Abstract P3-03-24: The WISDOM Study: Early Ascertainment of Breast Cancer Diagnoses by Utilizing Self-Reported Questionnaires and Data Warehouse Electronic Health Records

BACKGROUND WISDOM (Women Informed to Screen Depending on Measures of risk) is a pragmatic trial comparing the safety, efficacy, cost, and patient acceptability of personalized versus annual breast cancer screening in women ages 40-74 years with no personal history of breast cancer. Cancer registry reporting is considered the gold standard for ascertaining cancer diagnosis data; however, the time lag between diagnosis and reporting (1-2 years or more) by the California Cancer Registry (CCR) presents challenges. The WISDOM study must quickly ascertain and report accurate cancer diagnoses to the Data Safety Monitoring Board; delays could lead to preventable harm, unnecessary costs, and unwarranted early trial termination. To ascertain cancer diagnoses in a timely manner, we used multiple data collection methods and compared self-reported with Electronic Health Records (EHR) information, and in some cases verified with chart review. Specifically, we conducted a procedural study with WISDOM participants who sought care at a University of California (UC) health system by extracting their data from the University of California Data Warehouse (UCDW) to 1) verify self-reported breast cancer diagnoses in WISDOM; 2) ensure that all on-study breast cancer diagnoses have been captured within the WISDOM study cohort; and 3) assess the accuracy and reliability of self-reported data. The UCDW provides harmonized EHR data from the six University of California (UC) health systems and constitutes ~120 billion data points from 7.8 million patient records. METHODS We provided the UCDW with a list of WISDOM participants who indicated they had sought care from a UC health system. Participants with recorded breast cancer diagnostic code (ICD-10CM C50.) were matched with the WISDOM self-reported cancer dataset to uncover participants who had no recorded breast cancer diagnosis in the study system. For those individuals with no recorded self-report diagnosis, coordinators conducted manual chart review to determine whether the participants had been diagnosed with breast cancer. RESULTS This cohort included 11,314 enrolled WISDOM participants who self-reported care at a UC and had at least one diagnostic or procedural breast care code. Among these participants, 160 had a ICD-10-CM C50 breast cancer diagnostic code of which 132 breast cancer cases were confirmed: 111 were already self-reported through WISDOM and 21 additional confirmed breast cancer cases were identified through the UCDW. As a standard process, only WISDOM self-reported cancer cases that were confirmed by chart review are entered into the study database. The percentage of confirmed UCDW-identified cases that were not also self-reported was greater for recent diagnoses (16% overall and 6% for period prior to June 2020). Among the 11,314 participants in our cohort, the CCR identified 61 pre-June 2020 cancer diagnoses. Of these 61 diagnoses, 92% (56) were identified by the UCDW procedural process. If the UCDW had been used as the single source for cancer diagnosis, 21 participants without cancer and 7 participants with unclear status (unlocated or inaccessible records) would have been classified as cancer cases. DISCUSSION/CONCLUSION Self-reported data provides quick ascertainment with relative accuracy compared to cancer registry. Cancer ascertainment can be further improved by combining self-reported data with EHR data from a health system data warehouse registry, particularly for self-reported questionnaire issues such as timing and lack of response. Accuracy of self-reported cancer diagnosis from annually distributed questionnaires improves over time. Identifying cancer diagnosis discordance between data sources can inform processes to improve self-reported study accuracy. Citation Format: Katherine Leggat-Barr, Rita H.
