Collaboration with patients in the design of patient‐reported outcome measures: Capturing the experience of fatigue in rheumatoid arthritis

Patient‐reported outcome measures (PROMs) need to include concepts and language relevant to patients and be easily understood. These studies aimed to develop draft PROMs to measure rheumatoid arthritis (RA) fatigue and its impact by collaborating with patients to identify language and experiences, create draft PROM items, and test them for comprehension, with decisions supported throughout by a patient research partner.
