Longitudinal Construct Validity

Objective.The Patient Reported Outcome Measurement Information System (PROMIS) is a collection of item banks of self-reported health. This study assessed the feasibility and construct validity of using PROMIS instruments in vasculitis.Methods.Data from a multicenter longitudinal cohort of subjects with systemic vasculitis were used. Instruments from 10 PROMIS item banks were selected with direct involvement of patients. Subjects completed PROMIS instruments using computer adaptive testing (CAT). The Medical Outcomes Study Short Form-36 (SF-36) was also administered. Cross-sectional construct validity was assessed by calculating correlations of PROMIS scores with SF-36 measures and physician and patient global scores for disease activity. Longitudinal construct validity was assessed by correlations of between-visit differences in PROMIS scores with differences in other measures.Results.During the study period, 973 subjects came for 2306 study visits and the PROMIS collection was completed at 2276 (99%) of visits. The median time needed to complete each PROMIS instrument ranged from 40 to 55 s. PROMIS instruments correlated cross-sectionally with individual scales of the SF-36, most strongly with subscales of the SF-36 addressing the same domain as the PROMIS instrument. For example, PROMIS fatigue correlated with both the physical component score (PCS; r = −0.65) and with the mental component score (MCS; r = −0.54). PROMIS physical function correlated strongly with PCS (r = 0.81) but weakly with MCS (r = 0.29). Weaker correlations were observed longitudinally between change in PROMIS scores with change in PCS and MCS.Conclusion.Collection of data using CAT PROMIS instruments is feasible among patients with vasculitis and has some cross-sectional and longitudinal construct validity.

Measurement Information System

Background: The Patient-Reported Outcome Measurement Information System (PROMIS) was developed to improve patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) and administration through a computer adaptive test (CAT). The PROMIS physical function-CAT (PF-CAT) has not been investigated in patients with patellofemoral instability (PFI). Purpose/Hypothesis: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the construct validity of the PROMIS PF-CAT with previously validated tools for measuring PROMs in patients with a diagnosis of PFI. We hypothesized that the PF-CAT will have the strongest correlations with other PROMs that evaluated PF as well as moderate correlations with PROMs that measured other health domains. Study Design: Cohort study (diagnosis); Level of evidence, 2. Methods: Patients enrolled in this study who underwent operative intervention for PFI completed the following evaluations preoperatively: PROMIS PF-CAT, 36-Item Short Form Health Survey (SF-36), Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS), EuroQol-5 dimensions (EQ-5D), and Kujala Anterior Knee Pain Scale (AKPS). Correlation coefficients and the percentage of patients achieving the highest and lowest possible outcome score of each instrument were calculated to assess floor and ceiling effects. Statistical significance was defined as P < .05. Results: In total, 91 participants (63.7% females; mean age, 20.1 ± 7.2 years) completed the questionnaires. PF-CAT had the lowest number of questions (4.3 ± 1.1). The strongest correlations were between the PF-CAT and SF-36 PF subscale ( r = 0.78; P < .01), AKPS ( r = 0.68; P < .01), and KOOS Activities of Daily Living subscale ( r = 0.68; P < .01). Correlation was moderate between the PF-CAT and the KOOS subscales of Sports/Recreation ( r = 0.58; P < .01), Quality of Life ( r = 0.53; P < .01), and Symptoms ( r = 0.47; P < .01). The PROMIS PF-CAT demonstrated no floor or ceiling effects. Conclusion: In patients with PFI, construct validity of the PROMIS PF-CAT was supported by strong correlations demonstrated between the PF-CAT and PROMs evaluating PF and moderate correlations with those assessing other health domains. Our results demonstrated a low respondent burden and no floor or ceiling effects associated with the PROMIS PF-CAT. The PROMIS PF-CAT may be considered a beneficial alternative to previously established PF PROMs for preoperative evaluation of patients with PFI.

Test Retest Reliability

Background The evaluation of Patient Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) computerized adaptive test (CAT) in adults with systemic lupus erythematous (SLE) is an emerging field of research. We aimed to examine the test–retest reliability and construct validity of the PROMIS CAT in a Canadian cohort of patients with SLE. Methods Two hundred twenty-seven patients completed 14 domains of PROMIS CAT and seven legacy instruments during their clinical visits. Test–retest reliability of PROMIS was evaluated 7–10 days from baseline using intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC (2; 1)). The construct validity of the PROMIS CAT domains was evaluated against the commonly used legacy instruments, and also in comparison to disease activity and disease damage using Spearman correlations. A multitrait-multimethod matrix (MMM) approach was used to further assess construct validity comparing selected 10 domains of PROMIS and SF-36 domains. Results Moderate to excellent reliability was found for all domains (ICC [2;1] ranging from lowest, 0.66 for Sleep Disturbance and highest, 0.93 for the Mobility domain). Comparing seven legacy instruments with 14 domains of PROMIS CAT, moderate to strong correlations (0.51–0.91) were identified. The average time to complete all PROMIS CAT domains was 11.7 min. The MMM further established construct validity by showing moderate to strong correlations (0.55–0.87) between select PROMIS and SF-36 domains; the average correlations from similar traits (convergent validity) were significantly greater than the average correlations from different traits. Conclusions These results provide evidence on the reliability and validity of PROMIS CAT in SLE in a Canadian cohort.
