Patient-Reported Outcomes in Thoracic Surgery

Onkar V Khullar et al. Thorac Surg Clin. 2017 Aug.

Abstract

The existing thoracic surgical literature contains several retrospective and observational studies that include patient-reported outcomes. To deliver true patient-centered care, it will be necessary to universally gather patient-reported outcomes prospectively, including them in routine patient care, clinical registries, and clinical trials.
