PURPOSE Implementation of routine financial screening is a critical step toward mitigating toxicity. We evaluated the feasibility, sustainability, and acceptability systematic in outpatient breast oncology clinic at large, urban cancer center. METHODS developed implemented stakeholder-informed process to systematically screen for hardship worry. A 2-item assessment English or Spanish was administered patients through electronic medical record portal using paper forms. completion rates mode...
To explore the utility of brief financial screening items to facilitate implementation routine toxicity screening.50 women with breast cancer completed a one-time survey that included Comprehensive Score for Financial Toxicity (COST): A FACIT Measure Toxicity, visual analog scale, and sociodemographic questionnaire.Survey responses were examined assess psychometric properties individual COST scale by calculating Cronbach's alpha Pearson's correlation coefficients.The mean was 21.4, 27...
Aim: Research regarding decisions patients make about total knee arthroplasty, apart from having the procedure or not, are limited. Understanding patient decision making and related information needs is essential for shared making. Methods: Focus groups with an online community-based sample identified arthroplasty beyond to have surgery itself. An survey was used determine relative importance of five major evaluate available. Results: Patients did not feel they enough important surgeon,...
Ultralight accidents are reported to be more severe compared those in other categories of sports aviation. In the absence denominator data United States (US) but addressing a continuing concern general aviation safety, this study gives comparison between ultralight US, Kingdom (UK) and Portugal. For period 2000–2010, 35 occurred Portugal, 252 UK 20 US. They were for their proportionate number fatal accidents, main causes, characteristics pilots. The showed significantly smaller that US...
e24134 Background: Diabetes (DM) and hyperglycemia (HG) during chemotherapy increase the risk of treatment-related toxicities. The prevalence HG daily patterns over course in patients with early-stage breast cancer (ESBC) are currently unknown. Methods: We conducted a prospective single-arm pilot study continuous glucose monitoring ESBC receiving from 12/2020 – 2/2022. Eligibility criteria included: diagnosis Stage I-III BC, age ≥18, planned concurrent corticosteroid supportive care use....
PURPOSE Medication nonadherence is common among patients with breast cancer (BC) and increases BC mortality complications from comorbidities. There growing interest in mobile health interventions such as smartphone applications (apps) to promote adherence. METHODS Use of Medisafe, a medication reminder tracking app, was tested over 12 weeks on treatment at least one oral medication. Study participants were instructed generate adherence reports every 4 through Medisafe deemed have completed...
PURPOSE The past decade has seen an increase in oral anticancer drug (OACD) approvals. Polypharmacy and drug-drug interactions (DDIs) likely contribute to OACD toxicity. We assessed a one-time pharmacist-led video consultation identify DDIs. METHODS conducted single-arm telehealth intervention of 30-minute among patients initiating OACDs. visit focused on identifying polypharmacy Feasibility was defined as ≥50% completion all study interventions. determined the prevalence, characteristics,...
389 Background: Existing research describes a number of barriers limiting cancer clinical trial enrollment, including time constraints and financial burden, particularly among under-represented populations. In this study, we sought to assess the relationship between use remote technology in trials patient interest participation amongst oncology patients at an urban academic medical center. Methods: We administered 60-question, cross-sectional, in-person survey adult with solid tumor or...
387 Background: The increasing prevalence of video/remote visits in the clinical setting has posed researchers with unique challenges related to trial recruitment. Without ability speak potential participants face face, rely on making phone calls which are frequently screened, declined, or never returned. Patients contacted this way may access trials and care opportunities available them. Electronic health record (EHR) patient portals, such as MyChart (Epic), allow individuals their medical...
104 Background: Existing research describes numerous barriers to care for patients with cancer, including time constraints, cost, and additional health conditions. We sought assess telehealth access experience amongst a diverse patient population at an academic medical center. Methods: administered 60-question, cross-sectional, in-person survey adult diagnosis of solid tumor or hematological malignancy on active treatment Columbia University Irving Medical Center (CUIMC) in New York, NY...
<h3>Background</h3> Patient-engaged research can improve the safety and satisfaction outcomes of hip knee arthroplasty (joint replacement surgery). <h3>Objectives</h3> The objective this study was to identify decisions that are most important patients when undergoing or factors they view as in making those decisions. <h3>Methods</h3> Forty-nine U.S. participants were recruited from ArthritisPower Patient-Powered Research Network CreakyJoints arthritis patient community participate structured...
Abstract Background: Taxane-induced peripheral neuropathy (TIPN) is one of the most common and debilitating adverse effects taxane therapy for early-stage breast cancer (ESBC). TIPN difficult to treat, there are no known effective prevention strategies. Small non-randomized studies in patients with ESBC, have suggested both cryotherapy compression hands feet may be prevention. However, unknown which therapy, if either, more at compared placebo. Methods: We conducted a randomized phase IIB...
Abstract Introduction: Low medication adherence is associated with worse outcomes among patients breast cancer (BC). Retrospective studies have shown decreased survival in BC who are non-adherent to endocrine therapy, but less known about newer oral therapies and the impact on medications for chronic non-cancer conditions. New strategies improve global needed. We assessed feasibility patient satisfaction of Medisafe smartphone application initial phase a trial increase adherence. Methods:...
Abstract Background: There are a growing number of breast cancer (BC) survivors who at risk for short and long-term treatment-related toxicities. BC may be higher developing diabetes mellitus (DM), chemotherapy potentiate this due to concurrent corticosteroid use. DM is associated with both treatment toxicities worse outcomes. The prevalence hyperglycemia (HG) during early-stage (ESBC), the association between HG unknown. Methods: We conducting single-arm pilot study evaluate among patients...
