To develop a practical, efficient, and reliable pediatric global health (PGH) measure that would be useful for clinical, quality improvement, and research applications.
Using the Patient Reported Outcome Measurement Information System (PROMIS) mixed-methods approach for item bank development, we identified an item pool that was well understood by children as young as age 8 years and tested its psychometric properties in an internet panel sample of 3,635 children 8-17 years old and 1,807 parents of children 5-17 years old.
The final version of the PGH measure included 7 items assessing general, physical, mental, and social health. Four of these items had the same wording as the PROMIS adult global health measure. Internal consistency was 0.88 for the child-report form and 0.84 for the parent form; both had excellent test-retest reliability. The measures showed factor invariance across age categories. There was no differential item functioning by age, gender, race, or ethnicity. Because the measure includes the general health rating question, it is possible to estimate the PGH scale using this widely used single item.
The PROMIS PGH-7 measure is a brief and reliable 7-item measure of a child's global health.
开发一种实用、高效、可靠的儿科全球健康（PGH）测量工具，可用于临床、质量改进和研究应用。
我们使用患者报告的结果测量信息系统（PROMIS）混合方法进行项目库开发，确定了一个 8 岁以下儿童能很好理解的项目池，并在一个由 3635 名 8-17 岁儿童和 1807 名 5-17 岁儿童的家长组成的互联网小组样本中测试了其心理测量学特性。
PGH 测量的最终版本包括 7 个项目，评估一般、身体、心理和社会健康。其中 4 个项目与 PROMIS 成人全球健康测量的措辞相同。儿童报告形式的内部一致性为 0.88，家长报告形式的内部一致性为 0.84；两者均具有极好的重测信度。该测量在年龄类别之间表现出因子不变性。年龄、性别、种族或民族没有差异项目功能。由于该测量包括一般健康评分问题，因此可以使用这个广泛使用的单一项目来估计 PGH 量表。
PROMIS PGH-7 测量是一种简短而可靠的儿童整体健康 7 项测量工具。
