Clinical Utility of Patient-Reported Outcome Measurement Information System Domain Scales Thresholds for Determining Important Change After Stroke

摘要

BACKGROUND: Patient-reported outcome measures are increasingly being utilized in clinical care and research to evaluate outcomes following stroke. To optimize the clinical utility of these measures, we aimed to quantify meaningful change by establishing minimal important differences (MIDs), or responder definitions, for 4 domains affected in ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke patients.METHODS AND RESULTS: We performed a retrospective cohort study of stroke patients seen in the Cleveland Clinic cerebrovascular center between September 2, 2012 and November 7, 2017. Four Patient-Reported Outcome Measurement Information System (PROMIS) scales were completed within 1 month poststroke and again at 6 months.
