Post-Operative Protocols: Patient Reported Outcomes

Video Transcription

Video Summary

Olufemi Ayani, alongside co-author Yoan Bourgeois-Gagnon, discusses the importance of post-operative protocols and patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) at McMaster University. Patient-reported outcomes, such as general PROMs and hip-specific measures, provide crucial insights into patient quality of life post-surgery. These measures offer both qualitative (subjective) and quantitative (objective) data, emphasizing the impact on quality of life rather than just physical assessments. Olufemi highlights the significance of selecting age-appropriate PROMs and understanding the minimal clinically important difference to ensure they align with patient needs and contribute effectively to evaluating surgical outcomes.
