What was measured
Quality of Life (QOL) was measured using the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-General (FACT-G) on a 0-108 scale, with lower scores corresponding to worse overall QOL and higher scores corresponding to better overall QOL. Change from baseline to week-12 was calculated by subtracting the baseline scores from the scores at week-12. Higher scores on FACT-G indicate better QOL.
Analysis population: Only participants with available data on the individual study measure at baseline and 12 weeks were included in the analysis.
Groups in this outcome
Arm 1 (Early Palliative Care)
Patients receive early palliative care and standard oncology care. Patients and family caregivers will be asked to complete quality-of-life questionnaires at weeks 6, 12, and 24. Survival follow-up will be every 4 months from week 24 until death or up to 3 years.
Arm 2 (Usual Care)
Patients receive standard oncology care. Patient and family caregiver will be asked to complete self-report questionnaires at weeks 6, 12, and 24. Survival follow-up will be every 4 months from week 24 until death or up to 3 years. Palliative care visit only upon request from attending oncologist(s) or patient/family.
