Patient-reported outcome measures poorly correlate with objective inflammatory bowel disease activity measures: a systematic review.

ABSTRACT:

Background and aims

We investigated the correlations between patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) and other measures of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) activity.

Methods

A systematic literature review was performed up to June 2022. Searches were conducted in PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science. A descriptive analysis was performed. The search protocol was registered in PROSPERO (CRD42022383899).

Results

Nineteen studies assessed correlations between PROMs and clinical, endoscopic, and laboratory measures of disease activity in IBD. In Crohn's disease (CD), weak positive correlations were reported for PROMs (eg, the 2 item patient-reported outcome [PRO-2], mobile Health Index [mHI] for CD) and endoscopic scores, more often the Simple Endoscopic Score for CD (SES-C
