Brief summary

The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of providing PROMIS Profile Scale scores (e.g., sleep, pain, anxiety, depression, energy/fatigue) to physicians on patients' symptoms.

Detailed description

The SPADE symptoms (sleep, pain, anxiety, depression, and energy/fatigue) are the most common yet undertreated symptoms in clinical practice. Using the PROMIS (Patient-Reported Outcome Measurement Information System) Profile Scales as a measure of SPADE symptoms, this study will determine the effectiveness of providing patient symptom scores to clinicians, identify barriers and facilitators to the clinical use of such scores, and evaluate the psychometric properties of the PROMIS Profile Scales in a primary care population.

Interventions

The intervention will consist of feedback provided to clinicians in the form of patients' baseline PROMIS scores

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Change From Baseline in PROMIS Composite T-Score at 3-Month Follow-upbaseline and 3 month follow upThe 20-item PROMIS questionnaire (composed of 4-item scales for each of the 5 SPADE symptoms) was administered to participants at baseline and at 3 month follow up. PROMIS assesses the extent to which patients experience problems with SPADE symptoms over the past 7 days using a 5-point Likert scale. Higher scores reflect greater symptom severity. To assess the effects of feedback on SPADE symptom improvement, group differences in the change in PROMIS composite T-scores from baseline to 3 month follow up (baseline PROMIS T-score - 3 month PROMIS T-score) were calculated. Positive change scores are indicative of symptom improvement.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Change From Baseline in PROMIS Sleep T-score at 3-Month Follow upbaseline and 3 month follow upThe 4-item PROMIS subscale for sleep was administered to participants at baseline and at 3 month follow up. The sleep subscale measures the extent to which patients experience problems with sleep over the past 7 days using a 5-point Likert scale. Higher scores reflect more severe sleep problems. To assess the effects of feedback on sleep, group differences in the change in PROMIS sleep T-scores from baseline to 3 month follow up (baseline PROMIS sleep T-score - 3 month PROMIS sleep T-score) were calculated. Positive change scores are indicative of improvement in sleep.

Positive change scores are indicative of improvement in anxiety.
Change From Baseline in PROMIS Depression T-score at 3-Month Follow upbaseline and 3 month follow upThe 4-item PROMIS subscale for depression was administered to participants at baseline and at 3 month follow up. The depression subscale measures the extent to which patients experience depressive symptoms over the past 7 days using a 5-point Likert scale. Higher scores reflect greater depression. To assess the effects of feedback on depression, group differences in the change in PROMIS depression T-scores from baseline to 3-month follow up (baseline PROMIS depression T-score - 3 month PROMIS depression T-score) were calculated. Positive change scores are indicative of improvement in depression.
Change From Baseline in PROMIS Fatigue T-score at 3-Month Follow upbaseline and 3 month follow upThe 4-item PROMIS subscale for fatigue was administered to participants at baseline and at 3 month follow up. The fatigue subscale measures the extent to which patients experience problems with fatigue over the past 7 days using a 5-point Likert scale. Higher scores reflect greater fatigue. To assess the effects of feedback on fatigue, group differences in the change in PROMIS fatigue T-scores from baseline to 3-month follow up (baseline PROMIS fatigue T-score - 3 month PROMIS fatigue T-score) were calculated. Positive change scores are indicative of improvement in fatigue.
Treatment Satisfaction at 3-Month Follow-up3 month follow-upAt 3-month follow-up, treatment satisfaction was assessed. This 1-item measure assesses patients' satisfaction with the care of their symptoms overall on a 5-point Likert scale ranging from excellent to poor. Higher scores indicate poorer satisfaction.
Sleep at 3-month Follow up, as Measured by the Pittsburgh Insomnia Rating Scale (PIRS-2)3-month follow-upFor this secondary outcome, data were collected from the group as a whole without regard to randomization. Thus, data is analyzed for the group as a whole rather than separately for each arm. At 3-month follow up, sleep was assessed using the 2-item Pittsburgh Insomnia Rating Scale (PIRS-2). PIRS-2 measures quality and satisfaction with sleep over the past week. Possible scores range from 0 to 6, with higher scores reflecting poorer sleep.
Percentage of Participants With Tests Ordered (Other Than Radiologic and Laboratory Tests) for SPADE Symptoms at Baseline Clinic VisitbaselineElectronic medical records were reviewed to determine the number of tests ordered, other than radiologic or laboratory tests (e.g., sleep study), for SPADE symptoms at the baseline clinic visit. The percentage of participants in each group with 0 or 1≤ tests ordered for SPADE symptoms at baseline was calculated.
Anxiety at 3 Month Follow up, as Measured by the Generalized Anxiety Disorder Scale (GAD-2)3 month follow upFor this secondary outcome, data were collected from the group as a whole without regard to randomization. Thus, data is analyzed for the group as a whole rather than separately for each arm. At 3-month follow up, anxiety was assessed using the 2-item Generalized Anxiety Disorder scale (GAD-2). GAD-2 measures the frequency of anxiety symptoms over the past 2 weeks. Possible scores range from 0 to 6, with higher scores reflecting more severe anxiety.
Depression at 3-month Follow up, as Measured by the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-2)3 month follow upFor this secondary outcome, data were collected from the group as a whole without regard to randomization.

Change From Baseline in PROMIS Composite T-Score at 3-Month Follow-up

The 20-item PROMIS questionnaire (composed of 4-item scales for each of the 5 SPADE symptoms) was administered to participants at baseline and at 3 month follow up. PROMIS assesses the extent to which patients experience problems with SPADE symptoms over the past 7 days using a 5-point Likert scale. Higher scores reflect greater symptom severity. To assess the effects of feedback on SPADE symptom improvement, group differences in the change in PROMIS composite T-scores from baseline to 3 month follow up (baseline PROMIS T-score - 3 month PROMIS T-score) were calculated. Positive change scores are indicative of symptom improvement.
