Background: Threshold values for patient-reported outcome measures, such as the minimum clinically important difference (MCID) and patient acceptable symptomatic state (PASS), are important for relating postoperative outcomes to meaningful functional improvement. Purpose: To determine the PASS and MCID after hip arthroscopy for femoroacetabular impingement using the Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) questionnaire. Study Design: Cohort study (diagnosis); Level of evidence, 3. Methods: A consecutive series of patients undergoing primary hip arthroscopy for femoroacetabular impingement were administered preoperative and minimum 1-year postoperative PROMIS surveys focusing on physical function (PF) and pain interference (PI). External anchor questions for the MCID and PASS were given with the postoperative PROMIS survey. Receiver operator curves were constructed to determine the threshold values for the MCID and PASS. Curves were generated for the study population as well as separate cohorts segregated by median baseline PF or PI scores and preoperative athletic participation. A multivariate post hoc analysis was then constructed to evaluate factors associated with achieving the PASS or MCID. Results: There were 113 patients (35% male; mean ± SD age, 32.8 ± 12.5 years; body mass index, 25.8 ± 4.8 kg/m2), with 60 (53%) reporting preoperative athletic participation. Survey time averaged 77.5 ± 49.2 seconds. Anchor-based MCID values were 5.1 and 10.9 for the PF and PI domains, respectively. PASS thresholds were 51.8 and 51.9 for the PF and PI, respectively. PASS values were not affected by baseline scores, but athletic patients had a higher PASS threshold than did those not participating in a sport (53.1 vs 44.7). MCID values were affected by preoperative baseline scores but were largely independent of sports participation. A post hoc analysis found that 94 (83%) patients attained the MCID PF while 66 (58%) attained the PASS PF. A multivariate nominal logistic regression found that younger patients ( P = .01) and athletic patients ( P = .003) were more likely to attain the PASS. Conclusion: The PROMIS survey is an efficient metric to evaluate preoperative disability and postoperative function after primary hip arthroscopy for femoroacetabular impingement. The MCID and PASS provide surgeons with threshold values to help determine PROMIS scores that are clinically meaningful to patients, and they can assist with therapeutic decision making as well as expectation setting.

OBJECTIVE Socioeconomic factors have been shown to impact a host of healthcare-related outcomes. Level of education is a marker of socioeconomic status. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between patient education level and outcomes after elective lumbar surgery and to characterize any education-related disparities. METHODS The Michigan Spine Surgery Improvement Collaborative registry was queried for all lumbar spine operations. Primary outcomes included patient satisfaction determined by the North American Spine Society patient satisfaction index, and reaching the minimum clinically important difference of Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System Physical Function score and return to work up to 2 years after surgery. Multivariate Poisson generalized estimating equation models reported adjusted risk ratios. RESULTS A total of 26,229 lumbar spine patients had data available for inclusion in this study. On multivariate generalized estimating equation analysis all comparisons were done versus the high school (HS)/general equivalency development (GED)–level cohort. For North American Spine Society satisfaction scores after surgery the authors observed the following: at 90 days the likelihood of satisfaction significantly decreased by 11% (p < 0.001) among < HS, but increased by 1% (p = 0.52) among college-educated and 3% (p = 0.011) among postcollege-educated cohorts compared to the HS/GED cohort; at 1 year there was a decrease of 9% (p = 0.02) among < HS and increases of 3% (p = 0.02) among college-educated and 9% (p < 0.001) among postcollege-educated patients; and at 2 years, there was an increase of 5% (p = 0.001) among postcollege-educated patients compared to the < HS group. The likelihood of reaching a minimum clinically important difference of Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System Physical Function score at 90 days increased by 5% (p = 0.005) among college-educated and 9% (p < 0.001) among postcollege-educated cohorts; at 1 year, all comparison cohorts demonstrated significance, with a decrease of 12% (p = 0.007) among < HS, but an increase by 6% (p < 0.001) among college-educated patients and 14% (p < 0.001) among postcollege-educated compared to the HS/GED cohort; at 2 years, there was a significant decrease by 19% (p = 0.003) among the < HS cohort, an increase by 8% (p = 0.001) among the college-educated group, and an increase by 16% (p < 0.001) among the postcollege-educated group. For return to work, a significant increase was demonstrated at 90 days and 1 year when comparing the HS or less group with college or postcollege cohorts. CONCLUSIONS This study demonstrated negative associations on all primary outcomes with lower levels of education. This finding suggests a potential disparity linked to education in elective spine surgery.

Objectives: Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) is an NIH-funded computerized adaptive test (CAT) developed to effectively assess patient outcomes in multiple domains, including physical function (PF), pain severity, and quality of life while minimizing patient burden. The purpose of this study is to validate PROMIS in patients undergoing hip arthroscopy for Femoroacetabular Impingement (FAI), including test-retest reliability and correlation with validated hip outcome measures. Methods: Patients undergoing elective hip arthroscopy for FAI were consecutively enrolled at a major academic center. Patients with chronic comorbidities, bilateral FAI with a staged approach, and lack of postoperative follow-up were excluded. Eligible patients completed the modified Hip Harris Score (mHHS), Hip Outcome Score Activities of Daily Living (HOS-ADL), International Hip Outcome Tool (iHOT-12), and PROMIS including PF, pain interference, and activity satisfaction. Questionnaires were completed preoperatively, two, and six weeks postoperatively. Ceiling effects were determined to be present if greater than 15% of patients scored the highest possible score on one of the patient reported outcome measurement tools in this study. The correlation of preoperative values with postoperative function were assessed utilizing the Pearson coefficient. Normality was evaluated using the Shapiro-Wilk test. Dependent sample t-tests were utilized to compare means in test-retest reliability. Results: There were 38 patients with a mean age of 29.3 ± 8.9 years (54% female) identified for the study. PROMIS demonstrated excellent correlation with HOS-ADL (Pearson coefficient of 0.81, Figure 1), as well as mHHS (0.80) and iHOT-12 (0.73). Patients with higher PROMIS-pain interference and pain intensity scores demonstrated a negative linear correlation with mHHS (r=-0.86, p<0.05), HOS-ADL (r=-0.71, p<0.05), and iHOT-12 (-0.71, p<0.01). PROMIS scores exhibited significant responsiveness to hip arthroscopy. Patients with higher activity satisfaction demonstrated excellent-good correlation with mHHS scores (r=0.66, p<0.05) and HOS-ADL (0.66, p<0.05). PROMIS also demonstrated excellent test-retest reliability with no variability in scores, including PF (55.5 ± 8.6 vs. 54.2 ± 10.5, p=0.74). No floor or ceiling effects were exhibited by PROMIS including the physical function, pain interference, pain intensity, social participation, and role satisfaction domain scores. Conclusion: PROMIS is a valid and efficient PRO in hip arthroscopy for FAI demonstrating excellent test-retest reliability and correlation with established hip outcome measures. No floor or ceiling effects were demonstrated by PROMIS. Subdomains also exhibit excellent prognostic ability in the clinical setting.

The purpose of this study was to assess the recovery patterns following surgery for distal radial fracture (DRF) in patients over ( n = 99) and under ( n = 273) the age of 65 using the Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) Physical Function (PF) and Pain Interference (PI) questionnaires. Both the older and younger cohorts showed postoperative improvement in PF and PI. The younger cohort had higher PF scores from 1 to 6 months postoperatively, however, PI scores were not significantly different between the cohorts during any period. A greater proportion of younger patients achieved the minimal clinically important difference improvement on the PROMIS PF (80% versus 66%) and PI (88% versus 75%) scales. To appropriately manage postoperative expectations, older patients should be counselled that they would likely experience most of their functional recovery by 3 months and limitations due to pain would likely be stable by 1 month. Level of evidence: II

Background: Although minimal clinically important difference (MCID), Patient Acceptable Symptom State (PASS), and substantial clinical benefit (SCB) have been defined for hip-specific legacy patient-reported outcome measures, these metrics have not been defined for the Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) instruments for patients undergoing hip arthroscopy. Purpose: To define the MCID, PASS, and SCB thresholds for the PROMIS Physical Function (PF) computerized adaptive test (CAT) and PROMIS Pain Interference (PI) instruments in patients undergoing hip arthroscopy for femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS). Study Design: Cohort study (Diagnosis); Level of evidence, 2. Methods: Patients undergoing primary hip arthroscopy between August 2018 and January 2019 for the treatment of FAIS were retrospectively analyzed. Patients were administered the PROMIS-PF, PROMIS-PI, Hip Outcome Score (HOS)–Activities of Daily Living, HOS–Sports Subscale, modified Harris Hip Score, and International Hip Outcome Tool–12 preoperatively and at 1 year postoperatively. MCID was calculated using the distribution method, whereas PASS and SCB were calculated using an anchor-based method. Patients achieving clinically significant outcomes (CSOs) were compared with those who did not achieve CSOs via chi-square and independent-samples t tests, and a multivariate logistic regression was conducted to determine predictors of CSO achievement. Results: 124 patients with a mean age of 32.7 ± 12.3 years were included in the analysis. The threshold scores required to achieve MCID, PASS, and SCB, respectively, were as follows: PROMIS-PI (–3.1, 53.7, 51.9) and PROMIS-PF (3.3, 47.0, 49.9). Patients achieved any MCID, PASS, and SCB for PROMIS scores at a rate of 89.0%, 71.8%, and 62.1%, respectively, compared with 87.1%, 76.6%, and 71.8% for legacy patient-reported outcome measurements. For PROMIS-PF, higher preoperative PROMIS-PF score was a positive predictor of CSO achievement, and patients achieving SCB were significantly younger (30.3 ± 12 vs 35.6 ± 12 years; P = .017) with significantly lower body mass index (BMI) (24.7 ± 6.4 vs 27.9 ± 7; P = .009). Preoperative chronic pain and history of orthopaedic surgery were negative predictors of PROMIS-PI CSO achievement, whereas higher (worse) preoperative PROMIS-PI scores were a positive predictor. Conclusion: Our study defined the MCID, PASS, and SCB for the PROMIS-PF CAT and PROMIS-PI CAT at 1 year postoperatively. Patients with higher preoperative PROMIS scores, younger age, and lower BMI were more likely to achieve CSO, whereas preoperative chronic pain and history of orthopaedic surgery were negative predictors of CSO achievement.
