Utilising Electronic PROMs to Measure a Change in Health Following Elective Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy: A Feasibility Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The collection of patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) has many benefits for clinical practice. However, there are many barriers that prevent them from becoming a part of routine clinical care. The aim of this feasibility study was to pilot the use of a digital platform to facilitate the routine collection of pre- and post-operative electronic PROMs (ePROMs) in participants undergoing elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy and to validate the use of existing patient-reported outcomes for our population.

Methods

Participants scheduled for elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy were asked to complete digital versions of the Otago gallstones Condition-Specific Questionnaire (CSQ), and the RAND 36-item health survey (SF36). An assessment of methodological quality o
