Predictors of receiving survivorship care plans and visits.

View through CrossRef
12055 Background: While the Commission on Cancer has eliminated strict quotas for accreditation, Survivorship Care Plans (SCPs) and/or Survivorship Care Visits (SCV) at treatment completion are encouraged. However, who receives a SCP or SCV, whether it impacts care, and impact of distress on care is unknown. We examined the provision of survivorship care at the Lifespan Cancer Institute (LCI) to determine (1) clinical and distress thermometer scores (DTS) association with SCPs and SCVs; (2) impact of SCV visits on specialty referrals, and (3) demographic and clinical predictors of receipt of SCP and SCV. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed EMR records on 1,960 patients at LCI between 2014-2017 for SCPs and SCVs and extracted demographics, treatment variables, and distress scores. We used T-test or Wilcoxon rank test and Chi-square tests for evaluating the bivariate associations of SCP and SCV with continuous and categorical factors respectively. We fit logistic regression models to assess the adjusted effect of these factors on receipt of SCP and SCV independently. All analyses were performed in R v4.0.2. Results: The mean age was 63.9 (SD=11.8), 67% were female, 51.2% were married or partnered. Breast (38.8%), lung (17.6%), and prostate (13.7%) were the most common cancers. DTS were recorded in 64% with mean of 3.88(SD=3.05): distress was higher in women (4.36, SD=3.01), breast cancer pts (4.53, SD=3.07), gyn (4.22, SD=3.07), pancreatic (4.12, SD=3.41) and anal cancers (4.52, SD=3.47) and in those with Stage IV disease (5.33, SD=3.43). SCPs were completed in 740 (37.8%) patients and of those 65.9% had a SCV. SCV were associated with more specialty referrals for psychiatry, physical therapy, nutrition, and sexual health but not smoking cessation or fiscal services. DTS were associated with increased referral to psychiatry only. The adjusted models (table) showed odds of receiving a SCP were higher in those younger, and having breast cancer v all other cancers, with prostate having lowest odds. For receipt of SCV, odds were higher in those younger, female, and having breast cancer, with prostate and lung having the lowest odds. Conclusions: Gender, age and type of cancer are significant predictors of receipt of SCP and SCV. SCP and SCV patterns may represent patient preferences, but practice patterns and unconscious biases may also play a part suggesting areas for further research and outreach.[Table: see text]
Title: Predictors of receiving survivorship care plans and visits.

However, who receives a SCP or SCV, whether it impacts care, and impact of distress on care is unknown.
We examined the provision of survivorship care at the Lifespan Cancer Institute (LCI) to determine (1) clinical and distress thermometer scores (DTS) association with SCPs and SCVs; (2) impact of SCV visits on specialty referrals, and (3) demographic and clinical predictors of receipt of SCP and SCV.
