[Single Assessment Numeric Evaluation (SANE)-a promising and valid measuring tool related to patient-reported outcome measures (PROM)].

Abstract

Patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) are clinical measurement tools that capture the health status and outcomes of medical interventions from the patient's perspective. The aim of this study was to investigate the correlation between the Oxford Elbow Score (OES) and Single Assessment Numeric Evaluation (SANE) retrospectively. The study examined 86 patients between December 2018 and February 2019 using the Pearson correlation coefficient between SANE and OES. OES and SANE correlated significantly (r = 0.903, p < 0.001), so that SANE can be considered a promising outcome parameter alongside established scores.
