Head and neck cancer (HNC) is one of the most emotionally distressing cancers and is also a highly disparate disease. However, it is unknown whether there are disparities associated with patient-reported distress in HNC.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"ab-ooi240091-5\"><jats:title>Objective<\/jats:title><jats:p>To examine racial and sociodemographic factors associated with clinically meaningful distress in a cohort of patients with HNC.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"ab-ooi240091-6\"><jats:title>Design, Setting, and Participants<\/jats:title><jats:p>This retrospective cohort study analyzed data from a single tertiary institution at a National Cancer Institute\u2013designated comprehensive cancer center in the Southeastern US. Participants included adult patients from January 2017 to December 2022 with confirmed diagnoses of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma who received radiation therapy up to 5 weeks from initial diagnosis.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"ab-ooi240091-7\"><jats:title>Main Outcomes and Measures<\/jats:title><jats:p>The outcome of interest was clinically meaningful distress (score of at least 4 on the distress thermometer). The distress thermometer is a single-item, self-reported tool used to measure a person's level of psychological distress over the past week, represented on a scale from 0 (no distress) to 10 (extreme distress). Patients were included in the study if they had visits with clinicians in the radiation oncology department within 5 weeks of diagnosis. Sociodemographic factors were race and ethnicity, age, sex, marital status, and health insurance status. Clinical variables (stage of presentation, anatomical subsites, smoking, and alcohol history) and problem list domain items were included in the adjusted model. Using multivariable logistic regression analysis, odds of meaningful distress by sociodemographic factors were estimated, adjusting for clinical factors and problem list domains.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"ab-ooi240091-8\"><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>A total of 507 patients met the inclusion criteria. The study population included 389 male patients (76.7%). The median (IQR) age of participants was 63 (56-71) years, with a racial distribution of 89 Black patients (17.6%), 385 White patients (75.9%), and 33 patients of other categories (6.9%), including Asian, Native American, multiracial, declined to respond, and unknown. Overall, 232 patients (45.8%) had meaningful distress. The median (IQR) DT score for the entire cohort was 3 (0-6). Black patients had the highest rate of physical concerns (n\u2009=\u200931 [34.8%]) compared to the other racial groups (78 White patients [20.3%] and 7 persons of other race [21.2%]). However, in the final multivariable model, race was not significantly associated with clinically meaningful distress (Black compared with White: adjusted odds ratio [aOR], 0.76 [95% CI, 0.45-1.28]; other compared with White: aOR, 0.85 [95% CI, 0.37-1.94]). Compared to those married, unmarried patients were significantly more likely to report distress (aOR, 1.61 [95% CI, 1.05-2.50]). Also, patients with emotional problems had double the odds of reporting clinically meaningful distress (aOR, 2.03 [95% CI, 1.02-4.08]). Other factors associated with significant clinical distress included tobacco use (aOR, 2.14 [95% CI, 1.02-4.50]) and reported practical problems (aOR, 2.08 [95% CI, 1.17-3.69]).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"ab-ooi240091-9\"><jats:title>Conclusion and Relevance<\/jats:title><jats:p>Independent of race or sociodemographic factors, the results of this retrospective cohort study underscore the need for social and emotional support in mitigating distress and optimizing mental health care in this patient population. Further studies should explore distress trajectories across the HNC continuum and their impact on HNC outcomes.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1001\/jamaoto.2024.4357","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,12,19]],"date-time":"2024-12-19T16:02:05Z","timestamp":1734624125000},"page":"160","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":12,"title":["Patient-Reported
