A new validated Lymphoedema-specific Patient Reported Outcome Measure (LYMPROM) for adults with Lymphoedema
Evidence shows that LYMPROM© offers a reliable and valid tool for use in clinical practice. Scores on three domains allow a more granular assessment of the patient's view of their condition; these scores and the total LYMPROM© score exhibit moderate correlations with more generic EQ5D-5L measures. Further research will explore relationships between patient-level characteristics and LYMPROM© responses, and extend initial work on its cross-cultural validity.
