The authors mapped the items of the PROMIS Physical Function v2.0 bank and the sub-banks of Mobility v2.1 and Upper Extremity v2.1 to the International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health (ICF). Across all three banks, the largest proportion of items were mapped to the D4 Mobility ICF chapter. There was moderate representation of the D5 Self-care chapter and minor representation of the D6 Domestic Life chapter in the Physical Function and Upper Extremity item banks. Refer to the article for full details on the mapping results. These findings can enhance interdisciplinary communication and facilitate broader adoption for those who may be unfamiliar with these measures.
The authors examined the association between membership in a longitudinal multimorbidity trajectory group (developed using a latent growth curve model of chronic condition accumulation in young to middle age) and a cross-sectional assessment of physical function in middle age. Physical function was assessed using PROMIS Physical Function Short Form 20a and several performance-based tests whose scores were summarized as a composite score. Both patient-reported and performance-based physical function were lower in those with earlier and more rapid accumulation of chronic conditions (Late 20s-Fast and Mid 20s-Fast) compared to Early 50s-Slow trajectories.
The authors used PROMIS questionnaires to assess gastrointestinal symptoms in a sample of 41 individuals with the rare disease of osteogenesis imperfecta. Participants also received a gastroenterology consultation. Adult measures were used for all participants. Generally, there were no differences in gastrointestinal symptoms compared to the general population although symptoms increased with age and worse scoliosis.
The authors did a critical appraisal of commonly used patient-reported questionnaires for depression using COSMIN criteria: Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression (CES-D), Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9), and PROMIS Depression. Only the PROMIS Depression had a rating of adequate or very good on all measurement properties. It was the only measure that achieved at least an adequate rating on structural validity and internal consistency.
