PROMIS-10
Clinical intent
As part of the Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) created in 2004, The PROMIS Global-10 is a publically available global health assessment tool that allows measurements of symptoms, functioning, and healthcare-related quality of life (HRQoL) for a wide variety of chronic diseases and conditions. [1]
The PROMIS Global-10 short form consists of 10 items that assess general domains of health and functioning including overall physical health, mental health, social health, pain, fatigue, and overall perceived quality of life. The 10 questions of the Global-10 have largely been adapted from other frequently used “legacy” measures such as the SF-36 and EQ-5D. But rather than hitting ‘copy/paste’, the developers of this tool extensively reviewed each of the legacy tool questions, and made modifications that resulted in greater sensitivity and precision than the questions as originally worded.
