Development and validation of the self-report symptom inventory of immune-related adverse events in patients with lung cancer.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

This study aims to develop and validate the Self-Report Symptom Inventory of immune-related Adverse Events in Patients with Lung Cancer (SRSI-irAEs-LC) to allow for systematic assessment of symptomatic irAEs in patients with lung cancer treated with programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1)/programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs).

Methods

A sequential two-phase mixed-methods study was conducted. In phase I, a draft version of the SRSI-irAEs-LC was constructed through item generation and draft inventory construction. Delphi expert consultation, cognitive interviews and a pilot study were conducted to evaluate the content validity and refine the scale. In phase II, psychometric testing was performed on 512 patients with lung cancer treated
