Summary of the OPROCS project:

The Older persons Relevant Outcome of Care Score (OPROCS) project has the aim to construct a preference-weighted composite endpoint (CEP) based on the health state preferences of older persons, informal caregivers and healthcare professionals.

The CEP is multidimensional and combines eight components derived from the TOPICS-MDS*: morbidities, functional limitations, emotional well-being, pain experience, cognitive functioning, self-perceived health, and self-perceived quality of life.

Benefits of using this CEP (called TOPICS-CEP) is that the overall value of interventions can be indexed in a standardized manner which makes the evaluation process of various interventions or research projects easier and more objective.
