             19% of 755 phase 3 cancer trials had changes to the primary end points in the paper compared to the registration. 70% of those were not disclosed in the paper. Changes were associated with likelihood of a positive outcome (OR=1.86).  https://t.co/5Jh9qWyGmb

             But we did identify a few important gaps, which we hope YOU will fill! These include reviews on: 1️⃣ digital health for older cancer survivors 2️⃣ interventions to support oncology provider well-being 3️⃣ economic impacts of digital health on cancer care ➕and more…

             Most reviews focused on: ✅cancer patients during active treatment/survivorship ✅eHealth, telephone/video calls, &/or apps Most reviews concluded that the interventions were feasible & effective, yet more robust & larger-scale testing was needed. 🤷♀️ Not terribly surprising!

             First, the basics: ➡️We found 134 reviews (😱) on digital health and telehealth interventions from across the cancer care continuum ➡️We characterized WHO interventions targeted, HOW interventions were delivered, whether IMPLEMENTATION outcomes were addressed, & (much!) more

             So much FOMO on missing #SBM2023 this week! Not least because our scoping review of reviews completed with the support of the @SBMCancerSIG was published today in @LancetDigitalH ! Since I’m not there to gush over this in the hallways with you, a brief thread below: 
           NEW Review from Kelly Shaffer and colleagues: “#DigitalHealth and #telehealth in cancer care: a scoping review of reviews”. @kellymshaffer1 Read it here:  https://t.co/5UDt7hcJvF

             I’ll touch on: ✅ The problem of sharing individual-level solutions for caregivers to cope with system-wide problems ✅ How curiosity about thoughts-feelings-behaviors can help us ✅ What self-care IS and IS NOT If this sounds intriguing, hope to see you tomorrow 10/28 noon ET!

             Just over a year ago, I read a paper which showed that when private equity buys nursing homes, death rates go up 10%. I was a med student at Stanford, but I halted my studies to investigate. Today, that investigation was published in @NewYorker

              After an investment firm bought St. Joseph’s Home for the Aged, in Richmond, Virginia, the company reduced staff, removed amenities, and set the stage for a deadly outbreak of COVID-19.
