Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This quality improvement project will evaluate the implementation of a previously described intervention (twice per week on-treatment clinical evaluations) in a feasible fashion using a previously described machine learning algorithm identifying patients identified at high risk for an emergency visit or hospitalization during radiation therapy.

Study Design

Understand how the trial is structured, including allocation methods, masking strategies, primary purpose, and other design elements.

Allocation Method

RANDOMIZED

Intervention Model

PARALLEL

Participants identified by the machine learning (ML) algorithm as high risk were randomized to either once weekly or twice weekly clinical evaluations
Primary Study Purpose

SUPPORTIVE_CARE

Blinding Strategy

NONE

The ML directed twice-weekly evaluation arm was unblinded. Participants and providers were blinded to ML identification of high risk participants in the once weekly evaluation (standard of care) arm.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Once weekly clinical evaluation

Outpatient participants evaluated as high risk by the machine learning algorithm and provided once weekly clinical evaluations

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Machine learning algorithm

Intervention Type OTHER

machine learning directed identification of radiotherapy or chemoradiotherapy patients at high-risk for emergency department acute care and/or hospitalization

Twice weekly clinical evaluation

Outpatient participants evaluated as high risk by the machine learning algorithm and provided twice weekly clinical evaluations

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Machine learning algorithm

Intervention Type OTHER

machine learning directed identification of radiotherapy or chemoradiotherapy patients at high-risk for emergency department acute care and/or hospitalization
