PROMs – Patient Reported Outcome Measures

Patient Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs) are like special surveys that help doctors understand how patients feel about their health and daily life. Since there are many different types of PROMs, it can be hard to pick the right one. At EuRREB, our team of experts and patients work together to decide which quiz is best. We also consider their cost and whether they are available in different languages.

We welcome discussions about how to choose the right PROM with those interested.

Here are some of the surveys we use in our platform:

  • EQ-5D – This survey helps people talk about their overall health and well-being.
  • BPIThis survey is used to understand how much pain someone feels.
  • WHO-ICF MobilityThis survey helps describe how well someone can move and do daily activities.
  • MSK-HQ This survey helps people with muscle or joint problems like arthritis, talk about their symptoms.
  • NPSI – This survey helps figure out different types of pain that come from nerve problems.
  • OHIP14This survey allows people to share how mouth and teeth problems affect their lives.
  • PHPQoL – This survey helps people with calcium-related issues tell how they feel.
