Detailed Description
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To measure the rate of adherence to selected Children's Oncology Group (COG)-endorsed supportive care clinical practice guidelines (CPG) recommendations at National Cancer Institute (NCI) Community Oncology Research Program (NCORP) sites. (Aim 1) II. To describe the possible influence of NCORP site size and the number of patients enrolled in COG studies per site on the delivery of CPG-consistent care. (Aim 1a) III. To describe the clinical outcome of episodes during which patients receive CPG-consistent or CPG-inconsistent care. (Aim 1b) IV. To describe facilitators of and barriers to the use of CPGs elicited via focus group interviews with a diverse set of potential users (physician, nurse, nurse practitioner and pharmacists) who provide pediatric cancer care at NCORP sites. (Aim 2) V. To improve how well CPG recommendations are understood by health care providers by refining the CPG recommendation format based on an iterative process of cognitive interviewing and formatting revisions. (Aim 3)
OUTLINE:
AIM 1 (CHART REVIEW): Patients are separated for each CPG evaluated (fever and neutropenia [FN], chemotherapy induced nausea and vomiting [CINV], fertility preservation [FP]) and are randomly selected for medical chart review. Patients with eligible episodes of FN, CINV or FP within the health records are selected and have the data from their records abstracted and reviewed by COG for adherence to COG endorsed CPGs.
AIM 2 (FOCUS GROUPS): Health care providers who provide direct care to pediatric oncology patients are identified and separated to participate in three types of focus groups: physician-only, non-physician, and mixed.
AIM 3 (INTERVIEWS): Health care providers undergo one-on-one interviews consisting of think aloud technique (TAL) of cognitive interviewing.

Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
The proportion of clinical practice guidelines (CPG)-consistent care of fever and neutropenia (FN) episodes
Time Frame: Care delivered from January 1, 2014 through December 31, 2015 will be evaluated
|
FN will be identified by chart review.
Outcome variable will be the binary endpoint of CPG-consistent versus (vs.)
CPG inconsistent care for each FN episode.
|
Care delivered from January 1, 2014 through December 31, 2015 will be evaluated
|
The proportion of CPG-consistent care of chemotherapy induced nausea and vomiting (CINV) episodes
Time Frame: Care delivered from January 1, 2014 through December 31, 2015 will be evaluated
|
CINV will be identified by chart review.
Outcome variable will be the binary endpoint of CPG-consistent vs. CPG inconsistent care for each CINV episode (separately for high and moderate emetogenicity risk chemotherapy).
|
Care delivered from January 1, 2014 through December 31, 2015 will be evaluated
|
The proportion of CPG-consistent care of fertility preservation (FP) episodes
Time Frame: Care delivered from January 1, 2014 through December 31, 2015 will be evaluated
|
FP will be identified by chart review.
Outcome variable will be the binary endpoint of CPG-consistent vs. CPG inconsistent care for each FP episode.
|
Care delivered from January 1, 2014 through December 31, 2015 will be evaluated
|
Possible influence of National Cancer Institute Community Oncology Research Program site size (Aim 1a)
Time Frame: Care delivered from January 1, 2014 through December 31, 2015 will be evaluated
|
Will be estimated and examined as fixed effect covariates in these generalized linear mixed effect models described above.
|
Care delivered from January 1, 2014 through December 31, 2015 will be evaluated
|
Key coding categories (Aim 2)
Time Frame: Data collected from March 28, 2017 through October 15, 2018 will be evaluated
|
Will be identified by the Framework for Clinical Practice Guideline Implementability.
Operational definitions of each category will be determined.
The implementation barriers and facilitators identified by focus group members will be coded using these categories independently by two investigators.
New categories and sub-categories will be used to code concepts that do not fall within the pre-determined categories.
Themes of commonality will be sought especially within the newly developed categories that fall outside the framework adapted from Gagliardi et al.
Facilitators of and barriers to CPG implementation will be described.
|
Data collected from March 28, 2017 through October 15, 2018 will be evaluated
|
CPG format which is well understood by pediatric oncology healthcare providers (Aim 3)
Time Frame: Data collected from a minimum of 25 interviews starting from February 1, 2019 to the timepoint where a format that is well understood by participants is developed will be evaluated
|
The issues identified via the interviews, changes made to the formatting, and rationale for the changes will be documented between each round in a tracking matrix.
The proportion of interviewees who select the correct course of action when presented with four possible courses of action will be described for each iteration of the CPG format including the final version.
Understanding is defined as the correct interpretation of the course of action recommended or suggested by a CPG.
|
Data collected from a minimum of 25 interviews starting from February 1, 2019 to the timepoint where a format that is well understood by participants is developed will be evaluated
