The utility of abbreviated patient ‐reported outcomes for predicting survival in early stage colorectal cancer

CONCLUSIONSAlthough most patients described good overall health and QOL and indicated that they were generally well supported, patients who experienced more pronounced fatigue or lacked emotional support had a higher likelihood of worse OS and DSS. These findings suggest that abbreviated PROs can inform and assist clinicians to identify patients who have a worse prognosis and may need more vigilant follow‐up.
