BACKGROUNDComorbidities are present in more than two-thirds of cancer patients, and the care and prognosis of those patients is negatively affected by the presence of those comorbidities1. The presence of severe comorbidities, including cardiovascular disease and liver disease, significantly decreases the 5 year survival rate of cancer patients. This is due to a patient’s ability to handle that disease or their ability to handle certain cancer treatments2.Due to their significant impact on clinical outcomes, comorbidities must be considered in cancer research. The Adult Comorbidity Evaluation-27 (ACE-27) is a validated tool used to grade comorbidities in cancer patients on a scale of 0 (no comorbidity) to 3 (severe comorbidity) at the time of diagnosis3. At present it is a paper-based system making its use cumbersome and error-prone when transferring data into an electronic environment for analysis.

PURPOSE AND METHODS

The purpose of this project was to develop an electronic platform of the ACE-27 to aid a cancer study. In order to build the platform, Research Electronic Data Capture (REDCap) was utilized. REDCap is a secure, web-based data capture platform for building and managing online surveys and databases. The REDcap Consortium is composed of over 1000 active institutional partners. The REDCap Shared Library is a curated repository of validated data collection instruments used by researchers in REDCap affiliated institutions. At present, an ACE-27 data collection instrument does not exist in the library. REDCap’s form creation capability was used to create an ACE-27 data collection instrument. The instrument displays 27 fields, each a multiple choice displaying comorbidity conditions from most to least severe. Data collectors are instructed to select the present comorbidity in the patient’s chart and to choose the least severe condition in the case of ambiguity. Internal coding was used in an embedded calculation to determine the overall comorbidity score upon data entry. This allows for data exported from REDCap to include the overall score without manual computations.

RESULTS

Through this project, we have created an electronic platform of the ACE-27 to be used in a cancer study and is currently under review for inclusion in the REDCap Shared Library. Data collectors will now be able to enter data from several locations to be stored in one, secure location. Data exported from the ACE-27 collection instrument will contain a calculated score, simplifying downstream analysis.
