What patient reported outcome measures are used in clinical trials in hip fracture? A systematic mapping review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) are increasingly used to assess treatment effectiveness in various domains from the patients' perspective. This systematic review aimed to identify what PROMs have been used in hip fracture clinical trials, whether they are used as the primary outcome, whether validity evidence is referenced and how their use has changed over time.

Methods

Studies obtained from PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science published between 01/01/2010 and 29/09/2025 were assessed. Eligible studies were controlled trials on hip fracture interventions in adult populations published in English. We checked the reference for validity evidence of PROMs used in included studies. Characteristics of each study were extracted, and PROMs usage was summarised by
