    Abstract: 301 Background: Quality of care for individuals with cancer is affected by the burden on their caregivers. For high quality care, it is important to understand domains of caregiver burden and factors affecting this burden. Methods: Using data from two national surveys, the National Survey of Caregiving (NSOC) linked to the National Health and Aging Trends Survey (NHATS), we identified all participants in the NHATS diagnosed with cancer who had a caregiver participating in the NSOC. Twenty-two items in the NSOC related to caregiver health, mood and outlook were included in factor analysis to develop scales capturing domains of burden. Multivariable regression analyses examined whether activities performed by caregivers and supports for caregivers were associated with these burden scales. Results: Analysis of responses from 245 caregivers of cancer patients identified three scales: emotional burden; psychological burden; and relationship with the patient. Providing assistance managing medical care was associated with increased emotional and psychological burden, while assistance with non-medical issues was increased psychological burden and worsened relationships with patients. Caregiver provision of direct patient care activities was also associated with increased burden but improved relationships with patients. Use of support services showed mixed associations with burden. Conclusions: Using a nationally-representative sample of cancer patients and their caregivers and brief publicly-available survey questions, we present three scales addressing different aspects of caregiver burden that are responsive to caregiver activities and social supports. This may assist in developing and evaluating intervention to decrease caregiver burden and thereby improve quality of care for individuals with cancer.

    Abstract: 12097 Background: Financial hardship is experienced by approximately half of working-age individuals diagnosed with cancer. Many working individuals diagnosed with cancer also experience disruptions with their employment. This study examines whether employment disruptions are associated with financial hardship among individuals diagnosed with cancer in the US. Methods: We utilized data from the 2016/2017 Medical Expenditure Panel Survey (MEPS) Experiences with Cancer self-administered questionnaires and identified individuals diagnosed with cancer at age 〉 18 who worked for pay at the time of or following their cancer diagnosis. Employment disruption was defined as taking extended paid time off work; switching to a part time or less demanding job or to a flexible work schedule; and/or retiring early due to cancer, cancer treatment, or late effects. Financial hardship was defined in 3 domains: material (borrowing money, financial sacrifices, or being unable to cover medical costs); psychological (worrying about medical bills, financial stability, keeping job/income, or future earnings); and behavioral (delaying/forgoing medical care because of cost). Multivariable logistic regression analyses adjusting for the MEPS survey design were used to determine associations of employment disruption due to cancer with any financial hardship and with financial hardship intensity while controlling for patient demographic, health insurance, and clinical characteristics. Results: Among 732 individuals with a cancer history, 47.4% experienced employment disruptions and 55.9% experienced any financial hardship. Financial hardship was significantly more common among cancer survivors with employment disruptions than without disruptions (68.7% vs. 44.5%; p-value of difference 〈 0.0001). Findings were consistent across multiple hardship measures/domains and across years since last cancer treatment. In multivariable logistic regression analyses, cancer survivors with employment disruptions were significantly more likely to have greater (OR = 2.8; 95% CI 2.0, 3.9) financial hardship intensity. Individuals of race/ethnicity other than non-Hispanic White; who had Medicare (vs. private) insurance and were age 〈 65 years old at diagnosis; or had breast, colon, or prostate cancer (vs. melanoma reference group) were also more likely to experience financial hardship. Older individuals and those who were married were less likely to experience financial hardship. Conclusions: Employment disruptions are common and significantly associated with multiple types of financial hardship among cancer survivors. Employer workplace accommodation and other policies to minimize disruptions among individuals diagnosed with cancer may reduce financial hardship in this vulnerable population.

    Abstract: 215 Background: Over 161,000 new prostate cancer patients diagnosed annually, with 75% diagnosed at early stages. Limited evidence exists supporting choice of treatment (including radical prostatectomy, radiation therapy, hormonal therapy, active surveillance or watchful waiting) for localized prostate cancer. Treatments have varying side effects associated with impaired functional status and health-related quality of life. Patient care experiences are important quality indicators, but research examining patient experiences by prostate cancer treatment is limited. The purpose of this study was to examine the association between treatment received (surgery, radiation, or no treatment) and CAHPS ratings of overall care over the prior six months. Methods: This study used data from SEER-CAHPS, which links Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) data with Medicare Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (CAHPS) patient experience survey and Medicare claims data. Medicare Fee-for-Service beneficiaries ≥65 years with a National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) low- or intermediate-risk prostate cancer diagnosis were assigned to surgery only, radiation only, and no treatment received groups for analysis. The outcome variable was a CAHPS rating of overall care (0 = worst; 10 = best). The analysis adjusted for case mix and other cancer-specific variables. Results: The final cohort included 507 prostate cancer survivors (surgery n = 109 [21%]; radiation n = 197 [39%] ; no treatment n = 201 [40%]). Respondents who received radiation rated their overall care higher than those not receiving treatment (adjusted mean 8.9 vs 8.3; p= 0.02). Ratings did not differ significantly between the surgery and no treatment groups. Conclusions: This study represents a first look at patient experiences among localized prostate cancer survivors receiving surgery, radiation, or no treatment. It is not clear whether those who did not receive treatment chose active surveillance or watchful waiting, or whether they did not have access to care, which could have affected results. Future research should explore associations between receipt of treatment and patient care experiences in an adequately powered sample to inform future interventions.

    Abstract: 6595 Background: Care experience ratings are recognized as measures of healthcare quality. Here we introduce a new, public data resource, SEER-CAHPS, which links cancer registry data from the National Cancer Institute’s Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) program with Medicare claims and the Medicare Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (MCAHPS) survey. Methods: The SEER-CAHPS resource includes cancer registry data from 1973-2011 (diagnosis, incidence, mortality, and sociodemographic data), Medicare CAHPS survey data from 1998-2013 (sociodemographic, health status, and care experience ratings), and Medicare fee-for-service (FFS) claims data from 2002-2013. The survey includes global ratings of overall care, personal doctor, specialist, health plan, and prescription drug plans, and composite ratings of doctor communication, care coordination, getting needed care, and getting care quickly. Data also contain survey weights to account for the Medicare CAHPS sampling design. Cross-sectional and longitudinal analyses are possible. Results: Currently, SEER-CAHPS includes 205,339 individuals with a history of cancer documented in SEER (FFS: 26,802 with a survey before cancer diagnosis, and 55,231 with a survey after cancer diagnosis; Medicare Advantage [MA]: 57,227 with a survey before cancer diagnosis and 71,436 with a survey after cancer diagnosis). The data resource also includes 724,965 MCAHPS respondents without cancer in SEER regions (FFS: 282,592; MA: 447,358). The data provide insights on topics including experiences of cancer patients in their last year of life; experiences of cancer survivors; and the associations of guideline-concordant follow-up care with patient experiences among cancer survivors. We will demonstrate project sample-size estimation and present instructions for submitting data access applications. Conclusions: SEER-CAHPS, a new, publicly available resource, provides population-based, cancer-specific data on patient experiences, health outcomes and healthcare utilization.

    Abstract: 80 Background: High-quality EOL care is critical for patients and families. However, little is known about factors influencing patient satisfaction with their healthcare near EOL. This study’s objective is to assess the role of characteristics of individuals with cancer near EOL on their ratings for medical care, health plans, and physicians. Methods: Retrospective analyses of the Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (CAHPS) Medicare Survey linked to NCI’s Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) Program. CAHPS collected Medicare beneficiaries’ ratings for overall care, physicians, health plans, and 5 composite scores of aspects of care; SEER provided data on cancer diagnosis and characteristics. The study included 5,102 Medicare beneficiaries diagnosed with cancer in SEER regions 1997-2011 who completed CAHPS following diagnosis and within one year before death. Logistic regression was used to examine associations of EOL patient characteristics with their ratings. Results: Self-reported very good or excellent (vs. poor) general health significantly (p 〈 0.05) predicted greater likelihood of higher ratings for all measures (ORs ranged 1.5 to 2.2). Very good/excellent mental health also predicted increased likelihood of higher ratings for all except one category (ORs 1.8 to 2.7). Other patient factors were significantly associated with a subset of ratings. For example, Hispanics (vs. Whites) were more likely to provide higher ratings for health plans (OR 1.5) and specialist physicians (OR 1.7) but lower ratings for getting needed care (OR 0.62). Fee-for-service (vs. Medicare Advantage) beneficiaries were more likely to provide higher ratings for health plans, getting needed care, and getting care quickly (ORs 1.4, 1.3, 1.6). Patient age, cancer site, and time since diagnosis had few or no significant associations with any measure. Conclusions: Among cancer patients near EOL, better self-reported general and mental health consistently predicted higher ratings. Fee-for-service Medicare patients provided higher ratings for several important categories. These results may help guide future research on interventions to improve the EOL experience among Medicare beneficiaries.

    Abstract: 303 Background: Limited opportunities exist to conduct population-based surveillance of cancer patient-reported outcomes. Data from the National Cancer Institute’s Surveillance Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) program has recently been linked with data from two Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services quality improvement surveys: the Medicare Health Outcomes Survey (MHOS) and the Medicare Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (CAHPS) surveys. We provide an overview of the data available, recent findings, and priority areas for future research. Methods: Since 1998, the MHOS has conducted 2-wave/biennial surveys of individuals ages 65+ and individuals with disabilities enrolled in Medicare Advantage (MA) health plans on aspects of health-related quality of life, functional status, comorbidities, and symptoms. Fourteen cohorts are available, representing over 126K patients with cancer and over 1.9 million MA enrollees without a history of cancer. The SEER-MHOS publicly available data resource has produced over 40 data use agreements and 19 publications. SEER-CAHPS links cancer registry data with cross-sectional survey data of Medicare beneficiaries (both fee-for-service and MA) that contain information on patient experiences with care, including access to needed and timely care, doctor communication, health plan customer service, and care coordination. The current linkage contains survey data from 1998 to 2010 and includes over 150K and 570K respondents with and without a history of cancer, respectively. Plans to launch the publicly available resource are underway. Results: Recent findings include the impact of diagnosis and treatment on health-related quality of life in older cancer survivors, physical health impairments and variation of treatment received, the impact of cancer on activities of daily living, and variations in care ratings between participants with and without cancer across the cancer control continuum. Conclusions: The SEER-MHOS and SEER-CAHPS linked data resources provide population-based surveillance data on cancer patient-reported outcomes which allow unprecedented opportunities to evaluate national quality improvement activities.

    Abstract: 175 Background: Older adults with cancer and worse self-rated mental health report worse care experiences. We hypothesized that, controlling for health and demographic characteristics, older adults with cancer who received care for anxiety or mood disorders would report better care experiences. Methods: We used SEER-CAHPS data to identify Medicare beneficiaries, aged 66 and over, diagnosed from August 2006 through December 2013 with one of the 10 most prevalent solid tumor malignancies. To identify utilization for anxiety or mood disorders (screening, diagnosis, or treatment), we analyzed inpatient, outpatient, home health, physician, and prescription drug claims from 12 months before through up to 5 years after cancer diagnosis. Outcomes of interest were global care experience ratings (Overall Care, Personal Doctor, and Specialist; rated on a 0-10 scale) and composite measures (Getting Needed Care, Getting Care Quickly, and Doctor Communication; scored from 0-100). We estimated linear regression models and also used a Bayesian Model Averaging approach, adjusting for standard case-mix adjustors (including sociodemographics and self-reported general health and mental health status [MHS]) and other characteristics, including cancer site and stage at diagnosis. We also included interaction terms between mental health care utilization and MHS. Results: Approximately 22% of the overall sample (n = 4,998) had both cancer and a claim for an anxiety or mood disorder, and of those individuals, 18% reported fair/poor MHS. Only 7% of those in the cancer-only cohort reported fair/poor MHS. Before adjusting for mental health utilization, worse MHS was significantly associated with worse experience of care. After accounting for anxiety/mood disorder-related utilization, linear regression models showed no significant associations between fair/poor MHS and worse care experiences, while Bayesian models found that reliable associations remained between worse MHS and lower global ratings of Overall Care and Specialist. Conclusions: Utilization for anxiety/mood disorders mediates the association between fair/poor MHS and worse care experiences. Although MHS is a case-mix adjustor for CAHPS public reporting, it is important to recognize that care for anxiety or mood disorders may improve care experiences am ong seniors with cancer.
