Journal Title: Revista de Medicină Militară - Year 2018, Vol 0, Issue 2
Abstract
PRO (Patient Reported Outcome) is a clinically based questionnaire filled directly by patients, and other variant types of measures, in clinics and hospitals that gather patients’ stance on their conditions in treatment. PRO is different from Patient Based Outcomes whereby the latter addresses the patient’s concerns but do not necessarily enquire from them. However, PRO gather strictly from patients themselves through interviews, self-administered questionnaires and other available measures. The patient’s perspective on issues that is significant in enacting certain particular clinical policies and regulations such as approval of a medication/drug. Most PROM constitutes one (onedimensional) or more underlying assessments (multidimensional) connoted as constructs, which bear several levels of scale to assess degree.
