Clinical Significance Unveiled: Understanding the Meaning of FACE-Q Skin Cancer Scores for Improved Patient Care.
Objective: The FACE-Q Skin Cancer Module is a Patient-Reported Outcome Measure (PROM) utilized to assess outcomes following facial skin cancer resection. However, the lack of Minimal Important Difference (MID) estimates hinders the interpretability of the PROM scores. This study established MID estimates for the four outcome scales from the FACE-Q Skin Cancer Module using distribution-based methods.
Methods: A prospective cohort study at four hospitals in the United States, enrolled participants who underwent Mohs Micrographic Surgery (MMS) for facial skin cancer between April 2020 and April 2022. Participants completed the Satisfaction with Facial Appearance, Appearance-related Psychosocial Distress, Cancer Worry, and Appraisal of Scars scales at four time points: pre-operatively, 2-week, 6-month, and 1-year post-surgery.
Results: A total of 990 patients participated in the study, with completion rates of 98.4% for the pre-operative assessment, 70.8% at 2 weeks, 59.3% at 6 months, and 60.4% at 1 year. MID estimates, calculated using 0.2 standard deviation and 0.2 standardized response mean, were determined for the four scales. The mean MID estimates, based on a Rasch transformed score ranging from 0 to 100, were 5 for the Appraisal of Scars scale and 4 for the remaining three scales.
Conclusion: This multicenter study provides valuable MID estimates for the FACE-Q Skin Cancer Module, specifically for the MMS patient population, enabling clinicians and researchers to better interpret scores, determine appropriate sample sizes, and apply the findings in clinical care.
期刊介绍：
Psycho-Oncology is concerned with the psychological, social, behavioral, and ethical aspects of cancer. This subspeciality addresses the two major psychological dimensions of cancer: the psychological responses of patients to cancer at all stages of the disease, and that of their families and caretakers; and the psychological, behavioral and social factors that may influence the disease process. Psycho-oncology is an area of multi-disciplinary interest and has boundaries with the major specialities in oncology: the clinical disciplines (surgery, medicine, pediatrics, radiotherapy), epidemiology, immunology, endocrinology, biology, pathology, bioethics, palliative care, rehabilitation medicine, clinical trials research and decision making, as well as psychiatry and psychology.
This international journal is published twelve times a year and will consider contributions to research of clinical and theoretical interest. Topics covered are wide-ranging and relate to the psychosocial aspects of cancer and AIDS-related tumors, including: epidemiology, quality of life, palliative and supportive care, psychiatry, psychology, sociology, social work, nursing and educational issues.
Special reviews are offered from time to time. There is a section reviewing recently published books. A society news section is available for the dissemination of information relating to meetings, conferences and other society-related topics. Summary proceedings of important national and international symposia falling within the aims of the journal are presented.
