Digital Patient-Reported Assessment in Older Adults With Acute Leukemia

August 4, 2026 updated by: Teresa Bernal del Castillo, Fundación para la Investigación Biosanitaria del Principado de Asturias

Feasibility of a Structured Digital Patient-Reported Assessment Pathway in Older Adults With Acute Leukemia: A Prospective Single-Center Pilot Study

This pilot study will evaluate the feasibility of implementing a structured digital patient-reported assessment pathway in adults aged 65 years or older with acute leukemia. Following activation of the institutional MiAsturSalud/SESPA platform, participants will complete the EORTC QLQ-C30 and FACT-Leu remotely after the baseline visit and will repeat the digital assessment at 3-6 months. The primary outcome will be completion of at least 80% of the baseline digital assessment within 7 days. Secondary outcomes will be caregiver assistance requirement, non-completion of the planned digital follow-up assessment, and elapsed completion time. The study is not designed to establish clinical efficacy.

  • Older Adult

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Age 65 years or older.
  • Confirmed diagnosis of acute leukemia of myeloid or lymphoid origin.
  • Active ambulatory follow-up in the Hematology Service at Hospital Universitario Central de Asturias.
  • Ability to understand the questionnaires and provide their own responses, independently or with practical assistance from a caregiver.
  • Access to a compatible internet-enabled digital device, either personally or through a caregiver.
  • Provision of written informed consent.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Cognitive impairment that, in the treating hematologist's clinical judgment, prevents the participant from understanding the questionnaires or providing their own responses, despite permitted practical assistance from a caregiver.
  • Clinical condition that, in the treating hematologist's judgment, precludes completion of the study procedures.
  • Persistent inability to access or use the MiAsturSalud/SESPA platform despite reasonable technical support.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Digital Patient-Reported Assessment Pathway
Other: Digital Patient-Reported Assessment Pathway
Following activation of the MiAsturSalud/SESPA digital pathway, participants will complete the EORTC QLQ-C30 and FACT-Leu remotely after the baseline visit. The baseline digital assessment will be scheduled within 48-72 hours, with an outcome assessment window extending to 7 days. A second digital assessment will be scheduled at 3-6 months. The platform will record questionnaire completion status and elapsed completion time, and caregiver assistance will be documented. The pathway will not generate automated clinical alerts or mandate changes to treatment.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Feasibility of Digital Implementation
Time Frame: Within 7 days after baseline.
Proportion of participants completing at least 80% of all required items across the EORTC QLQ-C30 and FACT-Leu baseline digital questionnaire battery.
Within 7 days after baseline.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Caregiver Assistance Requirement
Time Frame: Within 7 days after baseline.
Proportion of participants requiring practical caregiver assistance to access or navigate the platform, read questionnaire content or enter responses selected by the participant. Independent proxy completion will not be permitted.
Within 7 days after baseline.
Non-completion of Planned Digital Follow-up Assessment
Time Frame: From baseline to 3-6 months.
Proportion of participants who do not complete the planned digital follow-up assessment at 3-6 months. Reasons for non-completion will be categorised where ascertainable, including voluntary withdrawal, technical difficulties, clinical deterioration, disease progression, hospitalisation, death and loss to follow-up.
From baseline to 3-6 months.
Time Required for Digital Completion
Time Frame: Within 7 days after baseline.
Elapsed time, in minutes, required to complete the baseline digital questionnaires.
Within 7 days after baseline.

Plan for Individual participant data (IPD)

Plan to Share Individual Participant Data (IPD)?

YES

IPD Plan Description

De-identified individual participant data underlying results reported in publications arising from this study, together with the corresponding data dictionary and statistical analysis code, will be available from the principal investigators upon reasonable request. Access will be subject to a methodologically sound proposal, institutional governance review, an appropriate data-use agreement and applicable ethics and data-protection requirements. Owing to the small sample size and risk of re-identification, participant-level data will not be deposited in an openly accessible public repository.

IPD Sharing Time Frame

Beginning 6 months after publication of the principal study results and ending 5 years thereafter.

IPD Sharing Access Criteria

Requests must include a methodologically sound research proposal and will be subject to approval by the principal investigators and relevant institutional governance bodies. Access will require an appropriate data-use agreement and compliance with applicable ethics and data-protection requirements
