PY - 2015 DA - 2015/05/09 TI - Investigating the collection and assessment of patient-reported outcome data amongst unplanned surgical hospital admissions: a feasibility study JO - Pilot and Feasibility Studies SP - 16 VL - 1 IS - 1 AB - Randomised controlled trials (RCTs) in surgery can be challenging to conduct, and trials in the emergency surgical setting when patients have unplanned hospital admissions are particularly difficult. One area of challenge is capturing baseline patient-reported outcome (PRO) data. This study examined the feasibility and optimal methods for the collection of baseline and follow-up PRO data in the setting of unplanned surgical hospital admissions.
