METHODS: We included 18,944 hand and upper-extremity patients who completed both versions of the PROMIS UE CAT and the qDASH at the same clinical encounter. Shoulder pathology was excluded. Score linkage was performed using the R package equate, and multiple equating models (linear regression, identity, mean, linear, equipercentile, and circle-arc models) were used to establish crosswalk tables.
RESULTS: Mean qDASH and PROMIS UE CAT v1.2 scores were 38.2 (SD = 23.1) and 36.6 (SD = 9.8), respectively. Mean qDASH and PROMIS UE CAT v2.0 scores were 37.3 (SD = 21.8) and 38.3 (SD = 10.4), respectively. Pearson correlations had very strong linear relationships between the qDASH and the PROMIS UE CAT v1.2 and PROMIS UE CAT v2.0 (r = -0.83 [-0.84, -0.92] and r = -0.80 [-0.81, -0.80], respectively). For the equipercentile equating models, the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) had very strong positive relationships to linking measures with ICC = 0.85 (0.84, 0.86) for the qDASH-UE CAT v1.2 crosswalk and ICC = 0.83 (0.82, 0.84) for the qDASH-UE CAT v2.0 crosswalk.
CONCLUSIONS: The linkages establish crosswalk tables using equipercentile equating models to convert the PROMIS UE CAT v1.2 and v2.0 scores to the qDASH and vice versa.
CONCLUSIONS: This study provides crosswalk tables for commonly collected PROMs in hand surgery, increasing the comparability of results between centers using different PROMs to study the same conditions or treatments.
方法:我们纳入了18,944名手部和上肢患者,他们在相同的临床检查中完成了两种版本的PROMISUECAT和qDASH。排除肩关节病理。使用R包等同物进行评分链接,和多个等式模型(线性回归,身份,意思是,线性,等百分位,和圆弧模型)用于建立人行横道表。
结果:平均qDASH和PROMISUECATv1.2得分分别为38.2(SD=23.1)和36.6(SD=9.8),分别。平均qDASH和PROMISUECATv2.0评分分别为37.3(SD=21.8)和38.3(SD=10.4),分别。皮尔逊相关性在qDASH与PROMISUECATv1.2和PROMISUECATv2.0之间具有很强的线性关系(r=-0.83[-0.84,-0.92]和r=-0.80[-0.81,-0.80],分别)。对于等百分位数相等模型,类内相关系数(ICC)与qDASH-UECATv1.2人行横道的ICC=0.85(0.84,0.86)和qDASH-UECATv2.0人行横道的ICC=0.83(0.82,0.84)的联系措施具有非常强的正相关关系。
结论:链接使用等百分位数模型建立人行横道表,将PROMISUECATv1.2和v2.0分数转换为qDASH,反之亦然。
结论:这项研究提供了手外科中常用的PROM的人行横道表,增加使用不同PROM研究相同条件或治疗的中心之间结果的可比性。
