Patient Reported Outcome Measures

The National Kidney Foundation has launched a national registry for patients at all stages of kidney disease, which the organization hopes will bolster research initiatives aimed at improving individualized patient-centered care.

Verana Health has enrolled the first subject in the Patient-Reported Outcomes for Minimally Invasive Glaucoma Surgery study, according to a press release.

Certain social determinants of health impacted how patients viewed the care they received and their quality of life following kidney transplantation, according to research presented at the virtual ASN Kidney Week.

Anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty with a partially cemented polyethylene glenoid component, or anchor peg implant, may yield “in between fin” bone growth and decreased pain, according to recently presented results.

The Banff Patellofemoral Instability Instrument 2.0, known as the BPII 2.0, is a disease-specific patient-reported outcome measure used to measure quality of life in adults and adolescents with lateral patellofemoral instability. The BPII can be used to evaluate patient status and track outcomes from interventions such as surgical stabilization or rehabilitation programs.

Use of the QuickDASH score in the early postoperative period to assess function and overall satisfaction with hand surgery can positively impact the recovery trajectory of patients, according to study results.

Reverse shoulder arthroplasty was linked with improved patient-reported outcomes, pain scores and patient satisfaction at 10-year follow-up, according to results presented at the virtual American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons Annual Meeting.

The Health Assessment Questionnaire-Disability Index and the Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System-Physical Function had excellent agreement in finding psoriatic arthritis minimal disease activity, according to findings.

Global health, physical function, pain intensity, pain interference and depression are patient-reported outcome measures that should be integrated into clinical decision-making, according to a foot and ankle surgeon.

A computerized adaptive testing system of the foot and ankle ability measure may provide a more accurate and efficient assessment of patient-reported outcome measures for foot and ankle pathology, according to recently presented research.
