PRISMA-based flowchart. Articles that report on the use, development, or measurement properties of a PROM will be included. Corresponding authors will be contacted to consult on additional PROMs that may not have arisen from the search, and forward citation hashing will be used to identify articles that cited the work included and are deemed eligible for inclusion. Once this iterative process does not lead to new PROMs being identified phase 1 has been completed (availability). Moving to phase 2, secondary searches will be performed for each identified PROM to ensure all articles about measurement properties for each of the identified PROMs are allocated and considered. The quality of all individual studies reporting on measurement properties is evaluated using standard criteria. End products include a minimum of two systematic reviews (availability of PROMs, and on the quality of PROMs) as well as the start of a PROM repository
