Evidence of Stability in Patient-Reported Global Health During the COVID-19 Pandemic.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Measures of health-related quality of life (HRQOL) are collected throughout healthcare systems and used in clinical, economic, and outcomes studies to direct patient-centered care and inform health policy.

Our study aimed to assess the change in self-reported global health during the pandemic for patients receiving care in a large healthcare system compared with 1 year earlier.
