In advanced cancer quality of life (QoL) is the most important goal of care. It is measured by patient-reported-outcomes (PRO). This structured review evaluated how randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on anti-cancer therapy in advanced cancer reported PRO.
Search was performed in MEDLINE via PubMed for RCTs with median patient survival of ≤2 years. Reporting was rated with the Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials (CONSORT) PRO extension.
Of 370 retrieved publications, 117 were eligible, but only 30/117 (26%) reported PRO. QoL was most frequently measured (29/30). On average, 4.4 (SD 2.5) of the 14 CONSORT items were met.
PRO are insufficiently reported in advanced cancer trials. Yet, this is paramount to enable an informed and patient-oriented decision making process.
在晚期癌症中,生活质量(QoL)是最重要的护理目标。它通过患者报告结局(PRO)来衡量。本结构化综述评估了晚期癌症抗癌治疗的随机对照试验(RCT)中PRO的报告情况。
通过PubMed在MEDLINE中检索中位患者生存期≤2年的RCT。报告采用试验报告统一标准(CONSORT)PRO扩展版进行评分。
在检索到的370篇出版物中,117篇符合条件,但只有30/117(26%)报告了PRO。生活质量是最常测量的指标(29/30)。14项CONSORT项目平均满足4.4项(标准差2.5)。
晚期癌症试验中PRO的报告不足。然而,这对于实现明智且以患者为导向的决策过程至关重要。
