e19586 Feasibility of computer-based self-administered cancer-specific geriatric assessment (SA-CSGA) in older pts w/ gastrointestinal malignancy (GIM) Background: The CSGA (Hurria, JCO 2011) is a brief geriatric assessment consisting of validated measures primarily self-administered using paper format. We developed & tested feasibility of a computer-based SA-CSGA in pts ≥70 yrs w/ GIM. Methods: From 12/2009 - 6/2011, pts ≥70 yrs receiving treatment (rx) for GIM at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute were consented to complete SA-CSGA at baseline (T1= new or change rx) & follow-up (T2 = w/in 4 wks of completing rx). Feasibility endpts are (1) proportion of eligible pts consenting; (2) proportion completing SA-CSGA at T1 & T2; (3) time to completion of SA-CSGA; (4) proportion of MDs reporting change in clinical decision-making due to SA-CSGA. Results: Of the 49 eligible pts, 38 consented (55% female, 89% White, 76% enrolling prior to new rx). Mean age was 77yrs (range 70-89), 38% completed college, 49% married, 27% live alone, and 78% retired. 50% were diagnosed w/ colorectal cancer (ca). Mean MD-rated Karnofsky Performance Status was 87.5 at T1(range 60-100), 83.5 at T2 (range 70-100). At T1, 92% used a touch screen computer; 97% completed the SA-CSGA (51% independently). At T2, all pts used a touch screen computer; 71% completed the SA-CSGA (41% independently). Reasons for not completing SA-CSGA were withdrawal of consent (n=1 at T1 & T2), transfer of care (n=3; T2) or death (n=7; T2). The dominant reason for needing assistance was lack of computer familiarity (n=17 T1, n=14 T2). Mean time to completion was 23min at T1 (range 15-58); 20min at T2 (range 13-35). Among the 8 MDs who consented to participate, SA-CSGA added information to clinical assessment for 75% at T1 (n=27) and 65% at T2 (n=17) but did not alter immediate clinical decision-making. Conclusions: The computer-assisted SA-CSGA feasibility endpt was met for older pts w/ GIM although approximately half required assistance. While the SA-CSGA added information to clinical assessment, results did not impact clinical decision-making. Reasons for this may include relatively high-functioning patients enrolled in this study.

Orthographic processing – the ability to perceive, access, differentiate, and manipulate orthographic knowledge – is essential when learning to recognize words. Despite its critical importance in literacy acquisition, the field lacks a tool to assess this essential cognitive ability. The goal of this study was to design a computer-based assessment of orthographic processing and investigate its psychometric properties. The rationale for designing specific items was discussed, methods used to separate orthographic processing from word recognition and spelling ability were presented, and item suitability was examined. Person separation reliability was .91 for this assessment. Validity evidence was gathered and reported.

AbstractObjectives:This study aimed to assess head and neck cancer patient satisfaction with the use of a touch-screen computer patient-completed questionnaire for assessing Adult Co-morbidity Evaluation 27 co-morbidity scores prior to treatment, along with its clinical reliability.Methods:A total of 96 head and neck cancer patients were included in the audit. An accurate Adult Co-morbidity Evaluation 27 co-morbidity score was achieved via patient-completed questionnaire assessment for 97 per cent of participants.Results:In all, 96 per cent of patients found the use of a touch-screen computer acceptable and would be willing to use one again, and 62 per cent would be willing to do so without help. Patients were more likely to be willing to use the computer again without help if they were aged 65 years or younger (χ2test;p= 0.0054) or had a performance status of 0 or 1 (χ2test;p= 0.00034).Conclusion:Use of a touch-screen computer is an acceptable approach for assessing Adult Co-morbidity Evaluation 27 scores at pre-treatment assessment in a multidisciplinary joint surgical–oncology clinic.

Assessment Measures

The clinical utility and psychometric properties of computer-based neuropsychological assessment measures have been widely discussed in the literature. Regardless of the outcomes of scholarly debates regarding these issues, computerized baseline testing of athletes has become a hallmark (if not “de rigeur”) component of concussion management programs. The current chapter discusses issues related to the equivalency of computer-based and paper-based neurocognitive assessment, methodological issues related to the use of computer-based neurocognitive assessments, and hardware and software issues related to the use of computer-based neurocognitive assessments.
