Routine Collection Of Eq-5d-5l Derived Utility Scores In A Brain Metastases Clinic: Correlation With Health-Related Quality Of Life (Fact-Br).

200Background: Brain metastasis is a common occurrence in many cancers. However, with new therapies (stereotactic radiotherapy) and longer survival due to improved systemic therapies, more contemporary estimates of health utility scores (HUS) are required for this specialized cancer population. Further, recent efforts have tried to incorporate routine collection of such data, especially in an era when new radiation and new systemic therapies, especially targeted therapies require such data when undergoing health technology assessments. Methods: In a cross-sectional study design, patients in the specialized brain metastases clinic at Princess Margaret Cancer Centre were approached to complete the Health-related quality of life (HRQoL) tool, FACT-Br, and the EQ-5D-5L (to derived HUS using Canadian reference values) on iPad or paper. In addition, consent was obtained to collect clinico-demographic data from the patient and chart. In addition to descriptive analysis and participation rates, HUS were correlate...
