Article Synopsis
- The study aims to explore and understand patients' perspectives on the outcomes of carotid surgery, focusing on what matters most to them beyond traditional metrics like mortality and stroke rates.
- Using semi-structured focus group discussions, the research will engage groups of patients who have undergone carotid endarterectomy to gather insights on their experiences and recovery.
- The findings are expected to enhance the understanding of patient-reported outcomes (PROs) and inform improvements in patient-centered healthcare, ultimately helping physicians better meet patients' needs.
