Abstract Purpose Cancer research on sexual and gender minority (SGM) populations is gaining momentum. The purpose of this systematic review was to examine what is currently known in the research literature regarding patient-reported health outcomes after cancer treatment among SGM populations. Methods In March 2021, a medical librarian conducted a systematic keyword search on PubMed, Embase, Scopus, Web of Science, PsycINFO, ClinicalTrials.gov, and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials. The primary inclusion criterion was assessment of at least one physical, psychosocial, emotional, or functional patient-reported health outcome related to the impacts of cancer diagnosis and/or treatment. Articles that met inclusion criteria were reviewed in their entirety, charted in a Word Table, and assessed for quality. Quality considerations included study design, sampling approach, diversity of sample, measures used, and analytic procedures. Studies were synthesized based on type of cancer study participants experienced. Results Sixty-four studies were included in the final analysis: most were quantitative, secondary analyses or cross-sectional studies with convenience samples, and focused on people with a history of breast or prostate cancer. Differences between sexual minority men and women in terms of coping and resilience were noted. Few studies reported on experiences of transgender persons and none reported on experiences of intersex persons. Conclusions A growing literature describes the patient-reported health outcomes of SGM people with a history of cancer. This study summarizes important between-group differences among SGM and heterosexual, cisgender counterparts that are critical for clinicians to consider when providing care. Implications for cancer survivors Sexual orientation and gender identity are relevant to cancer survivors’ health outcomes. Subgroups of SGM people have differential experiences and outcomes related to cancer and its impacts.

Abstract Purpose: Clinical quality registries and other systems that conduct routine post-discharge surveillance of patient outcomes following surgery may have difficulty surveying patients who have limited proficiency in the language of the healthcare provider. Interpreter proxies (family and carers) are often used due to limited access to certified healthcare interpreters (due to cost or availability). The aim of this study was to assess the reliability of engaging interpreter proxies compared with certified healthcare interpreters for the administration of patient-reported health-related surveys for people with limited English proficiency (LEP). Methods: People with LEP and due for a routine 6-month telephone follow-up post knee or hip arthroplasty were invited to participate. Participants were randomly allocated to having their first interview with an interpreter proxy or a certified healthcare interpreter followed by the second (crossover) interview within 2 weeks (range: 4 to 12 days) after the first interview using the alternative method. Agreement between the two methods was assessed using quadratic weighted Cohen's kappa, intraclass correlation and concordance correlation co-efficient where appropriate for EQ-5D health domains, total Oxford hip and knee scores, patient satisfaction, operation success, readmission, reoperation, and post-surgical complication responses. The mean of the differences between the same data items collected by each of the two methods was also calculated. Results: 85 participants (96%) completed the study. There was substantial to excellent inter-rater agreement (kappa=0.69-0.87 and ICCs above 0.74) for all but one measure. The mean differences between family proxy and healthcare interpreter scores for each participant were small, ranging from 0.01 (score range of 1-5) to 0.72 (score range of 0-100). Conclusion: These results suggest that using interpreter proxies is a reliable alternative to certified healthcare interpreters in conducting patient-reported health surveys, potentially making this process easier and cost effective for researchers and registries.

End Stage

Background: A growing population of patients with end-stage heart failure (HF) with reduced ejection fraction has limited treatment options to improve their quality and quantity of life. Although positive inotropes have failed to show survival benefit, these agents may enhance patient-reported health status, that is, symptoms, functional status, and health-related quality of life. We sought to review the available clinical trial data on positive inotrope use in patients with end-stage HF and to summarize evidence supporting the use of these agents to improve health status of patients with end-stage HF. Methods: A literature review of randomized controlled trials examining the use of positive inotropy in HF with reduced ejection fraction was conducted. We searched MEDLINE, SCOPUS, and Web of Science between January 1980 to December 2018 for randomized controlled trials that used as their main outcome measures the effects of inotrope therapy on (1) morbidity/mortality, (2) symptoms, (3) functional status, or (4) health-related quality of life. Inotropes of interest included adrenergic agents, phosphodiesterase inhibitors, calcium sensitizers, myosin activators, and SERCA2a (sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca 2+ -ATPase) modulators. Results: Twenty-two out of 26 inotrope randomized controlled trials measured the effect of inotropes on at least one patient-reported health status domain. Among the 22 studies with patient-related health status outcomes, 11 (50%) gauged symptom response, 15 (68%) reported functional capacity changes, and 12 (54%) reported health-related quality of life measures. Fourteen (64%) of these trials noted positive outcomes in at least one health status domain measured; 11 (79%) of these positive studies used agents that worked through phosphodiesterase inhibition. Conclusions: There has been a lack of standardization surrounding measurement of patient-centered outcomes in studies of inotropes for end-stage HF with reduced ejection fraction. The degree to which positive inotropes can improve patient-reported health status and the adverse risk they pose remains unknown.
