A Systematic Review of Measurement Properties of Patient-Reported Outcome Measures Used in Patients Undergoing Total Knee Arthroplasty

Patient-Reported Outcome Measures for Soft-Tissue Facial Reconstruction: A Systematic Review and Evaluation of the Quality of Their Measurement Properties

“…25,27,28 Other methods for assessing the psychometric properties of a PROM exist. 2,68 However, the COSMIN checklist is now routinely used in systematic reviews of PROMs across many specialities such as orthopaedics, 69 paediatrics, 70 dermatology 71 and neurology 72 and should be incorporated into all PROMs-based systematic reviews in plastic and reconstructive surgery.…”

Patient‐reported outcome measures for facial skin cancer: a systematic review and evaluation of the quality of their measurement properties

“…Previous systematic reviews on this topic have demonstrated many similar PROMs to this review; however, we have assessed the methodological quality of these studies using internationally accepted criteria to minimize the risk of bias. This was performed using the COSMIN checklist, which is now routinely accepted across the systematic review literature and has been used extensively in orthopaedics, paediatrics, neurology and dermatology . A further update to the COSMIN methodology has been published, although this was after this review was performed .…”

Patient reported outcomes in orthopaedics

“…Although this is not a comprehensive list, systematic reviews of the psychometric evidence for PROMs for use in orthopaedic related conditions have been completed for the knee, total knee replacement, anterior cruciate ligament injuries, total hip replacement, foot and ankle disorders, chronic ankle instability, rotator cuff disease, shoulder disability, shoulder specific PROMs, shoulder functional scores, functional limitations in the athletic shoulder, shoulder disability measures translated in Portuguese, brachial plexus injuries, upper extremity following trauma, elbow, hand injuries, carpal tunnel syndrome, wrist and hand function, wrist, neck pain, non‐specific neck pain, cervical degenerative disease, cervical pain, or dysfunction, neck‐specific questionnaires in other languages, non‐specific low back pain . But many more such systematic reviews are available for the array of conditions that are seen by orthopaedic surgeons.…”

“…PROMs have been used in clinical practice for many decades, whether it be a pain scale or some more elaborate measure such as a depression index. In orthopaedic surgery there is an array of PROMs that could potentially be used to manage individual patient care, some of which are cited above, but many more exist and may be appropriate for a specific clinical focus. The two most comprehensive databases of individual PROMs are PROQOLID and BIBLIOPRO, the latter of which is a database of instruments in Spanish.…”
