Development and Validation of the Keele Musculoskeletal Patient Reported Outcome Measure (MSK-PROM)
PLOS ONE, 2015
Objective To develop and validate a patient report outcome measure (PROM) for clinical practice that can monitor health status of patients with a range of musculoskeletal (MSK) disorders. Methods Constructs for inclusion in the MSK-PROM were identified from a consensus process involving patients with musculoskeletal conditions, clinicians, purchasers of healthcare services, and primary care researchers. Psychometric properties of the brief tool, including face and construct validity, repeatability and responsiveness were assessed in a sample of patients with musculoskeletal pain consulting physiotherapy services in the United Kingdom (n=425). Results The consensus process identified 10 prioritised domains for monitoring musculoskeletal health status: pain intensity, quality of life, physical capacity, interference with social/leisure activities, emotional well-being, severity of most difficult thing, activities and roles, understanding independence, and overall impact. As the EuroQol (EQ-5D-5L) is a widely adopted PROMs tool and covers the first four domains listed, to reduce patient burden to a minimum the MSK-PROM was designed to capture the remaining six prioritised domains which are not measured by the EQ-5D-5L. The tool demonstrated excellent reliability, construct validity, responsiveness and acceptability to patients and clinicians for use in clinical practice. Conclusion We have validated a brief patient reported outcome measure (MSK-PROM) for use in clinical practice to measure musculoskeletal health status and monitor outcomes over time PLOS ONE |

BACKGROUND: Choosing measurement tools for diagnostic, prognostic, or evaluative purposes in a chronic musculoskeletal pain (CMP) population is challenging for rehabilitation practice. Implementation of measurement tools for clinical practice is impaired by gaps in knowledge about measurement properties. OBJECTIVE: Identifying evidence about the measurement properties of tools frequently used in Dutch pain rehabilitation practice. METHODS: A mapping review was conducted of eligible studies that investigated reliability, validity, or responsiveness, and interpretability, as defined by the COSMIN taxonomy, of original versions or Dutch translations of predefined Patient-Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs) in a CMP population. MEDLINE, PsycINFO, EMBASE, and CINAHL were searched in March 2021. Results were visually mapped. RESULTS: Thirty-five studies were included. The results show many knowledge gaps in both original and translated versions. In general, aspects of validity were most frequently reported. The Pain Disability Index, Pain Catastrophizing Scale, and the 12-Item Short Form Health Survey were the most studied measurement tools. No results were found for the Checklist Individual Strength, Illness Perception Questionnaire, and Utrecht Coping List. CONCLUSION: Little evidence of the measurement properties of PROMs used in rehabilitation of patients with CMP in the Netherlands was found. PROMs need to be used and interpreted with caution in daily practice.

In response for the need of a freely available, stand-alone, validated outcome measure for use within musculoskeletal (MSK) physiotherapy practice, sensitive enough to measure clinical effectiveness, we developed an MSK patient reported outcome measure. This study examined the validity and reliability of the newly developed Brighton musculoskeletal Patient-Reported Outcome Measure (BmPROM) within physiotherapy outpatient settings. Two hundred twenty-four patients attending physiotherapy outpatient departments in South East England with an MSK condition participated in this study. The BmPROM was assessed for user friendliness (rated feedback, N = 224), reliability (internal consistency and test-retest reliability, n = 42), validity (internal and external construct validity, N = 224), and responsiveness (internal, n = 25). Exploratory factor analysis indicated that a two-factor model provides a good fit to the data. Factors were representative of "Functionality" and "We...
Background: Musculoskeletal patient reported outcome (PRO) measures are essential to clinical practice as they determine the status of a patient's health. While such measures are meant to improve the delivery of evidence based medicine, the design process often overlooks their clinical relevance and utility. Discussion: The demand for greater efficiency through shorter, user friendly PRO measures is discussed. The aim is to reduce respondent, clinician and researcher burden while retaining precision instruments with validated psychometric properties. The reductive statistical methodology and techniques used to achieve these goals are highlighted. The general lack of important qualitative input from the clinician and patient in these processes is noted. This lack of input can be detrimental to the clinical practicality and cost efficiency of the final product. It may also raise problems of potential conflicts of interest. Four additional areas of practical concern with particular significance are outlined: questionnaire format, item number, time benefits and scoring methods. Summary: It is important that developers of new and modified musculoskeletal PRO measures ensure that their instruments, whilst maximising the psychometric properties and methodological characteristics, satisfy the requirements of patient and clinician practicality while emphasising the essential principles of evidence based medicine.

Musculoskeletal disorders (MSD's) are a constellation of disorders. There is no single tool available which guides the clinicians to predict the severity, intervention and recovery period of the patients who is suffering from different musculoskeletal disorder. In this paper authors tried to categorize the severity of the musculoskeletal discomfort and the prognosis of the recovery period. The questionnaire was formulated using different epidemiological risk factor of the development of MSD and the effect of MSD on physical and psychosocial factors. The questionnaire contains 13 questions which include seven direct (rating was 0, 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10) and six indirect (rating was 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5) questions. Results revealed a significant correlation with the prognosis of recovery and the actual recovery period (r= 0.80). It also showed a significant correlation between the total severity score and the actual recovery (r=0.82) period. Depending on the prognosis of the recovery t...
Determinants of Patient Satisfaction After Severe Lower-Extremity Injuries
J Bone Joint Surg Amer Vol, 2008
Background: In health care, increased emphasis has been placed on patient-centered care, but to our knowledge little work has been conducted to understand the influences on patient satisfaction after surgery for the treatment of severe lower-extremity injury. Our purpose was to analyze how the patient's satisfaction with the outcome correlates with other measures of outcome (clinical, functional, physical impairment, psychological impairment, and pain) and with the sociodemographic characteristics of the patient, the nature of the injury, and the treatment decisions.
Title: Indicators of injury recovery identified by patients, family members and clinicians
Introduction: A focus on what is important to patients has been recognized as an essential pillar in care to ensure safe patient care that focuses on outcomes identified as important by patients. Despite this, asking trauma patients and their families what they consider should be the priorities of care and recovery has been neglected. Methods: Adult trauma patients admitted to two centers in Australia for ≥24 hours for the treatment of physical injury, and family members of injured patients and clinicians caring for injured patients were invited to participate. Individual interviews were conducted with the patient and family members prior to hospital discharge, and again one and three months post discharge. Individual interviews or focus groups were conducted with clinicians at one point in time. Content analysis of all transcripts was undertaken to determine the indicators of successful recovery over time. Results: Participants in the three stakeholder groups were enrolled (patients – 33; family members – 22; clinicians – 95). Indicators of recovery focused on five main categories including returning to work, resuming family roles, achieving independence, recapturing normality and achieving comfort. Other categories that were less frequently identified included maintaining one’s household, restoring emotional stability, cosmetic considerations and appearance, realignment of life goals, psychological recovery and development of self. Indicators of recovery after physical injury were similar across the three stakeholder groups, although with greater detail identified by patients. In addition, indicators evolved over time with increasing recognition of the importance of the overall impact of the injury in general and on activities of daily living and an unfolding appreciation that life could not be taken for granted. Conclusions: Description of the indicators of recovery after traumatic injury that matter to patients, family members and clinicians enable an understanding of similarities and differences. Further testing in a broader cohort of participants is essential to identify patient reported outcome measures that might be used in trauma care and associated research.

Objective: The Patient-Specific Functional Scale (PSFS) and the Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) are two measures which the Accident Compensation Corporation (ACC) of New Zealand have made compulsory for physiotherapists to record at a patients initial visit and discharge. Therefore, it is important to assess clinicians' compliance to this reporting requirement, and whether research results regarding effectiveness of these measures are transferable to the clinic. Method: A retrospective observational study that assessed compliance in recording these measures, and analyzed the changes in scores seen across 11 physiotherapy practices in New Zealand over a 12-month period.

In this cross-sectional study the psychometric properties are examined of the adapted Dutch translation of the Short Musculoskeletal Function Assessment (SMFA) questionnaire in severely injured patients (ISS>15). Patients (N=173) completed the SMFA, the World Health Organization Quality of Life assessment instrument-BREF (WHOQOL-BREF), the Dutch Impact of Event Scale (IES), the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) and the Cognitive Failure Questionnaire (CFQ). The Abbreviated Injury Score and the Injury Severity Score were established to determine the injured body area and the severity of the injuries. Exploratory factor analysis (method: PAF) was performed. Correlations were calculated between our SMFA factors and scores on the WHOQOL-BREF, IES, HADS and CFQ. The SMFA scores of the factors Upper extremity dysfunction and Lower extremity dysfunction were compared between subgroups of patients with and without injuries in respectively the upper extremities and the lower ex...
