At University \u00a0Health Network, a palliative care (PC) clinic was established to help patients with these symptoms, and to improve their quality of life and overall function.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Aims: <\/strong>The aim of our study is to determine if we can properly evaluate the PC clinic with standardized patient surveys (PROMs) and activity trackers. We plan to see how common PC tools will relate to the PROMs and the activity trackers (Fitbits). Finally, we want to ask LTx patients about their experiences attending the PC program, and their use of opioids, medications commonly used by PC clinicians to manage cough and SOB.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Methods: <\/strong>We will study 40 LTx candidates and collect their PROMs and activity metrics 2 weeks prior to the patient\u2019s PC clinic visit, during their first clinic visit, and repeated every 4-6 weeks. The use of opioids will be monitored before transplant and up to 3 months post-transplant. We will interview 8 patients pre-transplant and 12 patients post-transplant. We will explore patient views on the benefits of PC, their experiences with the PROMs, the Fitbits, and using opioids.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Significance: <\/strong>This project will be the first study of a PC clinic in pre-transplant lung population and will help us determine how best to enhance the benefits of the PC clinic. This will also allow multi-center collaborations and clinical trials to assess PC interventions in other transplant populations.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-separator fusion-full-width-sep\" style=\"align-self: center;margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;margin-top:30px;margin-bottom:30px;width:100%;\"><div class=\"fusion-separator-border sep-double sep-solid\" style=\"--awb-height:20px;--awb-amount:20px;border-color:#e0dede;border-top-width:1px;border-bottom-width:1px;\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-3\"><p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cdtrp.ca\/en\/2021-cdtrp-research-innovation-grant-competition\/\">View the\u00a0results of the 2021 CDTRP Research Innovation Grant Competition<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cdtrp.ca\/en\/past-cdtrp-innovation-grant-winners\/\">View past CDTRP Innovation Grants winners here.<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":12070,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1,75],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-12064","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-general","category-featured"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/cdtrp.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12064"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/cdtrp.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/cdtrp.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cdtrp.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/6"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cdtrp.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=12064"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/cdtrp.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12064\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":12072,"href":"https:\/\/cdtrp.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12064\/revisions\/12072"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cdtrp.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/12070"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/cdtrp.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12064"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cdtrp.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=12064"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cdtrp.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=12064"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
