Overall, this study demonstrated that a documented difference exists in PROM quality depending on the mode of administration. PROM scores obtained via telephone (71.7) are 8.9% higher than scores obtained online (65.3, P , 0.0001), and 13.8% higher than scores obtained via self-administered on paper (61.8, P , 0.0001). Few studies have quantified statistically notable differences between PROM scores based solely on the mode of acquisition in orthopaedic.
