Individuals born preterm (gestational age < 37 weeks) and/or at low birthweight (<2500 g) are at increased risk of health impairments from birth to adulthood. This review aimed to evaluate the psychometric performance of generic childhood-specific or childhood-compatible multi-attribute utility instruments (MAUIs) in preterm and/or low birthweight (PLB) populations.
Searches covered seven databases, including studies that targeted childhood (aged < 18 years) and/or adult (≥18 years) PLB populations; provided psychometric evidence for generic childhood-specific or compatible MAUI(s) (any language version); and published in English. Eighteen psychometric properties were evaluated using a four-part criteria rating system. Data syntheses identified psychometric evidence gaps and summarised the psychometric assessment methods/results.
A total of 42 studies were included, generating 178 criteria rating outputs across four MAUIs: 17D, CHSCS-PS, HUI2, and HUI3. Moreover, 64.0% of outputs concerned the HUI3 MAUI, and 38.2% related to known-group validity. There was no evidence for five psychometric properties. Only 6.7% of outputs concerned reliability and proxy-child agreement. No MAUI outperformed others across all properties. The frequently applied HUI2 and HUI3 lacked content validity evidence.
This psychometric evidence catalogue should inform the selection of MAUI(s) suited to the specific aims of applications targeting PLB populations. Further psychometric research is warranted to address the gaps in psychometric evidence.
早产（胎龄<37周）和/或低出生体重（<2500克）的个体从出生到成年期健康受损风险增加。本综述旨在评估通用的儿童专用或与儿童兼容的多属性效用工具（MAUIs）在早产和/或低出生体重（PLB）人群中的心理测量性能。
检索了七个数据库，包括针对儿童（年龄<18岁）和/或成人（≥18岁）PLB人群的研究；提供了通用的儿童专用或兼容MAUI（任何语言版本）的心理测量证据；并以英文发表。使用四部分标准评分系统评估了18种心理测量属性。数据综合确定了心理测量证据差距，并总结了心理测量评估方法/结果。
共纳入42项研究，产生了涉及四种MAUI（17D、CHSCS-PS、HUI2和HUI3）的178个标准评分结果。此外，64.0%的结果涉及HUI3 MAUI，38.2%与已知组效度有关。没有证据支持五种心理测量属性。只有6.7%的结果涉及信度和代理儿童一致性。没有一种MAUI在所有属性上都优于其他MAUI。常用的HUI2和HUI3缺乏内容效度证据。
这本心理测量证据目录应为选择适合针对PLB人群应用的特定目标的MAUI提供参考。有必要进行进一步的心理测量研究以填补心理测量证据方面的空白。
