Patient-reported outcomes measures (PROMs) and patient-reported experience measures (PREMs) are increasingly recognized as important health care quality indicators. PREMs measure patients’ perception of the care they have received, differing from satisfaction ratings, which measure their expectations. The use of PREMs in pediatric surgery is limited, prompting this systematic review to assess their characteristics and identify areas for improvement.
Methods
A search was conducted in eight databases from inception until January 12, 2022, to identify PREMs used with pediatric surgical patients, with no language restrictions. We focused on studies of patient experience but also included studies that assessed satisfaction and sampled experience domains. The quality of the included studies was appraised using the Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool.
Results
Following title and abstract screening of 2,633 studies, 51 were included for full-text review, of which 22 were subsequently excluded because they measured only patient satisfaction rather than experience, and 14 were excluded for a range of other reasons. Out of the 15 included studies, questionnaires used in 12 studies were proxy-reported by parents and in 3 by both parents and children; none focused only on the child. Most instruments were developed in-house for each specific study, without patients' involvement in the process, and were not validated.
Conclusions
Although PROMs are increasingly used in pediatric surgery, PREMs are not yet in use, being typically substituted by satisfaction surveys. Significant efforts are needed to develop and implement PREMs in pediatric surgical care, in order to effectively capture children’s and families’ voices.
]. PROMs can measure patients’ health status and the impact of a disease or treatment, including patient symptoms, functional status, quality of life, and health-related quality of life (HRQOL) [
]. The use of PROMs and PREMs has been shown to lead to shared decision-making, improved communication, and detection of overlooked problems, ensuring better and individualized care [
]. PREMs cover domains like communication with staff, access to information, care received, physical and emotional support, shared decision-making, and consideration of the hospital environment [
]. Another confusion is the use of PROMs to assess patients' satisfaction with treatment and treatment preferences. These outcomes represent a distinct measurement construct and should not be confused [
], the use of PREMs is much less frequent, and most of the literature comes from adult experiences, with very few PREMs developed or completed by children [
], compromising the accuracy of their findings. Thus, little is known about the routine use of ‘true’ PREMs in surgical settings for children, and how often children actually provide information about their own experiences.
To address misconceptions and increase PREMs awareness in the field, this study systematically reviewed the use of PREMs in pediatric general surgery. The study objectives were to identify the instruments used, assess their characteristics, and identify areas in which the use of PREMs could be improved. We believe that this review can enhance the development of high-quality PREMs and assist surgical teams and researchers in selecting the most promising tools to capture children's and families’ voices.
1. Methods
We conducted a systematic review of the published literature to broadly investigate patient experience as a process measure in pediatric surgery.
The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines and checklist for conducting systematic reviews were used [
The PRISMA statement for reporting systematic reviews and meta-analyses of studies that evaluate healthcare interventions: explanation and elaboration.
]. The search strategy was developed by a senior medical librarian (EG) and the following databases were searched from the inception of each database until January 12, 2022: Medline (Ovid), Embase (Ovid), Cochrane (Wiley), CINAHL (Ebsco), Global Health (Ovid), Global Index Medicus (WHO), Africa-Wide Information (Ebsco), and Web of Science (Clarivate Analytics). Variations in terms that relate to key concepts, found in the text words of the title, abstract or keyword fields, and relevant subject headings were adopted to retrieve articles looking at patient or family satisfaction and experience measures related to surgery in the pediatric population, with no language restrictions. Reference lists of included studies were reviewed and an additional search for gray literature was also performed.
Translation of articles in foreign languages was undertaken by members of the research team as needed. The full search strategy and the PRISMA checklist can be found in the Supplementary material. The PRISMA-S extension was used for reporting and is included in the Supplementary material.
References found were imported into EndNote X9, where duplicates were removed. Records were imported into the online platform Rayyan[
] to perform the screening. The initial title and abstract screening as well as the full-text screening were completed by two independent reviewers (JF & PP), with a third reviewer (DP) resolving any discrepancies. The primary reasons for study exclusion were documented in an Excel spreadsheet.
1.1 Inclusion and Exclusion Criteria
Studies were included regardless of study design if they used a questionnaire or quantitative assessment to evaluate the experience (or experience and satisfaction together) from the patient’s and/or family’s perspective, and the sample included children aged from 0 to 18 years who underwent a surgical procedure within the specialty of pediatric surgery. Studies that had mixed populations were only included if children’s data were analyzed separately from that of the adult data. Studies assessing parental experience (parents of children who underwent general pediatric surgery) were also included.
Studies were excluded if they reported only satisfaction or outcomes, but not experience; assessments from physicians or other professionals; conditions treated medically rather than surgically, and other surgical specialties besides pediatric surgery. We also excluded studies focused solely on PREMs development, pilot testing, language translation, and measure validation, since the focus of our search was to assess the PREMs actually used in pediatric surgery. Lastly, qualitative studies that did not use any questionnaire or PREM were excluded.
1.2 Data Extraction and Analysis
Data were collected by two reviewers (JF & PP) and compiled in an Excel spreadsheet. The following data were extracted from all studies: year of publication, country of origin, study design, condition studied, instruments used, and their characteristics. To analyze the content of each PREM, we collected information about the instrument type, number of items, domains covered, type of respondent (parent and/or child), survey administration method, and instrument psychometric properties. We verified the instruments’ validation status based on evidence found in the literature [
PedsQLTM 4.0: Reliability and Validity of the Pediatric Quality of Life InventoryTM Version 4.0 Generic Core Scales in Healthy and Patient Populations.
]. Modified previously validated questionnaires or those which were designed ad hoc for specific studies were considered not validated and were classified as “in-house” questionnaires. Since many studies used patient experience and satisfaction interchangeably, we also classified the included questionnaires into three categories.
●
Experience measures which only included experience questions (PREMs)
●
Experience measures which also included satisfaction questions
●
Satisfaction measures which also included experience questions
1.3 Quality Assessment
The risk of bias assessment was undertaken by two independent reviewers (JF & PP). The quality of the included studies was appraised using the Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool (MMAT) [
], a tool designed for the appraisal of systematic mixed study reviews. The MMAT allows the appraisal of the most common types of study methodologies and designs, including qualitative research, randomized controlled trials, non-randomized studies, quantitative descriptive studies, and mixed methods studies [
The initial search yielded 2761 results. After duplicate removal, 2331 titles and abstracts and an additional 302 references from systematic reviews were included for screening. Out of 2633, 51 studies were included for the full-text review, with 15 meeting the inclusion criteria for final data extraction (see Figure 1, PRISMA flow diagram). Table 1 displays all included articles and their characteristics based on author, year, country of origin, study design and objectives, condition studied, and the instrument used.

The number of studies published each year progressively increased between 1993 and 2021. As shown in Figure 2, most of the studies originated in the United States (USA) (8), and the remainder came from high-income countries (HICs) as defined by the World Bank, with most questionnaires available in English only. Regarding study design, there were four non-randomized controlled trials, four cross-sectional studies, three cohort studies, three case-control studies, and one randomized control trial.

Ten distinct questionnaires were identified in the included papers, nine of which were created for the specific study and classified as non-validated, in-house, questionnaires. The remaining questionnaire, used in six studies, was the Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory (PedsQL™) Healthcare Satisfaction Generic Module–Parent Report, a validated generic satisfaction tool with patient experience domains[
PedsQLTM 4.0: Reliability and Validity of the Pediatric Quality of Life InventoryTM Version 4.0 Generic Core Scales in Healthy and Patient Populations.
]. With the exception of the PedsQL™ Healthcare Satisfaction Generic Module, no information was available about the psychometric properties of any of the other questionnaires, and only one questionnaire [
] was piloted before use. Out of the 10 instruments found, only two had patient/parent involvement in their content creation, PedsQL™ Healthcare Satisfaction Generic Module, and the questionnaire from reference [
]. The remaining tools had no mention of patient/parent involvement, with descriptions of items being generated based on literature review and input from clinical experts. Table 2 displays the questionnaires found and their characteristics. Most of the studies (12/15) used the questionnaire only with parents [

The number of questions in each questionnaire varied from 3 to 27. All questionnaires were comprised of closed-ended questions with predetermined answers (including multiple-choice format, Likert scales, and ranking), and eight included at least one open question or comment section [

]. The domains covered mainly patient information and communication, delivery of care, family inclusion, health professional technical skills, emotional support, hospital setting, and overall satisfaction.
2.1 Risk of bias
The risk of bias for each included study is shown in Table 3. Based on the MMAT, the included studies were all of good quality with positive answers to nearly all items. All studies were guided by clear research questions which were answered through the data generated and targeted the designated population. Only two studies had incomplete outcomes [

1. Discussion
This review examined PREM usage in pediatric general surgery. Notably, no true PREM was identified in our review, with most questionnaires being in-house instruments developed for specific studies, without psychometric rigor, validation, or patient involvement. The only validated tool found, the PedsQL™ Healthcare Satisfaction Generic Module Parent Report, is, as its name suggests, primarily a satisfaction survey with some patient experience domains [
PedsQLTM 4.0: Reliability and Validity of the Pediatric Quality of Life InventoryTM Version 4.0 Generic Core Scales in Healthy and Patient Populations.
]. Furthermore, the focus of most questionnaires was limited to the parents' experience, with only a few studies evaluating the child's experience.
The number of publications reporting both patient experience and satisfaction in pediatric surgery has increased in recent years but remains limited, especially when compared to the recent significant increase of PROMs in the field [
]. Surgery adds stress and complexity to the relationship between parents and healthcare providers in an environment where multiple teams interact with the family [
], making patient and family experience challenging to evaluate. However, omitting PREMs from research studies and routine evaluation excludes children’s and families' voices from clinical and policy decisions [
All included studies were from HICs, and predominantly from the USA. Healthcare systems in these countries are shifting toward a patient-centered care model, responsive to patient and family preferences, needs, and values [
]. In fact, some health-governing authorities in HICs have fostered guideline development for including PROMs and PREMs in research and clinical consultations [
Ishaque S. Adaptation and Validation of an Individualised Paediatric Health-Related Quality of Life Measure (Paediatric Measure Yourself Medical Outcome Profile) and its Evaluation in a Clinical Setting. PhD. The University of Adelaide, 2018.
]. Choosing an instrument may be deemed by some to be trivial, but measuring patient-reported outcomes and experiences is complex and requires considerable expertise [
]. PROM and PREM development requires adequate modeling, content generation with patient engagement, correct scaling and testing, and psychometric evaluation [
]. Recent reviews examined the psychometric properties of existing PREMs and concluded that the available tools still have uncertain validity, reliability, and responsiveness [
The current review identified 10 distinct questionnaires among the 15 included articles, 9 created for specific studies, and classified as “in-house” questionnaires. These questionnaires are non-validated, lack reported psychometric properties, and with one exception were not piloted before use. In the absence of validity and reliability data, there is a risk of imprecise, biased, or misleading results [
Another surprising finding of this review was that only two instruments had patient and family involvement in their development. The remaining tools described item generation based on informal literature reviews and input from clinical experts. Questionnaires prepared by clinical professionals answer questions that they consider important, and may collect information that is of scant relevance to patients [
]. Patients and families are experts in their health and experiences; hence ensuring that their voices are at the center of the instrument development processes is essential and justified by scientific ethics and rigor [
A unique challenge in assessing patient experience in pediatric care is that it must be measured from the perspective of both the children and their parents [
]. Disappointingly, most of the studies we reviewed evaluated only the perspective of parents, with very few including children as key stakeholders. As demonstrated by Wray et al., CYP have strong views regarding their hospital experience and are willing to share them [
]. In this PREM development study, CYP engagement was excellent, suggesting that their healthcare experience was important to them, and they wanted their views to be acted on. Thus, whenever possible, self-reported measures are preferable when surveying CYP [

Surprisingly, our review did not identify a single true PREM used in pediatric surgery. In the absence of a true PREM, we included papers with both experience and satisfaction items. We classified all the questionnaires into three categories: 1. mostly satisfaction tools including experience questions, 2. mostly experience tools including satisfaction questions, and 3. PREMs. Papers reporting only satisfaction data were excluded, due to limited accuracy and value. PREMs report on the extent to which specific processes occurred during an episode of care [
Measuring patient experience: a systematic review to evaluate psychometric properties of patient reported experience measures (PREMs) for emergency care service provision.
]. For example, a PREM might ask whether the patient received all post-operative information - while a satisfaction measure would ask how satisfied the patient was with the information received. PREMs can therefore provide more specific information on how a service can be improved [
Measuring patient experience: a systematic review to evaluate psychometric properties of patient reported experience measures (PREMs) for emergency care service provision.
In healthcare, the concept and measurement of patient satisfaction go back to the 1980s, while patient experience only gained importance during the last decade [
]. As noted, satisfaction is more subjective and reflects judgments of healthcare adequacy, not quality. Measures of patient's satisfaction are driven by the fulfillment of patients’ desires regardless of risks, costs, or effectiveness [
]. Patient experience, on the other hand, can be an indicator of quality alongside patient safety and clinical effectiveness measures, though potentially confounded by health outcomes [
], none of the studies reviewed assessed patients and families after major congenital interventions, which constitute the most profound family experiences in our specialty. Instead, the most frequent surgical procedures surveyed were hernia repair, appendectomy, and the excision of soft tissue lesions. This bias in the literature results in major gaps in knowledge about patient experience in pediatric surgery and also misses the long-term longitudinal perspective unique to the developing child with a congenital malformation [
Most studies surveyed their participants during early postoperative follow-up, mainly by phone. Different survey administration methods have unique disadvantages. Telephone surveys require brief questionnaires and can easily generate interviewer bias, postal surveys can be very time consuming and expensive, while web-based surveys can exclude patients with impaired access to the internet [
]. Moreover, smartphone applications can collect patient-reported measures very efficiently, effectively, and longitudinally, and are appealing to children [
], most questionnaires reviewed included open questions or at least a comment section. Closed-ended questions allow the collection of quantitative data and benchmarking within healthcare organizations, but may miss richer information on patient experience. Therefore, the inclusion of narrative information in questionnaires should be encouraged [
], although there are implications for resources for analysis.
Based on the Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool results, the studies we reviewed were of good overall quality, having clear research questions and objectives, targeting the designated population, and analyzing the data appropriately. However, most studies used low-quality in-house questionnaires, thus limiting the accuracy of their findings.
Our study has several limitations. Due to the heterogeneity of instruments identified, our analysis was primarily descriptive. The included articles were also highly heterogeneous in domains evaluated, conditions included, design, and results reported. Some studies reviewed lacked a clear design, requiring our team to classify them following Grimes’ algorithm of study designs [
], hence adding potential classification bias. Furthermore, the small number of included articles may impair the generalizability of our findings. Publication bias must also be considered, since studies showing poor patient satisfaction or experience may be less likely to be published. Regarding the risk of bias analysis, the tool does not provide a final numerical scale, leaving the interpretation of the results to the user - again adding potential bias. Additionally, this review did not include other PREM reporting contexts such as unpublished hospital surveys. However, hospital surveys often have limited psychometric information [
Measuring patient experience: a systematic review to evaluate psychometric properties of patient reported experience measures (PREMs) for emergency care service provision.
], and their inclusion is unlikely to have changed our findings. Lastly, we excluded qualitative experience and satisfaction studies that did not use a formal questionnaire, as they were not the focus of this study.
2. Conclusion
Although PROMs are increasingly used in pediatric surgery, PREMs are not yet in use, being substituted by satisfaction surveys. Moreover, existing surveys are frequently developed in-house without psychometric due diligence and have not been used with patients undergoing complex procedures or over time. Well-developed PREMs are formulated by clinical and patient-centered researchers in partnership with children and families, comprising items relevant and meaningful to them.
Our results highlight the need for more rigorous approach for patient-centered measures and an improved understanding of satisfaction and experience concepts among researchers and pediatric surgical providers. Our findings also call for a shift from developing and using in-house satisfaction surveys to creating psychometrically sound experience instruments for the pediatric surgical population. Future research should consider improving the available tools or creating de novo PREMs able to generate credible data for health service improvement. Lastly, assessing patients' and families' experiences after major interventions remains an important target for the pediatric surgical community.
