Outcomes research encompasses several key components:
1. Clinical Outcomes: These include measures like survival rates, disease recurrence, and symptom relief. 2. Patient-Reported Outcomes (PROs): These involve patients' perspectives on their health status, quality of life, and satisfaction with care. 3. Economic Outcomes: These assess the cost-effectiveness of treatments and their impact on healthcare expenditures. 4. Functional Outcomes: These evaluate patients' ability to perform daily activities and maintain independence.
