Background information
Patient-reported outcome measures – what are they?
www.england.nhs.uk
Appleby and Devlin 2010
“The first health system internationally to measure what it produces in terms of health.”
www.england.nhs.uk
Background: what are PROMs?National data collections
Since 2009, all patients undergoing Hip Replacement, Knee Replacement, Varicose Vein and Groin Hernia surgery are asked to participate in PROMs
Objective
To measure and improve the quality of treatment and care patients receive.
Definition
Measures of the outcomes of treatment, which are based upon asking patients to report on their own health outcomes.
Scope
In 2012/13, 127,600 patients gave feedback on their health state before and after surgery.
241,000episodes
127,600 complete answers
Participation
• 3/4 patients fill out a PROMs questionnaire before surgery.
• Of these, 3/4 also respond to the post-operative questionnaire.
• Overall, more than 50% of patients give full feedback on their outcomes.

Patients report their outcomes
• Patients assess their health based on five dimensions:
• Mobility; Self-care; Usual activities; Pain or discomfort; Anxiety or depression.
• Patients rate their health as: (1=no problems, 2=some problems, 3=severe)
• Patients rate their health on visual analogue scale from 0 to 100.
• Oxford Hip Score, Oxford Knee Score: 12 hip- or knee specific questions, each rated from 0 (=extreme problems) to 4 (= no problems)
• Aberdeen Varicose Vein Questionnaire, 13 questions covering Pain and skin irritation; Impact on regular activities; location of the VV; total score between 0 (=best) and 100 (=worst)
The questionnaires Timing
Finalised data is published approx. 18 months after surgery.

What measurements matter to patients requiring RR?•EQ5D - Mobility; Self-care; Usual activities; Pain or discomfort; Anxiety or depression. Rated on a 5 point scale – no problems, some, moderate, severe problems and unable. For example:-
•Under each heading, please tick the ONE box that best describes your health TODAY
MOBILITY
I have no problems in walking about
I have slight problems in walking about
I have moderate problems in walking about
I have severe problems in walking about
I am unable to walk about
www.england.nhs.uk
Do these measurements matter to patients requiring RR?
•Palliative Outcome Scale POS-S Renal – an 18 item questionnaire, that concentrates mainly on symptoms, eg. nausea, poor appetite, difficulty sleeping and the degree to which the patient has been impacted by them, in the previous week - not at all, slightly, moderately, severely, overwhelmingly
•Kidney Disease Quality of Life (KDQoL) instrument has some core questions – SF-12 (similar to EQ-5D) alongside the burden , symptoms/problems , and the effects of kidney disease
