Patient- and Clinician-Reported Outcomes and Outcome Measures Evaluating Timing of Implant Placement in the Edentulous Maxilla: A Systematic Review of Clinical Studies.

Key Points

The research aims to analyze the differences in patient and clinician-reported outcomes related to the timing of implant placement in edentulous maxilla.
Conducted a systematic review of clinical studies
Evaluated patient-reported and clinician-reported outcome measures
Assessed heterogeneity in outcome reporting
Identified significant variation in reported outcomes and methods
Highlighted the need for standardized outcome measures
Proposed the development of a core outcome set for better comparability

Abstract

PROs and ClinROs exhibited significant heterogeneity in domains, methods, and reporting. Harmonizing outcome selection and establishing a core outcome set are needed to enhance comparability and reliability.
