Relevance of Patient-Reported Outcome Measures in Patients with Cancer: Detection of Underrated Psychological Distress of Palliative Care Patients in an Outpatient Setting.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background: The overall level of physical and psychological symptom burden of advanced cancer patients (ACP) in an outpatient setting is notoriously difficult to assess. Therefore, more efficient and objective assessment is needed to accomplish this important task. Objectives: The aim of this study was to compare the physical and psychological symptom burden rated by palliative care nurse (PCN) versus patient's self-rating. Design: This retrospective German cohort study analyzed symptom burden using an electronic patient-reported outcome measure (ePROM). After referral to an outpatient specialized palliative care team, a PCN assessed the patient's symptoms both up to three months before initial presentation (IP) and at IP.Group differences were identified using analyses of variance (ANOVA). Further descriptive analysis of patient characteristics was used. Subjects: The study enrolled 164 ACP who were referred to a specialized palliative care (SPC) team. Mean age was 62 (± 12.6) years. Gastrointestinal ( Results: Most frequent reasons for referral were pain ( Conclusion: ACP in an outpatient setting were more frequently referred to SPC for pain management and assistance with social problems with regard to the cancer and its limitations. Psychological distress was underrated by the PCN in comparison with patient self-reporting through ePROM. This underlines the importance of self-reported outcome measurement.
