Abstract

Patient-reported outcomes (PROs) have become an important subject in the area of diabetes-related foot complications. Self-reported health-related quality of life (HRQOL) surveys can provide a generic measure of overall health (global) and can be disease specific (i.e., diabetes) or even region specific (i.e., lower-extremity function). Analysis of PRO measures utilizing validated instruments allows health care providers to determine whether medical and surgical treatments are providing patients with the highest level of outcome possible and are actually improving HRQOL. The 36-item Short Form (SF-36), EuroQol five-dimension questionnaire (EQ-5D-5L), and Foot and Ankle Ability Measure (FAAM) are examples of commonly used HRQOL surveys. Low HRQOL has been associated with higher rates of hospital admission and mortality in patients with diabetes. Previous studies have demonstrated that patients with diabetes-related foot disease have low self-reported physical quality of life but do not typically report low mental quality of life. The impact of mental quality of life may be underestimated in these patients using the SF-36. In this article, we will discuss several widely used outcome instruments used to measure patient HRQOL and t...Continue Reading
