Comparison of clinician- and patient-reported outcome measures in 95 abdominoplasty cases using BODY-Q and MCCRO-Q

Abstract/Summary: Patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) and clinician-reported outcome measures (CROMs) are not routinely compared and they could be used to assess outcomes and aid patient selection and informed consent.Between July 2016 and February 2020, we performed a cohort study comparing P...

description Abstract/Summary: Patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) and clinician-reported outcome measures (CROMs) are not routinely compared and they could be used to assess outcomes and aid patient selection and informed consent.Between July 2016 and February 2020, we performed a cohort study comparing PROM versus CROM scores in 95 abdominoplasty cases with all patients undergoing psychological assessment using the Royal Free Hospital and Centre for Appearance Research (RoFCAR) screening tool.Patients and clinicians described significantly improved outcomes from an abdominoplasty procedure (p<0.001; p<0.001), and patients also derived psychological benefits with improved RoFCAR scores (p<0.001). Patients reported a significantly greater improvement between pre- and post-operative outcomes as compared to the clinicians (p=0.017). Clinicians reported worse outcomes in patients with body mass index >30 kg/m2 or patients who had >1000 g of excess fat tissue removed (p=0.005; p=0.017). Clinicians reported better outcomes in patients who achieved massive weight loss through diet and exercise as opposed to bariatric surgery (p=0.044). Patients who underwent concomitant surgical operation had significantly improved clinician-scored outcomes (p=0.047), and patients with post-operative complications achieved worse clinician-scored outcomes (p=0.036). Pre-operative and post-operative scarring, previous pregnancy, and age >50 years did not affect clinician-scored outcomes. None of the tested factors significantly affected how the patients scored these outcomes.We demonstrated that clinicians underestimate the improvement in outcomes described by the patients and they need to be aware of their selection bias when consulting with patients preoperatively, as patients reported improvement regardless of the pre-operative or post-operative variable tested.
