Background: A task force from the US National Institute of Health aimed to establish parameters for surveys with patients with chronic low back pain (LBP) by recommending the use of the Patient-Reported Outcome Measurement Information System 29-item (PROMIS-29) questionnaire and the stratification according to the Impact Score. We aimed to assess the internal consistency, reliability, measurement error, construct validity and responsiveness of the Brazilian-Portuguese version of the PROMIS-29 questionnaire (version 2.1) and the Impact Score in patients with chronic LBP.

Methods: A prospective cohort study was carried out with patients with chronic LBP who were receiving physiotherapy treatment in clinics in São Paulo and Vitória cities, Brazil. The sample included 102 patients with chronic LBP, aged between 18 and 80 years, and with the ability to read and write in the Brazilian-Portuguese language. Exclusion criteria were patients with serious spinal conditions, cognitive impairment, pregnant women, and patients who had undergone lumbar surgery within the past six months. The PROMIS-29 questionnaire, the 12-item Short-Form Health Survey and the Roland-Morris Disability Questionnaire were applied. The PROMIS-29 questionnaire was reapplied after 24 hours and 4 weeks.

Results: The PROMIS-29 questionnaire showed Cronbach's Alpha values between 0.81 (anxiety) and 0.91 (depression). The ICC ranged from 0.85 (95% CI: 0.77 to 0.89) to 0,97 (CI 95%: 0.95 to 0.98). The SEM values ranged between 0.85 (physical function) and 2.62 (ability to participate in social roles and activities). The Impact Score showed Cronbach's Alpha, ICC and SEM values of 0.91, 0.97 (95% CI: 0.95 to 0.98) and 0.56, respectively. The PROMIS-29 questionnaire and the Impact Score showed sufficient construct validity. The PROMIS-29 questionnaire showed moderate responsiveness, while the Impact Score showed sufficient responsiveness.

Conclusions: Both the Brazilian-Portuguese version of the PROMIS-29 questionnaire and the Impact Score showed sufficient internal consistency, reliability, construct validity and responsiveness in Brazilian patients with chronic LBP. The results support the US National Institutes of Health's recommendation to use the PROMIS-29 questionnaire and the Impact Score in patients with chronic LBP. We suggest that future studies evaluate the structural validity of the Brazilian-Portuguese version of the PROMIS-29 questionnaire.

Clinical Trial Number: Not applicable.

Association of binge alcohol use with functional outcomes among individuals with COVID-19 infection.

Alcohol Alcohol

November 2024

Department of Family Medicine, University of Washington, 4225 Roosevelt Way NE, Suite 308, Seattle, WA, 98105, United States.

Aims: Alcohol consumption along with negative sequelae from excess alcohol intake increased during the COVID-19 pandemic. We evaluated the association between binge alcohol use and long-term functional outcomes among COVID-19-positive individuals.

Methods: Using a prospective, longitudinal, multisite cohort study design, we evaluated the association between binge alcohol use and mental and physical functional outcomes using Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS)-29 scores three and six months postinfection.

Background: There is a paucity of studies on patient-reported outcomes and quality of life (QoL) in conservatively managed patients with a cerebral cavernous malformation (CCM).

Methods: This single-center observational study included consecutive adult CCM patients, diagnosed in 2000-2023, managed conservatively, and with at least 6 months of follow-up. Patients completed two validated patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs): EuroQol 5-dimensions 5-levels (EQ-5D-5L), and Patient-Reported Outcome Measurement Information System 29 (PROMIS-29).

Objective: We evaluate change in low back pain (LBP) intensity and interference as the mechanism by which chiropractic care affects other biopsychosocial factors in US active-duty military members.

Design: We conducted secondary, exploratory mediation analysis of pragmatic, multisite, clinical trial (NCT01692275) post results using natural effect modeling. Mediators were the 6-week values of Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS)-29 pain interference and intensity.

Adults with cancer may perceive cannabis as beneficial for managing their cancer-related symptoms, but the evidence supporting its medical use is varied and inconclusive. This study characterized associations of cannabis use with cancer-related symptom trajectories. Participants were adults undergoing cancer treatment at the Stephenson Cancer Center (SCC; n = 218) in Oklahoma; they were 71% female, 10% minoritized race, and 45% had stage III or IV cancer.

The EORTC QLU-C10D distinguished better between cancer patients and the general population than PROPr and EQ-5D-5L in a cross-sectional study.

Objectives: Health state utility (HSU) instruments for calculating quality-adjusted life years, such as the European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) Quality of Life Utility - Core 10 Dimensions (QLU-C10D), derived from the EORTC QLQ-30 questionnaire, the Patient-Reported Outcome Measurement Information System (PROMIS) preference score (PROPr), and the EuroQoL-5-Dimensions-5-Levels (EQ-5D-5L), yield different HSU values due to different modeling and different underlying descriptive scales. For example the QLU-C10D includes cancer-relevant dimensions such as nausea. This study aimed to investigate how these differences in descriptive scales contribute to differences in HSU scores by comparing scores of cancer patients receiving chemotherapy to those of the general population.
