Comparison of Patient-Reported Outcomes for Major Pathologies of the Forefoot, Midfoot, Hindfoot, and Achilles Using PROMIS.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) is a newly developed patient-reported outcome that has been validated for the general foot and ankle population and has been applied to a variety of specific foot and ankle procedures. However, there is little data regarding clinical outcomes of patients at a more intermediate subgroup level. Thus, our study utilized PROMIS to provide normative data on pathologic conditions of the foot and ankle and assess postoperative outcomes based on anatomical location.

Methods

Preoperative and 1-year postoperative PROMIS Physical Function (PF) and Pain Interference (PI) surveys were prospectively collected from a cohort of patients undergoing a foot and ankle procedure at a tertiary medical center. The cohort was split into forefoot (n = 136), midfoot (n = 44), hindfoot (n = 109), and Achilles (n = 62) procedure groups. Paired-t tests were used to compare preoperative versus postoperative outcomes within operative groups, while a 1-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to detect differences in PROMIS scores between anatomic subgroups.

Results

Paired t tests indicated that all 4 operative groups had significantly improved PROMIS PF and PI scores preoperatively versus 1 year postoperatively (all P < .001). One-way ANOVA demonstrated that there were no differences in postoperative PROMIS PF and PI scores between anatomic subgroups. A majority of patients achieved the minimal clinically important difference level of improvement in PROMIS PF and PI scores following surgery.

Conclusions

All 4 operative groups had improvement in physical function and pain outcomes. Additionally, there were no differences in physical function and pain outcomes between operative groups.

Level of evidence

Project description:Isolated midfoot and hindfoot Charcot reconstruction using internal fixation is increasingly a common procedure in multidisciplinary diabetic foot units, and the surgical techniques using internal fixation have well been described. However, about a third of Charcot deformities that require surgical limb salvage present with the involvement of midfoot and hindfoot. Surgical reconstruction of a combined hindfoot and midfoot deformity is an evolving technique and technically challenging. We present the surgical technique of deformity correction and stabilisation using internal fixation, developed by the senior author (VK), and present the outcomes. All patients that had undergone combined hindfoot and midfoot reconstruction to address a limb threatening deformity due to Charcot neuroarthropathy, performed by the senior author, with a minimum follow-up of 12 months, have been included in this study. The principles of surgical reconstruction included adequate pre-operative optimisation of the patient, sequential deformity correction and stabilisation of the hindfoot followed by midfoot using the principle of long-segment rigid internal fixation with optimal bone opposition. Standard post-operative regime, including offloading, has been used in all patients. A total of 34 patients (35 feet) had undergone combined midfoot and hindfoot Charcot reconstruction between January 2009 and December 2019. Active ulcers were noted in 13 feet at the time of the procedure. Eleven reconstructions were performed as two-stage procedures due to the presence of active infection. At a mean follow-up of 53 months, 11/13 ulcer healed, and 32 patients (33 feet) were full weightbearing in surgical shoes or a brace at the latest follow-up. Bone fusion was noted in 28 feet in the hindfoot region and 32 feet in the midfoot. Metal work failure was noted in 5 feet requiring removal in 3 feet. Revision procedures were required in 4 patients. Our newly described technique of combined hindfoot and midfoot Charcot has provided functional limb salvage in majority of presentations, with an acceptable level of complications, at a medium-term follow-up of 53 months.

Project description:PurposeTo analyze time to completion of preoperative legacy patient-reported outcomes (PROs) and more recent computer adaptive Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) questionnaires in patients with symptomatic femoroacetabular impingement syndrome undergoing primary hip arthroscopy.MethodsA retrospective analysis was conducted on patients undergoing hip arthroscopy by a single fellowship-trained hip arthroscopist. Inclusion criteria were patients undergoing primary arthroscopic hip surgery and completion of at least 1 legacy PRO or PROMIS questionnaire at the preoperative time point. Exclusion criteria were history of contralateral or ipsilateral hip surgery, non-English-speaking patients, patients who completed PROs by phone or by paper form, and patients who did not complete preoperative PROs. Legacy PROs included modified Harris Hip Score (mHHS), Hip Outcome Score (HOS), International Hip Outcome Tool (iHOT-12), and Hip Pain Visual Analog Scale (VAS-Pain). PROMIS PROs included Physical Function (PROMIS-PF), Pain Interference (PROMIS-PI), and Depression (PROMIS-D). Only preoperative PROs were included in the analysis. Completion time was calculated using the questionnaire start and stop time reported by the survey collecting software. The median and interquartile range of each PRO were reported for analysis of central tendency and statistical dispersion, respectively.ResultsA total of 1,901 patients and 269 patients were included in the legacy and PROMIS groups, respectively. The median time required for completion of each PRO in (minutes: seconds) format was as follows: mHHS (1:29), HOS (3:58), iHOT (2:11), VAS-Pain (0:32), PROMIS-PF (0:46), PROMIS-PI (0:37), and PROMIS-D (0:43). The interquartile range of the middle 50% of respondents was as follows; mHHS (0:58), HOS (2:46), iHOT (1:22), VAS-Pain (0:28), PROMIS-PI (0:19), PROMIS-D (0:29), and PROMIS-PF (0:20).ConclusionsThis study supports that preoperative PROMIS forms require less time to complete than preoperative legacy PROs and are not significantly influenced by age, race, or workers compensation status.Level of evidenceLevel IV, case series.

Project description:Background and objectiveThe Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS-29) is gaining popularity as healthcare system funders increasingly seek value-based care. However, it is limited in its ability to estimate utilities and thus inform economic evaluations. This study develops the first mapping algorithm for estimating EuroQol 5-Dimension 5-Level (EQ-5D-5L) utilities from PROMIS-29 responses using a large dataset and through extensive comparisons between econometric models.MethodsAn online survey was conducted to collect responses to PROMIS-29 and EQ-5D-5L from the general Australian population (N = 3013). Direct and indirect mapping methods were explored, including linear regression, Tobit, generalised linear model, censored regression model, beta regression (Betamix), the adjusted limited dependent variable mixture model (ALDVMM) and generalised ordered logit. The most robust model was selected by assessing the performance based on average ten-fold cross-validation geometric mean absolute error and geometric mean squared error, the predicted mean, maximum and minimum utilities, as well as the fitting across the entire distribution.ResultsThe direct approach using ALDVMM was considered the preferred model based on lowest geometric mean absolute error and geometric mean squared error in cross-validation (0.0882, 0.0299) and its superiority in predicting the actual observed mean, full health states and lower utility extremes. The robustness and precision in prediction across the entire distribution of utilities with ALDVMM suggest it is an accurate and valid mapping algorithm. Moreover, the suggested mapping algorithm outperformed previously published algorithms using Australian data, indicating the validity of this model for economic evaluations.ConclusionsThis study developed a robust algorithm to estimate EQ-5D-5L utilities from PROMIS-29. Consistent with the recent literature, the ALDVMM outperformed all other econometric models considered in this study, suggesting that the mixture models have relatively better performance and are an ideal candidate model for mapping.
