Patient ‐reported outcome measures in oral lichen planus: A comprehensive review of the literature with focus on psychometric properties and interpretability

ConclusionThe range of PROMs used in clinical studies of patients with OLP is wide and include instruments for oral symptoms, psychosocial status and quality of life. The vast majority of these instruments have no evidence of psychometric properties and interpretability for patients with OLP. Further qualitative and validation studies are required to investigate whether these instruments are appropriate for use in this patient population.
