We developed a Dutch-Flemish version of the patient-reported outcomes measurement information system (PROMIS) adult V1.0 item bank for depression as input for computerized adaptive testing (CAT). As item bank, we used the Dutch-Flemish translation of the original PROMIS item bank (28 items) and additionally translated 28 U.S. depression items that failed to make the final U.S. item bank. Through psychometric analysis of a combined clinical and general population sample ( N = 2,010), 8 added items were removed. With the final item bank, we performed several CAT simulations to assess the efficiency of the extended (48 items) and the original item bank (28 items), using various stopping rules. Both item banks resulted in highly efficient and precise measurement of depression and showed high similarity between the CAT simulation scores and the full item bank scores. We discuss the implications of using each item bank and stopping rule for further CAT development.
我们开发了荷兰语-弗拉芒语版的患者报告结局测量信息系统（PROMIS）成人抑郁症V1.0题库，作为计算机自适应测试（CAT）的输入。作为题库，我们使用了原始PROMIS题库（28个条目）的荷兰语-弗拉芒语翻译，并另外翻译了28个未进入美国最终题库的美国抑郁症条目。通过对临床和普通人群合并样本（N = 2,010）进行心理测量分析，删除了8个新增条目。使用最终题库，我们采用各种停止规则进行了多次CAT模拟，以评估扩展题库（48个条目）和原始题库（28个条目）的效率。两个题库在抑郁症测量方面都具有高效性和精确性，并且CAT模拟分数与完整题库分数之间显示出高度相似性。我们讨论了使用每个题库和停止规则对进一步的CAT开发的影响。
