Q

example of why PROs are important

A

A surgeon might report that the blood flow from a coronary artery bypass looks great, but that is not much use if the patient reports they still get out of breath and pained on exercise.

49
Q

two important properties of PROMS

A

reliability and validity

50
Q

reliability

A

Is the instrument accurate over time and internally consistent? (If the patient has no change in health, she should get the same score each time she does the measure)

51
Q

validity

A

Does the instrument actually measure what it is intended to measure?

52
Q

published instruments must have

A

established reliability and validity- can be used to compare across different groups of patients using standardised measures

53
Q

types of proms

A

generic and specific

54
Q

generic PROM

A

 Measure very broad aspects of health
 Can be used in any patient population
 Uses EuroQol EQ-5D

55
Q

specific PROMS

A

disease specific

site specific

dimension specoofc

56
Q

disease specific

A

o e.g. asthma quality of life questionnaire

o e.g. arthritis impact measurement scale (AIMs)

57
Q

site specific

A

o Oxford Hip Score

o Shoulder disability questionnaire

58
Q

dimension specific

A

o Beck depression inventory

o McGill pain questionnaire

59
Q

example of a generic PROM

A

EuroQoL EQ-5D

60
Q

EuroQoL EQ-5D

A

Provides simple descriptive profile

  • Full health = 1
  • Death= 0
61
Q

5 dimensions of EQ-5D

A 
mobility
self-care
usual activity
pain/discomfort
anxiety/ depression
62
Q

how many levels in each dimension

A

3
o No problems
o Some/moderate problems
o Extreme problems

63
Q

how many different states outlined by EQ-5D

64
Q

EQ%D is usually in the forma of a …… but can be in the form of a ……

A

questionnaire

thermometer

65
Q

advantages of generic proms like EQ5D

A
  • Suitable for use across a broad range of health problems
  • Can be used comparisons between treatments for different patient groups to assess comparative effectiveness
  • Can be used within healthy populations to generative normative data that can be used to compare diff patient group
  • Broad scope means they have potential to capture the influence of co-morbidity on health
  • Can detect unexpected positive or negative effects of an intervention (useful for assessing the impact of new health car technologies when therapeutic effects are uncertain
66
Q

disadvantages of generic proms like EQ5D

A
  • Broad applicability means that some level of detail has to be sacrificed which may limit the relevance of generic instruments when applied to a specific patient population
  • Less responsive to clinically important changes in health
67
Q

PROMS can also be

A

disease-specific or symptom specific

68
Q

example of disease- specific PROMS

A

oxford hip score - much more personalised to specific disease

69
Q

symptom specific

A

fatigue impact scale

70
Q

advantages of specific instrument

A
  • Very relevant content
  • Sensitive to change
  • Acceptable to patients
71
Q

disadvantages of specific instrument

A
  • Can’t use them with people who don’t have the disease
  • Comparison is limited
  • May not detect unexpected effects
72
Q

selecting an insturment

A
  • Is there published work showing established reliability and validity?
  • Have there been other published studies that have used this instrument successfully?
  • Is it suitable for your area of interest?
  • Does it adequately reflect patients’ concerns in this area?
  • Is the instrument acceptable to patients?
  • Is it sensitive to change?
  • Is it easy to administer and analyse?
73
Q

summary of PRO

A
  • Patient-based outcomes are increasingly important and embedded in policies
  • Outcomes such as HRQoL must be measured in valid and reliable ways
  • Generic and disease-specific measures exist and have different advantages and disadvantages
