abstract = {The implementation of self-reported outcome measurements
into clinical routine was tested to help facilitate early
access to palliative care (PC) for glioblastoma
(GBM)-patients. Measures detail PC symptoms and concerns and
caregiver burden. Between January 2014 and December 2016, a
total of 337 GBM-patients were discussed during meetings of
the neuro-oncology tumor board to examine further treatment
options. Each patient, along with their caregivers, was
requested to participate in self-assessment using the
palliative outcome scale (POS) and the Zarit Burden
Interview (ZBI). Analyses encompassed summary statistics,
non-parametric tests, visual graphic analysis, content
analysis and assessing the utilization of the specialized PC
consulting service (SPCCS). Ninety-five $(28\%)$
GBM-patients and 71 $(21\%)$ caregivers completed the
self-assessment. Of these, 20 patients and 12 caregivers
repeated the assessment at least once more during follow-up.
POS total scores were similar in the group of patients with
initial diagnosis [10 (0–31)] and those with later disease
stages like recurrent diagnosis [9 (0–25)], but ZBI total
scores differed [14 (0–51) vs. 24 (2–62)]. Single item
analysis demonstrated that anxiety and worries about the
future predominated. Caregivers were torn between high
engagement in caring and feeling overburdened. Still,
requests for the SPCCS showed no increase. Actual
implementation of measures like POS and ZBI for detecting PC
concerns and caregiver burden with GBM-patients in the field
remains challenging as indicated by the limited response
rate and lack of increased requests for the SPCCS. Modified
clinical routines including strengthening awareness of PC,
and allowing proxy-assessment might help to overcome
barriers},
