adult patients, surgically treated, recruited between January to December 2022. Exposures: We prospectively analyzed the new EORTC INFO 25 Hebrew questionnaire together with previously established Arabic translated version and the general (QLQ-C30) and specific (QLQ - H&N43) oncology QOL questionnaires. Main Outcomes and Measures: Analyzing the quality of information provided and desired in diverse HNC subgroup of patients. Analyzing which of PROM questionnaire better reflects HNC patients' disease and treatment parameters, which in turn, may predict poorer QOL. Results: We recruited 60 patients, consisting of equal female: male ratio, of which 16.66% were native Arabic speaking. Validated INFO 25 scores (median 62.6±17.5) were not associated with patients' age, sex, education status, disease, and treatment parameters. Yet, the Arabic spoken sub-population had significantly lower scores (p<0.001). In contrast to QLQ-C30, clinical imperative associations were demonstrated between QLQ - H&N43 and patients' disease stage (P<0.001), admission days (p<0.0001), free flap reconstruction (P<0.001) and adjuvant radiotherapy (P<0.001). Conclusions and relevance: The final version of the native EORTC INFO25 translation was approved by the EORTC. We demonstrate lower INFO25 scores among the Arabic speaking population, suggesting frail equity and accessibility. In order to improve patients' centered treatment and resource utilization, we reveal a strong association between disease severity and treatment aggressiveness and poor quality of life on specific, HNC oriented, EORTC QLQ - H&N43 questionnaire that was not validated on EORTC QLQ-C30, which can be omitted.
