Psychometric properties of self-reported measures of health-related quality of life in people living with HIV: a systematic review.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To identify and assess the psychometric properties of patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) of health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in people living with HIV (PLWH).

Methods

Nine databases were searched from January 1996 to October 2020. Methodological quality was assessed by using the Consensus-based Standards for the Selection of Health Measurement Instruments (COSMIN) Risk of Bias Checklist. We used the COSMIN criteria to summarize and rate the psychometric properties of each PROM. A modified Grading, Recommendations, Assessment, Development, and Evaluation (GRADE) system was used to assess the certainty of evidence.

Results

Sixty-nine studies reported on the psychometric properties of 30 identified instruments. All studies were considered to have a
