    Background: Manual data collection is still the gold standard for disease-specific patient registries. However, CAPRI-3 uses text mining (an artificial intelligence (AI) technology) for patient identification and data collection. The aim of this study is to demonstrate the reliability and efficiency of this AI-driven approach. Methods: CAPRI-3 is an observational retrospective multicenter cohort registry on metastatic prostate cancer. We tested the patient-identification algorithm and automated data extraction through manual validation of the same patients in two pilots in 2019 and 2022. Results: Pilot one identified 2030 patients and pilot two 9464 patients. The negative predictive value of the algorithm was maximized to prevent false exclusions and reached 94.8%. The completeness and accuracy of the automated data extraction were 92.3% or higher, except for date fields and inaccessible data (images/pdf) (10–88.9%). Additional manual quality control took over 3 h less time per patient than the original fully manual CAPRI registry (105 vs. 300 min). Conclusions: The CAPRI-3 patient-identification algorithm is a sound replacement for excluding ineligible candidates. The AI-driven data extraction is largely accurate and complete, but manual quality control is needed for less reliable and inaccessible data. Overall, the AI-driven approach of the CAPRI-3 registry is reliable and timesaving.</p

    Background: Patients with metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) are at risk of symptomatic skeletal events (SSE). Bone health agents (BHA, ie bisphosphonates and denosumab) and new life-prolonging drugs (LPDs) can delay SSEs. The aim of this study is to investigate the use of BHAs in relation to SSEs in treated real-world mCRPC population. Patients and Methods: We included patients from the CAPRI registry who were treated with at least one LPD and diagnosed with bone metastases prior to the start of first LPD (LPD1). Outcomes were SSEs (external beam radiation therapy (EBRT) to the bone, orthopedic surgery, pathologic fracture or spinal cord compression) and SSE-free survival (SSE-FS) since LPD1. Results: One-thousand nine hundred and twenty-three patients were included with a median follow-up from LPD1 of 16.7 months. Fifty-two percent (n = 996) started BHA prior or within 4 weeks after the start of LPD1 (early BHA). In total, 41% experienced at least one SSE. SSE incidence rate was 0.29 per patient year for patients without BHA and 0.27 for patients with early BHA. Median SSE-FS from LPD1 was 12.9 months. SSE-FS was longer in patients who started BHA early versus patients without BHA (13.2 vs. 11.0 months, P =.001). Conclusion: In a real-world population we observed an undertreatment with BHAs, although patients with early BHA use had lower incidence rates of SSEs and longer SSE-FS. This finding was irrespective of type of SSE and presence of risk factors. In addition to LPD treatment, timely initiation of BHAs is recommended in bone metastatic CRPC-patients with both pain and/or opioid use and prior SSE

    Health-related Quality of Life and Pain in a Real-world Castration-resistant Prostate Cancer Population: Results From the PRO-CAPRI Study in the Netherlands

    Background: The purpose of this study was to determine generic, cancer-specific, and prostate cancer-specific health-related quality of life (HRQoL), pain and changes over time in patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) in daily practice. Patients and Methods: PRO-CAPRI is an observational, prospective study in 10 hospitals in the Netherlands. Patients with mCRPC completed the EQ-5D, European Organization for the Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire (EORTC QLQ-C30), and Brief Pain Inventory-Short Form (BPI-SF) every 3 months and European Organization for the Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire-Prostate Cancer Module (EORTC QLQ-PR25) every 6 months for a maximum of 2 years. Subgroups were identified based on chemotherapy pretreatment. Outcomes were generic, cancer-specific, and prostate cancer-specific HRQoL and self-reported pain. Descriptive statistics were performed including changes over time and minimal important differences (MID) between subgroups. Results: In total, 151 included patients answered 873 questionnaires. The median follow-up from the start of the study was 19.5 months, and 84% were treated with at least 1 life-prolonging agent. Overall, patients were in good clinical condition (Eatern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status 0-1 in 78%) with normal baseline hemoglobin, lactate dehydrogenase, and alkaline phosphatase. At inclusion, generic HRQoL was high with a mean EQ visual analog score of 73.2 out of 100. The lowest scores were reported on role and physical functioning (mean scores of 69 and 76 of 100, respectively), and fatigue, pain, and insomnia were the most impaired domai

    Incidence and survival of castration-resistant prostate cancer patients with visceral metastases: results from the Dutch CAPRI-registry

    Get PDF
    Background: The objective of this real-world population study is to investigate incidence and treatment of visceral metastases (VMs) in castration resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) patients and their survival. Methods: CRPC-patients in the CAPRI-registry between 2010 and 2016 were included in the analyses and followed till 2017. Outcomes were proportion of patients radiologically screened for VMs and proportion of patients with VMs at CRPC-diagnosis and at the start of every treatment line. Groups have been created based on location of VMs (lung, liver, or both) at date of first VM diagnosis. The outcome for these groups was overall survival (OS). Statistics included descriptive analyses, Kaplan-Meier method, and Cox proportional hazard regression analysis for survival analyses. Results: Of 3602 patients from the CAPRI registry, 457 patients (12.7%) were diagnosed with VMs during follow-up: 230 patients with liver, 161 with lung, and 66 with both liver and lung metastases. The proportion of patients radiologically screened for VMs increased per treatment line as did the occurrence rate of VMs. However, 80% of patients at CRPC diagnosis to 40% in the 6th line were not screened for VMs at the start of a systemic treatment. Median OS was 8.6 months for patients with liver, 18.3 with lung and 10.9 with both liver and lung metastases (p < 0.001) from date of first VM diagnosis. After correction for prognostic factors patients with lung metastases had significantly better OS than patients with liver metastases (HR 0.650, p = 0.001). Conclusion: This real-world analysis showed that despite the increased rate of radiological staging during follow-up, still 80% to 40% of the patients (CRPC diagnosis to 6th treatment line respectively) were not screened for VMs at the start of a systemic treatment. VMs and location of VMs are key prognostic patient characteristics, impacts survival and have implications for treatment decisions, so routine staging of CRPC-patients is warranted. Clinical trial identification: The CAPRI study is registered in the Dutch Trial Registry as NL3440 (NTR3591)
