Current status of patient-reported outcome measures in vascular surgery

Can quality of life predict survival and value‐based care in lower extremity arterial disease?

“…A recent Society for Vascular Surgery consensus document identified multiple barriers to implementation and little knowledge of how to use PRO to guide treatment selection. 2 This is a prognostic application of PRO. We therefore explored whether QOL can predict survival and valuebased care in LEAD.…”

“…However, the widespread evaluation of QOL in research settings has not translated to clinical practice. A recent Society for Vascular Surgery consensus document identified multiple barriers to implementation and little knowledge of how to use PRO to guide treatment selection 2 . This is a prognostic application of PRO.…”
