The recent book, Patient-Reported Outcomes, Measurement, Implementation and Interpretation, by Cappelleri and his colleagues 1 is a timely synthesis of the current thinking and practice of psychometrics applied to patient-reported outcomes (PROs), and PRO data analysis. Written primarily by statisticians drawn from the same large multinational pharmaceutical company, the book is squarely aimed at health economists, outcomes researchers and statisticians in the industry who may require a foundation in psychometrics arid the analysis of PRO data. That said it may also be of benefit and utility to advanced researchers in academia and consultancy wanting to increase their knowledge in this field.
