Main research areas

Patient-Reported Outcome Measurement (PROM); Interpretability; Clinical Thresholds

Brief presentation

Lina Holm Ingelsrud is Senior Researcher at the research group Clinical Orthopaedic Research Denmark (CORH), Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Copenhagen University Hospital, Hvidovre, Denmark. CORH is part of the Clinical Academic Group “Research OsteoArthitis Denmark”, working to improve the quality of life of persons with osteoarthritis.

Lina’s research centers around the use of Patient-Reported Outcome Measurement (PROM) in orthopaedic and musculoskeletal disorders. Her focus is on defining clinical and meaningful thresholds for PROMs to improve their interpretation when used as outcome measures in clinical trials, registry settings and in clinic. In the light of the current emphasis on PROMs in value-based healthcare, Lina aims to improve the use of PROMs in areas where they are especially useful and clarify areas where PROMs may be less appropriate. This work includes both a clinical and a methodological focus on PROM development. She is eager to collaborate locally, nationally, and internationally, across healthcare sectors and initiatives to pursue this aim.
