Validating Patient-Reported Outcomes and Surveys in Other Languages
摘要
We aim to summarize the validation of patient reported outcome measures (PROMs) used in orthopaedic conditions, particularly for non-English languages. We also identify completed translations and areas of ongoing need to support the expansion and broader adoption of PROMs in orthopaedic surgery.
Recent FindingsRecent translations and cross-cultural adaptations of PROMs used in orthopaedic surgery continue to employ robust methods for validation. Many PROMs have undergone extensive translations since their initial development. There has also been a large volume of recent work to translate PROMs used in orthopaedic surgery, with more than 45 studies.
SummaryWhile some PROMs are available in a wide range of different languages, some PROMs have undergone fewer translations. Additionally, while there has been ongoing work to translate tools and surveys used in orthopaedic surgery, a small proportion of these translated PROMs reflect that of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons-preferred list of PROMs.
