Evaluating Recall Periods for Patient-Reported Outcome Measures: A  Systematic Review of Quantitative Methods

The current guidance for selection of recall periods recommends considering the design of the study, nature of the condition, patient ’s burden and ability to recall, and intent of the outcome measure. Empirical study of the accuracy of recall periods is recommended; however, there is not consensus on how to quantitatively evaluate the consistency of results from patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) with different recall pe riods. We conducted a systematic review to describe quantitative methods for evaluating results obtained from PROMs with differing recall periods to lay the groundwork for establishing consensus.
