Objectives: Value-based healthcare (VBHC) involves the use of standardised outcome measures, including patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs). This study aimed to assess to what extent discussion of PROMs is associated with patient- and person-centredness.
Methods: This study used a separate sample pre-/post-test design and multiple methods (observations, questionnaires, and interviews) in a VBHC care pathway for patients with a vestibular schwannoma, to assess to what extent the implementation of PROMs is associated with a difference in patient- and person-centredness.
Objectives: Patient-reported experience measures (PREMs) can be used for the improvement of quality of care. In this study, the outcome of an open-ended question PREM combined with computer-assisted analysis is compared to the outcome of a closed-ended PREM questionnaire.
Methods: This survey study assessed the outcome of the open-ended questionnaire PREM and a close-ended question PREM of patients with unilateral vestibular schwannoma in a tertiary vestibular schwannoma expert centre.
Objective: To analyze the effect of dizziness-related symptoms on the long-term quality of life (QoL) of patients with unilateral vestibular schwannoma.
Methods: In this cross-sectional study, patients with a unilateral vestibular schwannoma diagnosed between 2004 and 2013 completed a disease-specific QoL questionnaire (Penn Acoustic Neuroma Quality of Life [PANQOL]) and the Dizziness Handicap Inventory (DHI) in 2020. Linear regression was performed to assess the correlation between QoL and the DHI total score, and the scores of the DHI functional, emotional, and physical subdomains.
