Patient-Reported Outcome Measures in Core Outcome Sets targeted overlapping domains but through different instruments

The last years have witnessed an increased commitment by the health services research and professional community to involving patients and the public in the development, delivery and evaluation of health care services [1]. In parallel, the assessment of patient-reported outcomes (PROs) has gained international traction as one of the enablers of patient-centered healthcare. Regulatory agencies define a PRO as any report of the status of a patient's health condition that comes directly from the patient, without interpretation by a practitioner or anyone else [2,3].
