PROMIS evaluation for head and neck cancer patients: A comprehensive quality-of-life outcomes assessment tool

Objectives/Hypothesis The objective of this study was to evaluate the Patient‐Reported Outcomes Measure Information System (PROMIS) in a head and neck cancer patient cohort by assessing the associations of the PROMIS instruments with the responses to the European Oncology Research and Treatment of C...

Description
Summary:Objectives/Hypothesis The objective of this study was to evaluate the Patient‐Reported Outcomes Measure Information System (PROMIS) in a head and neck cancer patient cohort by assessing the associations of the PROMIS instruments with the responses to the European Oncology Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) general measures, EORTC head and neck (H&N) measures, and Voice Handicap Index (VHI‐10). We hypothesized that PROMIS scores are related to the other measures and may be used as assessment tools to help determine quality‐of‐life outcomes in head and neck cancer patients. Study Design Prospective baseline assessment of quality‐of‐life outcomes. Methods Thirty‐nine head and neck cancer patients were included in the study. PROMIS (domains of fatigue, physical functioning, sleep disturbance, sleep‐related impairment, and negative perceived cognitive function, EORTC (general), EORTC H&N, and the VHI‐10 were given to all patients at the onset of their cancer diagnosis. Spearman correlation coefficients were computed to assess relationships between the measures. Correlations with corresponding P values
