Patient- and Clinician-Reported Outcomes and Outcome Measures for Edentulous Maxilla Rehabilitated With Implant-Assisted Overdentures: A Systematic Review.

Key Points

To evaluate the standardization of patient- and clinician-reported outcomes for rehabilitating edentulous maxilla with implant-assisted overdentures.
Conducted a systematic review of clinical trials
Analyzed both patient-reported outcomes (PROMs) and clinician-reported outcomes (ClinROs)
Identified gaps in standardization among reported outcomes
Found a frequent use of PROMs in clinical trials
Noted a lack of subjective ClinROs reflecting clinicians' perceptions
Identified the need for standardized outcome measures to facilitate comparisons across studies

Abstract

Although PROMs were frequently employed in clinical trials, the lack of standardization hinders meaningful comparisons across studies. While objective ClinROs were commonly reported, subjective ClinROs reflecting clinicians' perceptions were notably absent.
