    AbstractIt is challenging to synthesize findings across studies of pain impact. This study develops a link to estimate the Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) global health measure from the 3-item Pain intensity, interference with Enjoyment of life, interference with General activity (PEG) scale. The PROMIS and PEG items were administered to 795 adults (average age = 51; 54% female, 79% White). We estimated correlations among the PEG and PROMIS items and conducted factor analysis to identify the best subset of PROMIS items for linking to the PEG. An item response theory graded response model was estimated to link the PEG with the 4-item PROMIS global physical health scale. A categorical single-factor model and a bifactor model provided support for a single dimension for the PEG and PROMIS global physical health items. The product-moment correlation between estimated PROMIS global physical health scale from the PEG and the actual global physical health score was .74. The mean difference between estimated PROMIS global physical health scale score from the PEG and the observed global physical health score was less than a T-score point. This study makes it possible to estimate the average global physical health for group-level comparisons in research that includes the PEG. PERSPECTIVE: This article describes an empirical link of the PEG to the PROMIS global physical health scale that makes it possible to estimate the average global physical health in studies that include the PEG. This link can facilitate comparisons among studies that have not administered the PEG or the PROMIS global health scale.Copyright © 2022 The Authors. Published by Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
