Abstract
Serial symptom assessments using patient-reported outcomes may be challenging to implement in routine clinical practices. We aimed to determine if a single measurement of symptom burden at the time of metastatic diagnosis is associated with survival. We examined baseline patient-reported outcomes (within 90 days of diagnosis) of patients newly diagnosed with metastatic breast, lung, colorectal, or prostate cancer using the revised Edmonton Symptom Assessment System (ESASr) questionnaire. The ESASr was categorized into physical, psychological, and total symptom domains whereby scores were classified as none to mild (0-3) or moderate to severe (4-10). Multivariable Cox proportional hazards models were constructed to evaluate the effect of baseline symptom scores on overall survival. We identified 1316 patients eligible for analysis. There were 181, 601, 240, and 294 patients with breast, lung, colorectal, and prostate cancer, respectively. Approximately one-quarter of all patients reported moderate to severe physical, psychological, and total symptom subscores. On multivariable Cox regression analysis, older age (P < 0.001), male sex (P = 0.002), primary lung cancer (P < 0.001), and smoking in the previous month (P = 0.007) were ...Continue Reading
