Guidelines to optimise ePROs monitoring for older patients under systemic cancer treatment from the French Society of Geriatric oncology (SoFOG) based on a delphi consensus
Introduction
Electronic patient-reported outcome (ePRO) monitoring improves cancer treatment completion, quality of life (QoL), and is now covered by several French National Health Insurances. Given that most patients diagnosed with cancer worldwide are aged 65 or over, we need to take into account patients' potential frailty (e.g., mobility and history of falls, comorbidities, polypharmacy, cognitive impairment) and its negative impact on cancer treatment outcomes. The aim of this study was to make recommendations to optimise ePRO monitoring in older patients treated for cancer.
Materials and Methods
This national Delphi method targeted patients with cancer aged ≥65 and/or their primary caregivers, as well as healthcare professionals (doctors, nurses, pharmacists) using ePROs developed for oncology. Ten recommendations were developed – using national and international guidelines as well as scientific literature – based on patients' profiles, ease of use, usefulness and satisfaction. The level of agreement with each recommendation was voted by each participant using a Likert scale. Recommendations could be modified after each round based on feedback to better reflect the needs regarding ePROs for older adults.
Results
Among the 221 participants at the first and the 148 at the second round, the majority of participants were aged ≥65 (94.1 % and 94.6 % respectively) and over 90 % of participants were patients (91 % and 93.2 % respectively). Males were predominant in both the first and second round (59.3 % and 62.2 % respectively). Of the 10 proposed recommendations, three reached a strong agreement and six a moderate agreement. There was no consensus on the recommendation to adapt telemonitoring to an age threshold.
Discussion
As most of the participants were older patients, this consensus highlights their needs in terms of ePRO optimisation. Our guidelines propose a total of nine recommendations to be integrated by the ePRO monitoring systems.
