Abstract

Background: Patient-reported outcome (PRO) measures lead to improved quality of life in cancer patients and possibly to earlier detection of tumor recurrence.

Objective: Patient interest in complementing tumor follow-up care with apps for recording PROs was assessed using a questionnaire.

Materials and methods: An independently created questionnaire to record the interest of tumor patients in a digitalized form of tumor follow-up care was evaluated (n = 110).

Results: In the study, the majority of tumor patients were interested in using an app for tumor disease. Taking age into account, the number increased even further for patients < 60 years of age, as expected. In line with this, human papillomavirus (HPV)-positive patients showed significantly greater interest (p = 0.021).

Conclusion: The introduction of an app is supported by the majority of tumor patients. In addition to recording PROs, other applications (appointment reminders, patient files, sports/nutrition programs) could also be integrated.

[数字应用程序在头颈部肿瘤患者随访中的接受度]。

背景：患者报告结果（PRO）测量可提高癌症患者的生活质量，并有可能提早发现肿瘤复发：患者报告结果（PRO）测量可提高癌症患者的生活质量，并有可能更早地发现肿瘤复发：通过问卷调查评估了患者对使用记录PROs的应用程序补充肿瘤随访护理的兴趣：独立制作的调查问卷记录了肿瘤患者对数字化肿瘤随访护理的兴趣（n = 110）：在研究中，大多数肿瘤患者对使用肿瘤疾病应用程序感兴趣。考虑到患者的年龄，这一数字进一步上升：大多数肿瘤患者都支持使用应用程序。除了记录 PROs 之外，还可以整合其他应用程序（预约提醒、患者档案、运动/营养程序）。
