Importance Adolescent and young adult (AYA) patients with advanced cancer often die in hospital settings. Data characterizing the degree to which this pattern of care is concordant patient goals are sparse. Objective To evaluate extent concordance between preferred actual location death among AYA cancer. Design, Setting, Participants This multicenter retrospective cohort study included (aged 12-39 years) who died January 1, 2003, December 31, 2019, after receiving at Dana-Farber Cancer...
PURPOSE Adolescent and young adult (AYA) patients with cancer frequently receive intensive measures at the end of life; many also express care goals that align a palliative approach. We sought to understand extent which AYAs are referred before death, timing referrals, associations between referral end-of-life outcomes. METHODS Review electronic health data medical records for 1,918 age 12-39 years who died after receiving one three sites 2003 2019. Patients received but lacked documentation...
Adolescents and young adults (AYAs) with cancer receive high rates of medically intensive measures at the end life. This study aimed to characterize prevalence timing conversations about goals care advance planning among AYAs life as one potential influence on received.
Background: Bladder cancer patients who undergo cystectomy and urinary diversion face functional quality-of-life challenges.Little is known about these patients' experiences during decision-making, surgery, recovery, or how they vary by treatment setting.Objective: To learn with choice, surgical care, recovery across health settings.Understanding patient essential to closing care gaps developing patient-reported measures.Methods: We conducted focus groups family caregivers at a large...
If validated in other samples and health care settings, algorithms to capture toxicity could be useful comparative cost effectiveness evaluations of community practice–delivered treatment.
Adolescents, young adults with cancer receive limited psychosocial and spiritual support near death.
Adolescents and young adults frequently receive chemotherapy near death. We know less about the use of targeted agents immunotherapy or trends over time.
Importance Little is known about the nature of change in goals care (GOC) over time among adolescents and younger adult (AYA) patients aged 12 to 39 years with cancer near end life. Understanding how GOC evolve may guide clinicians supporting AYA making end-of-life decisions. Objective To assess frequency, timing, evolution documented last 90 days Design, Setting, Participants This cross-sectional study included a retrospective review medical records from Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Kaiser...
Surrogate measures of infectious exposures have been consistently associated with lower childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) risk. However, recent reports suggested that physician-diagnosed early-life infections increase ALL risk, thereby raising the possibility stronger responses to might promote We examined whether medically diagnosed were related risk in an integrated health-care system United States. Cases (n = 435) between 1994-2014 among children aged 0-14 years, along matched...
Abstract Background Understanding the relative contributions of SARS-CoV-2 infection-induced and vaccine- induced seroprevalence is key to measuring overall population-level help guide policy decisions. Methods Using a series six population-based cross-sectional surveys conducted among persons aged ≥7 years in large health system with over 4.5 million members between May 2021 April 2022, we combined data from electronic record (EHR), an survey spike antibody binding assay, assess infection...

Assessment of health effects from low-dose radiation exposures in patients undergoing diagnostic imaging is an active area research. High-quality dosimetry information pertaining to these medical generally not readily available clinicians or epidemiologists studying radiation-related risks. The purpose this study was provide methods for organ dose estimation pediatric four common fluoroscopy procedures: the upper gastrointestinal (UGI) series, lower (LGI) voiding cystourethrogram (VCUG) and...

Abstract Background: With over 2.8 million breast cancer survivors in the U.S. today, there is increasing interest and need to identify factors associated with recurrence survival. The Pathways Study was designed examine effects of lifestyle (e.g., diet, physical activity, complementary alternative medicine [CAM]), psychosocial quality life), molecular genetic, medical care, contextual social built environment characteristics) on prognosis. Methods: Women newly-diagnosed invasive were...

Background: Researchers seeking to understand the physical, socioemotional and quality-of-life impacts of serious health conditions such as cancer need interact with patients during times poor if they hope develop a more complete understanding patient experience. A common concern is these will be overburdened asked participate in research that participation rates low. Our analysis describes recruitment methods examines survey response among bladder period after removal surgery, when may...
