The problem with measuring patient perceptions of outcome with existing outcome measures in foot and ankle surgery
PARKER J; NESTER CJ; LONG AF
FOOT ANKLE INT , 2003, vol. 24, n° 1, p. 56-60 Doc n°: 109364 Localisation : Documentation IRR Quality outcome measures are the cornerstone of clinical research. A review of outcome measures used in foot and ankle surgery research reveals that the issues of validity, reliability and responsiveness of outcome measures have not been addressed. Most reports in the literature have attempted to evaluate patient perceptions of outcome following foot surgery. Underlying the many difficulties with these outcome measures is a lack of understanding of what patients perceive to be important in terms of outcome. Consequently none of the existing outcome measures can claim to be valid measures of patient perceptions of outcome, as there has been no research uncovering these perceptions. In addition, measures of general health status and quality of life in relation to outcome of foot and ankle surgery have been largely ignored to date.
