Patient reported outcome measures (PROMS) – 30-day mortality and adverse events post colonoscopy: A prospective observational study from a metropolitan Australian hospital

摘要

Colonoscopy has an excellent internationally proven and accepted safety profile, with large scale studies demonstrating very low rates of post-procedural mortality and severe complications. Little information exists about patient reported outcome measures (PROMs) in Australia. PROMs have been demonstrated to be an advanced measure of quality incorporating patient/user feedback. We performed a patient reported outcome measure quality assurance study of our metropolitan hospital colonoscopy service to identify and assess the incidence of adverse events and mortality occurring at or within 30 days of colonoscopy.
