Pediatric rheumatology

Psychometric properties of patient-reported outcomes measurement information system (PROMIS) fixed short forms in Juvenile Myositis

Semin Arthritis RheumPublished Psychometric validation study

Authors' conclusion

PROMIS measures show evidence of reliability and validity in JM. Child and parent reports differ sufficiently to suggest both should be collected.

Study context

Population
Children with juvenile myositis (JM) aged 8–17 and parents of JM patients aged 5–1775 JM participants enrolled
Participants
57 vs 75
Comparison
Self-report vs Parent-proxy report
  • Self-reportn = 57
  • Parent-proxy reportn = 75
Outcome
Reliability and validity of PROMIS pediatric self-report and parent-proxy fixed short forms (Physical Function, Pain Interference, Fatigue, Emotional Distress)

Performance

As reported in the abstract

Reliability, agreement and validity of PROMIS measures
Feasibility (completion)
>96%
Internal consistency reliability (Cronbach's alpha)
>0.8
Patient-parent agreement, Mobility, Upper Extremity, Fatigue (intraclass correlations (ICC); moderate)
>0.5
Patient-parent agreement, Pain Interference, Depressive Symptoms, Anxiety (ICC; smaller, as expected)
0.41-0.47
Concurrent validity vs PedsQL-GC/-RM: moderate correlation (Spearman's rho) for all but 1 hypothesized relationships
>0.5
