   Web-Based PROM Monitoring During Radiotherapy

   description

   Participants undergoing radiotherapy use a web-based application to complete standardized electronic questionnaires weekly during radiotherapy and prior to scheduled follow-up visits after treatment. Responses are categorized using a traffic-light system to guide clinical actions and improve management of radiotherapy-related complications.

   Prediction of Radiotherapy-Related Adverse Effects Using Electronic Patient-Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs)

   timeFrame

   From baseline (start of radiotherapy) through 2 years after completion of radiotherapy.

   description

   The predictive validity of electronic patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) for radiotherapy-related adverse effects will be evaluated. Patient-reported symptom severity will be assessed using the Patient-Reported Outcomes version of the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (PRO-CTCAE). PRO-CTCAE items are scored on a 5-point numeric scale ranging from 0 to 4 (minimum value = 0; maximum value = 4), where: 0 = none 1. = mild 2. = moderate 3. = severe 4. = very severe Higher scores indicate greater symptom severity (worse outcome). Physician-reported toxicity will be assessed using the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE), version 5.0, graded from 1 to 5 (minimum value = 1; maximum value = 5), where higher grades indicate more severe toxicity. Agreement and association between PRO-CTCAE scores and CTCAE grades will be analyzed to determine the predictive performance of electronic PROM monitoring.
