Abstract Background There is currently no clinical trial data regarding the efficacy of everolimus exemestane (EE) following prior treatment with CDK4/6 inhibitors (CDK4/6i). This study assesses use and in patients metastatic HR+ HER2− breast cancer previously treated endocrine therapy (ET) or + CDK4/6i. Methods Retrospective analysis electronic health record-derived for from 2012 to 2018. The proportion receiving EE first-line, second-line, third-line, median duration next line (TTNT) by...
Background The traditional informed consent (IC) process rarely emphasizes research participants’ comprehension of medical information, leaving them vulnerable to unknown risks and consequences associated with procedures or studies. Objective This paper explores how we evaluated the feasibility a digital health tool called Virtual Multimedia Interactive Informed Consent (VIC) for advancing IC compared results paper-based methods IC. Methods Using web-based coaching, developed VIC that uses...
Importance Robust quality measures to benchmark end-of-life care for children with cancer do not currently exist; 28 candidate patient-centered were previously developed. Objective To prioritize among parents who lost a child cancer. Design, Setting, and Participants This survey study was conducted using an electronic, cross-sectional discrete choice experiment (DCE) maximum difference scaling from January June 2021 in the US. In each of 21 questions DCE, participants presented set 4 asked...

Methods We used stratified randomization assign 535 patients who self-reported on screener October 2022-January 2023 one programs:...
There are no existing quality measures (QMs) to optimize end-of-life care for children with cancer. Previously, we developed a set of 26 candidate QMs. Our primary objective in this study was achieve stakeholder consensus on priority measures.We conducted an iterative, cross-sectional electronic survey, using modified Delphi method build among clinician and family stakeholders. In each the two rounds surveys, stakeholders were asked rate QMs 9-point Likert scale, basis perceived importance....
Background The complex relationship between incarceration and cancer survival has not been thoroughly evaluated. We assessed whether diagnosis during or the immediate post-release period is associated with higher rates of mortality compared those never incarcerated. Methods conducted a population-based study using statewide linkage tumor registry correctional system movement data for Connecticut adult residents diagnosed invasive from 2005 through 2016. independent variable was place...
Abstract Background : We previously developed stakeholder‐informed quality measures to assess end‐of‐life care for children with cancer. sought implement a subset of these in the multi‐center pediatric palliative (PPC) database. Procedures utilized Shared Data and Research database evaluate proportion childhood cancer decedents from 2017–2021 who, last 30 days life, avoided chemotherapy, mechanical ventilation, intensive unit admissions, > 1 hospital admission; were enrolled hospice...

PURPOSE: Acute care imposes a significant burden on patients and cancer costs. We examined whether an advanced practice provider-driven, cancer-specific urgent center embedded within large tertiary academic decreased acute use among oncology active therapy. MATERIALS AND METHODS: conducted quasi-experimental study anchored around the Oncology Extended Care Clinic (OECC) opening date. evaluated two parallel 4-month periods: post-OECC period that followed 5-month run-in phase, identical...
Abstract Cancer treatment can trigger or exacerbate health-related socioeconomic risks (HRSR; food/housing insecurity, transportation/utilities difficulties, and interpersonal violence). The American Society National Institute recommend HRSR screening referral, but little research has examined the perceptions of patients with cancer on appropriateness in healthcare settings. We whether status, desire for assistance HRSRs, sociodemographic health care–related factors were associated perceived...
Introduction Incarceration is associated with decreased cancer screening rates and a higher risk for hospitalisation death from after release prison. However, there paucity of data on the relationship between incarceration outcomes quality care. In Cancer-Related Outcomes Study, we aim to develop nuanced understanding how affects incidence, mortality treatment, moderates socioeconomic status, structural racism disparities. Methods analysis We will use sequential explanatory mixed-methods...
Children, adolescents, and young adults with hematologic malignancies tend to receive high-intensity end-of-life care (HI-EOLC), but sociodemographic hospital-based predictors of HI-EOLC remain unclear.The authors conducted a population-based, retrospective cohort study the Premier Healthcare Database. They identified individuals who were 0 39 years old at death died between 2010 2017. was defined as experiencing 2 or more following: cardiopulmonary resuscitation, intravenous chemotherapy,...
