If a patient did not fill out the first Quality of Life questionnaire at week 5 of the protocol, is it still relevant to ask for further questionnaires to be completed?
The first questionnaire is not a true baseline questionnaire as it is completed after treatment begins therefore it is likely that the questionnaires will be used to look at how each patient was feeling at each individual time point rather than comparing across the time points. Therefore, we shouldcontinue to collect as many questionnaires as possible regardless of whether the week 5 questionnairewas completed.
