Patient-reported outcomes in German vasculitis patients-Data from the KOBRA quality project

In this study 420 patients were recruited and follow-up data were available from 302. On average, improvements were documented in all 5 dimensions of the EQ-5D, with the strongest effects in self-care and coping with activities of daily living. In the AAV-PRO, highly significant differences were seen in the domains systemic symptoms and physical functioning. Satisfaction with medical and nursing treatment was very high and did not correlate with pain level or with the AAV-PRO measures.DISCUSSION: Under zreatment patient-reported outcomes improve at least partially in vasculitis patients. Satisfaction with medical treatment quality is independent of these outcomes.PMID:37831191 | DOI:10.1007/s00393-023-01437-z
