Identifying unmet needs in cancer survivorship by linking patient-reported outcome measures to the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

Advances in cancer detection and treatment have extended cancer survivors' (CSs) life expectancy, but their evolving health needs remain unmet. This study analyzes 14 patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) for CSs with non-cutaneous cancers using the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) framework. These 14 PROMs are derived from a recent review focusing on the implementation of the routine assessment of unmet needs in cancer survivors.

Methods

Each PROM was examined for correspondence to ICF health and functioning dimensions. Two independent reviewers extracted meaningful concepts from each PROM item, linking them to ICF categories. Discrepancies were resolved through discussion with a third expert reviewer.
