promis 57

The PROMIS-57 survey measures pain interference and pain intensity by administering a fixed number of items from 7 PROMIS domains:  depression, anxiety, physical function, pain interference, fatigue, sleep disturbance, and ability to participate in social roles and activities. There are 8 questions per domain, plus an additional pain intensity 0-10 numeric rating scale. The profiles are universal rather than disease-specific. They assess all domains over the past 7 days, except for physical function, which has no time frame specified. The PROMIS 57 v2.1 has been validated for use with kidney transplant recipients.
