Enhancing patient-centered care by offering patients a voice 👉 the impact of cryptoglandular anal fistula extends beyond the physical symptoms of pain and discharge.

New: How can we improve #fistula research and clinical care? By listening to patients themselves 👇🏽 link.springer.com/article/10…
@nusiqbal @DrUgoGrossi @Dr_AlRubaiy @philtozer1 @StMarksFRU @SpringerNature
Our interviews highlighted problems in:
❎️ Diagnosis
❎️ Communication
❎️ Expertise
❎️ After care
As well as extensive impact on #QoL and a lack of focus on patient centred outcomes
Patient input into #AFCOS was crucial, we look forward to sharing the full study soon! #colorectalresearch #colorectalsurgery #fistula #PPI #SoMe4Surgery

Are you a patient with a non-Crohn’s anal fistula? We are developing a tool to measure quality of life and need your input 👇🏼
Why do we need a Core Outcome Set for cryptoglandular anal fistula?
Review of the literature highlights heterogeneity of outcome reporting in fistula research. See our open access article!

To develop the COS, outcomes reported in literature were supplemented with those derived from patient interviews, then put to an international Delphi
