PATIENT - REPORTED OUTCOME MEASUREMENTS (PROMs)
A Patient-Reported Outcome Measurements survey is a special tool used within healthcare; its purpose is to capture patients' views concerning own health status, quality of life, and the results of medical treatments. These questionnaires focus on the outcomes of symptoms, function, or general well-being after receiving certain care or having a particular intervention.

KOOS assesses patient pain, other symptoms, function in daily living, function in sports and recreation, and knee-related quality of life.
