Patient reported outcome
Patient Reported Outcome
Patient Reported Outcome (PRO), pronounced /ˈpeɪʃənt rɪˈpɔːtɪd ˈaʊtkʌm/, is a health outcome directly reported by the patient who experienced it. It stands as a testimony to the patient's health condition, treatment experience, and overall well-being, without interpretation of the patient’s response by a clinician or anyone else.
Etymology
The term "Patient Reported Outcome" is derived from the words "patient", "reported", and "outcome". The word "patient" comes from the Latin word "patiens", from "pati" meaning 'to suffer'. "Reported" is derived from the Latin word "reportare" meaning 'bring back'. "Outcome" originates from the combination of "out" and "come" in English, indicating a result or consequence.
