Patient-reported outcome (PRO) instruments are used to gather data directly from patient self-reports. Their use in clinical trials is increasingly common. As clinical trials continue to cross borders, an instrument developed in one language or culture must be adapted or translated for use in another language or culture. When a PRO instrument is translated into another language the possibility of cultural errors and understandability issues increase; potentially impacting the study data.
