Pictorial Representation of Illness and Self Measure (PRISM): A Novel Visual Instrument to Quantify Suffering in Liver Cirrhosis Patients and Liver Transplant Recipients

Abstract: BackgroundThe level of suffering of chronically ill patients does not necessarily correlate with illness severity. In this study, we evaluated the burden of suffering and its impact on health-related quality of life in liver transplant recipients and liver cirrhosis patients.Material/MethodsThe Pictorial Representation of Illness and Self Measure (PRISM) was used to explore levels of suffering in outpatients of Münster University Hospital, Germany. Self-illness separation scores were analyzed as a measure of d… Show more

“…To our knowledge, PRISM has not previously been used in patients with UC, although the correlation of the burden of suffering measured by PRISM with conventionally used patient-and physician-reported outcomes is consistent with findings in other diseases [eg, RA, systemic lupus erythematosus, pain, advanced cancer, tinnitus, and liver disease]. [7][8][9][10][11][12]15 In these studies, PRISM SIS showed good correlations with other illness measures, with correlation strength varying according to diagnosis and also between samples with the same diagnosis. 15 One secondary objective of ICONIC was to compare patient and physician perceptions of disease.…”

“…PRISM has been validated as a reliable method for assessing suffering in several chronic conditions, but has not previously been used in patients with UC. [7][8][9][10][11][12] In addition, ICONIC investigated the multifaceted burden of disease in recently diagnosed patients with UC and compared the patient and physician perceptions of UC disease through the use of PRISM and the Simple Clinical Colitis Activity Index [SCCAI] tools.…”

“…PRISM has been validated in a number of dermatological and non-dermatological disorders to measure illness-related suffering. [18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28] To our knowledge, it has not been used before in this clinical context. We chose PRISM since it has several advantages, both practical and conceptual.…”

“…15 PRISM has proved to be valid and reliable in various conditions such as chronic illness, pain and advanced cancer. [18][19][20][21][22][23][24] It has been successfully validated in dermatological diseases too. [25][26][27][28] The main purpose of this study was to quantify the burden of suffering in patients with vulvar chronic inflammatory diseases using PRISM.…”
