Yes and no.

So our primary outcome was symptom distress measured by a very familiar tool, the Edmonton Symptom Assessment Scale.

And we had a greater decrease in symptom intensity at day seven versus the usual care group by both a clinically meaningful and a statistically significant difference.

Our other measures, in retrospect, were probably not the best ones to pick for an acute intervention because we only followed patients to day 30 for this intervention.

Quality of life measured by a PROMIS tool was not any different.

And resource utilization was very low in all the groups.

It was not very different.

It was not different.

It wasn't an eligibility criteria, but all of our patients were a palliative performance scale of 70 or greater.

And even if it made a difference, which I'm not sure that it did, every other study that showed, including some of my own, improved quality of life wasn't measured until like six months later.

And so I think that we...

probably, the quality of life was probably not the best

And we actually measured it in both patients and family caregivers.

So we had the standard, the same tool that we measured in both and there was no difference.

But again, hindsight's 20-20, probably wasn't the best measure to look.

The other one we tested in an exploratory way was feeling heard and understood.

And so I'm going to reserve the results of that, which wasn't different, but were interesting for another day or question.

I actually don't think it matters.

If you can establish rapport, and if you do good telehealth etiquette, which is seeing who else is in the room, addressing everybody that was there, et cetera.
