Adherence to daily electronic symptom screening in pediatric cancer: associations with time, location and pain.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

Regularly collected patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) can facilitate early symptom detection and improve health outcomes. This explorative analysis aimed to investigate PROM adherence and factors associated with daily PROM completion among pediatric cancer patients.

Methods

We analyzed data from a prospective study at the Medical University of Innsbruck in which pediatric patients with cancer treated with chemotherapy completed daily PROMs via a web-based portal (ePROtect).

Results

Fifty patients (42% female) with a median age of 10.7 years (IQR 7.1-15.4) were included in this analysis (ana
