Patient‐reported outcome measures within pediatric solid organ transplantation: A systematic review
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Subjective evaluation of medical care and disease outcomes from patients' perspectives has become increasingly important. Patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) play a prominent role in engaging patients, capturing their experiences and improving patient care. This systematic review sought to identify PROMs that are used in the field of pediatric solid organ transplantation, with the aim to inform the implementation of PROMs into clinical practice for this population. A systematic review of English language, peer-reviewed articles was performed on key health science databases to identify publications using PROMs in pediatric solid organ transplantation. The search yielded 3670 articles, with a final data set of 62 articles that included 47 different PROMs. The three most frequently used PROMs included the following: (a) PedsQL™ Generic Core Scales (n = 25); (b) Children's Depression Inventory (n = 6); and (c) Child Health Questionnaire (n = 6). Of the 47 PROMs, 42 were generic and five were disease-specific; only six PROMS had a documented psychometric evaluation within a pediatric solid organ transplant population. This review outlines the attributes of the instruments (eg, domains captured), as well as the psychometric properties of those evaluated. PROMs are increasingly used in the field of pediatric transplantation; however, there are limited details in the current literature about their conceptual underpinnings and psychometric properties. This review highlights the need for additional psychometric evaluation of identified measures to establish the necessary foundation to inform the implementation of PROMs into clinical care for pediatric solid organ transplant patients.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; both teacher heads agree on what is shown here.
