Article Abstract

Objective: Idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIM) are a group of diseases characterized by muscle weakness, which limit activities of daily living. Patient Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) is a set of outcome measures developed using NIH funding, but has not yet been studied in adult IIM. Currently, the most commonly used PROs in IIM are Health Assessment Questionnaire (HAQ-DI) and SF-36 physical function-10 (PF10), both of which have several limitations. In this study, we investigated psychometric properties of PROMIS physical function-20 (PF-20) and compared to HAQ-DI and SF-36 PF10.

Methods: Patients with IIM completed PROMIS PF-20 and six myositis core set measures [manual muscle testing (MMT), physician (MD-GDA), patient (PT-GDA) and extra-muscular global disease activity, HAQ-DI and creatine kinase], SF-36 PF10 and functional tests [six-minute walk, timed up-and-go and sit-to-stand tests] at monthly visits over 6-months. Total improvement score (TIS) using 2016 ACR/EULAR myositis response criteria was obtained as measures of change.

Results: Fifty patients [mean age, 51.6; 60% females] were enrolled; 6 PM, 24 DM, 9 NM and 11 with AS. PROMIS PF-20 showed strong test-retest reliability when repeated in 1-month. PROMIS PF-20 had moderate-strong correlations with MD-GDA, PT-GDA, MMT, HAQ-DI, SF-36 PF10, and functional tests indicating good convergent validity. Change in PROMIS PF-20 strongly correlated with TIS demonstrating good responsiveness. HAQ-DI and SF-36 PF10 exhibited similar validity and responsiveness; HAQ-DI was found to have a ceiling effect.

Conclusion: PROMIS PF-20 demonstrates favorable psychometric properties in a large cohort of myositis patients and offers distinct advantages.

Objectives: There is an unmet need to develop patient-reported outcomes measures for idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIM). We aimed to investigate the feasibility, compliance and psychometric properties of the National Institutes of Health's Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) physical function-20 (PF-20) in a large US IIM population.

Methods: 'Myositis Patient Centered Tele-Research' (My PACER) is a multicentre prospective observational study of IIM patients, competitively recruited through traditional in-person clinic visits [centre-based cohort (CBC)], and remotely using smartphone- and web-based technology [tele-research cohort (TRC)].

Background: Inappropriate imaging and low-value care for low back pain (LBP) are common. A new patient-education booklet was created to overcome identified barriers to the delivery of recommended care, including the use of inappropriate imaging. Our aim was to assess the effectiveness of this booklet as part of primary care for LBP patients in comparison to usual care.
