Data of real-world reference scores for EORTC QLQ-C30 and QLQ-BR23 at baseline in women with early breast cancer and other breast diseases

Patient-reported outcomes are information about health status and health-related quality of life collected directly from patients. The data in this publication contain the first assessment of patient-reported outcomes (PROs) from real-life measurements in the breast cancer center at Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin between November 2016 and March 2021. At baseline (before the start of treatment), 1727 ambulatory patients with early breast cancer, ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS), fibroadenoma, and other breast diseases were registered in the digital PRO-system as part of clinical routine. Patients’ sociodemographic data, medical history, clinical variables, and raw scores of the EORTC QLQ-C30 and EORTC QLQ-BR23 are provided in this publication. This dataset can be used as a reference for PROs in a clinical care setting or in clinical studies with breast diseases and contribute to the discussion about the interpretation of score values. Furthermore, the association between patients’ sociodemographic data, clinical variables, and PRO data at baseline can be analysed further.
