Patient-Proxy Agreement Regarding Health-Related Quality of Life in Survivors with Lymphoma: A Propensity-Score Matching Analysis.

ABSTRACT: Objective: To assess the difference between lymphoma survivors' self- and proxy-reported health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and its association with socioeconomic and health statuses. Methods: The data used in this study were obtained from a nationwide cross-sectional online survey in 2019. Information about participants' demographics, health status and HRQoL were collected. The propensity-score matching (PSM) method was used to control the effect of potential confounders on selection bias. A chi-squared test, one-way analysis of variance, and multiple linear regression models were used to assess the relationship between HRQoL and response type adjusted to respondents' background characteristics. Results: Out of the total 4400 participants, data of 2350 ones were elicited for analysis
