Patient-Reported Outcome Linking Relationships for Anxiety and Depression

PROsetta Stone Wave 1 contains linking relationships between PROMIS measures and legacy instruments. The dataset, created by David Cella, aims to expand PRO assessment options within a common metric for future comparative effectiveness research. It links PROMIS Anxiety, Depression, Fatigue, Global, and Profile measures with instruments like the BDI, HADS, PANAS, NeuroQOL Fatigue, and Vitality scale.

Use Cases

• Establish cross-walks between PROMIS Anxiety scores and BDI or HADS scores for legacy data harmonization.
• Link PROMIS Fatigue measures to NeuroQOL Fatigue and Vitality scale scores to enable pooled analyses across studies.
• Use linking relationships for PROMIS Depression and Global measures to aid interpretation in comparative effectiveness research.
• Apply established links for the PROMIS Profile measure to convert results from legacy instruments into a standardized metric.

Strengths

• Created by a recognized expert, David Cella, in patient-reported outcomes.
• Focuses on linking five core PROMIS domains (Anxiety, Depression, Fatigue, Global, Profile) to multiple legacy instruments.
• Hosted within the authoritative HealthMeasures Dataverse repository.

Limitations

• The dataset's size, specific row count, and column structure are unknown.
• No sample data or file formats are provided for immediate inspection.
• The description is methodological; the actual linked data values or calibration samples are not described.
