While the underlying report could be more clear about this, it seems evident that since it relies upon hospital-reported discharge data, which presumably relies upon patient or EMT reports, that there's likely conflation of e-bikes, e-motos, and other vehicle types.

Worth noting work like this relies on large pools of measures collected and shared publicly; such work is not even structurally POSSIBLE for a great deal of clinical patient-reported outcome-style health scales because many disallow using individual items for any purpose w/out permission. Maddening.

Notably, the mean regret score of 4.3 in the current sample was substantially lower than the mean DRS score of 16.5 reported in a meta-analysis of studies using the DRS in a variety of patient populations, which itself was characterized as reflecting low regret.

Integrating Patient-Reported Outcome Measures Through the Health Outcomes Observatory (H2O) Digital Infrastructure: Multicenter Mixed Methods #feasibility Study
Background: The integration of patient-reported outcomes (PROs) into routine clinical practice remains limited despite their well-documented benefits in facilitating clinical communication and research. Systematic digital PRO collection can enable real-time symptom monitoring, timely clinical interventions, and greater patient empowerment. The Health Outcomes Observatory (H2O) initiative was developed to enable systematic digital patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) collection and integration with clinical data to support value-based, patient-centered care across health care systems. Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the #feasibility, #usability, acceptability, clinical utility, and implementation of the H2O digital infrastructure from patient and health care professional perspectives across multiple health care settings and medical conditions. Methods: A noninterventional, multicenter, convergent mixed methods #feasibility study was conducted in Spain, Austria, the Netherlands, and Germany across multiple medical conditions. Locally implemented smartphone, tablet, and web-based solutions captured and displayed PROs. Surveys and interviews assessed #usability, acceptability, perceived clinical utility, and implementation conditions among patients and health care professionals. Results: Of 241 participants assessed initially, 115 (47.7%) contributed follow-up data. Although 83% (44/53) of the respondents indicated willingness to recommend H2O, the mean System #usability Scale (SUS) score was 44.65/100 (SD 9.78), indicating poor #usability. Among 50 participants with paired Patient Satisfaction Questionnaire Short Form assessments, satisfaction with technical quality declined (t49=2.20; P=.03). Interviews identified perceived value alongside login difficulties, technical instability, weak integration with clinical systems, and inconsistent use of PRO data during consultations. Conclusions: The H2O infrastructure could be deployed across heterogeneous settings, and participants perceived value in digital PRO collection; however, poor #usability, substantial attrition, technical friction, and limited workflow integration qualify conclusions about #feasibility and acceptability. More reliable technology, stronger interoperability, and evaluation in larger and more complete samples are needed before broader implementation. Trial Registration:
