Extract
Patient reported outcome measures (PROMs) are standardised validated questionnaires completed by patients to provide information on their perceived functional well-being and health status [1]. These questionnaires can address various aspects of health including symptoms, quality of life, functionality, and physical, mental and social well-being. PROMs play an important role in increasing patient engagement, improving health systems, and ensuring that clinical care and research is person-centred.
