Purpose: Health care is transitioning to value-based care, using patient-reported outcomes (PROs) as an indicator of care quality, affecting hospital ratings as well as reimbursement. The brief Michigan Hand Questionnaire (bMHQ) is a validated and widely used questionnaire; it assesses function, efficacy, and pain in patients with upper extremity illness. The Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) instruments include measures of overall physical and mental health, as well as disease-specific measures, and are increasingly used. However, the correlation between PROMIS questionnaires and the bMHQ have not been investigated to validate the use of PROMIS in patients with upper extremity illness. We analyzed the relationship between the PROMIS Global Mental Health (GMH), Global Physical Health (GPH), Upper Extremity (UE), Pain Interference (PI), Self-Efficacy for Managing Chronic Conditions (SE) and bMHQ questionnaires in 5 common hand conditions: carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS), Dupuytren’s contracture, trigger finger (TF), thumb carpometacarpal (CMC) osteoarthritis (OA), and wrist ganglion cysts.
