Ovarian cancer study dropouts had worse health‐related quality of life and psychosocial symptoms at baseline and over time
Abstract
Participant drop out is a major barrier to high‐quality patient‐reported outcome (PRO) data analysis in cancer research as patients with worsening health are more likely to dropout. To test the hypothesis that ovarian cancer patients with worse PROs would drop out earlier, we examined how patients differed by time of dropout on health‐related quality of life (HRQOL), anxiety, depression, optimism and insomnia.
