Patient reported outcome measures (PROMs) measure health gains in patients undergoing medical or surgical intervention. PROMs are a good indicator of the quality of care delivered and can be used to monitor patient progress over a period of time. As the name suggests, PROMs are based on patient completed questionnaires. The Oxford Hip Score (OHS) and Oxford Knee Score (OKS) are commonly used to assess quality of care in hip and knee replacements respectively. The health gain is known as the difference between the score after the operation, compared to the score before the operation - a larger health gain would suggest greater improvement following intervention. Mr Kosuge collects PROMs on all of his patients undergoing hip or knee replacements and below are summaries of his data.

The data does not include those who have failed to complete questionnaires - this can introduce bias into the results so results must be interpreted with this in mind.
