Comparative Study
Discrimination Ability of PROMIS Pediatric Domains compared to SRS-22r and Legacy PROMs in Juvenile and Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis.
Comparative cohort study. ⋯ Patients with substantial spinal deformity reported lower activity and function, more pain, and greater physical and psychological stress compared with patients without clinical spinal deformity by legacy PROMs and several PROMIS domains. As PROMIS Physical Activity and Psychological Stress Experiences did not capture these differences, these PROMs may measure different constructs than the legacy PROMs as they relate to spinal curvature and may be less relevant to measure HRQoL in this population.Level of Evidence 3.
