Systematic review of patient-reported outcome item libraries in cancer research: an EORTC QLG study

PRO item libraries are increasingly used to create customized item lists in oncology research, primarily for symptom assessment. However, reporting practices for methods used are inconsistent, highlighting the need for standardized guidelines for reporting PRO item lists in clinical trials and routine care to improve transparency, reproducibility, and quality.

Abstract

PRO item libraries are increasingly used to create customized item lists in oncology research, primarily for symptom assessment. However, reporting practices for methods used are inconsistent, highlighting the need for standardized guidelines for reporting PRO item lists in clinical trials and routine care to improve transparency, reproducibility, and quality.
