Abstract
Background: Electronic patient-reported outcomes monitoring (ePROM) is a useful communication tool for patients and healthcare providers in cancer chemotherapy. In this study, we examined the feasibility of our newly developed ePROM system, which we refer to as "Hibilog".
Methods: An ePROM app was developed by extracting 18 items from the Patient-Reported Outcome-Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (PRO-CTCAE). Symptom monitoring was conducted every two weeks for patients with metastatic breast cancer undergoing chemotherapy. The primary outcome was the response rate to the ePROM system. The secondary outcomes were response time, item missing rate, and distribution of responses for each symptom.
Results: A total of 71 cases (mean age 52.6 years) were analyzed. Performance status was 0 in 76% of the cases and 1 or higher in 24%. First-line treatment was being administered in 30% of cases, second-line treatment in 17%, and third-line or higher treatment in 53%. The response rate to the ePROM system from registration to week 40 remained high at around 80%, indicating good compliance. The average response time was 5.5 min and the missing rate for each item was below 0.4%. Among 1,093 responses, the top 3 symptoms causing interference with daily life were Fatigue (63%), Numbness and tingling (48%), and General pain (46%).
Conclusion: Our developed ePROM system was able to capture symptoms accurately in patients with metastatic breast cancer undergoing chemotherapy while maintaining a high response compliance.
期刊介绍：
Breast Cancer, the official journal of the Japanese Breast Cancer Society, publishes articles that contribute to progress in the field, in basic or translational research and also in clinical research, seeking to develop a new focus and new perspectives for all who are concerned with breast cancer. The journal welcomes all original articles describing clinical and epidemiological studies and laboratory investigations regarding breast cancer and related diseases. The journal will consider five types of articles: editorials, review articles, original articles, case reports, and rapid communications. Although editorials and review articles will principally be solicited by the editors, they can also be submitted for peer review, as in the case of original articles. The journal provides the best of up-to-date information on breast cancer, presenting readers with high-impact, original work focusing on pivotal issues.
