We searched MEDLINE, Embase, Scopus, and American Psychological Association PsycINFO for studies where participants are given the same health-related measure (eg, quality of life, well-being, functioning, and pain) with differing recall periods.
A total of 7174 abstracts were screened. The 30 included studies reflected a wide range of domains, including pain, fatigue, and sexual behavior and function. The recall periods ranged from momentary to 6 months. The analytic approaches varied, including different methods for assessing relative agreement, absolute agreement, and for assessing combined relative and absolute agreement.
We found variability in how PROM recall periods were evaluated, suggesting an opportunity for greater consensus on methodological approach. As a starting point, we provide recommendations for which methods are preferred for which contexts.
方法:我们搜索了MEDLINE,Embase,Scopus,和APAPsycINFO用于研究参与者被给予相同的健康相关措施(例如,生活质量,幸福,功能,和痛苦)有不同的召回期。
结果:共筛选了7,174篇摘要。纳入的30项研究反映了广泛的领域,包括疼痛,疲劳,性行为和性功能。召回期从短暂到六个月不等。分析方法各不相同,包括评估相对协议的不同方法,绝对协议,并用于评估相对和绝对一致性。
结论:我们发现评估PROM召回期的方式存在差异,建议有机会就方法论方法达成更大的共识。作为起点,我们提供了哪些方法更适合哪些环境的建议。
