Online Patient-Reported Outcome Measure Engagement Is Dependent on Demographics and Locality: Findings From an Observational Cohort
Authors' conclusion
We define key patient characteristics (including ethnicity) that influence PROM engagement using a national clinical audit. We observed an association between locality and PROM completion, with varying response rates across regions of England.
Study context
- Population
- Adults with a new diagnosis of early inflammatory arthritis (EIA) recruited to the National Early Inflammatory Arthritis Audit, May 2018 to March 2020
- Participants
- 11,986 adults
- Outcome
- PROM completion at baseline, 3 months, and 12 months
- Follow-up
- Baseline, 3 months, and 12 months
Methodological detailsnational clinical audit (National Early Inflammatory Arthritis Audit (NEIAA)), mixed effects logistic regression, spatial regression models
- National clinical audit (NEIAA)
- Mixed effects logistic regression
- Spatial regression models
