Taken from the report, Patient Reported Outcome Measures (PROMS) in England 2009/2010, the maps (attached) are based on the results of questionnaires completed by patients before and after they undergo surgery.
They show the average adjusted health gain for each procedure measured using the EQ-5D Index score. The difference between the two results indicates how much patients report benefiting from their surgery. The experimental report focuses on:
- hip replacements
- knee replacements
- groin hernia surgery, and
- surgery on varicose veins.
