Abstract [eng] Rationale – Guidelines advise for the implementation of patient-reported outcomes (PROMs) to provide crucial insights into patients' perceptions of their disease burden, treatment needs, and quality of life. Despite their proven benefits in managing chronic respiratory diseases like asthma, allergic rhinitis (AR), and rhinosinusitis (RS), there is limited data on their adoption among physicians treating these conditions. Objectives – Our objective is to identify the utilization patterns of PROMs, together with the reasons for their usage and the barriers to their adoption among practitioners managing patients with asthma, AR, and RS. Methods – This was a cross-sectional observational study using a questionnaire encompassing all pertinent PROMs and disseminated to practitioners associated with the ARIA, UCARE, ADCARE, and ACARE networks. Individuals unfamiliar with PROMS or lacking prior experience with it were eliminated. Descriptive and analytical data were utilized, categorized by the frequency and type of PROMs applied. Stata 18.0 was utilized, with p  0.05 across all groups). Conclusions – The use of PROMs is suboptimal, primarily due to time limitations. It is imperative that methods be swiftly implemented to include these techniques into the therapeutic environment to attain enhanced outcomes.
