Prioritizing the worries of AML patients: Quantifying patient experience using best-worst scaling.
Although patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) experience significant toxicities and poor outcomes, few studies have quantified patients' experience. In this study, a community-centered approach was used to develop an AML-specific best-worst scaling (BWS) instrument involving 13 items in four domains (psychological, physical, decision-making, treatment delivery) to quantify patient worry. A survey of patients and caregivers was conducted using the instrument. Data were analyzed using conditional logistic regression.

Systematic review of caregiver responses for patient health-related quality of life in adult cancer care.
The aim of this review is to help cancer researchers select a validated health-related quality of life tool if they anticipate using proxy-reported data. It concluded that the evidence base is strongest for the EORTC (disease-specific tools), COOP/WONCA (generic tools), and MQOL (end-of-life-specific tools).
