Article Synopsis
- The study compares patient-reported outcomes (PROs) for localized prostate cancer at diagnosis across different countries, suggesting that treatment recommendations may vary despite similar patient profiles.
- The analysis included data from 13,483 men across seven regions, using EPIC-26 scores to evaluate differences before treatment based on various approaches like radical prostatectomy and radiotherapy.
- Findings showed significant variation in sexual health scores, while urinary incontinence and bowel domains had higher scores and were more consistent across regions, indicating overall good outcomes in these areas.
Background: There is variation in the care provided to men with metastatic prostate cancer (mPCa). There has been no previous set of quality indicators (QIs) regarding the management of men with mPCa. The objective of this study is to develop a set of international mPCa-specific QIs, which will enable global benchmarking of quality of care.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFSince 2017, the TrueNTH Global Registry (TNGR) has aimed to drive improvement in patient outcomes for individuals with localized prostate cancer by collating data from healthcare institutions across 13 countries. As TNGR matures, a systematic evaluation of existing processes and documents is necessary to evaluate whether the registry is operating as intended. The main supporting documents: protocol and data dictionary, were comprehensively reviewed in a series of meetings over a 10-month period by an international working group.

- - The TrueNTH Global Registry (TNGR), funded by Movember, focuses on improving care for prostate cancer by collecting a consistent dataset to identify variations in disease management and benchmark care against best practices
- - A series of eleven working group sessions involving clinicians and data managers led to a consensus on dashboard design for presenting quality indicators and patient-reported outcomes, utilizing various visual formats like funnel and bubble plots
- - The project emphasized international collaboration and stakeholder involvement in developing a dynamic reporting system, using R Markdown for its strong analytical capabilities and open-source nature to enhance data presentation for better clinical decision-making
Objectives: Prostate cancer is the second most common cause of cancer-related death in males after lung cancer, imposing a significant burden on the healthcare system in Australia. We propose the use of autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) models in conjunction with population forecasts to provide for robust annual projections of prostate cancer.
Design: Data on the incidence and mortality from prostate cancer was obtained from the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare.
