Little is known about the things to consider when using this data collection method in clinical research for patients with cancer. In this Viewpoint paper, we discuss the lessons we learned from using a qualitative digital diary method via a mobile messenger service for data collection in oncology care. The lessons learned focus on three main topics: (1) data quality, (2) practical aspects, and (3) data protection. We hope to provide useful information to other researchers who consider this method for their research with patients. First, in this paper, we argue that the interactive nature of a digital diary via a messenger service is very well suited for the phenomenological approach and produces high-quality data. Second, we discuss practical issues of data collection with a mobile messenger service, including participant and researcher interaction. Third, we highlight corresponding aspects around technicalities, particularly those regarding data security. Our views on data privacy and information security are summarized in a comprehensive checklist to inform fellow researchers on the selection of a suitable messenger service for different scenarios. In our opinion, a digital diary via a mobile messenger service can provide high-quality data almost in real time and from participants' daily lives. However, some considerations must be made to ensure that patient data are sufficiently protected. The lessons we learned can guide future qualitative research using this relatively novel method for data collection in cancer research.</p>","PeriodicalId":45538,"journal":{"name":"JMIR Cancer","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2024-07-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11319886/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141789433","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

There are notable gaps in existing literature regarding the influence of neighborhood-level socioeconomic status on telemedicine use in patients with breast cancer and oncology services offered through telehealth versus in-person visits.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Objective: &lt;/strong&gt;We assessed the relationship between neighborhood socioeconomic disadvantage and telemedicine use among patients with breast cancer and examined differential provisions of oncology services between telehealth and in-person visits.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Methods: &lt;/strong&gt;Neighborhood socioeconomic disadvantage was measured using the Area Deprivation Index (ADI), with higher scores indicating greater disadvantages. Telemedicine and in-person visits were defined as having had a telehealth and in-person visit with a provider, respectively, in the past 12 months.

Overall, 35.96% (416/1157) had a telemedicine visit in the past 12 months.

Higher ADI scores were associated with a lower likelihood of telemedicine use (adjusted odds ratio [AOR] 0.89, 95% CI 0.82-0.97). Black (AOR 2.38, 95% CI 1.41-4.00) and Hispanic (AOR 2.65, 95% CI 1.07-6.58) patients had greater odds of telemedicine use than White patients.

This program consisted of three 60-minute, moderate-intensity walking sessions per week, either in small groups or one-on-one, facilitated by a certified exercise physiologist and held at local community fitness centers. As originally designed, the exercise prescription included 36 supervised sessions at a fitness center. However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the number of supervised sessions varied depending on whether participants enrolled before or after March 2020. During each exercise session, HR (in beats per minute) was concurrently measured via a Polar H10 chest monitor and a wrist-worn Fitbit Inspire HR at 5 stages: pre-exercise rest; midpoint of warm-up; midpoint of exercise session; midpoint of cool-down; and postexercise recovery. The exercise physiologist recorded the participant's HR from each device at the midpoint of each stage. HR agreement between the Polar H10 and Fitbit Inspire HR was assessed using Lin concordance correlation coefficient (r<sub>c</sub>) with a 95% CI.

The agreement was lowest during warm-up (rc=0.39, 95% CI 0.27-0.49).

Propensity score matching (PSM) analyses and machine learning were performed to compare variables between patients with MSPLC. Survival curves were plotted using the Kaplan-Meier method and were compared using log-rank tests.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>A total of 2451 MSPLC patients were categorized into the following treatment groups: 864 (35.3%) received radiotherapy, 759 (31%) underwent surgery, 89 (3.6%) had surgery plus radiotherapy, and 739 (30.2%) had neither treatment. After PSM, 470 pairs each for radiotherapy and surgery were generated. The surgery group had significantly better survival than the radiotherapy group (P<.001) and the untreated group (563 pairs; P<.001). Further analysis revealed that both wedge resection (85 pairs; P=.004) and lobectomy (71 pairs; P=.002) outperformed radiotherapy in overall survival for MSPLC patients. Machine learning models (extreme gradient boosting, random forest classifier, adaptive boosting) demonstrated high predictive performance based on area under the curve (AUC) values. Least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression analysis identified 9 significant variables impacting cancer-specific survival, emphasizing surgery's consistent influence across 1 year to 10 years. These variables encompassed age at diagnosis, sex, year of diagnosis, radiotherapy of initial primary lung cancer (IPLC), primary site, histology, surgery, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy of MPSLC. Competing risk analysis highlighted lower mortality for female MPSLC patients (hazard ratio [HR]=0.79, 95% CI 0.71-0.87) and recent IPLC diagnoses (HR=0.79, 95% CI 0.73-0.85), while radiotherapy for IPLC increased mortality (HR=1.31, 95% CI 1.16-1.50). Surgery alone had the lowest cancer-specific mortality (HR=0.83, 95% CI 0.81-0.85), with sublevel resection having the lowest mortality rate among the surgical approaches (HR=0.26, 95% CI 0.21-0.31).
