Psychometric Properties of Suboptimal Health Status Instruments: A Systematic Review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Suboptimal health status (SHS) measurement has now been recognized as an essential construct in predictive, preventive, and personalized medicine. Currently, there are limited tools, and an ongoing debate about appropriate tools. Therefore, it is crucial to evaluate and generate conclusive evidence about the psychometric properties of available SHS tools.

Objective

This research aimed to identify and critically assess the psychometric properties of available SHS instruments and provide recommendations for their future use.

Methods

Articles were retrieved by following the guidelines of the PRISMA checklist, and the robustness of methods and evidence about the measurement properties was assessed using the adapted COSMIN checklist. The review was registered in
