Objective: To determine common domains across existing musculoskeletal COSs. Secondary aims were to assess the development quality of existing musculoskeletal COSs and whether development quality and patient participation was associated with domain selection.
Study Design And Setting: A systematic review of musculoskeletal COSs.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to determine the minimum clinically important difference (MCID) for two versions of the Quality of Life in Childhood Epilepsy Questionnaire: the full 55-item version (QOLCE-55) and the shorter 16-item version (QOLCE-16).
- Data were gathered from 74 children with epilepsy, using both anchor-based and distribution-based methods to estimate MCID values, with results indicating different scores for each version.
- This research highlights the importance of understanding MCID values to assess whether changes in the quality of life for children with epilepsy are significant, informing better epilepsy care.
Article Synopsis
- The study reviews Patient Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs) specifically for assessing hand fracture recovery, focusing on their psychometric properties.
- Using a COSMIN method, the team searched six databases but only found four studies that met criteria, revealing limited assessments of PROMs like DASH and MHQ.
- The findings indicate a severe lack of high-quality evidence supporting the effectiveness of existing PROMs for hand fractures, highlighting the need for more comprehensive research in this area.
Purpose: Although comprehensive and widespread guidelines on how to conduct systematic reviews of outcome measurement instruments (OMIs) exist, for example from the COSMIN (COnsensus-based Standards for the selection of health Measurement INstruments) initiative, key information is often missing in published reports. This article describes the development of an extension of the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) 2020 guideline: PRISMA-COSMIN for OMIs 2024.
Methods: The development process followed the Enhancing the QUAlity and Transparency Of health Research (EQUATOR) guidelines and included a literature search, expert consultations, a Delphi study, a hybrid workgroup meeting, pilot testing, and an end-of-project meeting, with integrated patient/public involvement.
