Abstract

This dataset contains demographic, clinical, and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) data from 2905 patients including 200 cancer patients after immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) cessation and 2705 patients with a wide variety of autoimmune diseases. Within this multicenter, cross-sectional survey study data were collected questionnaire-based in cancer patients (ICI-patients) >= 18 years of age who had received at least one dose of ICI with >= 12 weeks since ICI discontinuation. Patients with autoimmune diseases (AI-patients) were >= 18 years, had at least one autoimmune disease and had never received ICI. ICI-patients were recruited in three skin cancer centers and via support groups. AI-patients were recruited in an outpatient clinic for internal medicine and via support groups. Specific questionnaires for ICI-patients/AI-patients were provided paper-based for patients from outpatient clinics and online for patients from support groups. Both questionnaires contained sections with demographic information, clinical data, and the standardized patient-reported outcome measure EuroQol 5D-5L (EQ-5D-5L) to assess HRQoL. Clinical data focused on autoimmunity and therapy of autoimmunity in (1) ICI-patients referring to particularly persistent immune -related adverse events (persistent irAEs) and in (2) AI-patients referring to respective autoimmune diseases. Additionally, specific items on cancer and cancer therapy were included in ICI-patients, and AI-patients were asked about the presence of acute exacerbations of autoimmune diseases. This dataset contains the raw data for ICI-patients and AI-patients, analyzed data on patient demographics, clinical characteristics and HRQoL scores among ICI-patients with/without persistent irAEs and among AI-patients. The data provide a basis for further investigations within the cohort of ICI-patients after ICI cessation and/or for AI-patients with different autoimmune diseases with regard to HRQoL, autoimmunity and therapy of autoimmunity.
