Natural language processing to identify documented pain preceding radiation therapy for bone metastases
Women and patients who identified as multiracial or a race other than Asian, Black, or White experienced a relative increase in pain documentation from bone metastasis diagnosis to RT for bone metastases. This finding may reflect differential decision-making for which patients are offered RT for bone metastases sooner in the symptom trajectory. Interventions are needed to increase equitable distribution of RT.
