Core Tip	In healthcare, patient-reported outcomes and patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) help track changes in complex clinical situations. They provide evidence-based guidance for patient care by showing how a treatment affects a specific condition and if the patient benefits from it. For PROMs to be useful, they must be reliable and able to detect real changes. Regular use of structured outcome measures helps doctors understand a patient's limitations better than just an office interview. This allows for meaningful discussions and personalized treatment plans. Understanding how to measure treatment effects with PROMs is crucial, as there are many different metrics, often used interchangeably. This article explains these metrics, their limitations, and their practical use in healthcare.
