| Description: |
Health-related quality of life (HRQoL) assessment is becoming increasingly important in neurosurgery following the trend toward patient-centered care, especially in the context of skull base diseases. The current study evaluates the systematic assessment of HRQoL using digital patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) in a tertiary care center specialized in skull base diseases. The methodology and feasibility to conduct digital PROMs using both generic and disease-specific questionnaires were investigated. Infrastructural and patient-specific factors affecting participation and response rates were analyzed. Since August 2020, 158 digital PROMs were implemented in skull base patients presenting for specialized outpatient consultations. Reduced personnel capacity led to significantly fewer PROMs being conducted during the second versus (vs.) the first year after introduction (mean: 0.77 vs. 2.47 per consultation day, p = 0.0002). The mean age of patients not completing vs. those completing long-term assessments was significantly higher (59.90 vs. 54.11 years, p = 0.0136). Follow-up response rates tended to be increased with recent surgery rather than with the wait-and-scan strategy. Our strategy of conducting digital PROMs appears suitable for assessing HRQoL in skull base diseases. The availability of medical personnel for implementation and supervision was essential. Response rates during follow-up tended to be higher both with younger age and after recent surgery. ; publishedVersion |
