description Design Retrospective cohort study.Setting Regional hospital-based oncology database of approximately 2 million patients in England.Participants Patients aged ≥18 years with a diagnosis of BC, NSCLC or PC as well as BM between 1 January 2007 and 31 December 2018, with follow-up to 30 June 2020 or death; BM diagnosis ascertained from recorded medical codes and unstructured data using natural language processing (NLP).Main outcomes measures Initiation or non-initiation of BTA following BM diagnosis, time from BM diagnosis to BTA initiation, time from first to last BTA, time from last BTA to death.Results This study included 559 BC, 894 NSCLC and 1013 PC with BM; median age (Q1–Q3) was 65 (52–76), 69 (62–77) and 75 (62–77) years, respectively. NLP identified BM diagnosis from unstructured data for 92% patients with BC, 92% patients with NSCLC and 95% patients with PC. Among patients with BC, NSCLC and PC with BM, 47%, 87% and 88% did not receive a BTA, and 53%, 13% and 12% received at least one BTA, starting a median 65 (27–167), 60 (28–162) and 610 (295–980) days after BM, respectively. Median (Q1–Q3) duration of BTA treatment was 481 (188–816), 89 (49–195) and 115 (53–193) days for patients with BC, NSCLC and PC. For those with a death record, median time from last BTA to death was 54 (26–109) for BC, 38 (17–98) for NSCLC and 112 (44–218) days for PC.Conclusion In this study identifying BM diagnosis from both structured and unstructured data, a high proportion of patients did not receive a BTA. Unstructured data provide new insights on the real-world use of BTA.
