Key Descriptions

  • Options for administration: Short Form, CAT, or Profile)
  • Minimum and maximum scores depends on the form being used
  • Scoring: Item-levels are scored numerically for an individual's response to each question. PROMIS recommends the best way to find the total raw score is using the free HealthMeasures Scoring Service
    (https://www.assessmentcenter.net/ac_scoringservice) or a tool that can automatically calculate scores. Scores can also be added up by hand to find the total raw score. Then the raw score is converted to a T-score using the table in the Appendix of the link below. This standardizes the score with a mean of 50 and standard deviation of 10. Being above or below the standard deviation could be desirable or undesirable based on the domain being measured.
  • Higher scores means more of the concept being measured. Example = more anxiety

Considerations

  • PROMIS measures can be used in pediatric populations with a chronic condition(s)
  • PROMIS measures have a larger range of measurement than most conventional measures, decreasing floor and ceiling effects as a result
  • PROMIS measures have fewer items than conventional measures, thereby decreasing respondent burden. When used as computer adaptive tests, PROMIS measures usually require 4-6 items for precise measurement of health-related constructs

Pediatric Disorders

back to Populations

Minimally Clinically Important Difference (MCID)

Nephrotic Syndrome: Selewski et al, 2017; n=127; Age Range=8-17; Severity= active nephrotic syndrome

  • MID = 3

Normative Data

Nephrotic Syndrome: Selewski et al, 2017; n=127; Age Range=8-17; Severity= active nephrotic syndrome

  • Baseline
    • Mean score (n=127): 49.4 (10.6)
  • Event visit [occurred after remission or 3-months post baseline]
    • Mean score (n=112): 43.2 (11.5)
  • Final visit [12-months post-baseline]
    • Mean score (n=90): 44.5 (10.7)

Test/Retest Reliability

General population: (Varni et al, 2014; n=331; age= 12.1; General Pediatrics)

  • Excellent test-retest Reliability for short form (ICC = .74)
  • Excellent test-retest Reliability for CAT (ICC = .74)

Internal Consistency

General population: (Varni et al, 2014; n=331; age= 12.1; General Pediatrics)

  • Excellent internal consistency (α=.83-.84)

 

Childhood-Onset Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE)

Jones, 2017; n=100 (at visit baseline); Age=15.8?(2.2)

  • Excellent internal consistency for PROMIS-Short Form pooled across all visits: (Cronbach’s Alpha = 0.91)

Construct Validity

Pediatric Traumatic Brain Injury(Bertisch, et. al, 2017.,n=115 children, range= 8-18)

Child Version: Convergent:

  • Excellent PedsQL Emotional: r = -0.82
  • Poor correlation with SDQ Hyperactivity: r = 0.40
  • Adequate correlation with SDQ Emotional: r = 0.76

Child Version: Discriminant:

  • Poor correlation with PedsQL Physical: r = -0.50

Nephrotic Syndrome: Selewski et al, 2017; n=127; Age Range=8-17; Severity= active nephrotic syndrome

    • Adequate correlation with Peds QL Physical Functioning (ρ=-.51)
    • Adequate correlation with Peds QL Emotional Functioning (ρ=-.68)
    • Poor correlation with Peds QL Social Functioning (ρ=-.35)
    • Adequate correlation with Peds QL School Functioning (ρ=-.51)

Adequate correlation with overall health-related QOL (ρ=-.64)

Responsiveness

General population: (Varni et al, 2014; n=331; age= 12.1; General Pediatrics)

  • Effect size: .01 to .02

 

 Childhood‐Onset Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (Jones, et. al, 2017)

   - Low‐迟辞‐fair correlation (rpool?≤?0.42) of change of the legacy measure summary scores (FDI, C‐HAQ, CHQ‐psychosocial summary, CHQ‐ physical summary, PedsQL‐GC, PedsQL‐RM, and SMILEY) with the change of the scores of the PROMIS‐SFs 

   - Strong support for the usefulness of PROMIS-SFs to capture clinically relevant changes in HRQoL in patients with childhood-onset SLE
