Patient-reported quality of life (QoL) measurements in adults with multiple long-term conditions: A scoping review protocol.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

This scoping review will systematically map the evidence on Patient Reported Outcome Measures (PROMS) used to assess quality of life (QoL) in adults with multiple long-term conditions (MLTC) across all healthcare and community settings.

Rationale

Research on patient-reported QoL in adults with MLTC is limited. Existing measures are mostly generic and may lack sensitivity to the complexity and heterogeneity of MLTC. This review will examine PROMs used in MLTC research, and identify gaps in QoL measurement.

Inclusion/exclusion criteria

Quantitative, qualitative, or mixed-methods studies, and pre-specified grey literature, reporting QoL tools for adults with any combination of physical and/or mental MLTC will be included. Single conditions, comorbidity, or non-
