Trial summary

The goal of Arabic patient-reported outcome measures during radiotherapy for head and neck cancer is to test the patient-reported outcome measure (PROM) tools. PROM tools are not validated cross-culturally in Arabic-speaking patient populations, which limits their use in our clinical setting. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Arabic Patient-reported Outcome Measures During Radiotherapy for Head and Neck Cancer: a Validation Study

The goal of Arabic patient-reported outcome measures during radiotherapy for head and neck cancer is to test the patient-reported outcome measure (PROM) tools. PROM tools are not validated cross-culturally in Arabic-speaking patient populations, which limits their use in our clinical setting. Validation of these PROM tools will allow clinicians to identify the concerns related to our patient population and measure the outcome of our interventions. Main objectives are:

  • To further validate (cross-culture) the PROM instruments related to head and neck cancer (HNC) in Arabic patients.
  • To investigate the prevalence and severity of the patient-reported concerns and their relevance with demographics and clinical characteristics.

The participants will be given tasks to complete 6 tools survey before, during, and after radiotherapy.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Summated Xerostomia Inventory (SXI)

    The study aimed to assess the validity (face, content and construct) and reliability (internal consistency and test-retest) of this inventory in patients who received radiotherapy for head and neck cancer. These will be conducted in line with COnsensus-based Standards for the selection of health Measurement INstruments (COSMIN) guidelines.

    Measured: 24 months

  2. Patient-Reported Oral Mucositis Symptom (PROM) scale

    The study aimed to assess the validity (face, content and construct) and reliability (internal consistency and test-retest) of this inventory in patients who received radiotherapy for head and neck cancer. These will be conducted in line with COnsensus-based Standards for the selection of health Measurement INstruments (COSMIN) guidelines.

    Measured: 24 months

  3. The Arabic University of Washington questionnaire (UW-QOL v4)

    The study aimed to assess the validity (face, content and construct) and reliability (internal consistency and test-retest) of this inventory in patients who received radiotherapy for head and neck cancer. These will be conducted in line with COnsensus-based Standards for the selection of health Measurement INstruments (COSMIN) guidelines.

    Measured: 24 months

  4. The Arabic Brief Fatigue Inventory (ArBFI)

    The study aimed to assess the validity (face, content and construct) and reliability (internal consistency and test-retest) of this inventory in patients who received radiotherapy for head and neck cancer. These will be conducted in line with COnsensus-based Standards for the selection of health Measurement INstruments (COSMIN) guidelines.

    Measured: 24 months

  5. Patient Concerns Inventory - Head and Neck (PCI-HNC)

    The study aimed to assess the validity (face, content and construct) and reliability (internal consistency and test-retest) of this inventory in patients who received radiotherapy for head and neck cancer. These will be conducted in line with COnsensus-based Standards for the selection of health Measurement INstruments (COSMIN) guidelines.

    Measured: 24 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. To investigate the prevalence and severity of the patient-reported concerns and their relevance with demographics and clinical characteristics.

    Descriptive statistics [frequencies with percentage (%) for categorical variables, and the mean (±SD) and median for numerical variables collected] will be used to for patients' demographic and clinical characteristics and study measures using SPSS v.22 (IBM, Armonk, New York). Level of significance will be set at or below 0.05. Correlations between study findings will be assessed using Pearson or Spearman's correlation coefficients - based on normality of data. Regression analyses for patient characteristics and measurement variables.

    Measured: 24 months
