Background: The Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) Global-10 measures physical and mental health and provides an estimated EuroQol-5 Dimension (EQ-5D) score. The purpose of this study was to determine the correlation between the PROMIS Global-10 and several gold-standard legacy measures to validate its overall performance and usefulness in patients with shoulder arthritis.
Methods: The study prospectively enrolled 161 patients with shoulder arthritis before treatment. Each patient completed the PROMIS, EQ-5D, American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES) Assessment Form, Single Assessment Numeric Evaluation (SANE), and Western Ontario Osteoarthritis of the Shoulder (WOOS) Index. Spearman correlations were calculated, and Bland-Altman agreement tests were conducted between estimated EQ-5D scores from the PROMIS and actual EQ-5D scores. Ceiling and floor effects were determined.
Results: Correlation between the PROMIS and EQ-5D was excellent (0.72, P < .001). However, agreement for estimated EQ-5D ranged from 0.37 below to 0.36 above actual EQ-5D scores. Correlation of the PROMIS physical score was good with the ASES score (0.57, P < .001) and poor with the SANE score (0.23, P = .0045) and WOOS score (0.11, P = .3743). Correlation of the PROMIS mental score was poor when compared with all patient-reported outcome instruments investigated (ASES score, 0.26 [P = .0012]; SANE score, 0.13 [P = .1004]; and WOOS score, 0.09 [P = .4311]). No floor or ceiling effects were observed.
Conclusion: PROMIS Global-10 physical scores show excellent correlation with the EQ-5D. However, the PROMIS Global-10 cannot replace actual EQ-5D scores for cost-effectiveness assessment in this population because of the large variance in agreement between actual and PROMIS Global-10-estimated EQ-5D scores. PROMIS Global-10 physical scores showed good correlation with the ASES score but poor correlation with other gold-standard patient-reported outcome instruments, suggesting that it is an inappropriate instrument for outcome measurement in populations with shoulder arthritis.

Purpose: This single-center, comparative cohort study aimed to compare the functional outcomes between patients who have undergone laparoscopic ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (lap-IPAA) and those who have undergone transanal ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (ta-IPAA).
Methods: Patients with ulcerative colitis who underwent IPAA at Mount Sinai Hospital between 2012 and 2022 and were at least 6 months after ileostomy reversal were invited to complete a survey. Patients with colorectal cancer, a handsewn anastomosis, anastomotic leak, or pouch failure were excluded.

Background: Certified peer support specialists (CPSs) can empower individuals with serious mental illness (SMI) to engage with mobile health interventions designed to improve medical and psychiatric self-management. This study pilot-tested PeerTECH, a digital, 12-session intervention adapted from Integrated Illness Management and Recovery and delivered by CPSs, to assess its feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary effectiveness in enhancing self-management among individuals with SMI compared to peer support as usual (PSAU).
Methods: A two-arm pilot randomized controlled trial was conducted with individuals diagnosed with SMI and at least one medical comorbidity.

Background/aims: Self-reported food triggers are common in patients with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and functional dyspepsia (FD), often leading to dietary restrictions which can be exacerbated by "fear of food." This study aimed to evaluate the frequency of self-reported food triggers and food-related fears in IBS and FD patients and assess their impact on nutrient intake and health-related quality of life (HRQoL).
Methods: Patients meeting Rome IV criteria for IBS or FD, along with healthy controls (HCs), were enrolled.

Background: Ileal pouch-anal anastomosis is the standard procedure for patients with ulcerative colitis or unclassified inflammatory bowel disease seeking intestinal continuity post-proctocolectomy. Previous studies on function are limited by retrospective design, single-center scope, and insufficient functional domain data.
Objective: To provide prospective, multicenter data on functional outcomes after ileal pouch-anal anastomosis.

Background: Nurse-led health coaching is a promising intervention in oncology care aimed at improving patient-centered outcomes such as self-efficacy, symptom management, and adherence. This study investigates the association between the frequency of health coaching sessions and key clinical and psychosocial outcomes among cancer patients undergoing active treatment.
Objective: To explore the impact of nurse-led health coaching on self-efficacy, symptom severity, adherence, shared decision-making, and emotional well-being in oncology patients, with outcomes assessed immediately after coaching sessions.
