ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
Online patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) enable remote collection of perceptions of health status, function, and well-being. We aimed to explore patterns of PROM completion in patients with early inflammatory arthritis (EIA) recruited to the National Early Inflammatory Arthritis Audit (NEIAA).METHODS:
NEIAA is an observational cohort study design; we included adults from this cohort with a new diagnosis of EIA from May 2018 to March 2020. The primary outcome was PROM completion at baseline, 3 months, and 12 months. Mixed effects logistic regression and spatial regression models were used to identify associations between demographics (age, gender, ethnicity, deprivation, smoking, and comorbidity), clinical commissioning groups, and PROM completion.RESULTS:
Eleven thousand nine hundred eighty-six patients with EIA were included, of whom 5331 (44.5%) completed at least 1 PROM. Patients from ethnic minority backgrounds were less likely to return a PROM (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 0.57, 95% CI 0.48-0.66). Greater deprivation (aOR 0.73, 95% CI 0.64-0.83), male gender (aOR 0.86, 95% CI 0.78-0.94), higher comorbidity burden (aOR 0.95, 95% CI 0.91-0.99), and current smoker status (aOR 0.73, 95% CI 0.64-0.82) also reduced odds of PROM completion. Spatial analysis identified 2 regions with high (North of England) and low (Southeast of England) PROM completion.CONCLUSION:
We define key patient characteristics (including ethnicity) that influence PROM engagement using a national clinical audit. We observed an association between locality and PROM completion, with varying response rates across regions of England. Completion rates could benefit from targeted education for these groups.Palabras clave
