Summary

Description

Following the first publication of post-operative scores in September 2010, this is the latest monthly update from the Patient Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs) programme. This publication builds upon the published pre-operative data and considers the change in patients' self-reported health status for the four common elective surgical procedures in the PROMs programme: groin hernia surgery, hip replacement, knee replacement and varicose vein surgery. Please note when opening this CSV file with Excel, or when importing this CSV file into another application, the cell value for organisational code "5E1" (Stockton on Tees PCT) may be interpreted as a numeric rather than alphanumeric value and transformed into the following result "5.00e+1" or "50". You will need to check and amend this value if you intend using the PCT organisational code in any analysis.
