Introduction Most patient-reported outcome measures (PROM) for chronic wounds are
specific to a single wound type (eg, pressure ulcer) or part of the body. A barrier to outcome
assessment in wound care and research is the lack of a rigorously designed PROM that can

Introduction Our recent systematic review has indicated the lack of a patient-reported
outcome (PRO) instrument to measure health-related quality of life (HRQOL) of children and
adolescents with lower limb deformities. We are developing a PRO instrument which will be
applicable internationally across various countries. This manuscript describes our approach
to the development of a new PRO instrument for measuring HRQOL for children and
adolescents with lower limb deformities. Methods and analysis Three phases in the …
