| dc.description.abstract | Aim: The Patient Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) Upper Extremity (UE) item bank v2.0 has been developed in the USA but is not yet available for The Netherlands or Flanders. The aim of this study was to evaluate cross cultural validity and construct validity of the Dutch-Flemish PROMIS UE item bank (v2.0) in Dutch patients with musculoskeletal upper extremity disorders.
Methods: After translation, the Dutch-Flemish PROMIS UE item bank and several legacy instruments were administered through a questionnaire to adult Dutch patients visiting an orthopedic outpatient clinic. Cross-cultural validity was evaluated with Differential Item Functioning (DIF) for language (Dutch vs. English). To evaluate construct validity, hypotheses were tested for correlations between the item bank and the legacy instruments.
Results: The scores of 205 Dutch patients on the item bank were compared to those of 246 US participants. Eight items showed minimal DIF for language which resulted in sufficient cross-cultural validity. The Dutch-Flemish PROMIS UE item bank had a moderate correlation with the Dutch-Flemish PROMIS Pain Intensity item (r = -0.43) and strong correlations (r ≥ 0.7) with the other instruments, all correlations were as expected.
Conclusion: The Dutch-Flemish PROMIS UE item bank (v2.0) has sufficient cross-cultural validity and construct validity. The next step is to further validate the item bank by full item bank calibration.
Clinical Relevance: After full item bank calibration is established, the Dutch-Flemish PROMIS UE item bank (v2.0) can serve as a basis for short forms and Computerized Adaptive Testing, resulting in high measurement precision and low patient burden. This will improve quality and efficiency in clinical outcome measurement in Dutch and Flemish patients with upper extremity conditions. | |
