2 WHO Development ICF Domains of pain & mobility/dexterity Participation Capacity Performance Patient satisfaction ICF Impairment Kinematics Clinical (AKS) Activities Self reported (with or without emphasis) Distinguishing functional tests Pain

3 Use of PROMs Research Clinical practice Audit Longitudinal change in status effect of treatment monitoring communication Snapshot effect of treatment diagnostic/predictive shared decision making communication

4 Pathway

5 PROMS: Contemporary usage? Haves and Have Nots Individual decision making!

6 Extended Remit Not Validated Healthcare policy (threshold for intervention) Not Validated Decision making for individuals Not Validated Measurement of individual Validated Use Listed TKR population

7 Methodology Tailored to the intended use of PROM Patient engagement/ self management Communication tool Diagnostic tool Predictive tool Monitoring Effect of treatment

8 What aspects of validity for individual patient decision making 1? Random error Systematic error Reliability: stability over time when no change in true status PROM TIME

9 What aspects of validity for individual patient decision making? Clinically meaningful change What is clinically meaningful? PROM TIME

10 What aspects of validity for individual patient decision making 3? Choice of threshold/decision criteria True change in status over time when to measure how to interpret PROM TIME

12 PROBLEMS AHEAD! PROMS policy

13 HTA Call 2012 Introducing Standardised and Evidence based Thresholds for Hip and Knee Replacement Surgery The Arthroplasty Candidacy Help Engine (The ACHE tool) General Medicine and Sub-specialty

14 Research questions: Can clinical tools for assessment of a patient s suitability for knee or hip replacement be used to set thresholds for operation? How does the choice of threshold affect the cost effectiveness of the procedure and subsequent improvements in patient quality of life?

20 Work Package 1 CREATE A SHORTLIST OF SCORING SYSTEMS POTENTIALLY USEFUL FOR SELECTING CANDIDATES FOR ARTHROPLASTY SURGERY 1.1 Use published literature to identify existing scoring systems and assess evidence concerning their suitability, measurement properties and feasibility. 1.2 Use existing datasets to calculate the measurement properties of those potential candidate tools not previously evaluated.

22 Measurement properties The COSMIN checklist for assessing the methodological quality of studies on measurement properties of health status measurement instruments: an international Delphi study Mokkink LB, Terwee CB, Patrick DL, Alonso J, Stratford PW, Knol DL, Bouter LM, de Vet HC - Qual Life Res (2010)

24 Validity Reliability The degree to which a PROM measures the construct it purports to measure The degree to which the measurement is free from measurement error Responsiveness The ability of a PROM to detect change over time in the construct to be measured

25 Easy to use Valid, reliable and responsive Interpretation Is a drop of 3 points clinically important? Is an improvement of 5 points worthwhile?

26 Classical test theory (CTT)

28 What about clinical relevance? Great news! The change in your knee score is beyond MDC 90 I don t want to live on this planet anymore

29 Method Anchor Based Overall, how are your <hip/knee> problems now, compared to before your operation? Much better A little better About the same A little worse Much worse MIC Minimal Important Change Single group, mean change score from baseline = little better Meaningful changes for the Oxford hip and knee scores after joint replacement surgery. Beard DJ, Harris, KK et al. Journal of Clinical Epidemiology. Available online 31 October 2014, ISSN ,

30 Use MDC (as a lower bound of meaningful change) and MIC as a reference points to help interpret score changes Change NOT above measurement error and NOT important Change above measurement error, but NOT important Change above measurement error and important no change MDC MIC maximum change

47 What is a construct? In psychology, non-observable variables are called constructs (or latent variables). Examples would be a person's motivation, anger, personality, intelligence, love, attachment, or fear. Constructs can be observed indirectly by measuring observable indicators or items/responses on questionnaires (or response variables ), that are related to the construct. Usually, multiple items are used to measure a construct of interest.

48 What are measurement properties? The measurement properties of a PROM relate to the data that has been collected, to determine how well it measures the construct of interest. In order to develop a good PROM, the new test is subjected to statistical analyses to ensure that it has good measurement properties.
