Each year, 19,000 people undergo colorectal resection, 2,000 people undergo radical bladder removal (cystectomy), and 25,000 people undergo emergency abdominal incision (laparotomy) in the UK. All of these people are at risk of acute intestinal failure syndromes such as lack of intestinal movement (ileus) and small bowel obstruction. Additionally, two thirds of the 271,000 people admitted to critical care each year will suffer a period of acute intestinal failure. These are associated with substantial morbidity, mortality, and healthcare cost.
Patient-reported outcomes or patient-reported outcome measures (referred to as PROs and PROMs respectively) are of increasing relevance in surgical research. These outcomes are reported by patients either as a single outcome (PRO), or across a number of outcomes as part of questionnaire (PROM). There is a distinct lack of PRO and PROM reporting in the field of gastrointestinal recovery. A disease or condition specific outcome measure is much more preferable than a generic measure, as it provides specific information that might not otherwise be captured.
A single PRO will also not capture the whole patient experience of gastrointestinal recovery. Public engagement work has reinforced that patients view ‘quality’ of recovery as being more important than PROs such as 'length of stay in hospital', or 'time to first bowel motion'.
The aim of this study is therefore to develop a PROM for gastrointestinal recovery that can be deployed across common clinical conditions associated with acute gastrointestinal failure.
