Popis: Background:. The Toronto Extremity Salvage Score (TESS) and the National Institutes of Health Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) are both utilized to measure patient-reported outcomes in adults with musculoskeletal oncologic conditions. However, the relationship between them has not been studied. We sought to describe a link between Lower Extremity (LE) TESS and PROMIS Physical Function (PF) scores, as well as between LE TESS and Pain Interference (PI) scores, to develop a method for converting scores between TESS and PROMIS and to examine whether TESS and PROMIS captured differences in pain and function between clinically relevant subgroups in our population. Methods:. Our study population consisted of 125 adult patients who underwent surgical treatment of a lower-extremity musculoskeletal tumor at a single sarcoma center between December 2015 and October 2018. The LE TESS questionnaire was administered to patients via paper and the PROMIS PF and PI were administered via iPad at a preoperative appointment. The relationship between LE TESS and PROMIS measures was analyzed with use of generalized linear modeling. Subgroup analyses were performed with a 2-tailed t test or 1-way analysis of variance. Results:. PROMIS PF had a very strong positive correlation with LE TESS (r = 0.83) and was related through the following equation: PROMIS PF = 0.00294 × (LE TESS)2 + 22.6. PROMIS PI had a strong negative correlation with LE TESS (r = –0.77) and was related through the following equation: PROMIS PI = −0.00259 × (LE TESS)2 + 73.8. PROMIS PF and PI performed similarly to LE TESS across multiple patient subgroups and captured the expected differences between subgroups. Conclusions:. LE TESS and PROMIS PF appeared to measure similar information in patients with an orthopaedic oncologic condition. Moreover, PROMIS PI scores were strongly correlated with functional disability as measured with the LE TESS. Understanding the relationship between TESS and PROMIS will allow the comparison and combination of data for both clinical and research purposes. Level of Evidence:. Prognostic Level III.
