Patient Reported Outcomes (PRO)

•

HCP generally

underestimate

side effect presentation,

severity and duration compared with patients

•

Agreement is generally closer for observable side effects than

for subjective ones



E.g. diarrhoea is observable and fatigue is subjective

•

PROs cover the

subjective

domain



E.g. Pain

•

Issues re literacy



Questionnaires to guide a consult is not considered a true PRO as

there is still some level of interpretation and collection by someone

other than the patient
