New Consumer-Centered Score Measures Health-Related Quality-Of-Life In Consumers With Kidney Failure

A new consumer-centered scoring method assesses health-related quality of life among consumers with kidney failure. The score is called the “Patient Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS®)-Preference (PROPr) Summary Score.” PROPr is based on seven assessment domains: cognitive function, depression, fatigue, pain interference, physical functioning, sleep disturbance, and ability to participate in social roles. The PROPr scores were well correlated with scores on the Short form 6-domain (SF-6D) and EuroQol 5-domain 5-level (EQ-5D-5L). Both PROPr and the other scores demonstrated health condition impact in the expected direction.
