Abstract

OBJECTIVE: A patient's preference may guide their behavior and influence their willingness to take medication or undergo treatment affecting outcomes, such as health-related quality of life, or survival. The importance of understanding patient preferences within oncology is unclear and few adherence studies exist compared with other therapeutic areas. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: This study was designed to review the literature regarding patient preferences, adherence and their link to outcomes specifically in the oncology setting and to propose a theoretical model. An in-depth review was conducted, using Embase, MEDLINE and Cochrane Library databases to search for published data examining patient preference, adherence and oncology-specific outcomes, from 1982-2012. Articles were reviewed independently by two authors and rated for relevance and quality. Information from high-quality articles and discussion with oncology and patient preference experts were used to identify associations between important individual concepts as a basis for a theoretical model. RESULTS: In total, 1362 abstracts were identified. After removal of duplicates and initial review, 1269 were excluded and 93 reviewed in detail. Of these publications, 18 were deemed 'high-quality' and used to develop the final model. Variables associated with patient preference, adherence and outcome were identified. External variables included communication, treatment and mode of administration; patient beliefs and values were identified as cognitive variables; and adherence was attributed as a behavioral variable. Relationships between patient preference, adherence and clinical outcomes were established. Adverse events had a strong relationship with adherence; patient beliefs and values were identified as having a moderating effect on adherence. Adherence behavior had a direct relationship to outcomes. CONCLUSIONS: Improving our understanding of patient preference may improve clinical outcomes in oncology patients. Although the proposed theoretical model is limited, it provides a basis to develop testable hypotheses for the relationships between patient preference, adherence and outcomes specific to oncology.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
