Key Points

The aim is to evaluate the use, reporting quality, and interpretability of patient-reported outcome measures in prosthodontic randomized controlled trials.
Analyzed 228 randomized controlled trials published between 2020 and 2025 from high-impact journals.
Data extracted included PROM usage, point estimates, confidence intervals, and evidence of validity and reliability.
Logistic regression assessed factors influencing PROM inclusion as primary outcomes.
44.3% (n=101) reported PROMs in abstracts and 49.6% (n=113) in main text; only 39.8% (n=45) used them as primary outcomes.
Only 38.1% (n=43) reported point estimates with confidence intervals, and only 15% (n=17) provided evidence of validity, reliability, and responsiveness.
A slight upward trend in PROM use was observed but was not statistically significant.
