Detection of changes of functioning over time after asthma exacerbation in children with the use of PROMIS domains.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Patient reported outcome measures, such as the Patient Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) may be utilized to understand experiences of patients. The purpose of this study was to determine the ability of PROMIS domains to detect changes in pain, physical functioning, and asthma impact over time for children experiencing asthma exacerbation.

Methods

Our prospective cohort study included children presenting to the emergency department (ED) for asthma exacerbation. Children completed PROMIS surveys in the ED, 7-10 days, and 1-3 months post-discharge. We used linear mixed models adjusted for age, gender, acute care utilization, and child global health to determine changes in PROMIS T-scores. We used self-reported child health response (Much bette
