Standardizing patient-reported outcomes across diseases: development of a novel generic patient-reported outcome set.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Patient-reported outcomes (PROs) are an essential component in the implementation of value-based health care. Up to now, no consensus exists on the appropriateness of PROs used across diseases, e.g., to allow for comparability or to assess disease impact. The aim of this study was to develop an international, multi-stakeholder consensus on a generic PRO set applicable for different stakeholders and diseases within of the Health Outcomes Observatory (H2O) project funded by the EU Innovative Medicines Initiative.

Methods

To begin, a literature review was conducted to identify the most frequently utilized generic PROs followed by a three-round Delphi consensus procedure. The resulting outcome set was then cross-referenced with disease-specific outcome sets for lung a
