Content Validity of Patient-Reported Outcome Measures Developed for Assessing Disease-Specific Quality of Life in Children With Sinonasal Disease: A Systematic Review.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Paediatric sinonasal disease is prevalent worldwide, giving rise to substantial healthcare costs and morbidity. However, there is a lack of sinus-specific patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) tailored for children. This study aimed to evaluate existing PROMs against established validation criteria to determine whether a paediatric-specific, validated instrument for assessing sinonasal disease currently exists.

Methods

Medline (Ovid), Embase (Ovid), Emcare (Ovid), and the Cochrane Library were searched from inception to January 2024. Eligibility was restricted to PROM development or content validity studies conducted in all children with sinonasal disease. Content validity was assessed using the COnsensus-based Standards for the selection of health Measurement
