Inflammatory myopathies

Comparison of Patient‐Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System Computerized Adaptive Testing Versus Fixed Short Forms in Juvenile Myositis

Arthritis Care Res (Hoboken)Published Cross-sectional study

Authors' conclusion

PROMIS CAT appears to be feasible and correlated with FSFs. CAT had less pronounced floor/ceiling effects, allowing detection of individual differences in less symptomatic patients.
