Overview
Brief Summary
The main objective of the study is to describe function and health related to quality of life during the first year after rehabilitation, to measure the degree and impact of user involvement in the rehabilitation process, assess factors associated with change in work -ability and -participation, and to test measurement properties of a new core set of outcome measures for rehabilitation launched by the Norwegian Directorate of Health.
Detailed Description
This is a large multicentre cohort study including patients receiving rehabilitation at 17 rehabilitation centres from Norway, \*the RehabNytte Consortium. Invitation and registration of participants will be conducted by local project coordinators in the period between 01.01.2019 and 31.03.2020. All participants will receive rehabilitation as usual at each centre, and report HRQoL, health and function (by PROMS) through a digital self-reporting system at admission, discharge and after 3, 6 and 12 months. This study seeks to answer several research questions related to the overarching areas: 1. Patient reported change of function, health and quality of life during the first year after rehabilitation 2. Degree of user involvement in rehabilitation 3. Change in work -ability and -participation 4. Quality assessment (use of Quality indicator set) 5. Measurement characteristics (feasibility and responsiveness) of recommended PROMS in rehabilitation

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
The EuroQoL-5D-5L
Time Frame: 1-3 minutes
5-item questionnaire assessing function and health in walking, ADL, personal care, pain/discomfort and anxiety/depression. Sores could be calculated both as numbers and 'utilities'.
The EuroQoL-VAS health
Time Frame: 1-2 minutes
The EUROQUOL 5D-5L includes a 100 mm VAS scale/thermometer. Index value: 0-1, 1 is best VAS gen health: 0-100, 100 is best
The Patient Specific Functional Scale (PSFS)
Time Frame: 2-6 minutes
Patient-specific instrument. Up to five activities are described by the patient, and scored according to experienced performance (0-10, 10 is best).
PROMIS 29
Time Frame: 5-10 minutes
The PROMIS-29, a generic health-related quality of life survey, assesses each of the 7 PROMIS domains (depression; anxiety; physical function; pain interference; fatigue; sleep disturbance; and ability to participate in social roles and activities) with 4 questions. The questions are ranked on a 5-point Likert Scale. There is also one 11-point rating scale for pain intensity.
