Abstract

Abstract

Objective To systematically assess the quality of pruritus-related patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) and provide a guidance for selecting appropriate tools. Methods PubMed, Embase, web of science, CNKI, Wanfang, Whipple, and Chinese Biomedical Literature databases were searched to identify publicly available studies on pruritus-related PROMs both domestically and internationally. Two researchers evaluated the methodological quality and measurement attributes of the included studies using the consensus-based standards for the selection of health measurement instruments (COSMIN). Results A total of 27 studies involving 24 pruritus-related PROMs were included. Thirteen PROMs were given a recommendation rating. Among the multidimensional pruritus tools, SIIS (English) and ICQ (English) were rated level A, while FIIQ (Chinese), EIQ (Traditional Chinese), BIQ (Chinese), and Pruritus Evaluation Scale (Chinese) were recommended as level B, and 12-PSS (Chinese) was related level C. Among pruritus-related quality of life tools, the TweenItchyQoL (English) was related level A, while the UP-Dial (11 items in Chinese), SRISS (English), and ItchyQoL (Chinese) were related level B, and the UP-Dial (14 items in Chinese) and KIQoL (English) were related level C. Conclusion SIIS (English), ICQ (English), and TweenItchyQoL (English) need to be translated into Chinese before application. ItchyQoL (Chinese) measurement has a relatively comprehensive measurement attribute evaluation and can be used as a Chinese tool for use at present.
