Table 1 Timepoints for collection of outcome measures

From: IMproving facial PRosthesis construction with contactlESs Scanning and Digital workflow (IMPRESSeD): study protocol for a feasibility crossover randomised controlled trial of digital versus conventional manufacture of facial prostheses in patients with orbital or nasal facial defects

Outcome

Outcome Measures

Ideal timepoint of evaluation

Maximum timepoint of evaluation

Participant preference

Participant preference for control or intervention prosthesis captured on CRFs

4 weeks after delivery of the second prosthesis

8 weeks following delivery of the second prosthesis

Condition specific quality of life

TOMCP-27

Baseline

Prior to delivery of either prosthesis

4 weeks after delivery of each prosthesis

8 weeks after delivery of each prosthesis

Generic health-related quality of life

SF-12v2 and EQ-5D-5L

Baseline

Prior to delivery of either prosthesis

4 weeks after delivery of each prosthesis

8 weeks after delivery of each prosthesis

Costs from the healthcare perspective

Resource use questionnaire

Timing and consumable data collected at each clinical visit or laboratory stage

1 week after each clinical visit or laboratory stage

Participants’ perception, lived-experience and preference of the two methods of making facial prostheses

Semi-structured interviews (qualitative sub-study)

Sampled across the IMPRESSeD study visits or within 12 months of study completion

Broad time frame helpful to identify what is important to patients whilst going through the manufacturing process and when reflecting on processes in retrospect
