Questioning the questionnaire: a Dutch national survey on generic patient-reported outcome measures in traumatology.
Article in Journal of patient-reported outcomes, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundPROMs are fairly new in medical practice. In trauma surgical care in the Netherlands, it is unknown to what extend (generic) PROMs are embedded into clinical care. This study evaluates the awareness of generic PROMs in trauma and orthopedic surgeons in the Netherlands by assessing the current implementation, barriers and facilitators in usage of PROMs and willingness to assess other health domains besides the physical health domain.
methodsA purposive sampling survey was conducted in all active associates of the Dutch Trauma Society. Furthermore all medical members of the regional trauma assembly in multiple network regions were invited to complete the survey.
resultsGeneric questionnaires and information about physical health, mental health, social health and work status were acknowledged as useful In facilitating decisions and information about patients in trauma surgical care. Important assumed barriers of generic PROMs were the inability to intervene in health domains outside surgical treatment modalities (44%) and the negative influence on time management (43%). Yet, 55% of participants acknowledged generic information as the biggest advantage of generic PROMs, because of a wider therapeutic scope for specific health issues and better comparison of health outcomes between subgroups. Sustainable implementation of questionnaires required integration and fully automation of questionnaires in electronic patient files.
conclusionBarriers have to be overcome for successful and sustainable implementation of (generic) PROMs in trauma surgical care. Broad support from trauma care professionals and the development of intelligent technological solutions that can seamlessly support clinical workflows are crucial to successful implementation.
