Qualitative insights from patient/caregivers, and clinicians on routine use of the EQ-5D-Y-5L in clinical paediatric care-results from a pilot feasibility and acceptability trial.
Trial report in Quality of life research : an international journal of quality of life aspects of treatment, care and rehabilitation, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
aimTo qualitatively understand the experiences of patient/caregivers, and clinicians of piloting a generic Paediatric Patient Reported Outcome Measure (P-PROM), the EQ-5D-Y-5L, in Routine Outpatient Care for Kids (ROCK), known as the P-PROM ROCK Program.
methodsSemi-structured interviews and focus groups were conducted online and in-person between April-June 2024. Participants were eligible if they received (patient/caregiver) or delivered (clinician) the P-PROM ROCK Program in the pilot feasibility and acceptability randomised clinical trial. Interviews were audio recorded and transcribed. Detailed notes were generated for focus groups. Transcripts and notes were coded and summarised into themes using thematic analysis.
resultsNine interviews (n = 9 patient/caregivers) and two focus groups (n = 7 clinicians) were conducted. Participants shared that the simplicity and ease of the co-designed P-PROM ROCK Program (including EQ-5D-Y-5L, personalised PROMpt, patient and clinician resources, and integration with systems) was critical to completion and use of EQ-5D-Y-5L in clinical care. When P-PROM results were discussed in appointments, participants shared how this improved communication, resulted in more holistic care, and provided parents with new perspectives on their child's health. P-PROM results were not always discussed, and participants suggested reminder systems to minimise this. Additionally, short appointments and highly specialised clinical scope were barriers to holistic care. Finally, participants found the intervention too brief and wanted longer to better understand its benefits and limitations.
conclusionThe simplicity and ease of P-PROM programs are essential to their uptake and impact in clinical care. The P-PROM ROCK Program requires further refinements and piloting to truly understand its impact.
