Brief Title: Risk Stratification for Patients With Hospital-diagnosed Advanced Lung Cancer
Official Title: Development of an Enhanced Risk Stratification System for Patients With Hospital-diagnosed Advanced Lung Cancer
Study ID: NCT05722847
Brief Summary: This study explores whether supportive care interventions that might reduce rehospitalization could be implemented and feasible, in subjects within a high-risk group of subjects with newly diagnosed hospitalized advanced lung cancer (ALC). This study screened 50 subjects from health records and consented to 15 of these screened subjects. These 15 subjects responded to PRO questionnaires.
Detailed Description: Subjects will be considered high risk if they have small cell histology, longer than 8 days hospitalization, high comorbidity, emergency department use or hospitalization in the previous 6 months, prescription of a wheelchair on hospital discharge, or Black and/or Hispanic race. Supportive care interventions such as navigation and palliative care will be recommended for this group. All hospitalized subjects with newly diagnosed ALC will be offered web- or telephone-based patient-reported outcome (PRO) symptom monitoring for 90 days following hospital discharge if they provide consent. Medical record evaluation of consented subjects will provide data for risk assessment and the high-risk group definition. Healthcare utilization including emergency department visits, hospitalizations, outpatient palliative care, and cancer treatment received will be compared.
