Item rankings were similar for both criteria. In addition, there are Pain Interference 4a, 6a, and 8a short forms, where items were selected based on rankings using two psychometric criteria: (1) maximum interval information and (2) CAT simulations. Psychometric properties and clinical input were both used and likely varied in importance across domains.

The original short forms are 6-10 items long. Domain experts reviewed short forms to give input on the relevance of each item. The original short form (6b) was constructed by the domain team with a focus on representing the range of the trait and also representing the content of the item bank. The PROMIS Adult Short Form v1.0 – Pain Interference 6b has been created as an independent instrument on this CDE website due to its unique question content. PROMIS Parent Proxy Short Form v1.0 – Pain Interference 8a PROMIS Pediatric Short Form v1.0 – Pain Interference 8a PROMIS Adult Short Form v1.0 – Pain Interference 8a PROMIS Adult Short Form v1.0 – Pain Interference 6a PROMIS Adult Short Form v1.0 – Pain Interference 4a PROMIS Adult Short Form v1.0 – Pain Interference 6b PROMIS Pediatric Pain Interference instruments are available for adults (ages 18+), for children (ages 8-17) and parent proxy serving as proxy reporters for their child (youth ages 5-17).Ī brief overview to the PROMIS Pain Interference instruments: The Pain Interference items utilize a 7–day recall period (items include the phrase 'the past 7 days'). The Pain Interference short form is universal rather than disease-specific. Pain Interference also incorporates items probing sleep and enjoyment in life, though the item bank only contains one sleep item. The PROMIS(r) Pain Interference instruments (adult and child) measure the self-reported consequences of pain on relevant aspects of a person’s life and may include the extent to which pain hinders engagement with social, cognitive, emotional, physical, and recreational activities.
