Abstract:
This study externally validates an established association between baseline health‐related quality of life (HRQOL) scores and survival with pooled individual patient data from Canadian Cancer Trials Group clinical trials, which include survival and baseline HRQOL data from 3606 patients with 8 different cancer sites. In a stratified, multivariate model, HRQOL parameters—global health status, dyspnea, and appetite loss—are independent prognostic factors in addition to the demographic and clinical variables (all P values 〈 .05). This confirms previous findings showing that baseline HRQOL scores on the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Core Quality‐of‐Life Questionnaire provide prognostic information in addition to the information from clinical measures.
