Appendix A-2. Inclusion and Exclusion Criteria By Key Question
Key Questions | Include | Exclude | Duration and size of study | Outcomes |
---|---|---|---|---|
1. Benefits* 3. Benefits among population subgroups† |
|
| ≥3 months ≥100 participants | Primary or secondary breast cancer outcomes; other benefits defined by key question 1. |
2. Harms§ 3. Harms among population subgroups† |
|
| ≥3 months ≥100 participants | Any health outcome defined by key question 2. |
4. Treatment adherence, persistence, concordance, or treatment choice† |
|
| RCTS: >3 months and >100 participants | Any measure of treatment adherence, persistence, or concordance; data on treatment choice. |
5. Clinical risk assessment models |
|
| Not specified. | Evaluation of risk models for breast cancer that include more than 1 risk factor. |
- *
Benefit outcomes are defined by key question 1 and include:
- Invasive breast cancer
- Noninvasive breast cancer including ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS)
- Breast cancer mortality
- All-cause mortality
- Osteoporotic fractures
- †
Population subgroups are defined by key question 3 and include but are not limited to those based on:
Age, menopausal status (pre-, peri-, postmenopausal), hysterectomy status, use of exogenous estrogen, level of risk of breast cancer (based on family history, body mass index, parity [number of pregnancies], age at first live birth, age at menarche, personal history of breast abnormalities, prior breast biopsy, estradiol levels, breast density), ethnicity and race, metabolism status (CYP 2D6 mutation), and risk for thromboembolic events (obesity, and other risk factors).
- ‡
Definitions of types of outcomes:
- A primary outcome is the main outcome of a study that the study was designed and powered to demonstrate.
- A secondary outcome is a major outcome of a study that the study was designed and powered to demonstrate, but is not the primary outcome of the study.
- Health outcomes are signs, symptoms, conditions, or events that individuals experience, such as myocardial infarction, death, or hot flahes.
- Intermediate outcomes are health measures that individuals do not personally experience, such as a laboratory test results or bone mineral density.
- §
Harms outcomes are defined by key question 2 and may include but are not limited to:
- Thromboembolic events (deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism)
- Cardiovascular events (coronary heart disease, stroke and transient ischemic attack, arrhythmias)
- Metabolic disorders (diabetes)
- Musculoskeletal symptoms (myalgia, leg cramps)
- Mental health (depression, mood changes)
- Genitourinary outcomes (vaginal dryness, uterine bleeding, hysterectomy, endometrial cancer, urinary symptoms)
- Adverse breast outcomes (biopsies)
- Other malignancies (incidence, death)
- Ophthalmologic disorders (cataracts)
- Gastrointestinal/hepatobiliary disorders (abdominal pain, nausea)
- Other adverse events impacting quality of life (vasomotor symptoms, sexual function, sleep disturbances, headaches, cognitive changes, peripheral edema)
