Validating the PROMIS cognitive function short form in cancer survivors.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

The Patient-Reported Outcome Measurement Information System Cognitive Function Short Form 8a  (PROMIS Cog) could provide a shorter, useful alternative to the often used Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy - Cognition (FACT-Cog) in research and clinical care. This study aimed to determine the convergent validity and internal reliability of the PROMIS Cog in 3 separate samples of breast cancer survivors and to explore clinical cut points.

Methods

Data from three samples of breast cancer survivors were used for this secondary analysis. Convergent validity was determined by evaluating correlation strength among the derived PROMIS Cog and measures of depression, anxiety, stress, fatigue, sleep, loneliness, the FACT-Cog . Clinical cut-points for the PROMIS Cog were det
