Evidence of Selection Bias and Non-Response Bias in Patient Satisfaction Surveys.

Conclusions: Demographically, patients who were administered and patients who responded to PG surveys differed from the overall population of patients seen in an outpatient orthopedic setting, evidencing both selection and non-response bias. Because of these differences, and considering the small number of survey returned, caution should be exercised when interpreting and applying these data.Level of Evidence: III.
