Patient-reported outcomes (PROs) refer to measurements of a patient's health status that come directly from the patient themselves, rather than from a healthcare provider or clinician. These outcomes can include a wide range of factors such as symptoms, quality of life, physical functioning, mental health, and overall well-being. PROs are increasingly being used in research and clinical practice to better understand and evaluate the impact of various health conditions and treatments from the patient's perspective. PROs can provide valuable insights into the effectiveness of interventions, help inform treatment decisions, and ultimately improve patient-centered care.
