  • {"endpoint_text":"- a)clinical record taken 2/week during hospitalization and then 1/week to describe clinical symptoms leading to malabsorption:nausea,vomiting,diarrhea,mucositis,colitis. Symptom intensity will be assessed (NCI CTCAE v5), b)Adherence to treatment monitored daily during hospitalization (paramedical staff). Once home, adherence assessed 1/week by the doctor in charge of the patient, c)All co-medications recorded throughout course of posaconazole treatment, based on data from patient's medical record","definition_or_measurement_approach":"a) Clinical symptom collection twice weekly during hospitalization then weekly (nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, mucositis, colitis) with intensity graded by NCI CTCAE v5. b) Adherence monitoring daily during hospitalization and weekly after discharge (physician report). c) Recording of all concomitant medications from medical records."}
