RESUMO

Chronic kidney disease (CKD), kidney failure, and kidney replacement therapies are associated with high symptom burden and impaired health-related quality of life (HRQOL). Symptoms change with disease progression or transition between treatment modalities and frequently go unreported and unmanaged. Tools that reliably monitor symptoms may improve the management of patients with CKD. Patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) assess symptom severity; physical, psychological, social, and cognitive functioning; treatment-related side effects; and HRQOL. Systematic use of PROMs can improve patient-provider communication, patient satisfaction, clinical outcomes, and HRQOL. Potential barriers to their use include a lack of engagement, response burden, and limited guidance about PROM collection, score interpretation, and workflow integration. Well-defined, acceptable, and effective clinical response pathways are essential for implementing PROMs. PROMs developed by the Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) address some challenges and may be suitable for clinical use among patients with CKD. PROMIS tools assess multiple patient-valued, clinically actionable symptoms and functions. They can be administered as fixed-length, customized short forms or computer adaptive tests, offering precise measurement across a range of symptom severities or function levels, tailored questions to individuals, and reduced question burden. Here we provide an overview of the potential use of PROMs in CKD care, with a focus on PROMIS.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVES: To compare physical function in systemic sclerosis (SSc, scleroderma) to general population normative data and identify associated factors. METHODS: Scleroderma Patient-centered Intervention Network Cohort participants completed the Physical Function domain of the Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System Version 2 upon enrolment. Multivariable linear regression was used to assess associations of sociodemographic, lifestyle, and disease-related variables. RESULTS: Among 2385 participants, the mean physical function T-score (43.7, SD = 8.9) was ∼2/3 of a standard deviation (SD) below the US general population (mean = 50, SD = 10). Factors associated in the multivariable analysis included older age (-0.74 points per SD years, 95% CI -0.78 to -1.08), female sex (-1.35, -2.37 to -0.34), fewer years of education (-0.41 points per SD in years, -0.75 to -0.07), being single, divorced, or widowed (-0.76, -1.48 to -0.03), smoking (-3.14, -4.42 to -1.85), alcohol consumption (0.79 points per SD drinks per week, 0.45-1.14), BMI (-1.41 points per SD, -1.75 to -1.07), diffuse subtype (-1.43, -2.23 to -0.62), gastrointestinal involvement (-2.58, -3.53 to -1.62), digital ulcers (-1.96, -2.94 to -0.98), moderate (-1.94, -2.94 to -0.93) and severe (-1.76, -3.24 to -0.28) small joint contractures, moderate (-2.10, -3.44 to -0.76) and severe (-2.54, -4.64 to -0.44) large joint contractures, interstitial lung disease (-1.52, -2.27 to -0.77), pulmonary arterial hypertension (-3.72, -4.91 to -2.52), rheumatoid arthritis (-2.10, -3.64 to -0.56) and idiopathic inflammatory myositis (-2.10, -3.63 to -0.56). CONCLUSION: Physical function is impaired for many individuals with SSc and is associated with multiple disease factors.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: Lupus nephritis (LN) can occur as an isolated component of disease activity or be accompanied by diverse extrarenal manifestations. Whether isolated renal disease is sufficient to decrease health related quality of life (HRQOL) remains unknown. This study compared Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System 29-Item (PROMIS-29) scores in LN patients with isolated renal disease to those with extrarenal symptoms to evaluate the burden of LN on HRQOL and inform future LN clinical trials incorporating HRQOL outcomes. METHODS: A total of 181 LN patients consecutively enrolled in the multicentre multi-ethnic/racial Accelerating Medicines Partnership completed PROMIS-29 questionnaires at the time of a clinically indicated renal biopsy. Raw PROMIS-29 scores were converted to standardized T scores. RESULTS: Seventy-five (41%) patients had extrarenal disease (mean age 34, 85% female) and 106 (59%) had isolated renal (mean age 36, 82% female). Rash (45%), arthritis (40%) and alopecia (40%) were the most common extrarenal manifestations. Compared with isolated renal, patients with extrarenal disease reported significantly worse pain interference, ability to participate in social roles, physical function, and fatigue. Patients with extrarenal disease had PROMIS-29 scores that significantly differed from the general population by > 0.5 SD of the reference mean in pain interference, physical function, and fatigue. Arthritis was most strongly associated with worse scores in these three domains. CONCLUSION: Most patients had isolated renal disease and extrarenal manifestations associated with worse HRQOL. These data highlight the importance of comprehensive disease management strategies that address both renal and extrarenal manifestations to improve overall patient outcomes.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Recent studies have reported a reduction in health-related quality of life (HR-QoL) among post-coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients. However, there remains a gap in research examining the heterogeneity and determinants of HR-QoL trajectory in these patients. OBJECTIVE: To describe and identify factors explaining the variability in HR-QoL trajectories among a cohort of patients with history of COVID-19. DESIGN: A prospective study using data from a cohort of COVID-19 patients enrolled into a registry established at a health system in New York City. PARTICIPANTS: Participants were enrolled from July 2020 to June 2022, and completed a baseline evaluation and two follow-up visits at 6 and 12 months. METHODS: We assessed HR-QoL with the 29-item Patient Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System instrument, which was summarized into mental and physical health domains. We performed latent class growth and multinomial logistic regression to examine trajectories of HR-QoL and identify factors associated with specific trajectories. RESULTS: The study included 588 individuals with a median age of 52 years, 65% female, 54% White, 18% Black, and 18% Hispanic. We identified five physical health trajectories and four mental health trajectories. Female gender, having pre-existing hypertension, cardiovascular disease, asthma, and hospitalization for acute COVID-19 were independently associated with lower physical health. In addition, patients with increasing body mass index were more likely to experience lower physical health over time. Female gender, younger age, pre-existing asthma, arthritis and cardiovascular disease were associated with poor mental health. CONCLUSIONS: We found significant heterogeneity of HR-QoL after COVID-19, with women and patients with specific comorbidities at increased risk of lower HR-QoL. Implementation of targeted psychological and physical interventions is crucial for enhancing the quality of life of this patient population.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: Debilitating abdominal pain is a common symptom affecting patients with chronic pancreatitis (CP). CP pain is dynamic due to multiple underlying mechanisms. The objective of this study was to 1) evaluate changes in pain phenotype at one year follow-up and 2) validate putative pain biomarkers in a prospective cohort study. METHODS: The Neuropathic and Nociceptive PROMIS-PQ questionnaires were used to classify pain for participants with in the PROCEED study. Putative serum biomarkers were measured via immunoassay. RESULTS: At enrollment, 17.6 % (120/681) subjects with CP reported no pain in the previous year. Of those, 29 % experienced pain during the 1 yr follow-up whereas 18 % of those with pain prior to enrollment reported no pain during the 1 yr follow-up period. Of the 393 subjects with PROMIS-PQ data at enrollment, 212 also had follow-up data at 1 yr. Approximately half (53.3 %) of those individuals changed pain phenotype between baseline and follow-up. At 1 yr, serum TGFß1 level was negatively correlated with nociceptive T-scores (p = 0.006). GP130 was significantly correlated with both nociceptive (p = 0.012) and neuropathic T-scores (p = 0.043) at 1 yr, which is consistent with the previously published findings. CONCLUSIONS: The positive association between TGFß1 and pain is not maintained over time, suggesting it is a poor pain biomarker. However, serum GP130 is a consistent biomarker for mixed-type pain in CP. Preclinical studies show that targeting TGFß1 or IL-6 (ligand for GP130) is sufficient to inhibit CP pain supporting further investigation of this as a potential therapeutic target.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) are increasingly used to assess patients' perioperative health. The PROM Information System 29 (PROMIS-29) is a well-validated global health assessment instrument for patient physical health, though its utility in cranial neurosurgery is unclear. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the utility of preoperative PROMIS-29 physical health (PH) summary scores in predicting postoperative outcomes in brain tumor patients. METHODS: Adult brain tumor patients undergoing resection at a single institution (January 2018-December 2021) were identified and prospectively received PROMIS-29 surveys during pre-operative visits. PH summary scores were constructed and optimum prediction thresholds for length of stay (LOS), discharge disposition (DD), and 30-day readmission were approximated by finding the Youden index of the associated receiver operating characteristic curves. Bivariate analyses were used to study the distribution of low (z-score≤-1) versus high (z-score>-1) PH scores according to baseline characteristics. Logistic regression models quantified the association between preoperative PH summary scores and post-operative outcomes. RESULTS: A total of 157 brain tumor patients were identified (mean age 55.4±15.4 years; 58.0% female; mean PH score 45.5+10.5). Outcomes included prolonged LOS (24.8%), non-routine discharge disposition (37.6%), and 30-day readmission (19.1%). On bivariate analysis, patients with low PH scores were significantly more likely to be diagnosed with a high-grade tumor (69.6% vs 38.85%, p=0.010) and less likely to have elective surgery (34.8% vs 70.9%, p=0.002). Low PH score was associated with prolonged LOS (26.1% vs 22%, p<0.001), nonroutine discharge (73.9% vs 31.3%, p<0.001) and 30-day readmission (43.5% vs 14.9%, p=0.003). In multivariate analysis, low PH scores predicted greater LOS (odds ratio [OR]=6.09, p=0.003), nonroutine discharge (OR=4.25, p=0.020), and 30-day readmission (OR=3.93, p=0.020). CONCLUSION: The PROMIS-29 PH summary score predicts short-term postoperative outcomes in brain tumor patients and may be incorporated into prospective clinical workflows.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the psychometric properties of the AL-PROfile, a patient-reported outcome measure combining the Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS)-29, two items from PROMIS Cognitive Function, and select Patient-Reported Outcomes version of the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (PRO-CTCAE) items. METHODS: Content validity was assessed through cognitive debriefing interviews of 20 patients who completed the AL-PROfile (Study 1). Study 2 involved 297 participants who completed the AL-PROfile and Medical Outcomes Study 36-item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36). Reliability (internal consistency and test-retest reliability) and validity (convergent and discriminant validity, known groups validity by stage/organ involvement) were calculated. RESULTS: Study 1 participants found the AL-PROfile straightforward confirming the relevance of the included content. Some felt that certain questions were not related to their amyloidosis experience. Study 2 demonstrated acceptable internal consistency for all domains/items except PROMIS Cognitive Function and acceptable test-retest reliability for all except PROMIS Cognitive Function and PRO-CTCAE nausea. Large correlations were seen for the same domain across measures while correlations for divergent domains within a measure and different domains across different measures were small. The PRO-CTCAE items showed small to medium correlations with each other and with PROMIS and SF-36 domains. Stage was associated with physical function, fatigue, social roles, swelling, and shortness of breath scores. CONCLUSION: The AL-PROfile has acceptable reliability and validity for use in systemic light chain amyloidosis patients.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate content validity and psychometric properties of the 29-item Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS-29) to determine its suitability in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) clinical trials. METHODS: Content validity of PROMIS-29 was evaluated using qualitative interviews, including concept elicitation and cognitive debriefing, among patients living with Crohn's disease (Crohn's disease n = 20) or ulcerative colitis (UC, n = 19). PROMIS-29 validity, reliability, and responsiveness were assessed using data from phase II clinical trials of Crohn's disease (N = 360) and UC (N = 518). RESULTS: Common (≥74%) symptoms reported in qualitative interviews were increased stool frequency, fatigue, abdominal pain/cramping, blood/mucus in stool, bowel urgency, and diarrhea. Disease impact aligned with PROMIS-29 content (depression, anxiety, physical function, pain interference, fatigue, sleep disturbance, and ability to participate in social roles/activities). Cognitive debriefing indicated that PROMIS-29 instructions were easily understood, items were relevant, and the recall period was appropriate. Psychometric evaluations demonstrated that PROMIS-29 scores indicating worse symptoms/functioning were associated with lower health-related quality of life and greater disease activity and severity. PROMIS-29 domain scores correlated (rs ≥ 0.40) with IBD Questionnaire domains and EuroQol-5-Dimension-5-Level dimensions measuring similar concepts. Test-retest reliability among patients with stable disease was moderate-to-excellent (0.64-0.94) for nearly all domains in all studies. PROMIS-29 was responsive to change in disease status from baseline to week 12. Thresholds for clinically meaningful improvement ranged from ≥3 to ≥8, depending on domain. CONCLUSIONS: PROMIS-29 is valid, reliable, and responsive for assessing general health-related quality of life and treatment response in IBD clinical trials.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: Overactive bladder (OAB) can adversely affect health-related quality-of-life (HRQoL) and adherence to treatments; however, the extent of their association is unknown. This study sought to characterize Sleep Disturbance, Depression, Fatigue, and patient-reported medication adherence among adults with OAB in the United States. MATERIALS AND METHODS: In this descriptive, observational study, patients completed patient-reported outcome (PRO) measures of urinary symptoms, anxiety, depression, fatigue, sleep quality, and medication adherence. PRO scores were compared across age, sex, body mass index, and sleep and antidepressant medication-taking subgroups. Exploratory analyses compared PRO scores between groups and estimated the effect size of differences. RESULTS: Of 1013 patients contacted, 159 completed the assessments (female: 67.3%; ≥65 years of age: 53.5%; most severe OAB symptom: nocturia). Scale scores for Sleep Disturbance, Fatigue, and Depression were consistent with US population norms. No correlations of moderate or greater magnitude were observed between the severity of lower urinary tract symptoms and Sleep Disturbance, Fatigue, or Depression. When comparing individuals receiving antidepressants with those who were not, almost all outcomes including urinary symptoms, anxiety, and depression were significantly worse. Patients taking antidepressants also had poorer adherence to their OAB medications. CONCLUSION: In this cohort of individuals with OAB, Sleep Disturbance, Fatigue, and Depression scores were in line with general population reference values; however, among the subgroups analyzed, patients on antidepressants had worse HRQoL and more substantial impacts on medication adherence, highlighting the importance of the assessment and management of depression in this population.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to examine the psychometric properties of the EQ-5D-Y-3 L, Patient Reported Outcomes Measurement System 25-item version profile v2.0 (PROMIS-25), and Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory™ version 4.0 Generic Core Scale (PedsQL 4.0) in Chinese pediatric patients with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA). METHODS: The data used in this study were obtained via a web-based cross-sectional survey. Parents of pediatric patients with SMA completed the proxy-reported EQ-5D-Y-3 L, PedsQL 4.0, and PROMIS-25 measures. Information about socioeconomic and health status was also obtained. The ceiling and floor effects, factorial structure, convergent validity, and known-group validity of the three measures were assessed. RESULTS: Three hundred and sixty-three parents of children aged from 5 to 12 completed the questionnaires. Strong floor effects were observed for the physical function components of the PROMIS-25 (41.3%) and PedsQL 4.0 (67.8%). For EQ-5D-Y-3 L, 84.6% of the respondents reported having "a lot of" problems with the dimensions "walking" and "looking after myself." Minimal ceiling or floor effects were observed for the EQ-5D-Y-3 L index value. The confirmatory factor analysis supported a six-factor structure for the PROMIS-25, but did not support a four-factor structure for the PedsQL 4.0. All hypothesized correlations of the dimensions among the three measures were confirmed, with coefficients ranging from 0.28 to 0.68. Analysis of variance showed that EQ-5D-Y-3 L demonstrated better known-group validity than the other two measures in 14 out of 16 comparisons. CONCLUSIONS: The EQ-5D-Y-3 L showed better discriminant power than the other two measures. The physical health dimensions of all three measures showed the significant floor effects. These findings provide valuable insights into the effectiveness of these measures at capturing and quantifying the impact of SMA on patients' health-related quality of life.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS®) Dyspnea Activity Motivation & Requirement item pool and sleep related impairments (SRI) item bank are designed in assessing the impact of dyspnea and sleep and guiding patient management. However, to effectively utilize this tool in Arabic-speaking populations, it is essential to perform a thorough translation and cultural adaptation process. Therefore, the aim of the study is to translate and cross-culturally adapt the translated items of the PROMIS® dyspnea activity motivation and requirement and SRI into Arabic. METHODS: A universal approach to translation adopted from PROMIS guideline document for translation and cultural adaptation, and the Chronic Illness Therapy translation methodology. The forward translation step followed by back work translation and Harmonization and quality assurance. Cognitive interview and pilot testing was conducted among 30 Arabic respondents across 5 different countries of Arabic speaker to produce a single version for Arab countries. RESULTS: A successful translation and cross-cultural adaptation into Arabic was achieved while maintaining equivalency. The translation was clear and more colloquial sentences were semantically equivalent and easy to understand. Equivalence of meaning of PROMIS® dyspnea activity motivation, requirement and SRI were achieved. All items were appropriate, relevant to culture and it measured the same concept as the original items. In Items 2 of the dyspnea activity motivation related to leisure activity "shopping", the term "catalog and website" was added instead of "catalog only" which makes item in line with the original source but more comprehensive and applicable to current shopping trends. CONCLUSIONS: The PROMIS® dyspnea activity motivation, requirement items pool and SRI item bank are culturally and linguistically suitable to be used in Arab country. By extending the accessibility of this measure to Arabic-speaking population, this study contributes significantly to the advancement of management and patient-centered care in the region. Further studies are necessary to evaluate the psychometric properties of these instruments.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Health-related quality of life (HRQL) has become an important outcome parameter in cardiology. The MOS 36-ltem Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36) and the PROMIS-29 are two widely used generic measures providing composite HRQL scores. The domains of the SF-36, a well-established instrument utilized for several decades, can be aggregated to physical (PCS) and mental (MCS) component summary scores. Alternative scoring algorithms for correlated component scores (PCSc and MCSc) have also been suggested. The PROMIS-29 is a newer but increasingly used HRQL measure. Analogous to the SF-36, physical and mental health summary scores can be derived from PROMIS-29 domain scores, based on a correlated factor solution. So far, scores from the PROMIS-29 are not directly comparable to SF-36 results, complicating the aggregation of research findings. Thus, our aim was to provide algorithms to convert PROMIS-29 data to well-established SF-36 component summary scores. METHODS: Data from n = 662 participants of the Berlin Long-term Observation of Vascular Events (BeLOVE) study were used to estimate linear regression models with either PROMIS-29 domain scores or aggregated PROMIS-29 physical/mental health summary scores as predictors and SF-36 physical/mental component summary scores as outcomes. Data from a subsequent assessment point (n = 259) were used to evaluate the agreement between empirical and predicted SF-36 scores. RESULTS: PROMIS-29 domain scores as well as PROMIS-29 health summary scores showed high predictive value for PCS, PCSc, and MCSc (R2 ≥ 70%), and moderate predictive value for MCS (R2 = 57% and R2 = 40%, respectively). After applying the regression coefficients to new data, empirical and predicted SF-36 component summary scores were highly correlated (r > 0.8) for most models. Mean differences between empirical and predicted scores were negligible (|SMD|<0.1). CONCLUSIONS: This study provides easy-to-apply algorithms to convert PROMIS-29 data to well-established SF-36 physical and mental component summary scores in a cardiovascular population. Applied to new data, the agreement between empirical and predicted SF-36 scores was high. However, for SF-36 mental component summary scores, considerably better predictions were found under the correlated (MCSc) than under the original factor model (MCS). Additionally, as a pertinent byproduct, our study confirmed construct validity of the relatively new PROMIS-29 health summary scores in cardiology patients.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: This study evaluates the interpretability of Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System® (PROMIS®)-16 profile domain scores (physical function, ability to participate in social roles and activities, anxiety, depression, sleep disturbance, pain interference, cognitive function - abilities, and fatigue) compared to the PROMIS-29 scores and a 5-item PROMIS cognitive function score. The study aims to provide insights into using these measures in clinical and research settings. METHODS: Analyses were conducted using data from 4130 adults from a nationally representative, probability-based internet panel between September and October 2022. A subset of 1256 individuals with back pain was followed up at six months. We compared the PROMIS-16 profile with the corresponding domain scores from the PROMIS-29 and a custom five-item cognitive function measure. We evaluated (1) reliability through inter-item correlations within each domain and (2) criterion validity by comparing PROMIS-16 profile with the corresponding longer PROMIS measures: (a) standardized mean differences in domain scores, (b) correlations, and (c) concordance of change (i.e., got worse, stayed the same, got better) among those with back pain from baseline to six months later using the reliable change index. We report the Kappa coefficient of agreement and the frequency and percentage of participants with concordant classifications. RESULTS: Inter-item correlations for the PROMIS-16 domains ranged from 0.65 in cognitive function to 0.92 in pain interference. Standardized mean differences between PROMIS-16 and the scores for the corresponding longer PROMIS domains were minimal (< 0.2). Correlations among the corresponding domain scores ranged from 0.82 for sleep disturbance to 0.98 for pain interference. The percentage of concordance in change groups ranged from 63% for sleep disturbance to 88% for pain interference. Except for sleep disturbance, the change groups derived from the PROMIS-16 showed moderate to substantial agreement with scores estimated from the longer PROMIS measures (Kappa coefficients ≥ 0.41). CONCLUSION: The PROMIS-16 domain scores perform similarly to the longer PROMIS measures and can be interpreted in the same way. This similarity indicates that PROMIS-16 can be useful for research as a brief health-related quality-of-life profile measure.


The Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System® (PROMIS®)-16 Profile assesses eight health-related quality of life domains (physical function, ability to participate in social roles and activities, anxiety, depression, sleep disturbance, pain interference, cognitive function ­ abilities, and fatigue) using two items per domain. We evaluated the PROMIS-16 profile in a sample drawn from a nationally representative, probability-based internet panel. The study supports the reliability and criterion validity of the PROMIS-16, showing that the domain scores closely align with and have high concordance in change with the PROMIS-29 scores and a custom five-item cognitive function score. The PROMIS-16 has the potential to be a brief health-related quality-of-life profile measure in research and clinical settings.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: The Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System® (PROMIS)-16 assesses the same multi-item domains but does not include the pain intensity item in the PROMIS-29. We evaluate how well physical and mental health summary scores estimated from the PROMIS-16 reproduce those estimated using the PROMIS-29. METHODS: An evaluation of data collected from 4130 respondents from the KnowledgePanel. Analyses include confirmatory factor analysis to assess physical and mental health latent variables based on PROMIS-16 scores, reliability estimates for the PROMIS measures, mean differences and correlations of scores estimated by the PROMIS-16 with those estimated by the PROMIS-29, and associations between differences in corresponding PROMIS-16 and PROMIS-29 scores by sociodemographic characteristics. RESULTS: A two-factor (physical and mental health) model adequately fits the PROMIS-16 scores. Reliability estimates for the PROMIS-16 measures were slightly lower than for the PROMIS-29 measures. There were minimal differences between PROMIS physical and mental health summary scores estimated using the PROMIS-16 or the PROMIS-29. PROMIS-16 and PROMIS-29 score differences by sociodemographic characteristics were small. Using the PROMIS pain intensity item when scoring the PROMIS-16 produced similar estimates of physical and mental health summary scores. CONCLUSION: The PROMIS-16 provides similar estimates of the PROMIS-29 physical and mental health summary scores. The high reliability of these scores indicates they are accurate enough for use with individual patients.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: Our objective was to explore whether the extension of the PROMIS item bank Ability to Participate in Social Roles and Activities (APSRA) with new items would result in more effective targeting (i.e., selecting items that are appropriate for each individual's trait level), and more reliable measurements across all latent trait levels. METHODS: A sample of 1,022 Dutch adults completed all 35 items of the original item bank plus 17 new items (in Dutch). The new items presented in this publication have been translated provisionally from Dutch into English for presentation purposes. We evaluated the basic IRT assumptions unidimensionality, local independence, and monotonicity. Furthermore, we examined the item parameters, and assessed differential item functioning (DIF) for sex, education, region, age, and ethnicity. In addition, we compared the test information functions, item parameters, and θ scores, for the original and extended item bank in order to assess whether the measurement range had improved. RESULTS: We found that the extended item bank was compatible with the basic IRT assumptions and showed good reliability. Moreover, the extended item bank improved the measurement in the lower trait range, which is important for reliably assessing functioning in clinical populations (i.e., persons reporting lower levels of participation). CONCLUSION: We extended the PROMIS-APSRA item bank and improved its psychometric quality. Our study contributes to PROMIS measurement innovation, which allows for the addition of new items to existing item banks, without changing the interpretation of the scores and while maintaining the comparability of the scores with other PROMIS instruments.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: The Patient-Reported Outcome Measurement Information System (PROMIS®) was developed to provide reliable, valid, and normed item banks to measure health. The item banks provide standardized scores on a common metric allowing for individualized, brief assessment (computerized adaptive tests), short forms (e.g. heart failure specific), or profile assessments (e.g. PROMIS-29). The objective of this study was to translate and linguistically validate 24 PROMIS adult item banks into French and highlight cultural nuances arising during the translation process. METHODS: We used the FACIT translation methodology. Forward translation into French by two native French-speaking translators was followed by reconciliation by a third native French-speaking translator. A native English-speaking translator fluent in French then completed a back translation of the reconciled version from French into English. Three independent reviews by bilingual translators were completed to assess the clarity and consistency of terminology and equivalency across the English source and French translations. Reconciled versions were evaluated in cognitive interviews for conceptual and linguistic equivalence. RESULTS: Twenty-four adult item banks were translated: 12 mental health, 10 physical health, and two social health. Interview data revealed that 577 items of the 590 items translated required no revisions. Conceptual and linguistic differences were evident for 11 items that required iterations to improve conceptual equivalence and two items were revised to accurately reflect the English source. CONCLUSION: French translations of 24 item banks were created for routine clinical use and research. Initial translation supported conceptual equivalence and comprehensibility. Next steps will include validation of the item banks.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: The Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement and Information System (PROMIS®): includes the PROMIS-29 physical and mental health summary and the PROMIS global physical and mental health scores. It is unknown how these scores coincide with one another. This study examines whether the scores yield similar or different information. METHODS: The PROMIS-29 and the PROMIS global health items were administered to 5804 adults from Amazon's Mechanical Turk (MTurk) in 2021-2022 and to 4060 adults in the Ipsos KnowledgePanel (KP) in 2022. RESULTS: The median age of those in MTurk (KP) was 36 (54) and 53% (50%) were male. Mean T-scores on the PROMIS-29 and PROMIS global physical health scales were similar, but PROMIS global mental health was 3-4 points lower than the PROMIS-29 mental health summary score. Product-moment correlations ranged from 0.69 to 0.81 between the PROMIS-29 physical health and PROMIS global physical health scales and 0.56-0.69 between the mental health scales. Multi-trait multimethod analyses indicated that only a small proportion of the correlations between the two methods of measuring mental health were significantly more highly correlated with one another than correlations between physical and mental health. CONCLUSIONS: PROMIS-29 and PROMIS global mental health scales provide different information and, therefore, study conclusions may vary depending on which measure is used. Interpretation of results needs to consider that the PROMIS-29 mental health scale is a weighted combination of specific domains while the PROMIS global mental health scale is based on general mental health perceptions. Further comparisons of methods of assessing mental health are needed.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: Quality of life (QoL) is identified as a clinical and research priority by the autistic community. Researchers have the responsibility to ensure that instruments used to measure QoL do so reliably and accurately among autistic participants. METHODS: Our study evaluated measurement invariance of Emotional Distress (Depression, Anxiety, Anger, Psychological Stress) and Subjective Well-Being (Life Satisfaction, Positive Affect, and Meaning & Purpose) scales of the Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) among groups of autistic (N=140, n per scale=132-140) and general population (N=1,224, n per scale=406-411) teenagers (14-17 years). These scales were included in the PROMIS Autism Battery-Lifespan, which uses PROMIS scales to measure QoL domains most relevant for autistic people. RESULTS: Multi-group confirmatory factor analyses using permutation tests demonstrated that Depression and Positive Affect scales exhibited scalar invariance between groups, indicating that scores can be meaningfully compared across autistic and general population teens. Anger and Psychological Stress scales demonstrated metric invariance between groups, indicating that these scales measure the same latent trait in both groups, but group comparisons are not supported. CONCLUSION: We provide guidance as to how these scales can be used in psychometrically supported ways to capture constructs relevant for understanding QoL among autistic teens.


Quality of life is an important outcome for autistic people and their families. However, many quality of life scales have not been tested to make sure they accurately measure quality of life among autistic people. It is important to make sure that quality of life measures works similarly among the autistic population. The goal of our study is to test whether scales on a common quality of life measure ­ the Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) ­ measures quality of life in the same way between autistic and general population adolescents. We found that some of the PROMIS scales worked the same way for autistic and general population adolescents and others did not. These results help researchers confidently use the PROMIS scales to measure different aspects of quality of life among autistic youth.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: We describe development of a short health-related quality of life measure, the patient-reported outcomes measurement information system® (PROMIS®)-16 Profile, which generates domain-specific scores for physical function, ability to participate in social roles and activities, anxiety, depression, sleep disturbance, pain interference, cognitive function, and fatigue. METHODS: An empirical evaluation of 50 candidate PROMIS items and item pairs was conducted using data from a sample of 5775 respondents from Amazon's Mechanical Turk (MTurk). Results and item response theory information curves for a subset of item pairs were presented and discussed in a stakeholder meeting to narrow the candidate item sets. A survey of the stakeholders and 124 MTurk adults was conducted to solicit preferences among remaining candidate items and finalize the measure. RESULTS: Empirical evaluation showed minimal differences in basic descriptive statistics (e.g., means, correlations) and associations with the PROMIS-29 + 2 Profile, thus item pairs were further considered primarily based on item properties and content. Stakeholders discussed and identified subsets of candidate item pairs for six domains, and final item pairs were agreed upon for two domains. Final items were selected based on stakeholder and MTurk-respondent preferences. The PROMIS-16 profile generates eight domain scores with strong psychometric properties. CONCLUSION: The PROMIS-16 Profile provides an attractive brief measure of eight distinct domains of health-related quality of life, representing an ideal screening tool for clinical care, which can help clinicians quickly identify distinct areas of concern that may require further assessment and follow-up. Further research is needed to confirm and extend these findings.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: To develop the PROMIS Pediatric Stigma (PPS) and Skin (PPS-Skin) by constructing a common metric for measuring stigma in children with various conditions, while capturing the unique features of each condition. METHODS: Data from 860 children, ages 8-17, with a diagnosis of epilepsy, pNF (neurofibromatosis type 1 associated neurofibroma plexform), MD (muscular dystrophy), cancer, or skin conditions recruited from three projects were analyzed. Children with epilepsy, pNF and MD (sample-1) completed the original 18-item Neuro-QoL Stigma, while children with cancer and skin conditions (e.g., atopic dermatitis, psoriasis, and genetic skin disorders; sample-2) completed a 16-item version and 6 additional skin related items. Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory analysis (CFA) were used to evaluate unidimensionality of 24 stigma items. Differential item functioning (DIF) was used to evaluate measurement equivalence on group, gender, age, and conditions. Item response theory model (IRT) was used to construct the final measure. RESULTS: Sufficient unidimensionality was supported by both EFA and CFA. No items showed significant DIF indicating stable measurement properties across groups of comparison. All items fit the IRT model and were able to be calibrated together to form the PPS which consists of 18 core items. The PPS-Skin (18 cores items + 6 skin items) was developed by calibrating 6 skin items onto the common metric as the PPS. CONCLUSIONS: We used IRT techniques to successfully develop the PPS and the PPS-Skin, which share a common metric and account for unique and common concerns related to chronic conditions.
