Shorter recall period for the thyroid-related patient-reported outcome measure ThyPRO did not change the accuracy as evaluated by repeated momentary measurements.

Conclusions Shortening the recall period of ThyPRO from four to one week was not associated with less recall bias within this subset of items. Nor did 1-week recall seem to compromise the accuracy of ThyPRO. Thus, either version of ThyPRO can be used in future studies.
