    Background: In medical research, it is necessary to have appropriate tools to assess the treatments effectiveness. Lately self reported structured questionnaires have been widely used. Recently, there is increasing use of Patient-rated wrist evaluation(PRWE). Against this background and in our service, few studies compared PRWE to the usual subjective and objective measures. Objective: The study aim was to evaluate the correlation between the PRWE score with other measures already widely used. Methods: A prospective cross-sectional study, single center. Sixty-eight consecutive patients underwent surgical treatment for distal radius fractures (internal fixation by locked volar plate or transarticular external fixation). Were evaluated independently by PRWE, DASH, VAS range of motion, strength and radiographic criteria, in 1 year follow up. We used the Mann-Whitney test to compare continuous variables and the Spearman correlation to correlate the outcomes in interest. Results: PRWE correlated significantly with DASH (p <0.001) and VAS (p <0.001). There was no significant correlation with another outcome measures. Conclusion: PRWE presentes significant moderate correlation only with DASH and VAS. Range of motion, strength and radiographic criteria do not interfere in the PRWE outcome.
