Patient-reported outcome (PRO)

In Data & data management

A patient-reported outcome is any report of a participant's health status that comes straight from the participant. It captures things only the person can know, such as pain, fatigue, or how well they can carry out daily activities. PROs are increasingly used as trial endpoints, not just as supporting information.
