Advancing the Development of Patient-reported Outcomes for Adult Myositis at OMERACT 2016: An International Delphi Study.

ABSTRACT: OBJECTIVE:To define a set of core patient-reported domains and respective instruments for use in idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIM). Previously, we reported a systematic literature review on patient-reported outcomes (PRO) in IIM followed by conducting international focus groups to elicit patient perspectives of myositis symptoms and effects. METHODS:Based on qualitative content analysis of focus groups, an initial list of 26 candidate domains was constructed. We subsequently conducted an international modified Delphi survey to identify the importance of each of the 26 domains. Participants were asked to rate each domain on a scale of 0-10 (0 = not important, 10 = very important). RESULTS:In this first round of the Delphi survey, 643 patients participated from the United States (n = 543), Sweden (n = 49), and South Korea (n = 51). Of the 26 domains, 19 (73%) were rated of high importance (? 7/10). The top 5 domains were muscle symptoms, fatigue, interactions with healthcare, medication side effects, and pain. During Outcome Measures in Rheumatology (OMERACT) 2016, we discussed the goal for ultimate reduction in the number of domains and the importance of considering representation of healthcare providers from other specialties, caregivers, representatives of pharmaceutical industries, and regulatory authorities in the next rounds of Delphi to represent broader perspectives on IIM. CONCLUSION:Further prioritization and a reduction in the number of domains will be needed for the next Delphi. At the next biennial OMERACT meeting, we aim to present and seek voting on a Myositis Preliminary PRO Core Set to enable ultimate measure selection and development.

Project description:This study provides the first objective data documenting neurocognitive impairment in long-term survivors of childhood osteosarcoma.To examine neurocognitive, neurobehavioral, emotional, and quality-of-life outcomes in long-term survivors of childhood osteosarcoma.Cross-sectional cohort study at an academic research hospital, with prospective treatment and chronic health predictors. Outcome data were collected from June 2008 to August 2014. Data analysis was completed in April 2015. Survivors of osteosarcoma recruited from the St Jude Lifetime Cohort Study were compared with community controls.Neurocognitive function, neurobehavioral symptoms, emotional distress, and quality of life. Outcomes were examined in relation to pharmacokinetic indices of methotrexate exposure and current chronic health conditions, which were assessed through medical examination and coded according to Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events, Version 4.03.Eighty survivors of osteosarcoma (mean [SD] age, 38.9 [7.6] years; time since diagnosis, 24.7 [6.6] years; 42% female) were compared with 39 community controls (age, 39.0 [11.7] years; 56% female). Survivors demonstrated lower mean scores in reading skills (-0.21 [95% CI, -0.32 to -0.10] vs 0.05 [95% CI, -0.13 to 0.23]; P =?.01), attention (-0.78 [95% CI, -1.32 to -0.24] vs 0.24 [95% CI, -0.07 to 0.55]; P =?.002), memory (-0.24 [95% CI, -0.48 to 0] vs 0.27 [95% CI, -0.08 to 0.62]; P =?.01), and processing speed (-0.15 [95% CI, -0.35 to 0.05] vs 0.74 [95% CI, 0.44 to 1.03]; P <?.001). Results of pharmacokinetic analysis showed that high-dose methotrexate maximum plasma concentration (estimate = 0; P =?.48), median clearance (estimate =?-0.11; P =?.76), and median/cumulative exposure (estimate = 0; P =?.45) were not associated with neurocognitive outcomes. Any grade 3 or 4 Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events cardiac, pulmonary, or endocrine condition was associated with poorer memory (t = 2.93; P =?.006) and slower processing speed (t?=?3.03; P?=?.002). Survivor-reported poor general health was associated with decreased sustained attention (estimate = 0.24; P =?.05) and processing speed (estimate = 0.34; P =?.005).Long-term survivors of osteosarcoma are at risk for neurocognitive impairment, which is related to current chronic health conditions and not to original treatment with high-dose methotrexate. Prospective longitudinal studies are needed to identify onset and progression of impairment to inform optimal interventions.
