Arms and outcomes
Arms (0)
[]Primary outcomes (1)
- measure
- Dichotomy Index (I<O)
- timeFrame
- 7 days.
- description
- Compares the amount of activity of the patient when in bed to when the patient is out of bed. An actigraphy-derived percentage of the activity counts, measured when the patient is in bed, that are inferior to (lower than) the median of the activity counts measured when the patient is out of bed.
Secondary outcomes (2)
- measure
- r24
- timeFrame
- upto 7 days
- description
- An actigraphy-derived 24hr correlation coefficient that reports on how reproducible the patient's activity is every 24 hours.
- measure
- mean or average activity
- timeFrame
- 7 days.
- description
- calculated as the average number of wrist movements per minute throughout the recording time

Exclusion Criteria: * Inpatients. * Age \< 18 years. * Diagnosis of local (non-advanced) cancer. * Curative treatment available. * Presence of a physical disability that affects daytime activity (e.g. metastatic spinal cord compression). * Presence of a physical disability that affects movement of the non-dominant arm (e.g. lymphoedema). * Cognitive impairment (clinical judgement).
