Purpose: Patient-reported outcomes are important to assess effectiveness of clinical interventions. For orthopaedic trauma patients, the short Musculoskeletal Function Assessment (sMFA) is a commonly used questionnaire. Recently, Patient-Reported Outcome Measurement Information System (PROMIS) PF Computer Adaptive Test (PF CAT) was developed using item response theory efficiently administer questions from calibrated bank 124 computerized adaptive testing. In this study, we compared sMFA...

Abstract Purpose/Objectives The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19) pandemic arguably represents the worst public health crisis of 21 st century. However, no empirical study currently exists in literature that examines impact COVID‐19 on dental education. This evaluated education and students’ experience. Methods An anonymous online survey was administrated to professional students focused their experiences related COVID‐19. included questions about student demographics, protocols for school...

As new Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) instruments are incorporated into clinical practice, determining how large a change on these represents clinically relevant difference is important; the metric that describes this minimum important (MCID). Prior research MCIDs of Neck Disability Index (NDI) and Oswestry (ODI) has produced values ranging from 5 to 10 points, but measures have not been presented in relation MCID PROMIS instruments.To establish...

To establish minimum clinically important difference (MCID) for measurements in an orthopaedic patient population with joint disorders.Adult patients aged 18 years and older seeking care conditions at clinic took the Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System Physical Function (PROMIS® PF) computerized adaptive test (CAT), hip disability osteoarthritis outcome score reconstruction (HOOS JR), knee injury (KOOS JR) from February 2014 to April 2017. MCIDs were calculated using...

Objective: In light of COVID-19, leaders issued stay-at-home orders, including closure higher-education schools. Most students left campus, likely impacting their employment and social network. Leaders are making decisions about opening universities modality instruction. Understanding students' psychological, physiological, academic, financial responses to the shut-down reopening campuses can help make informed decisions. Participants: 654 from a large western university enrolled during...

Multivariate analyses assessed gender behaviors genders after controlling sample demographic characteristics.The final consisted of 4,741 participants. Males tended have fewer dental visits, worse perception gum tooth...

Cellular senescence has emerged as one of the central hallmarks aging and drivers chronic comorbidities, including periodontal diseases. Senescence can also occur in younger tissues instigate metabolic alterations dysfunction, culminating accelerated pathological consequences. Senotherapeutics, such combination dasatinib quercetin (DQ), are being increasingly used to improve clinical outcomes disorders promote a healthy life span through reduction senescent cell burden senescence-associated...

In 2012, the American Orthopaedic Foot & Ankle Society(®) established a national network for collecting and sharing data on treatment outcomes improving patient care. One of network's initiatives is to explore use computerized adaptive tests (CATs) patient-level outcome reporting.We determined whether CAT from NIH Patient Reported Outcome Measurement Information System(®) (PROMIS(®)) Physical Function (PF) item bank provides efficient, reliable, valid, precise, adequately covered point...

Abstract The patient‐reported outcomes measurement information system (PROMIS) physical function item bank v1 (PPFIB) contains 124 response theory (IRT) calibrated items (Rose et al. 2008. J Clin Epidemiol 61:17–33). We report the psychometric properties of these within an outpatient, orthopaedic patient population. In particular, we investigated whether a single unidimensional IRT scale can adequately define patients presenting with primarily upper or lower extremity complaints. conducted...

Patient-reported outcomes provide vital information when assessing effectiveness of clinical care. Yet, most patient-reported outcome instruments are limited by lack validation and reliability to measure PF adequately. As part the Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS), a item bank consisting 124 items has been developed.There is evidence for PROMIS in general orthopedic patient population general, but yet be validated with spinal disorders. This study aims...

The Oswestry Disability Index v2.0 (ODI), SF36 Physical Function Domain (SF-36 PFD), and PROMIS CAT v1.2 (PF CAT) questionnaires were prospectively collected from 1607 patients complaining of back or leg pain, visiting a university-based spine clinic. All electronically, using tablet computer.The aim this study was to compare the psychometric properties PF with ODI in same patient population.Evidence-based decision-making is improved by high-quality patient-reported outcomes measures. Prior...

Abstract Objective This study sought to utilise machine learning methods in artificial intelligence select the most relevant variables classifying presence and absence of root caries evaluate model performance. Background Dental is one prevalent oral health problems. Artificial can be used develop models for identification risk gain valuable insights, but it has not been applied dentistry. Accurately identifying may guide treatment decisions, leading better outcomes. Methods Data were...

Selecting optimal patient-reported outcome (PRO) instruments is critical to improving the quality of health care. The purpose this study was compare reliability, responsiveness, and efficiency three PRO measures: Foot Ankle Ability Measure-Activity Daily Living subscale (FAAM_ADL), Function Index 5-point verbal rating scale (FFI-5pt), PROMIS Physical computerized adaptive test (PF CAT).Data were aggregated from 10 clinical sites in AOFAS's National Orthopaedic Research (OFAR) Network 311...

This study examined factors contributing to achievement gaps between White and African American students in 2,868 diverse school districts across the United States. Using pooled data five years (2008-2013), six grade levels (grades third eighth, which typically include aged 8 years-14 years) two different subjects (math English language), descriptive, correlational, multiple linear regressions were used identify relevant predicting an gap. Achievement largest south southwest In addition,...

The Press Ganey® Medical Practice Survey ("Press survey") is a patient-reported questionnaire commonly used to measure patient satisfaction with outpatient health care in the United States. Our objective was evaluate reliability and validity of survey single institution setting. We analyzed surveys from 34,503 unique respondents seen by 624 providers 47 specialties 94 clinics at University Utah 2013. system that provides primary through tertiary for over 200 medical specialties. Surveys were...

Establishing score points that reflect meaningful change from the patient perspective is important for interpreting patient-reported outcomes. This study estimated minimum clinically difference (MCID) values of 2 Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) instruments and Foot Ankle Ability Measure (FAAM) Sports subscale within a foot ankle orthopedic population.Patients seen conditions at an clinic were administered PROMIS Physical Function (PF) v1.2, Pain Interference...

Previous literature demonstrates that as a result of racial microaggressions and hostile campus climates, Latina/o students often state they experience psychological, physiological, behavioral stress responses during after racialized incidents on campuses. The purpose this study is to quantitatively test the battle fatigue framework for using structural equation modeling. Findings suggest psychological Latinas/os are most impacted by in framework.
