Pediatric Outcomes Data Collection Instrument is a Useful Patient-Reported Outcome Measure for Physical Function in Children with Osteogenesis Imperfecta.

ABSTRACT: PURPOSE:Patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) are increasingly recognized as valuable endpoints in clinical trials. The Pediatric Outcomes Data Collection Instrument (PODCI) is a PROM utilized in children with musculoskeletal disorders. We evaluated the validity and reliability of PODCI in children with osteogenesis imperfecta (OI). METHODS:Physical functioning and psychological well-being were assessed using PODCI in a large cohort of children enrolled in a multicenter study conducted by the Brittle Bone Disorders Consortium. Physical function scores were correlated with a validated, observer-rated scale, Brief Assessment of Motor Function (BAMF), and with psychological well-being scores. We calculated sample sizes required to detect clinically meaningful differences in physical function. RESULTS:Four hundred seventeen children with OI types I, III, and IV were enrolled. Physical function scores in OI type III were significantly lower than those in OI types I and IV. There were no significant differences in psychological well-being. PODCI physical function scores showed moderate-to-strong correlation with BAMF. The Global Functioning Scale, a composite of physical function, did not consistently correlate with psychological well-being. CONCLUSION:PODCI can be a reliable measure of physical functioning in children with OI and offers valuable information about patient-reported health status and new ways to examine the utility of interventions in this population.

Project description:BackgroundOsteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is a rare congenital disorder of the skeletal system, inflicting debilitating physical and psychological distress on patients and caregivers. Over the decades, much effort has been channeled towards understanding molecular mechanisms and developing new treatments. It has recently become more apparent that patient-reported outcome measurements (PROM) during treatment, healing and rehabilitation are helpful in facilitating smoother communication, refining intervention strategies and achieving higher quality of life. To date, systematic analyses of PROM in OI patients remain scarce.ResultsHere, utilizing a PROM Information System, we report a cross-sectional and longitudinal study in a southern Chinese cohort of 90 OI patients, covering both the child and adult age-groups. In the child group where both self and parental surveys were obtained, we identified two clusters of comparable sizes showing different outlooks in physical mobility and emotional experiences. One cluster (Cluster 1) is more negative about themselves than the other (Cluster 2). A concordance of 84.7% between self and parental assessments was recorded, suggesting the stability and validity of PROM-based stratification. Clinical subtyping, deformity, leg length discrepancy, and limited joint mobility were significantly associated with this stratification, with Cluster 1 showing higher percentages of severe phenotypes than Cluster 2. Since OI is a genetic disorder, we performed genetic testing on 72 of the 90 patients, but found no obvious association between genotypes and the PROM stratification. Analyses of longitudinal data suggested that patients tended to stay in the same psychological state, in both clusters. Adult patients also showed a continuous spectrum of self-evaluation that matches their clinical manifestations.ConclusionBy systematically analyzing patient-reported outcomes, our study demonstrated the link between the sociopsychological wellbeing of OI patients, and their clinical manifestations, which may serve as the basis for evaluating clinical interventions and help achieve better patient-centric medical practices. The lack of genotype-PROM association may be due to the diverse mutational spectrum in OI, which warrants further investigation when a larger sample size is available.

Project description:Background and objectivesFatigue is a very common and debilitating symptom and identified by patients as a critically important core outcome to be included in all trials involving patients receiving hemodialysis. A valid, standardized measure for fatigue is needed to yield meaningful and relevant evidence about this outcome. This study validated a core patient-reported outcome measure for fatigue in hemodialysis.Design, setting, participants, & measurementsA longitudinal cohort study was conducted to assess the validity and reliability of a new fatigue measure (Standardized Outcomes in Nephrology-Hemodialysis Fatigue [SONG-HD Fatigue]). Eligible and consenting patients completed the measure at three time points: baseline, a week later, and 12 days following the second time point. Cronbach α and intraclass correlation coefficient were calculated to assess internal consistency, and Spearman rho was used to assess convergent validity. Confirmatory factor analysis was also conducted. Hemodialysis units in the United Kingdom, Australia, and Romania participated in this study. Adult patients aged 18 years and over who were English speaking and receiving maintenance hemodialysis were eligible to participate. Standardized Outcomes in Nephrology-Hemodialysis, the Visual Analog Scale for fatigue, the 12-Item Short Form Survey, and Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy-Fatigue were used.ResultsIn total, 485 participants completed the study across the United Kingdom, Australia, and Romania. Psychometric assessment demonstrated that Standardized Outcomes in Nephrology-Hemodialysis is internally consistent (Cronbach α =0.81-0.86) and stable over a 1-week period (intraclass correlation coefficient =0.68-0.74). The measure demonstrated convergence with Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy-Fatigue and had moderate correlations with other measures that assessed related but not the same concept (the 12-Item Short Form Survey and the Visual Analog Scale). Confirmatory factor analysis supported the one-factor model.ConclusionsSONG-HD Fatigue seems to be a reliable and valid measure to be used in trials involving patients receiving hemodialysis.
