Measuring outcomes in hand surgery

Aviram M Giladi et al. Clin Plast Surg. 2013 Apr.

Abstract

Methods for measuring outcomes after hand and upper extremity surgery continue to evolve, but remain inconsistent in quality. This article reviews the use of patient-reported outcomes measures in patients having upper extremity surgery, and provides a practical guide to questionnaire selection, assessment, and use. It also presents the future direction of health services research, and how it will drive changes in measuring outcomes in hand surgery.
