Validation of Patient-reported Outcomes Measurement Information System Computer Adaptive Tests in Lumbar Disk Herniation Surgery.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Inadequate validation, floor/ceiling effects, and time constraints limit utilization of standardized patient-reported outcome measures. We aimed to validate Patient-reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) computer adaptive tests (CATs) for patients treated surgically for a lumbar disk herniation.

Methods

PROMIS, CATs, Oswestry Disability Index, and Short Form-12 measures were administered to 78 patients treated with lumbar microdiskectomy for symptomatic disk herniation with radiculopathy.

Results

PROMIS CATs demonstrated convergent validity with legacy measures; PROMIS scores were moderately to highly correlated with the Oswestry Disability Index and Short Form-12 physical component scores (r = 0.41 and 0.78, respectively). PROMIS CATs
