Abstract
Background
As patient-reported outcomes (PROs) become increasingly valuable, it is important to identify factors related to PRO survey nonresponse. The purpose of this study was to investigate preoperative factors associated with survey response rates two years after hand and wrist surgery.
Methods
Patients enrolled in a surgical registry were administered an electronic survey at baseline and two years after hand and wrist surgery. Questionnaires included demographics, six Patient-Reported Outcomes Information System (PROMIS) domains, Numeric Pain Scales (NPS), Brief Michigan Hand Questionnaire (BMHQ), and Musculoskeletal Outcomes Data Evaluation and Management System (MODEMS) expectations domain. Patients who responded to the 2-year survey were compared to the patients who did not complete any of the 2-year survey.
Results
There were 361 patients who completed the baseline survey and 253 patients (70%) completed the 2-year postoperative survey. Survey nonresponse was associated with younger age, less education, being unmarried, lower income, smoking, alcohol use, injury prior to surgery, worse PROMIS Social Satisfaction, worse PROMIS Pain Interference, worse PROMIS Anxiety, worse NPS joint score, worse BMHQ score, and lower treatment expectations. Multivariable logistic regression analysis confirmed that older age, better baseline BMHQ scores, greater treatment expectations and drinking alcohol 1–4 times per month were independent predictors of increased survey response rate.
Conclusion
This study identified multiple socio-demographic and patient-reported factors related to survey nonresponse two years after hand and wrist surgery. These findings may guide targeted strategies to improve long-term survey response rates following hand and wrist surgery.
期刊介绍:
As the official publication of the French, Belgian and Swiss Societies for Surgery of the Hand, as well as of the French Society of Rehabilitation of the Hand & Upper Limb, ''Hand Surgery and Rehabilitation'' - formerly named "Chirurgie de la Main" - publishes original articles, literature reviews, technical notes, and clinical cases. It is indexed in the main international databases (including Medline). Initially a platform for French-speaking hand surgeons, the journal will now publish its articles in English to disseminate its author''s scientific findings more widely. The journal also includes a biannual supplement in French, the monograph of the French Society for Surgery of the Hand, where comprehensive reviews in the fields of hand, peripheral nerve and upper limb surgery are presented.
Organe officiel de la Société française de chirurgie de la main, de la Société française de Rééducation de la main (SFRM-GEMMSOR), de la Société suisse de chirurgie de la main et du Belgian Hand Group, indexée dans les grandes bases de données internationales (Medline, Embase, Pascal, Scopus), Hand Surgery and Rehabilitation - anciennement titrée Chirurgie de la main - publie des articles originaux, des revues de la littérature, des notes techniques, des cas clinique. Initialement plateforme d''expression francophone de la spécialité, la revue s''oriente désormais vers l''anglais pour devenir une référence scientifique et de formation de la spécialité en France et en Europe. Avec 6 publications en anglais par an, la revue comprend également un supplément biannuel, la monographie du GEM, où sont présentées en français, des mises au point complètes dans les domaines de la chirurgie de la main, des nerfs périphériques et du membre supérieur.
