| DESCRIPTION OF THE INSTRUMENT | |
| Type Of Measure | Scale |
| Brief Description |
The patient acceptable symptom state (PASS) is the value beyond which patients can consider themselves well. The definition of the PASS is anchored to the personal experience of the patient (satisfaction and adaptation to symptoms), It consists of a global dichotomized simple question about patient's satisfaction of their state of symptoms. |
