PROMIS^® Adult Health Profiles: Efficient Short-Form Measures of Seven Health Domains.

ABSTRACT:

Background

There is a need for valid self-report measures of core health-related quality of life (HRQoL) domains.

Objective

To derive brief, reliable and valid health profile measures from the Patient Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System^® (PROMIS^®) item banks.

Methods

Literature review, investigator consensus process, item response theory (IRT) analysis, and expert review of scaling results from multiple PROMIS data sets.

These profiles assess important HRQoL domains with highly informative subsets of items from respective item banks and yield reliable information across mild-to-severe levels of HRQoL experiences. Each instrument assesses the domains of pain in
