目的测量儿童和成人健康相关生活质量（HRQOL）的研究以及跟踪儿童到成年的纵向研究需要可以在这些年龄组之间进行比较的测量。本研究使用来自不同健康状况和残疾参与者的数据，将PROMIS儿童和成人情绪困扰测量联系起来。方法对两个不同样品进行分析比较，确认结果的稳定性。一个样本（n= 874）包括14-20岁有特殊卫生保健需求和需要卫生服务的个人。另一个样本（n= 641）包括年龄在14-25岁之间有身体或认知障碍的个体。参与者完成了PROMIS儿科和成人的测量。基于项目反应理论的得分使用线性近似与校准投影相关联。结果估计儿童和成人PROMIS测量之间的潜在变量相关性为0.87至0.94。回归系数β0（截距）和β1（斜率），均方误差提供转换得分从儿童到成人的措施，反之亦然。本研究采用了一种相对较新的关联方法，即校准投影，将PROMIS儿童和成人测量得分联系起来，从而将PROMIS测量的使用范围扩大到包括两个人群的研究。
PurposeResearch studies that measure health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in both children and adults and longitudinal studies that follow children into adulthood need measures that can be compared across these age groups. This study links the PROMIS pediatric and adult emotional distress measures using data from participants with diverse health conditions and disabilities.MethodsAnalyses were conducted and compared in two separate samples to confirm the stability of results. One sample (n= 874) included individuals aged 14–20 years with special health care needs and who require health services. The other sample (n= 641) included individuals aged 14–25 years who have a physical or cognitive disability. Participants completed both PROMIS pediatric and adult measures. Item response theory-based scores were linked using the linear approximation to calibrated projection.ResultsThe estimated latent-variable correlation between pediatric and adult PROMIS measures ranged from 0.87 to 0.94. Regression coefficientsβ0(intercept) andβ1(slope), and mean squared error are provided to transform scores from the pediatric to the adult measures, and vice versa.ConclusionsThis study used a relatively new linking method, calibrated projection, to link PROMIS pediatric and adult measure scores, thus expanding the use of PROMIS measures to research that includes both populations.
