Electronic symptom monitoring after lung cancer surgery: establishing a core set of patient-reported outcomes for surgical oncology care in a longitudinal cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Electronic symptom monitoring via patient-reported outcome in surgical oncology is limited owing to lengthy instruments and non-specific items in common patient-reported outcome instruments. To establish electronic symptom monitoring through a clinically relevant and fit-for-purpose core set of patient-reported outcome in patients undergoing lung cancer surgery.

Materials and methods

One qualitative (Cohort 1) and two prospective studies (Cohorts 2 and 3) were conducted between 2018 and 2023. Patients undergoing lung cancer surgery were recruited. Items of symptoms and daily functioning were generated through extensive interviews in Cohort 1 and incorporated into a smartphone-based platform to establish the electronic Perioperative Symptom Assessment for Lung surg
