Patient-reported outcome (PRO) measure-based algorithm for clinical decision support in epilepsy outpatient follow-up: a test-retest reliability study.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Patient-reported outcome (PRO) measures have been used in epilepsy outpatient clinics in Denmark since 2011. The patients' self-reported PRO data are used by clinicians as a decision aid to support whether a patient needs contact with the outpatient clinic or not based on a PRO algorithm. Validity and reliability are fundamental to any PRO measurement used at the individual level in clinical practice. The aim of this study was to evaluate the test-retest reliability of the PRO algorithm used in epilepsy outpatient clinics and to analyse whether the method of administration (web and paper) would influence the result.

Design and setting

Test-retest reliability study conducted in three epilepsy outpatient clinics in Central Denmark Region, Denmark.
