    Abstract Patient-reported outcomes (PROMs) are becoming more widely implemented across health care for important reasons. However, with thousands of PROMs available and the science of psychometrics becoming more widely applied in health measurement, choosing the right ones to implement can be puzzling. This article provides a framework of the different types of PROMs by organizing them into 4 categories based upon "what" is being measured and "from whom" the questions are asked: (1) condition-specific and domain-specific, (2) condition-specific and global, (3) universal and global, and (4) universal and domain-specific. We delve deeper into each category with clinical examples. This framework can empower health care leaders and policymakers to make more informed decisions when selecting the best PROMs to implement, ensuring PROMs deliver on their potential to promote high quality, patient-centered care.

    Abstract Objectives: This study aimed to improve the understanding of the interrelationships between sociodemographic factors, pregnancy intention, and antenatal care by: (1) identifying sociodemographic predictors of unintended pregnancy; (2) examining associations between unintended pregnancy types and antenatal care (ANC) inadequacy; (3) examining how the association between unintended pregnancy and ANC inadequacy is modified by maternal characteristics; and (4) identifying sociodemographic predictors of ANC inadequacy by pregnancy intention status.
    Methods: We analyzed women 15-49 years of age who participated in the nationwide cross-sectional Vietnam Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey. Pregnancy intention and ANC adequacy were assessed for the most recent live birth within two years preceding survey completion. Weighted Poisson regression was used to estimate risk ratios.
    Results: Of the 1,474 study participants, 17.8% had unintended pregnancy and 29.0% had inadequate ANC. There was no significant confounding-adjusted association between unintended pregnancy and ANC inadequacy, except in those currently not working. Women with intended pregnancy or unintended pregnancy had significantly higher ANC inadequacy risk if they lived in rural areas, were less educated, and had no media exposure, lower wealth status, or more than two children. Younger age, ever given birth, having child loss, and positive attitude towards partner violence were significant predictors of ANC inadequacy only in women with intended pregnancy.
    Conclusions for practice: ANC inadequacy was more strongly predicted by sociodemographic characteristics rather than pregnancy intention, and the sociodemographic variables' prediction of ANC inadequacy was stronger in women with intended pregnancy than unintended pregnancy.

    Abstract Purpose: Early-onset breast cancer incidence has been increasing globally and in Taiwan. However, previous studies have not comprehensively examined how clinical and lifestyle characteristics influence the 5-year survival of breast cancer diagnosed at different stages of adulthood.
    Methods: We analyzed the Taiwan National Cancer Registry and Cause of Death datasets to understand how clinical factors (including tumor and treatment characteristics) and lifestyle factors (including body mass index, cigarette smoking, and alcohol consumption) were associated with the 5-year survival of 8471 young, 57,695 middle-aged, and 14,074 elderly female adult invasive breast cancer patients respectively diagnosed at age 20-39, 40-64, and ≥ 65 years between 2002 and 2015, with mortality follow-up to 2020. Poisson regression was used for obtaining the crude and adjusted 5-year survival risk ratios.
    Results: Clinical and lifestyle characteristics were distributed differently but had mostly similar direction of association with 5-year survival for the three age groups. Receiving any treatment was associated with better survival, especially for elderly patients. Being underweight at initial cancer treatment was associated with worse survival than having normal weight, especially for elderly patients. Current smokers had worse survival than never smokers for middle-aged and elderly patients. The 5-year breast cancer-specific survival was not significantly higher for those of age 45-49 years than 40-44 years, despite the recommended starting screening age is 45 years in Taiwan.
    Conclusion: Our findings contribute to the understanding of early-onset and later-onset female breast cancer characteristics and prognosis, which may inform surveillance and treatment strategies to achieve better breast cancer prognosis.

    Abstract This article investigates the positive consensus problem of a special kind of interconnected positive systems over directed graphs. They are composed of multiple fractional-order continuous-time positive linear systems. Unlike most existing works in the literature, we study this problem for the first time, in which the communication topology of agents is described by a directed graph containing a spanning tree. This is a more general and new scenario due to the interplay between the eigenvalues of the Laplacian matrix and the controller gains, which renders the positivity analysis fairly challenging. Based on the existing results in spectral graph theory, fractional-order systems (FOSs) theory, and positive systems theory, we derive several necessary and/or sufficient conditions on the positive consensus of fractional-order multiagent systems (PCFMAS). It is shown that the protocol, which is designed for a specific graph, can solve the positive consensus problem of agents over an additional set of directed graphs. Finally, a comprehensive comparison study of different approaches is carried out, which shows that the proposed approaches have advantages over the existing ones.

    Abstract Delivering high-quality surgical care requires knowing how best to define and measure quality in surgery. Patient-reported outcomes (PROs) enable surgeons, health care systems, and payers to understand meaningful health outcomes from the patient's perspective and can be measured using patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs). As a result, there is much interest in using PROMs in routine surgical care, to guide quality improvement and to inform reimbursement pay structures. This chapter defines PROs and PROMs, differentiates PROMs from other quality measures such as patient-reported experience measures, describes PROMs in the context of routine clinical care, and provides an overview of interpreting PROM data. This chapter also describes how PROMs may be applied to quality improvement and value-based reimbursement in surgery.
