| DESCRIPTION OF THE INSTRUMENT | |
| Type Of Measure | Scale |
| Brief Description |
PROMIS-GI (Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System - Gastrointestinal) symptom scales cover the following eight domains: belly pain, bowel incontinence, constipation, diarrhea, disrupted swallowing, gas and bloating, gastroesophageal reflux, and nausea and vomiting. The self-reported scales evaluate patient symptoms over the past 7 days. The scales can evaluate and monitor common GI symptoms in clinical care and research across the full range of GI disorders. |
| Number of Items | 61 |
| Range | 1 to 5 (or 4) for each item |
| Responses options/scale |
No |
| Developed for | Clinical practice, Research |
| PRACTICAL APPLICATION | |
| Method of administration | Self-administered |
| Recommendations to score |
Each scale is scored separately. The summed score for each scale, except for the bowel incontinence scale, is converted to a T-score, which is normed to a score of 50 with an SD of 10 in the general population. The bowel incontinence scale is scored by summing the items, with a total score ranging from 4 to 20, and there is no T-score. This method of scoring uses responses to each item for each participant (response pattern scoring). |
| Score Interpretation | A higher T-score means more GI symptoms. |
| Cut-off points | On the T-scores measures, a score of 60 is one SD higher than the mean of the reference population. |
| Cut-off points applied to | --- |
| Smallest detectable change if described | --- |
| Smallest detectable change applied to | --- |
| Completion time by the patient | - minutes |
| Scoring time by the assessor | - minutes |
| Training to score | Not necessary |
| Strengths | Useful in clinical practice & research |
| Limitations | Lengthy |
| OTHER COMMENTS | |
| Other Comments |
PROMIS-GI has shown convergent and discriminant validity in the SSc population. The eight scales can be used together or individually for clinical practice and clinical research in a disease-agnostic manner. The scales are broadly applicable across populations, GI symptoms, GI diseases, and demographics. |
