Cancer treatments impact health-related quality of life (HRQoL). EQ-5D is a standardized generic measure of HRQoL. The objective of this project was to assess, from the patient's perspective, the feasibility of implementing real-world EQ-5D-3L measurement at a pilot site, as a first step to large-scale collection of EQ-5D from patients with cancer across Ontario. This was a prospective longitudinal study at a single oncology centre to understand the feasibility of routinely collecting EQ-5D-3L while patients receive chemotherapy (N = 170). Consenting patients completed an additional questionnaire on feasibility, and a subset of participants were directly interviewed to provide further feedback and suggest improvements to questionnaire collection. Themes emerging from the interviews were analyzed using content analysis. Of 170 eligible and consenting patients who completed an initial EQ-5D-3L questionnaire, 103 (60.6%) completed at least one follow-up questionnaire. When asked about willingness to answer future questionnaires at subsequent visits, 115 (67.3%) answered definitely; 35 (20.5%) very likely. Patients provided feedback on their overall experience of completing EQ-5D-3L, the questionnaire presentation, frequency of completion, and analytic plans. Patients expressed that routinely collecting EQ-5D-3L is feasible. Incorporating patient feedback regarding EQ-5D collection will facilitate implementation of systematic collection at cancer centres across Ontario.
癌症治疗会影响健康相关生活质量(HRQoL)。EQ-5D是一种标准化的HRQoL通用测量工具。本项目的目的是从患者角度评估在一个试点地点实施真实世界EQ-5D-3L测量的可行性,这是在安大略省大规模收集癌症患者EQ-5D数据的第一步。这是在一个单一肿瘤中心进行的前瞻性纵向研究,旨在了解在患者接受化疗期间(N = 170)常规收集EQ-5D-3L的可行性。同意参与的患者完成了一份关于可行性的额外问卷,并且对一部分参与者进行了直接访谈,以提供进一步反馈并就问卷收集提出改进建议。使用内容分析法对访谈中出现的主题进行了分析。在170名完成初始EQ-5D-3L问卷的符合条件且同意参与的患者中,103名(60.6%)完成了至少一份后续问卷。当被问及在后续就诊时是否愿意回答未来的问卷时,115名(67.3%)明确表示愿意;35名(20.5%)表示很可能愿意。患者就完成EQ-5D-3L的总体体验、问卷呈现方式、完成频率和分析计划提供了反馈。患者表示常规收集EQ-5D-3L是可行的。纳入患者关于EQ-5D收集的反馈将有助于在安大略省各癌症中心实施系统收集。
