    Study DesignCross-sectional prospective study.ObjectiveTo evaluate the Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) Physical Function (PF), Pain Interference (PI), and Depression domains in comparison to the Spine Oncology Study Group-Outcomes Questionnaire (SOSG-OQ) in patients with metastatic spine disease.Summary Of Background DataWhile there remains a significant movement toward incorporating patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) into clinical care, there are few validated PROMs for patients with metastatic spine disease. The SOSG-OQ was designed and validated for metastatic spine tumor patients. However, the use of general symptom-based PROMs, such as PROMIS domains, may reduce both patient and physician burden and improve interdisciplinary care if shown to be concurrently valid.MethodsMetastatic spine tumor patients from January 2017 to July 2021 at a single academic medical center were asked to complete PROMIS PF, PI, and Depression domains and the SOSG-OQ. Spearman correlation (p) coefficients were calculated.ResultsA total of 103 unique visits, representing 79 patients met our inclusion criteria. A majority were men (59; 57%) and Caucasian (93; 90%), and the average age was 64-years-old (range: 34-87). There were 13 different types of histologies reported, with multiple myeloma, breast cancer, and prostate cancer representing 28 (27%), 26 (25%), and 13 (13%), respectively. Additional cancers included renal cell carcinoma, lung cancer, colon cancer, thyroid cancer, large B-cell lymphoma, nonHodgkin lymphoma, esophageal cancer, plasmacytoma, metastatic paraganglioma, and metastatic spindle cell sarcoma. SOSG-OQ was strongly correlated with PROMIS PI (ρ = 0.78) and PROMIS PF (ρ = 0.71), and moderately correlated with PROMIS Depression (ρ = 0.58).ConclusionPROMIS PF, PI, and Depression appear to capture similar clinical insight as the SOSG-OQ. Spine surgeons can consider using these PROMIS domains in lieu of the SOSG-OQ in metastatic spine tumor patients.Level of Evidence: NA.Copyright © 2022 Wolters Kluwer Health, Inc.
