Informed consent

Informed consent is the process in which a health care provider educates a patient about the risks, benefits, and alternatives of a given procedure or intervention. The patient must be competent to make a voluntary decision about whether to undergo the procedure or intervention.

Observer-reported outcome (ObsRO)

An observer-reported outcome (ObsRO) is a type of clinical outcome assessment (COA). A measurement based on a report of observable signs, events or behaviors related to a patient’s health condition by someone other than the patient or a health professional. Generally, ObsROs are reported by a parent, caregiver, or someone who observes the patient in daily life and are particularly useful for patients who cannot report for themselves (e.g., infants or individuals who are cognitively impaired). An ObsRO measure does not include medical judgment or interpretation. ObsRO measures include:

  • Rating scales, such as:
      - Acute Otitis Media Severity of Symptoms scale (AOM-SOS), a measure used to assess signs and behaviors related to acute otitis media in infants
      - Face, Legs, Activity, Cry, Consolability scale (FLACC), a measure used to assess signs and behaviors related to pain
  • Counts of events (e.g., observer-completed log of seizure episodes)
