Continuing Care01:25

Continuing Care

2.0K
Continuing care describes the variety of health, personal, and social services provided over a prolonged period. The need for continuing care is increasing because people are living longer. Many people do not have families or others to care for them. Continuing care is mainly for patients who are disabled, functionally dependent, or suffering from a terminal disease. It is available within institutional settings or in homes. Examples include nursing centers or facilities, assisted living,...

Cancer Survival Analysis01:21

Cancer Survival Analysis

805
Cancer survival analysis focuses on quantifying and interpreting the time from a key starting point, such as diagnosis or the initiation of treatment, to a specific endpoint, such as remission or death. This analysis provides critical insights into treatment effectiveness and factors that influence patient outcomes, helping to shape clinical decisions and guide prognostic evaluations. A cornerstone of oncology research, survival analysis tackles the challenges of skewed, non-normally...

Types of Biopharmaceutical Studies: Controlled and Non-Controlled Approaches

508
Biopharmaceutical studies constitute a vital field aiming to enhance drug delivery methods and refine therapeutic approaches, drawing upon diverse interdisciplinary knowledge. In research methodologies, the choice between controlled and non-controlled studies significantly influences the study's reliability and accuracy.
Non-controlled studies, commonly employed for initial exploration, lack a control group, rendering them susceptible to biases and external influences. In contrast,...

Bioavailability Study Design: Healthy Subjects Versus Patients

193
Bioavailability studies are essential for evaluating a drug's therapeutic efficacy and understanding its absorption patterns under various physiological conditions. Conducting such studies on target patient populations provides more relevant data by simulating real-world disease states. However, practical challenges often necessitate the use of young, healthy adult volunteers as study subjects.Patients may exhibit altered drug absorption patterns due to the effects of the disease itself,...

Summary

Palliative care research often uses feasibility and pilot studies. However, few studies clearly report success criteria or participant burden, highlighting a need for standardized guidelines in this research area.

Area of Science:

  • Palliative Care Research
  • Clinical Study Design

Background:

  • Feasibility and pilot study designs are prevalent in palliative care research.
  • Standardized guidelines for the structure and reporting of these studies are lacking.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine the common reporting of a priori feasibility criteria and their subsequent use in palliative care research.
  • To assess the frequency of evaluating participant views on the acceptability and burden of study protocols.

Main Methods:

  • A systematic search of four databases (OVID Medline, EMBASE, CINAHL, PubMed) was conducted.
  • Studies published between January 1, 2012, and December 31, 2013, were included.
  • Two independent reviewers selected and appraised the articles.

Main Results:

  • Fifty-six feasibility/pilot studies were reviewed.
  • Only three studies reported clear a priori criteria for success.
  • Sixteen studies assessed participant acceptability or burden; 48 studies concluded feasibility.

Conclusions:

  • The terms "feasibility" and "pilot" are often used interchangeably in palliative care research.
  • There is a scarcity of studies with clear success criteria and assessment of participant burden.
  • A need exists for a gold standard in feasibility study design for palliative care research to ensure consistency.
