“…With a mean completion time of 5.2 min we think it is reachable to encourage patients to complete our questionnaires. Moreover, in literature the completion times of paper questionnaires are reported to be significant longer compared to online questionnaires when data entry time is studied[7]. …”

AIMTo evaluate the effect of introducing a structured online follow-up system on the response rate.METHODSSince June 2015 we have set up an electronic follow-up system for prosthesis in orthopedic patients. This system allows prospective data gathering using both online and paper questionnaires. In the past all patients received questionnaires on paper. This study includes only patients who received elbow arthroplasty. Response rates before and after introduction of the online database were compared. After the implementation, completeness of the questionnaires was compared between paper and digital versions. For both comparisons Fisher’s Exact tests were used.RESULTSA total of 233 patients were included in the study. With the introduction of this online follow-up system, the overall response rate increased from 49.8% to 91.6% (P < 0.01). The response rate of 92.0% in the paper group was comparable to 90.7% in the online group (P > 0.05). Paper questionnaires had a completeness of 54.4%, which was lower compared to the online questionnaires where we reached full completeness (P < 0.01). Furthermore, non-responders proved to be younger with a mean age of 52 years compared to a mean age 62 years of responders (P < 0.05).CONCLUSIONThe use of a structured online follow-up system increased the response rate. Moreover, online questionnaires are more complete than paper questionnaires.

“…PRO is a modern scientific approach widely used in evaluating outcomes of clinical trials based on patient-centered evidence [31-33]. PRO is defined as any report of the status of a patient’s health condition that comes directly from the patient, without interpretation of the patient’s response by a clinician or anyone else [34].…”

Background: This study aimed to explore the effectiveness of acupuncture combined with tuina therapy in patients with migraine. Methods: A prospective, randomized controlled assessor-blind clinical trial was performed between January 2017 and May 2018, and 135 patients were assigned into acupuncture combined with tuina (A), acupuncture (B), and control (flunarizine hydrochloride) (C) groups, each with 45 patients. Treatments were performed for 12 weeks and a 4-week follow-up. Frequency of attacks, severity of pain, duration of migraine, associated symptoms, patient-reported outcome (PRO) scores, and frequency of analgesic consumption were assessed. Results: The total effective rate was 95.6, 88.9, and 75.6% for group A, B, and C, respectively, with a significant reduction in attack frequency, severity of pain, duration of migraine, and associated symptoms at post-treatment and follow-up compared to pre-treatment. The PRO scores and frequency of analgesic consumption were significantly improved (group A, p < 0.01; groups B and C, p < 0.05). The differences in pre-/post-treatment and in pre-treatment/follow-up in groups A and B were significantly improved compared to group C (A vs. C, p < 0.01; B vs. C, A vs. B, p < 0.05). No significant adverse events occurred. Conclusion: Acupuncture combined with tuina could significantly increase the therapeutic effect of acupuncture in migraine treatment.

“…Although not used in this study, prior studies validate individualized recruitment strategies to increase patient engagement. 10,13,26 Possible explanations for our observed response rate may stem from the accessibility and convenience of tablet-based surveys. One group found that e-mail-based follow-up of patients who declined initial survey resulted in a significant response rate, with responders of this approach reporting that a direct approach and immediate survey access contributed to their amenity to engagement.…”

“…15,25 However, delivery models described in the literature contain substantial methodological differences, including various clinical settings, patient characteristics collected, and survey technologies. 15,17,[26][27][28][29] Many cases fail to report participation rate. 17,30 A prior study demonstrates the collection of patient-reported outcomes (i.e., PROMIS physical functional scale) at an academic cerebrovascular clinic using an electronic platform over a time frame of 33 months, reaching 1,946 stroke patients.…”

Feasibility of the collection of patient-reported outcomes in an ambulatory neurology clinic

Objective: To determine whether patients could self-report physical and mental health assessments in the waiting room and whether these assessments would be associated with modified Rankin Scale (mRS) and Quality of Life in Epilepsy (QOLIE-10) scores.Methods: We offered iPad-based surveys to consecutive adult neurology patients at check-in to collect patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs). We collected demographic and clinical data on 6,075 patients through survey or administrative claims and PROMs from participating patients. We compared demographic characteristics of participants and nonparticipants and tested associations between physical and mental health scores and mRS and QOLIE-10.Results: Of 6,075 patients seen by neurologists during the study period, 2,992 (49.3%) participated in the survey. Compared to nonparticipating patients, participating patients more often were privately insured (53.5% vs 42.7%, p , 0.01), married (51.5% vs 47.9%, p , 0.01), and seen in general neurology (nonsubspecialty) clinics (53.1% vs 46.6%, p , 0.01) and more likely to report English as their preferred language (50.1% vs 38.4%, p , 0.01). Participating patients had a mean physical health T score of 28.7 (SD 15) and mental health T score of 33 (SD 15), which were 3 and 2 SD worse than the average for the US general population, respectively.

Patient-reported outcome assessment after total joint replacement: comparison of questionnaire completion times on paper and tablet computer

Abstract: Electronic PRO data collection can substantially decrease time, logistics, and effort associated with questionnaire completion in daily clinical practice. It is also acceptable for use in an older arthroplasty population.
