Patient-centered care is a growing focus of research and modern surgical practice. To this end, there has been an ever-increasing utilization of patient reported outcomes (PRO) and health-related quality of life metrics (HR-QOL) in thoracic surgery research. Here we describe reasons and methods for integration of PRO measurement into routine thoracic surgical practice, commonly utilized PRO measurement instruments, and several examples of successful integration.
以患者为中心的护理是研究和现代外科实践中日益关注的焦点。为此,胸外科研究中患者报告结局(PRO)和健康相关生活质量指标(HR-QOL)的应用越来越广泛。在此,我们描述将PRO测量纳入胸外科常规实践的原因和方法、常用的PRO测量工具以及几个成功整合的实例。
