Reliability of patient-reported outcome measures: Hemorrhage, anticoagulant, antiplatelet medication use.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Most antithrombotic medication users are older adults. Patient-reported outcome measures are commonly used in clinical research on antithrombotic medication, such as the diagnosis of intracranial hemorrhage.

Objectives

To determine the reliability of patient-reported intracranial hemorrhage, anticoagulant and platelet aggregation inhibitor use in the older adult population.

Patients/methods

We conducted a secondary analysis of a prospective, observational cohort study of older adults who presented to the emergency department with a fall. The primary outcome was diagnosis of intracranial bleeding. We compared patient-reported intracranial bleeding to structured chart review with adjudication. We also compared patient-reported use of antiplatelet and anticoag
