AbstractThe purpose of this study was to evaluate Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System physical function (PROMIS PF) 2 years following knee surgery, and identify preoperative factors associated with postoperative PROMIS PF. Three hundred and sixty-five patients, age 17 years and older, undergoing knee surgery at one institution were studied. Patients completed multiple questionnaires prior to surgery and again 2 years postoperatively including PROMIS PF, International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC), joint and body numeric pain scales (NPS), Tegner's activity scale (TAS), and Marx's activity rating scale (MARS). Mean PROMIS PF improved from 41.4 to 50.9 at 2 years postoperatively (p < 0.001) and was strongly correlated with 2-year IKDC scores. Older age, female gender, non-Hispanic ethnicity, unemployment, lower income, government insurance, smoking, preoperative opioid use, having a legal claim, comorbidities, previous surgeries, higher body mass index (BMI), and knee arthroplasty were associated with worse 2-year PROMIS PF. Multivariable analysis confirmed that lower BMI, less NPS body pain, and higher MARS were independent predictors of greater 2-year PROMIS PF and better improvement in PROMIS PF. In this large, broad cohort of knee surgery patients, multiple preoperative factors were associated with PROMIS PF 2 years postoperatively. PROMIS PF scores improved significantly, but worse 2 year PROMIS PF scores and less improvement from baseline were independently predicted by higher BMI, greater NPS body pain, and lower MARS activity level. PROMIS PF can be implemented as an efficient means to assess outcomes after knee surgery.

AbstractA cross-sectional analysis of data derived from patients undergoing knee surgery at a single institution was conducted. The objectives of the study were to (1) compare how the Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System physical function (PROMIS PF) computer adaptive test performs against the International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) Subjective Knee Form in evaluating functional status, and (2) to determine demographic, clinical, and psychosocial correlates of each outcome measure in an urban population undergoing a variety of knee surgeries. We hypothesized that there would be a strong correlation between PROMIS PF and IKDC, with minimal floor and ceiling effects, and similar clinical correlates. The sample consisted of 412 patients undergoing knee surgery. Bivariate and multivariable statistical analyses were performed to identify significant independent predictors. The PROMIS PF and IKDC scores were strongly correlated (r s = 0.71, p < 0.001), and neither exhibited floor nor ceiling effects. Lower body mass index, no preoperative opioid use, lower Charlson comorbidity index score, employment, and lower income were found to be significant independent predictors for better scores on both PROMIS PF and IKDC. Patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty had significantly lower PROMIS PF and IKDC scores (p < 0.05). Potential explanations for these findings are presented, and clinical implications are discussed.

AbstractA cross-sectional analysis of data derived from patients undergoing knee surgery at a single institution was conducted. The objectives of the study were to determine the demographic, diagnostic, and psychologic factors associated with opioid use; and to determine the clinical correlates of opioid use. We hypothesized that preoperative opioid use would be associated with worse patient-reported outcome (PRO) measures. The sample consisted of 383 patients undergoing knee surgery. The patients were classified as either opioid or nonopioid users on the basis of medical record review. All participants completed a battery of clinical assessments, including the Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System computer adaptive testing in six domains: Physical Function, Pain Interference, Fatigue, Social Satisfaction, Anxiety, and Depression. Analyses were conducted to examine clinical variables as a function of opioid use. The results indicated that opioid use was associated with female gender, unemployment, smoking, higher American Society of Anesthesiologists scores, greater number of previous surgeries, depression or anxiety, and worse expectation of surgery (p < 0.05). Multivariable analysis found opioid use to be a significant independent predictor of multiple PRO measures in patients undergoing knee surgery. Potential explanations for these findings are presented, and clinical implications are discussed.

AbstractThe objectives of this study are to assess perioperative opioid use in patients undergoing knee surgery and to examine the relationship between preoperative opioid use and 2-year postoperative patient-reported outcomes (PROs). We hypothesized that preoperative opioid use and, more specifically, higher quantities of preoperative opioid use would be associated with worse PROs in knee surgery patients. We studied 192 patients undergoing knee surgery at a single urban institution. Patients completed multiple PRO measures preoperatively and 2-year postoperatively, including six patient-reported outcomes measurement information system (PROMIS) domains; the International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) questionnaire, numeric pain scale (NPS) scores for the operative knee and the rest of the body, Marx's knee activity rating scale, Tegner's activity scale, International Physical Activity Questionnaire, as well as measures of met expectations, overall improvement, and overall satisfaction. Total morphine equivalents (TMEs) were calculated from a regional prescription monitoring program. Eighty patients (41.7%) filled an opioid prescription preoperatively, and refill TMEs were significantly higher in this subpopulation. Opioid use was associated with unemployment, government insurance, smoking, depression, history of prior surgery, higher body mass index, greater comorbidities, and lower treatment expectations. Preoperative opioid use was associated with significantly worse 2-year scores on most PROs, including PROMIS physical function, pain interference, fatigue, social satisfaction, IKDC, NPS for the knee and rest of the body, and Marx's and Tegner's scales. There was a significant dose-dependent association between greater preoperative TMEs and worse scores for PROMIS physical function, pain interference, fatigue, social satisfaction, NPS body, and Marx's and Tegner's scales. Multivariable analysis confirmed that any preoperative opioid use, but not quantity of TMEs, was an independent predictor of worse 2-year scores for function, activity, and knee pain. Preoperative opioid use and TMEs were neither independent predictors of met expectations, satisfaction, patient-perceived improvement, nor improvement on any PROs. Our findings demonstrate that preoperative opioid use is associated with clinically relevant worse patient-reported knee function and pain after knee surgery.

AbstractObjectivesThe National Institutes of Health Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) is a multidimensional screening system evaluating biopsychosocial factors affecting pain and functioning. Using a military sample, the current study 1) examined the structure and domains of the PROMIS, the Defense and Veterans Pain Rating Scale 2.0 (DVPRS), and the Pain Catastrophizing Scale (PCS) within a presurgical setting and 2) examined the relationship of these variables to pre- and postsurgical opioid use.MethodsThis cross-sectional study included 279 adult patients scheduled for surgery at the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center and a validation sample of 79 additional patients from the Naval Medical Center, San Diego. PROMIS, DVPRS, PCS, and opioid use data were collected before surgery. Exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis identified the latent structure for the measures. A structural equation model (SEM) examined their relationship to pre- and postsurgical opioid use.ResultsTwo latent factors represented Psychosocial Functioning (PROMIS Depression, PROMIS Anxiety, and PROMIS Social Isolation) and Pain Impact (DVPRS, PROMIS Pain Interference, PROMIS Physical Functioning). The remaining PROMIS scales did not load onto a single factor. In the SEM, the two latent factors and PCS were significantly related to pre- and postsurgical opioid use.ConclusionsThis study highlights the utility and relative ease of using a convenient multidimensional assessment in presurgical settings. Using such an assessment can help provide targeted interventions for individuals who may be at greatest risk for negative postsurgical outcomes.

e18236 Background: The double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled phase 3 ENLIVEN study in TGCT demonstrated a significant tumor response at week 25 by RECIST for pexidartinib (39% vs. 0% for placebo) and improvement in joint function and symptoms. The aim of this analysis was to identify a threshold score for responder definitions for PROMIS-PF scale and Worst Stiffness Numerical Rating Scale (WS-NRS) and compared responder rates for pexidartinib versus placebo. Methods: Anchor- and distribution-based estimates were calculated, and cumulative distribution function (CDF) plots were generated to derive responder definition threshold estimates. Anchor- and distribution-based results and CDFs were evaluated through triangulation, following FDA PRO Guidance, to determine a single responder definition threshold (i.e., meaningful change) for each instrument. The proportion of responders at Week 25 between treatments was compared with Fisher’s Exact Test (2-sided). Results: 120 patients were randomized to pexidartinib (n = 61) and placebo (n = 59) and assessed through 25 weeks of treatment. Anchor-based analysis showed one-level improvement on the patient global rating of PF item was associated with a mean change of 4.0 on PROMIS-PF. Distribution-based estimates (0.5 SD and 1 SEM) for PROMIS-PF were 2.8 and 2.5, respectively. For WS-NRS, a response of “A little improved” by patients on the perception of stiffness item was associated with a mean change of 1.1. The distribution-based estimates for the WS-NRS item were 0.9 and 0.5, respectively. This resulted in the following responder definition thresholds: ≥3 points for PROMIS-PF and ≥1 for WS-NRS improvement. A greater proportion of pexidartinib as compared to placebo patients were responders by PROMIS-PF (30% vs. 5%, p < 0.001) and WS-NRS (39% vs. 19%, p = 0.02) at week 25, respectively. Conclusions: Triangulation yielded responder definitions of ≥3 points for PROMIS-PF and ≥1 for WS-NRS. With these definitions, a greater proportion of patients treated with pexidartinib compared to placebo had meaningful improvement in physical function and stiffness.

AbstractPatient-reported outcomes, such as the Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) measures, have become increasingly valued as measures of treatment. The purpose of the study was to determine preoperative factors associated with survey compliance 2 years after elective knee surgery. Five hundred patients, age 17 years and older, undergoing knee surgery from August 2015 and March 2017 were administered questionnaires preoperatively and 2 years postoperatively. Questionnaires included the International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) score, Numeric Pain Scales (NPS), International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ), and six PROMIS Domains for physical function, pain interference, social satisfaction, fatigue, anxiety, and depression. Three hundred sixty-five patients (73.0%) completed both the preoperative and the 2-year surveys. A decreased likelihood of survey completion was significantly associated with black race, lower income, government-sponsored insurance, smoking, opioid use, fewer previous surgeries, lower expectations, lower PROMIS social satisfaction, higher PROMIS pain interference, and lower IPAQ physical activity. Multivariable logistic regression analysis confirmed that black race and lower IPAQ activity level were independent predictors of lower survey completion at 2-year follow-up with an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.62. A more robust multivariable model that included all variables with p < 0.05 in the bivariate analysis had an AUC of only 0.70. This study identified multiple preoperative factors that were associated with lower survey completion 2 years after elective orthopaedic knee surgery; however, all the factors measured in this study were not strong predictors of survey completion.

Aims The Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) has demonstrated faster administration, lower burden of data capture and reduced floor and ceiling effects compared to traditional Patient Reported Outcomes Measurements (PROMs). We investigated the suitability of PROMIS Mobility score in assessing physical function in the sequelae of childhood hip disease. Methods In all, 266 adolscents (aged ≥ 12 years) and adults were identified with a prior diagnosis of childhood hip disease (either Perthes’ disease (n = 232 (87.2%)) or Slipped Capital Femoral Epiphysis (n = 34 (12.8%)) with a mean age of 27.73 years (SD 12.24). Participants completed the PROMIS Mobility Computer Adaptive Test, the Non-Arthritic Hip Score (NAHS), EuroQol five-dimension five-level questionnaire, and the Numeric Pain Rating Scale. We investigated the correlation between the PROMIS Mobility and other tools to assess use in this population and any clustering of outcome scores. Results There was a strong correlation between the PROMIS Mobility and other established PROMs; NAHS ( rs = 0.79; p < 0.001). There was notable clustering in PROMIS at the upper end of the distribution score (42.5%), with less seen in the NAHS (20.3%). However, the clustering was broadly similar between PROMIS Mobility and the comparable domains of the NAHS; function (53.6%), and activity (35.0%). Conclusion PROMIS Mobility strongly correlated with other tools demonstrating convergent construct validity. There was clustering of physical function scores at the upper end of the distributions, which may reflect truncation of the data caused by participants having excellent outcomes. There were elements of disease not captured within PROMIS Mobility alone, and difficulties in differentiating those with the highest levels of function.

Background: The objectives of this study were to determine the baseline patient characteristics associated with preoperative opioid use and to establish whether preoperative opioid use is associated with baseline patient-reported outcome measures in patients undergoing common hand surgeries. Methods: Patients undergoing common hand surgeries from 2015 to 2018 were retrospectively reviewed from a prospective orthopedic registry at a single academic institution. Medical records were reviewed to determine whether patients were opioid users versus nonusers. On enrollment in the registry, patients completed 6 Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) domains (Physical Function, Pain Interference, Fatigue, Social Satisfaction, Anxiety, and Depression), the Brief Michigan Hand Questionnaire (BMHQ), a surgical expectations questionnaire, and Numeric Pain Scale (NPS). Statistical analysis included multivariable regression to determine whether preoperative opioid use was associated with patient characteristics and preoperative scores on patient-reported outcome measures. Results: After controlling for covariates, an analysis of 353 patients (opioid users, n = 122; nonusers, n = 231) showed that preoperative opioid use was associated with higher American Society of Anesthesiologists class (odds ratio [OR], 2.88), current smoking (OR, 1.91), and lower body mass index (OR, 0.95). Preoperative opioid use was also associated with significantly worse baseline PROMIS scores across 6 domains, lower BMHQ scores, and NPS hand scores. Conclusions: Preoperative opioid use is common in hand surgery patients with a rate of 35%. Preoperative opioid use is associated with multiple baseline patient characteristics and is predictive of worse baseline scores on patient-reported outcome measures. Future studies should determine whether such associations persist in the postoperative setting between opioid users and nonusers.

AbstractThe reliable change index has been used to evaluate the significance of individual change in health-related quality of life. We estimate reliable change for two measures (physical function and emotional distress) in the Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS®) 29-item health-related quality of life measure (PROMIS-29 v2.1). Using two waves of data collected 3 months apart in a longitudinal observational study of chronic low back pain and chronic neck pain patients receiving chiropractic care, and simulations, we compare estimates of reliable change from classical test theory fixed standard errors with item response theory standard errors from the graded response model. We find that unless true change in the PROMIS physical function and emotional distress scales is substantial, classical test theory estimates of significant individual change are much more optimistic than estimates of change based on item response theory.
