364PUsing the patient-reported outcomes measurement information system (PROMIS) to investigate symptom burden enrichment in stage IV patients at an academic center

ConclusionsPROMIS scores indicate that stage IV patients have impaired quality of life in multiple domains. Reference values for demographic groups provide improved guidance in tailoring supportive care referrals. Anxiety emerged as one of the biggest drivers of impairment of other physical, mental, and social functions and thus increased priority addressing anxiety early will likely correspond with improved symptom burden. Our analysis on quality of life will also help determine appropriate thresholds of intervention to trigger referrals and manage a patient ’s quality-of-life trajectory more systematically.Legal entity responsible for the studyAthena Breast Health Network.FundingAthena Breast Health Network, University of California, San Francisco.DisclosureAll authors have declared no conflicts of interest.
