Trends of Patient-reported Outcome Measures (PROMs) in Multimorbid Medical Patients Hospitalized for an Acute Illness

currently, PROMs and PREMs are not routinely collected and compared among medical inpatients of Swiss university hospitals, nor is a standard set of PROMs and PREMs available for use in Swiss hospitals. The project aims to examine trends in patient-reported outcomes (PROMs), including symptoms, quality of life, and distress, in multimorbid hospitalized patients from admission to 30 days post-discharge. It will also investigate whether PROMs at discharge are linked to the risk of readmission or emergency visits and explore how these outcomes differ in patients who receive low-value care. Additionally, the project will assess the relationship between patient-reported experiences (PREMs) and the provision of low-value care during the hospital stay.
