The aim of this study was to compare the most widely used PROMS in Dupuytren´s disease, their psychometric properties, and their association with objectively measured hand function. We show a prospective study in which two disease-specific questionnaires (URAM scale and SDSS) and two hand-specific questionnaires (briefMHQ and PEM) were administered before and a month after the treatment with collagenase.

The aim of this study was to compare the number, type, and severity of AEs perceived and reported by patients and by their physician METHODS: To assess AEs following CCH injection in a standardized way, patients were given a list of predefined complications and asked to rate their severity on a 4-point Likert scale ranging from 1 (serious) to 4 (insignificant).
Results: Eighty-five patients were included.
