Patient reported outcome measures relevant to asthma remission: scoping review protocol.

Introduction: Asthma affects over 260 million people globally. Recent advances in asthma care have highlighted remission as a key treatment goal. While remission requires agreement between patients and healthcare providers, there is no standard way to assess the patient experience of remission. This scoping review aims to identify validated Patient Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs) that capture patient experiences of disease remission and may be applicable to asthma. Determining items and domains that are most important to patients will inform the development of a conceptual framework for a PROM for asthma remission. Methods and Analysis: This review will identify PROMs that quantify remission in long-term diseases. It will follow the Joanna Briggs Institute Manual and the PRISMA-ScR guidelines. Two independent reviewers will screen titles and abstracts following a training and calibration phase. Data extraction will also be performed independently by two authors, with disagreements resolved through discussion or a third reviewer. Ethics and Dissemination: No ethics approval is required as no human participants are involved. Findings will be shared at academic conferences and published in peer-reviewed journals.
