The Role of Electronic Patient-Reported Outcome Measures in Assessing Smoking Status and Cessation for Patients with Lung Cancer.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Smoking cessation following lung cancer diagnosis is recommended to improve patient outcomes. Electronic Patient Reported Outcome Measures (ePROMs) may be useful for identifying and facilitating cessation support in patients that continue to smoke after a cancer diagnosis. The primary aim was to investigate the level of agreement between clinician-reported and self-reported patient smoking status during the first visit to a cancer centre (I). Secondary aims included investigating differences between cancer-specific characteristics between never smokers and current/ex-smokers (IIA), and the self-reported frequency of smoking cessation after diagnosis of lung cancer (IIB).

Methods

Retrospective single-centre study carried out at a tertiary cancer centre in the UK.
