Aim: This study aimed to culturally adapt and psychometrically validate the PROMIS Social Relationships Short Forms (PROMIS-SR) among Chinese patients with breast cancer.
Design: A cross-sectional study.
Method: The PROMIS-SR was translated into simplified Chinese by strictly adhering to the Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy translation method and was subsequently tested among patients with breast cancer (N = 965). Eligible patients filled out the demographic information questionnaire, the PROMIS-SR, and the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Breast.
Results: Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) provided support for the original structure of the PROMIS-SR. All instruments reported strong known-group, cross-cultural and convergent validity, as hypothesized. Correlation coefficients ranged from 0.67 to 0.85, and Cronbach's α of all items were high (0.90-0.94).
Purpose: Bookmarking is a qualitative method used to assign descriptive labels to ranges of patient-reported outcome (PROM) scores. We aimed to evaluate variability between bookmarking samples and test score ranges where there was variability in expert opinion in previous studies.
Methods: We conducted two bookmarking sessions with patients who experienced orthopaedic fractures (n = 11) and one session with orthopaedic clinicians (n = 10).
Background: Multidrug, guideline-directed medical therapy (GDMT) improves mortality and hospitalizations for heart failure (HF), but little is known about how optimization of multidrug GDMT influences patient-reported outcomes. Trials of single GDMT medications demonstrate improvements in patient-reported outcomes; however, the effect of the multidrug GDMT regimen on patient-reported outcomes is unclear.
Objective: The objective of this study is to determine how multidrug optimization during a multidisciplinary, advanced practice provider HF clinic impacted patient-reported symptoms and quality of life in adults with HF.
Background: Socioeconomic status has been recognized as a crucial social determinant of health influencing patient outcomes. Area Deprivation Index (ADI) is a validated measure of an area's socioeconomic status. Limited data exists on the impact of ADI and clinical outcomes and complications following rotator cuff repair (RCR).
Background: Amazonas is a region in northern Peru with the second-highest incidence of malaria. Approximately 95% of the cases are reported in the Condorcanqui province, where native communities living along the banks of Santiago River lack access to potable water, sewage, and electricity. This study aimed to analyse malaria's spatial, temporal, and climatic characteristics in Condorcanqui to guide future studies and prevention strategies.

Objective: The overarching goal of the patient-reported outcomes measurement information system (PROMIS) is to standardize patient-reported outcomes (PROs) across settings and health conditions globally. Following this purpose, the Reha-Toolbox study aimed to link item subsets of the World Health Organization Disability Assessment Schedule (WHODAS 2.0), the Indicators of Rehabilitation Status (IRES-3), and the Hamburg Modules for the Assessment of Psychosocial Health (HEALTH-49) to the standardized metrics provided by PROMIS.
