- The PROMUSE study found that patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) are underused in clinical practice for atopic dermatitis (AD) and chronic urticaria (CU).
- Primary barriers to PROM use identified by physicians include time constraints, lack of mandate, and perception that patients dislike PROMs.
- Higher rates of barrier perception were observed among male, younger, and non-specialist physicians.
- A strong negative correlation exists between the number of barriers perceived and the frequency of PROM use.
- Key barriers preventing PROM use are the beliefs that PROMs constrain the doctor-patient relationship and that patients dislike them.
- The study suggests re-evaluating and co-developing PROMs with patient involvement to improve patient-centeredness and clinical relevance.
