Optimising the computerised adaptive test to reliably reduce the burden of administering the CLEFT-Q: A Monte Carlo simulation study.
[BACKGROUND] Computerised adaptive testing (CAT) has the potential to transform plastic surgery outcome measurement by making patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) shorter, individualised and more accurate than pen-and-paper questionnai…

How to interpret clinical outcome data in plastic surgery research and clinical practice.
Patient reported outcome measures (PROMs) are increasingly used in clinical and academic plastic surgery, but interpretation of PROMs is not always straightforward. Similarly, other clinical outcome data may also be challenging to interpret…

Value-based plastic surgery.
This editorial explores value in relation to plastic surgery and strategies that have been suggested to deliver value-based healthcare. We consider how value is measured, accounting for patient outcomes and experiences, costs and equity, an…

Outcome measurement in plastic surgery.
Outcome measurement in plastic surgery is often surgeon-centred, and clinician-derived. Greater emphasis is being placed on patient-reported outcomes (PROs), in which the patients' perspective is measured directly from them. Numerous patien…
