188 Patient-reported outcome measures for health-related quality of life in acne vulgaris: A systematic review of measure development and measurement properties

Abstract

While multiple patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) for health-related quality of life exist for patients with acne vulgaris, little is known about the validity of the development and measurement properties of these PROMs. A systematic review was conducted following the Consensus-based Standards for the selection of health Measurement Instruments (COSMIN) framework. Data were extracted on PROM properties (target population, domains measured, recall period, development language, number of items), COSMIN-based development and pilot study grading, content validity score (relevance, comprehensiveness, comprehensibility, overall), and measurement properties (structural validity, internal consistency, reliability, construct validity, responsiveness, measurement error, and responsiveness).
