Electronic patient self-Reporting of Adverse-events: Patient Information and aDvice (eRAPID) is an online eHealth system for patients to self-report symptoms during cancer treatment. It provides automated severity-dependent advice guiding self-management or medical contact displays the reports in electronic records. This trial evaluated impact eRAPID on symptom control, healthcare use, self-efficacy, quality life (QOL) a population treated predominantly with curative intent.Patients...

Little is known about health-related quality of life (HRQOL) following treatment for bladder cancer (BC). To determine this, we undertook a cross-sectional survey covering 10% the English population. Participants 1–10 yr from diagnosis were identified through national registration data. A postal was administered containing generic HRQOL and BC-specific outcome measures. Findings compared with those general population other pelvic patients. Generic measured using five-level EQ-5D (EQ-5D-5L)...

Abstract Background Diagnosis of a life‐threatening condition has been linked to post‐traumatic stress. However, only recently it acknowledged that positive outcomes including growth or benefit finding may also occur. The aim our study was extend previous work describing among survivors childhood cancer, by determining the contribution demographic and medical variables associations between child parent growth.

Modern cancer treatments have improved survival rates and changed the nature of care. The acute long-term physical psychosocial comorbidities associated with treatment place increasing demands on healthcare services to provide suitable models follow-up care for survivor population.Aim.

Abstract Background Advances in peri-operative care of surgical oncology patients result shorter hospital stays. Earlier discharge may bring benefits, but complications can occur while are recovering at home. Electronic patient-reported outcome (ePRO) systems enhance remote, real-time symptom monitoring and detection after discharge, thereby improving patient safety outcomes. Evidence the effectiveness ePRO is lacking. This pilot study evaluated feasibility a electronic system for following...

Patients undergoing major cancer surgery frequently require post-acute care for complications and adverse effects. Enhanced recovery after programmes mean that patients are increasingly discharged home earlier. Symptom/complication detection post-discharge is sub-optimal. Systematic patient monitoring following may be optimally achieved through routine electronic patient-reported outcome (ePRO) data capture. ePRO systems employ clinical algorithms to guide management of automatically alert...

Since the launch of National Cancer Survivorship Initiative, there has been a surge interest surrounding value and organisation long-term follow-up care after cancer treatment. We report views 309 adult survivors (aged 18–45 years) on provision preferences for care. A total 207 completed questionnaires before routine consultant-led appointments 102 were recruited by post. Measures health status (including late effects, perceived vulnerability to effects quality life), reasons attending...
