PURPOSE: Survey-based research has emerged as a primary method of evaluating the impact and outcomes of breast reconstruction in an era of patient centered care. Despite increased utilization of patient reported outcomes measures, such as the BREAST-Q surveys, there are few studies assessing non-response among study participants. Differential non-response to surveys threatens the generalizability and validity of studies evaluating patient reported outcomes. The objectives of this study were to identify independent variables associated with non-response to surveys following breast reconstruction to aid in the design and improvement of future patient-reported outcomes research.
