Yet treatment outcomes are seldom measured from the perspective. purpose present study was to perform in-depth qualitative interviews with patients diagnosed varying types identify important them. Method: Participants were recruited wound care clinics in Canada, Denmark, Netherlands and US, included if they had (i.e., lasting ≥3...
The number of patients with obesity is rising, along the desire for bariatric and postbariatric surgery. Applying a single surgical technique to all challenging due body deformities that result from massive weight loss variety in shape. Due large who wish have contouring surgery, Catharina Hospital Eindhoven has been perfecting its techniques years. This article describes standardized preoperative markings fleur-de-lis abdominoplasty, lower lift, inner thigh brachioplasty. offers an overview...
Plastic surgery to improve chest appearance is becoming increasingly popular. The BODY-Q a patient-reported outcome instrument designed for weight loss and/or body contouring. In this article, the authors describe development of new module masculinizing contouring surgery.Qualitative methods were used develop Chest Module, which was subsequently field-tested in Canada, United States, Netherlands, and Denmark between June 2016 2017. Participants aged 16 years or older seen gynecomastia, loss,...
Summary Quality of life is a key outcome that not rigorously measured in obesity treatment research due to the lack standardization patient‐reported outcomes (PROs) and PRO measures (PROMs). The S.Q.O.T. initiative was founded Standardize measurement Obesity Treatment. A first face‐to‐face, international, multidisciplinary consensus meeting conducted identify PROs preferred PROMs for research. It comprised 35 people living with (PLWO) healthcare providers (HCPs). Formal presentations,...
Background: Chronic wounds are a significant burden on healthcare systems due to high costs of care (2%–4% total cost) and considerable patient’s quality life. Patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) questionnaires developed enable patient self-assessments their outcomes. A gap in knowledge exists because previous reviews wound-specific PROMs did not evaluate the development. The main question is which PROM has best development properties should be used clinical research. Methods: PubMed,...
Abstract Traditional quality measures for chronic wounds have focused on objective outcomes that are challenging to risk adjust, lack patient input, and limited ability inform improvement interventions. Patient‐reported experience (PREMs) provide information from the perspective regarding health care potential improve patient‐centredness, increase efficiency, generate actionable data improvement. The purpose of this study was understand experiences processes impact among patients with...
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the impact self-reported impaired wound healing on quality life, wellbeing, and mood. It hypothesized that individuals with report significantly poorer mood compared healthy controls. An online survey conducted among 2173 Dutch young adults (18-30 years old) investigate mood, neuroticism, mental resilience. Participants were allocated a control group (N = 1728) or groups comprising infection (WI, N 76), slow-healing wounds (SHW, 272), experienced...
To examine health-related quality of life (HRQL) and satisfaction with appearance in patients who have undergone bariatric surgery (BS) or without subsequent body contouring (BCS) relation to the general population normative for BODY-Q.
Background: There is an exponential rise of patients with massive weight loss because bariatric surgery or lifestyle changes. The result increase folds redundant skin that may cause physical and psychological problems. lower body lift a procedure to correct deformities in the abdomen, mons, flanks, lateral thighs, buttocks. Complication rates are quite high could negatively affect positive outcomes. purpose this study assess complication identify predictors complications optimize outcomes...
Abstract Patient‐reported outcome measures (PROMs) for chronic wounds mainly focus on specific types of wounds. Our team developed the WOUND‐Q use with all in any anatomic location. We conducted 60 concept elicitation interviews patients Canada, Denmark, Netherlands, and United States. Analysis identified concepts interest to scales were formed refined through cognitive 20 input from 26 wound care experts. Scales translated into Danish Dutch. An international field‐test study collected data...
Introduction Most patient-reported outcome measures (PROM) for chronic wounds are specific to a single wound type (eg, pressure ulcer) or part of the body. A barrier assessment in care and research is lack rigorously designed PROM that can be used across types locations. This mixed method study describes protocol an international collaboration develop validate new called WOUND-Q adults with wounds. Methods analysis In phase I, qualitative approach interpretive description elicit concepts...
Background: Around 100 to 200 patients undergo surgical reconstruction every year at our department of plastic and reconstructive surgery after Mohs micrographic for nonmelanoma skin cancer. Objective: The aim this report is provide an overview the type facial reconstructions performed investigate whether we achieved increased, definitive closure rates defect on day excision further improving collaboration between involved departments. Methods: All who underwent Department Plastic...
Patient-reported outcome measures are becoming a standard component in the evaluation of surgical treatments. In 2010, FACE-Q skin cancer module was developed: an English psychometric validated questionnaire that both patient quality life and satisfaction with experience. The consists 11 subscales total 96 questions. An officially translated version Dutch is needed for accepted use Netherlands.We from into accordance to International Society Pharmacoeconomics Outcomes Research World Health...

The purpose this study was evaluate outcomes HBOT in the largest series patients date with mastectomy flap ischaemia. Methods: A retrospective analysis performed 50 breasts requiring for severity ischaemia or evaluated by four independent observers using (SKIN) score. Multivariate logistic regression analyses were used assess...
