Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) Instruments: Reliability and Validity in Veterans Following Orthopedic Surgery.
The patient-reported outcomes measurement information system (PROMIS) offers standardized assessment measures of clinically relevant patient-reported outcomes. This study evaluated the reliability and validity of select PROMIS measures with U. S. military veterans following orthopedic surgery. ⋯ The PROMIS measures were moderately correlated with their respective comparison measures (r = .69 to .76). The PROMIS anxiety and PROMIS depression measures were highly correlated to one another (r = .91). Findings highlight the potential utility of these PROMIS measures in veterans following orthopedic surgery and the overlap between the PROMIS depression and anxiety measures in this sample.
