Key result
Patient-reported outcomes (PROs) provide a comprehensive evaluation of postoperative symptom recovery and quality of life, serving as a valuable metric for assessing the efficacy of Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) in thoracic surgery.
Why the study?
Despite the benefits of enhanced recovery after surgery in reducing perioperative complications and shortening hospital stays, concern for perioperative patient management and postoperative quality of life has not been high enough.
This review highlights the growing importance of patient-reported outcomes in evaluating the clinical efficacy of enhanced recovery after thoracic surgery.

Supports PRO incorporation into thoracic ERAS evaluations; extends literature but requires prospective validation before adoption.
The good effect of enhanced recovery after surgery is reflected in reducing the incidence of perioperative complications and shortening the hospital stays. However, the concern for the management of perioperative patients and the quality of life of patients after surgery is not high enough. Evaluating clinical efficacy from the perspective of patient-reported data has received increasing attention. Combining the current domestic and foreign research results on the outcome of patient reports, this article systematically discusses the concept connotation, research significance, and clinical application of thoracic surgery for the outcome of patient reports with proposing a clinical outcome research model that draws on foreign patient reports to develop Chinese characteristics. Combine the related research of discipline characteristics, and summarize and analyze the existing literature reports. .
