abstract = {Patients diagnosed with high-grade gliomas (HGG) often
experience substantial psychosocial dis-tress. However, due
to neurological and neurocognitive deficits its assessment
remains challenging, and needs remain unmet. We compared a
novel face-to-face assessment during doctor-patient
conversations with questionnaire-based screening.In this
multicenter, two-arm cluster-randomized study involving 13
centers patients in the interven-tion group (IG) were
screened for distress via physician-patient conversations,
while the control group (CG) completed the Distress
Thermometer. Primary outcome was the proportion of patients
with poor emotional functioning (measured with the EORTC
Quality of Life Questionnaire) who received specialized
psychosocial care (PC) within 3 months. Data were collected
via patient and physician reports and medical records.
Analysis employed mixed models logistic regression.In total,
763 patients were enrolled at baseline, and 506 completed
the follow-up. The emotional functioning was poor in 302/506
$(59.7\%).$ The frequency of patients reporting PC
utilization was comparable between groups (IG 93/168,
$55.4\%$ vs. CG 87/134, $64.9\%,$ odds ratio (OR) =0.67,
$95\%$ confidence interval (CI)=0.40-1.11, p=0.115).
Likewise, the provision of information about special-ized
psycho-oncological care was similar (IG 112/168, $66.7\%$
vs. CG 94/134, $70.1\%,$ OR=0.95, $95\%CI=0.39-2.29,$
p=0.904).Physician-led, face-to-face distress screening was
not superior to questionnaire-based screening in
facilitating psychosocial care referrals. Nonetheless, it
represents a feasible and patient-centered alternative,
particularly for patients with high-grade gliomas suffering
from neurocognitive or func-tional deficits.},
