“…Participants in Study 1 in particular were overwhelmingly White and non-Hispanic. This sample was comprised only of individuals receiving spine surgery, which tends to be more common among White individuals, although demographic data are lacking [46][47][48] .…”

Despite the marked increase Ecological Momentary Assessment (EMA) research, few reliable and valid measures of momentary experiences have been established. The goal of this preregistered study was to establish the reliability, validity, and predictive utility of the momentary Pain Catastrophizing Scale (mPCS), a 3-item measure developed to assess state pain catastrophizing. Participants in two studies of postsurgical pain outcomes completed the mPCS three to five times per day prior to surgery (N = 496, T = 20,385 total assessments). The mPCS showed good psychometric properties, including multilevel reliability and factor invariance across time. Participant-level average mPCS was strongly positively correlated with trait pain catastrophizing (r = .55 and .69 in Study 1 and Study 2, respectively) and related constructs. Using dynamic structural equation modeling, we then examined whether this dynamic measure improved prediction of postsurgical pain outcomes above and beyond one-time assessment of trait pain catastrophizing. Indeed, greater average mPCS scores (β = 0.30, p = .01) and greater variability in momentary pain catastrophizing (β = 0.34, p < .01) prior to surgery were associated with increased pain immediately after surgery, after controlling for trait pain catastrophizing. Greater average mPCS score prior to surgery was also a small but significant predictor of lesser day-to-day improvement in postsurgical pain (β = 0.27, p = .02), whereas trait pain catastrophizing was not. These results show that the mPCS is a reliable and valid tool for EMA research and highlight its potential utility over and above trait measures of pain catastrophizing.

“…31 Similar data have been demonstrated in the randomized controlled trials published in orthopaedic subspecialty journals. 32 A follow-up study evaluating the linguistic and cultural diversity of the patients included in randomized controlled orthopaedic trials demonstrated that only 14% of studies reported participant language ( unpublished data ). Furthermore, this investigation noted that only 7% of studies used translated PROMs and 2% used culturally adapted PROMs.…”

Patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) provide a standardized assessment from the patient about their own health status. Although originally developed as research tools, PROMs can be used in clinical care to complement objective functional measures (eg, range of motion) and are increasingly integrated to guide treatment decisions and predict outcomes. In some situations, when PROMs are used during clinical care they can improve patient mortality, outcomes, engagement, well-being, and patient-physician communication. Guidance on how PROMs should be communicated with patients continued to be developed. However, PROM use may have unintended consequences, such as when used implemented without accounting for confounding factors (eg, psychological and social health) or in perpetuating healthcare disparities when used imprecisely (eg, lack of linguistic or cultural validation). In this review, we describe the current state of PROM use in orthopaedic surgery, highlight opportunities and challenges of PROM use in clinical care, and provide a roadmap to support orthopaedic surgery practices in incorporating PROMs into routine care to equitably improve patient health.
