The ICHOM Set of Patient-Centered Outcome Measures for Craniofacial microsomia is the result of hard work by a group of leading physicians, measurement experts and patients. It is our recommendation of the outcomes that matter most to persons with Craniofacial microsomia. We urge all providers around the world to start measuring these outcomes to better understand how to improve the lives of their patients.
- Recommended to track via Paediatric Sleep Questionnaire (PSQ) and polysomnography.
- Recommended to track via the Intelligibility in Context Scale (ICS), Percentage of Consonants Correct (PCC), and CleftQ Speech and Feelings about Speaking Scale, and audiogram.
- Includes dentition, oral symptoms, mastication and occlusion. Recommended to track via DMFT, COHIP Oral Symptoms Scale, CleftQ Eating and Drinking Scale, and Cephalometrics.
- Includes facial profile, asymmetry, smile, ears, eyes and jaw. Recommended to track via PAT-CFM, CleftQ Appearance Scale, and Ear HrQoL tool.
- Includes psychometrics, sociometrics, anxiety and depression, health-related QoL, and family stress. Recommended to track via CleftQ Psychological and Social Wellbeing Scales, Young Person’s Core (YP-CORE) tool, Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), Craniofacial Experience Questionnaire (CFEQ), and Parental Stress Index (PSI).
All of the basic information you need to implement ICHOM Sets is available in the links above. However, for a faster, more easily integrated process, we offer digitised versions of the Set measures. These are designed for immediate upload to existing EMR systems. This is available as part of our Accreditation package, which recognises your work in putting patient outcomes at the heart of treatment.
