The acceptability and perceived benefits of their use in clinical practice remain unknown.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Objectives<\/jats:title><jats:p>To assess the acceptability and perceived benefits of validated PROMs from the perspective of patients and physicians in dermatological offices and clinics.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>Patients with CP due to atopic dermatitis, psoriasis, chronic prurigo or chronic urticaria were recruited at 10 dermatological offices and two dermatological clinics in Germany. Patients completed a set of validated PROMs on pruritus intensity (numerical rating scale, NRS), symptom control (itch\u2010controlled days, ItchCD), quality of life (Dermatology Life Quality Index, DLQI; 5\u2010pruritus life quality, 5PLQ) and general health status (EuroQol, EQ\u2010VAS). Acceptability (relevance, difficulty of completion, length) and benefits (usefulness, feasibility) of these tools were assessed on a NRS (0\u201310) by patients and physicians, respectively. Data were analysed descriptively. Linear regression was used to study potential associations between age, sex, occupation, office versus clinic, change of therapy and physician\u2010reported benefits.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p><jats:italic>N<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u2009523 patients (46% male, average age: 53.5\u2009years) participated. Acceptability of PROMs by patients was high, indicated by low difficulty (Md\u2009=\u20090, IQR\u2009=\u20090\u20131 for all PROMs) and high relevance (Md\u2009=\u20098, IQR\u2009=\u20094\u201310 for all PROMs). Also, most patients (89\u201395%) rated length of the questionnaires as \u2018exactly right\u2019. Physicians rated the NRS as the most beneficial instrument (feasibility: Md\u2009=\u20098, IQR\u2009=\u20096\u201310; usefulness: Md\u2009=\u20099, IQR\u2009=\u20097\u201310). Hierarchical linear regression revealed that only recruitment site (dermatological office vs. clinic) was significantly associated with usefulness and feasibility (higher ratings for clinical context; <jats:italic>\u03b2<\/jats:italic>s\u2009=\u20090.149\u20130.258, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>s &lt;0.05; except feasibility for EQ5d, <jats:italic>\u03b2<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u2009ns).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>PROMs are welcomed by patients, while physicians consider instruments measuring pruritus intensity and impairment of quality of life as beneficial for the clinical routine.
