Piloting a new patient-related outcome tool to assess cosmetic outcome in Mohs Micrographic Surgery

Abstract

Poor cosmetic outcome is associated with significant negative impact on quality of life (QOL).¹ The degree of psychosocial distress may be more correlated with patient perception rather than objective scar severity. The patient's personal assessment is the primary influence on psychosocial morbidity.¹ Therefore, patient-reported outcome (PRO) instruments are valuable in assessing cosmetic outcome and impact on QOL.
