'Patient-reported outcomes' (PROMS) and 'patient-reported experiences' (PREMS) are increasingly important parameters in evaluating and adjusting clinical procedures and strategies in healthcare.

Validated disease-specific PROMS related to bronchoscopic procedures are not available and examples in the medical literature are very scarce.

The potential usefulness of PROM/PREMS is multiple:

1. Quality improvement within the current clinical care structure
2. Monitoring the health status of the population
3. Contribution to decision-making regarding financing of care
4. Increase employee and patient involvement in clinical care pathways
5. Rationalize the deployment of medical personnel and resources
6. Integration of data in electronic patient files and registers

• Age above 18 years
