UNASSIGNED: A three-round Delphi study was conducted with a panel of patients with dcSSc. The questionnaire was based on a systematic literature search regarding benefits and harms of four main treatment options in dcSSc: methotrexate, mycophenolate mofetil, cyclophosphamide pulses and stem cell transplantation. Patients were asked to identify information that is essential for making a treatment decision. After the third round, a live, online discussion was held in order to reach consensus on these items and to discuss the content and design of the leaflet. Consensus was defined as ⩾75% agreement among panel members.
UNASSIGNED: Of the 36 patients invited, 78% (n = 28) participated in one or more rounds, 67% (n = 24) completed the first, 69% (n = 25) the second and 75% (n = 27) the third round. In the last round, median age of participants was 51 years (interquartile range, 18) and median disease duration 4 years (interquartile range, 5); 52% were female. Patients had been treated with mycophenolate mofetil (67%), methotrexate (44%), cyclophosphamide (41%), autologous stem cell transplantation (26%), rituximab (4%) or were treatment-naïve (7%). Eight patients joined the live panel discussion. The panel reached consensus on seven benefits (prolonged progression-free survival, improved quality of life, improved daily functioning, improved pulmonary function, improved skin thickness, improved mobility and reduced fatigue) and four harms (treatment-related mortality, infections, cardiac damage, increased risk of cancer) as essential information for decision making. Also a design of a leaflet was made.
UNASSIGNED: This study identified information about treatment options in dcSSc that should be addressed with patients. Our results can be used to develop effective patient information.
UNASSIGNED:对一组dcSSc患者进行了三轮Delphi研究。该问卷是基于关于dcSSc中四个主要治疗方案的益处和危害的系统文献检索:甲氨蝶呤,霉酚酸酯,环磷酰胺脉冲和干细胞移植。要求患者识别对做出治疗决定至关重要的信息。第三轮之后,一个活的,举行在线讨论,以便就这些项目达成共识,并讨论传单的内容和设计。共识被定义为小组成员之间75%的协议。
未经批准:在邀请的36名患者中,78%(n=28)参加了一轮或多轮比赛,67%(n=24)完成了第一,69%(n=25)第二轮和75%(n=27)第三轮。在最后一轮,参与者的中位年龄为51岁(四分位距,18)和中位疾病持续时间4年(四分位距,5);52%为女性。患者接受过霉酚酸酯治疗(67%),甲氨蝶呤(44%),环磷酰胺(41%),自体干细胞移植(26%),利妥昔单抗(4%)或未接受治疗(7%)。八名患者参加了现场小组讨论。小组就七项益处达成共识(延长无进展生存期,提高生活质量,改善日常功能,改善肺功能,改善皮肤厚度,改善流动性和减少疲劳)和四个危害(治疗相关死亡率,感染,心脏损伤,癌症风险增加)作为决策的重要信息。还制作了传单的设计。
UNASSIGNED:本研究确定了有关dcSSc治疗方案的信息,应与患者一起解决。我们的结果可用于开发有效的患者信息。
