- description
- The answer to the question #4, "How long do you think this patient will live?" in the questionnaire is the primary endpoint. Denoting the oncologist estimated OS time from the day of palliative care consult to death by TOnc, palliative care physician estimate by TPalliative, and the true OS time by T0, we define the accuracy of the estimation of OS by oncologists and by palliative care physician as ΔOnc = TOnc - T0 ΔPalliative = TPalliative - T0. And the difference between these two estimates is calculated as ΔOS = ΔOnc - ΔPalliative. Based on the above formulas, ΔOS is actually calculated as (TOnc- TPalliative). The true survival time, T0, is cancelled out by the subtraction.
