EORTC QLQ-INFO25 presented by Age (panel A) and Stage (panel B). A: Middle aged patients report receiving more information compared to both younger and older patients. Patients aged 80+ report receiving the least amount and lowest satisfaction with information. Patients in all age groups score information related to medical tests, the disease and treatments high, indicating they are feeling informed about these areas, while the categories “information about things you can do to help yourself get well”, “information about different places of care” and “information about other services” are scored lower, indicating patients are feeling less informed. 18-39 n = 64±1, 40-59 n = 240±6, 60-69 n = 204±12, 70-79 n = 167±9, 80+ n = 66 ± 9. B: Patients of all disease stages report similar levels of information in all areas except “Information about other services” where there is a statistically significant difference between patients with stage I-II and III-IV. Stage I n = 536±27, Stage II n = 142±9, Stage III-IV n = 59±3. * Significant difference between stage I-II and III-IV (p < 0.001)
