Summary
This summary is machine-generated.This scoping review explores clinical prediction tools for patient-reported outcomes (PROs) in gastrointestinal (GI) cancer patients. It identifies current tools and predictors to improve patient-centered care and quality of life.
Area Of Science
- Oncology
- Health Services Research
- Patient-Reported Outcomes
Background
- Gastrointestinal (GI) cancers significantly impact global health, necessitating improved patient-centered care.
- Effective management of patient-reported outcomes (PROs) is crucial for enhancing quality of life and survival in cancer patients.
- Current understanding and clinical integration of PROs in GI cancer care require further development.
Purpose Of The Study
- To conduct a scoping review of clinical prediction tools for PROs and quality of life in GI cancer patients.
- To identify existing tools, their predictors, and outcomes.
- To evaluate the clinical usability and equity considerations of these prediction tools.
Main Methods
- A scoping review methodology guided by JBI and Arksey/O'Malley frameworks.
- Inclusion of studies on adult patients with primary GI cancer developing or validating prediction tools for PROs or quality of life.
- Systematic literature search of Ovid Medline, Embase, and CINAHL (1946-2024) with ongoing updates and hand-searching.
Main Results
- Data extraction will focus on tool characteristics, predictors, statistical methods, and equity.
- Findings will be synthesized descriptively to map trends and identify research gaps.
- The review will highlight areas for future research in GI cancer PRO prediction.
Conclusions
- This review will provide a comprehensive overview of clinical prediction tools for PROs in GI cancer.
- It aims to inform the development and application of tools supporting patient-centered care.
- The findings will guide future research and clinical practice to improve outcomes for GI cancer patients.
