Psychometric validation and testing of the 10-item pediatric daily chest-related electronic patient reported outcome (ePRO) diary.

ABSTRACT:

Background and objective

The chest-related electronic patient reported outcome (ePRO) diary was recently developed to assess chest-related symptoms experienced by pediatric and adolescent populations during upper respiratory tract infections (URTI). The objective of this research was the psychometric evaluation of the chest-related ePRO diary in pediatric, adolescent and adult participants.

Methods

This non-interventional, psychometric validation study involved participants (N = 195; n = 42 6-8 years; n = 47 9-11 years; n = 55 12-17 years, n = 51 18+ years) completing the chest-related ePRO diary twice daily for 10 days while experiencing an acute URTI. Preliminary item-level performance and dimensionality results, along with consideration of previous qualitative findings, w
