Project description:ImportancePrevious research suggests that clinicians view realistic patient expectations as the most important nonaudiological factor in the decision to proceed with a cochlear implant (CI). However, clinicians have few data to determine whether patients' outcome expectations are realistic.ObjectiveTo address this unmet clinical need through the development and psychometric analysis of a new patient-reported outcome measure, the CI Quality of Life (CIQOL) Expectations.Design, setting, and participantsThis cross-sectional study was conducted at a tertiary CI center from February 26, 2020, to August 31, 2021. First, a team comprising 2 CI audiologists, a CI surgeon, a hearing scientist, and 2 psychometricians with experience in instrument development converted all items from the CIQOL-35 Profile instrument into statements reflecting expected outcomes. Then, cognitive interviews with 20 potential CI users assessed the clarity and comprehensiveness of the new instrument. Next, responses to the CIQOL-Expectations instrument for 131 potential adult CI candidates were psychometrically analyzed using confirmatory factor analysis and item response theory. Finally, degree to which patient expectations changed from before to after and their CI evaluation appointments was measured.InterventionThe CIQOL-Expectations instrument.ResultsOf 178 participants, 85 (47.8%) were female, and there was 1 (0.6%) Asian, 26 (14.6%) Black or African American, 1 (0.6%) Latinx, and 150 (84.3%) White individuals. No major content or grammar changes were identified during the cognitive interviews. Overall, all CIQOL domains demonstrated adequate to strong psychometric properties. Several domains did not meet all a priori established indicators of model fit or ability to separate CI users based on response patterns, but all met most indicators. Potential CI users demonstrated the highest mean (SD) expectation scores for the environment (70.2 [20.8]) and social (68.4 [18.0]) domains. In addition, the entertainment (20 [15.3%]) and environment (31 [24.4%]) domains had the highest percentage of patients with expectation scores of 100. Yet, normative CIQOL-35 Profile data from experienced CI users suggested few patients obtain this high degree of functional benefit after implant.Conclusions and relevanceThe results of this cross-sectional study suggest that the CIQOL-Expectations instrument may provide an opportunity to assess potential CI users' expected outcomes using modification of an established CIQOL instrument and a patient-centered framework. The included items and domains reflect real-world functional abilities valued by CI users and may provide opportunities for an evidence-based shared decision-making approach to the CI evaluation process. With this instrument, clinicians can compare individual patients' pre-CI outcome expectations with established normative data and provide appropriate counseling.

Project description:BackgroundRecent events in health care reform have brought national attention to integrating patient experiences and expectations into quality metrics. Few studies have comprehensively evaluated the effect of patient expectations on patient-reported outcomes (PROs) after surgery. The purpose of this study is to systematically review the available literature describing the relationship between patient expectations and postoperative PROs.MethodsWe performed a search of the literature published before November 1, 2012. Articles were included in the review if (1) primary data were presented, (2) patient expectations regarding a surgical procedure were measured, (3) PROs were measured, and (4) the relationship between patient expectations and PROs was specifically examined. PROs were categorized into 5 subgroups: Satisfaction, quality of life (QOL), disability, mood disorder, and pain. We examined each study to determine the relationship between patient expectations and PROs as well as study quality.ResultsFrom the initial literature search yielding 1,708 studies, 60 articles were included. Fulfillment of expectations was associated with improved PROs among 24 studies. Positive expectations were correlated with improved PROs for 28 studies (47%), and poorer PROs for 9 studies (15%). Eighteen studies reported that fulfillment of expectations was correlated with improved patient satisfaction, and 10 studies identified that positive expectations were correlated with improved postoperative. Finally, patients with positive preoperative expectations reported less pain (8 studies) and disability (15 studies) compared with patients with negative preoperative expectations.ConclusionPatient expectations are inconsistently correlated with PROs after surgery, and there is no accepted method to capture perioperative expectations. Future efforts to rigorously measure expectations and explore their influence on postoperative outcomes can inform clinicians and policymakers seeking to integrate PROs into measures of surgical quality.

Project description:STUDY DESIGN: A prospective case series of patients undergoing lumbar spine surgery. OBJECTIVE: Is there a correlation between patients' expectations before lumbar surgery, postoperative outcomes, and satisfaction levels? METHODS: A prospective study of 145 patients undergoing primary, single-level surgery for degenerative lumbar conditions was conducted. Oswestry Disability Index, back Visual Analog Scale (VAS), and leg VAS were assessed preoperatively and at 6 weeks and 6 months after surgery. Patients' expectations were measured preoperatively by asking them to score the level of pain and disability that would be least acceptable for them to undergo surgery and be satisfied. Satisfaction was assessed 6 weeks postoperatively with a Likert scale. Differences in patient expectations between actual and expected improvements were quantified. RESULTS: Most patients had a clinically relevant improvement, but only about half achieved their expectations. Satisfaction did not correlate with preoperative pain or disability, or with patient expectation of improvement. Instead, satisfaction correlated with positive outcomes. CONCLUSIONS: Patient expectations have little bearing on final outcome and satisfaction. [Table: see text].

Project description:BackgroundSinonasal symptoms and poor quality of life (QOL) prompt chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) patients to undergo sinus surgery (ESS). However, little is known regarding the symptoms most important to patients and how these impact expectations and postoperative satisfaction.MethodsA prospective, multi-institutional cohort study of 100 CRS patients undergoing ESS completed a novel adaptation of the 22-item Sino-Nasal Outcome Test (SNOT-22) wherein they rated how important it was for specific symptoms to improve after surgery, along with preoperative expectations and postoperative satisfaction. The primary satisfaction measure was whether a patient would choose to undergo endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) again. A multivariate, logistic regression model was built using demographics, objective measures, and the adapted SNOT-22 data. Spearman correlation analysis was also performed.ResultsNasal obstruction was rated as "extremely" or "very" important by 93% of patients, followed by smell/taste, thick nasal discharge, need to blow nose, postnasal discharge, and sleep symptoms (range, 61-72%). Symptoms like sadness and embarrassment were not considered important by preoperative patients (≤28%). In multivariate logistic regression, postoperative satisfaction depended on preoperative expectations being met and ESS improving their most important symptoms (odds rato, 19.6-27.5; p < 0.005). Postoperative satisfaction was not correlated with achieving a minimal clinically important difference, but it was correlated with magnitude of change in SNOT-22 (r = 0.35; p < 0.05).ConclusionsNasal, smell, and sleep-related symptoms were consdidered most important by this cohort. Meeting of preoperative expectations, improvement of the most important symptoms, and the magnitude of change in the SNOT-22 may drive postoperative satisfaction.

Project description:BackgroundPatient expectations can be difficult to conceptualise and are liable to change with time, health and environmental factors. Patient expectation is known to influence satisfaction, however little is known about the expectations of patients attending for podiatric surgery. This paper will explore the expectations of a large cohort of patients undergoing elective foot surgery.MethodsThe UK based podiatric audit of surgery and clinical outcome measurement (PASCOM) audit system was applied to a consecutive cohort of patients undergoing elective podiatric surgery in Doncaster, South Yorkshire between 2004 and 2010. Data was collected relating to the surgical episode and patient expectations. A patient questionnaire was administered at 6 months post intervention.ResultsA total of 2910 unique surgical admissions were completed and satisfaction questionnaires were returned by 1869 patients. A total of 1430 patients answered question 1 which relates to patient expectations. Pain relief was the most frequent expectation with 1191 counts (52.3%), while footwear and mobility accounted for 16.6% and 16.4% respectively. Cosmesis counts occurred less commonly; 12.2%. 709 patients (49.6%) stated only a single expectation, 599 patients (41.9%) stated two expectations, 114 patients (8%) stated three expectations and 7 patients (0.5%) stated 4 expectations. Pain relief was the dominant expectation accounting for 515 counts (72.6%) of patients who provided only one response.ConclusionsThis paper demonstrates the expectations of a large cohort of podiatric surgery patients. For the most part patients expect pain relief, improved mobility and improved shoe fitting, while a small number of patients also expect a cosmetic improvement. Further research is required to determine the relationship between patient expectation and health related quality of life, and to determine whether podiatric surgery is successful in addressing the expectations of patients.

Project description:IntroductionNumerous studies have shown that hypnotherapy (HT) is effective in irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) using traditional symptom severity end points. However, there is now interest in capturing the patient's perception of their illness and treatment because what patients expect from their treatment may differ from that of their healthcare provider.ObjectiveTo record patient perceptions and expectations of hypnotherapy as well as their symptom response.Methods150 consecutive IBS patients (116 females, 34 males, aged 16-81 years) receiving hypnotherapy completed questionnaires recording IBS symptom severity, quality of life, noncolonic symptoms, anxiety and depression levels before and after treatment. Their expectations and perceptions of HT were also recorded, including a free text reflection.Results121 patients (81%) responded to treatment consistent with our previous experience. Symptom severity scores, noncolonic symptoms, quality of life, anxiety and depression significantly all improved after HT (p < 0.001). Expectancy of an improvement with hypnotherapy was greater in those who did not respond to treatment (63%) than those who did (57%, p < 0.001). Scepticism and apprehension were common before treatment and replaced with enthusiasm afterwards. Free text responses after treatment were overwhelmingly positive. Patients also reported a variety of other benefits and even 20 of 29 symptom nonresponders (70%) still considered treatment worthwhile.ConclusionAlthough initially perceived negatively, hypnotherapy improved symptoms and resulted in a wide range of additional benefits. Expectation did not necessarily influence outcome. Recording IBS symptoms alone does not fully capture the patient's experience of treatment and needs to be considered in future research.

Project description:It is important for surgeons to understand patients' expectations for surgery. We asked whether patient factors and preoperative functional outcome scores reflect the degree of expectations patients have for posterior spinal surgery. Second, we asked whether patients' expectations for surgery predict improvements in functional outcome scores after surgery. We prospectively enrolled 155 consecutive surgical patients with greater than 90% followup. Patients' expectations were evaluated preoperatively along with SF-36 and Oswestry disability questionnaires. Postoperatively (6 months for decompression; 1 year for fusions), we quantified patient-derived satisfaction regarding whether expectations were met and by patient-derived functional outcome scores. In patients undergoing decompression, gender, SF-36 general health domain, and SF-36 physical component score predicted patients with high expectations for surgery. Patients with high expectations also reported greater postoperative improvements in SF-36 role physical domain scores after surgery. Expectations for surgery were met in 81% of patients. In a subset of patients (21 of 143), expectations were not met. These patients reported lower mean preoperative SF-36 general health, vitality, and mean mental component scores.
