Assessing the impact of headaches and the outcomes of treatment: a systematic review of patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs)
Open accessAbstract
Aims To critically appraise, compare and synthesise the quality and acceptability of multi-item patient reported outcome measures for adults with chronic or episodic headache. Methods Systematic literature searches of major databases (1980-2016) to identify published evidence of PROM measurement and practical properties. Data on study quality (COSMIN), measurement and practical properties per measure were extracted and assessed against accepted standards to inform an evidence synthesis. Results From 10,903 reviewed abstracts, 103 articles were assessed in full; 46 provided evidence for 23 PROMs: Eleven specific to the health-related impact of migraine (n = 5) or headache (n = 6); six assessed migraine-specific treatment response/satisfaction; six were generic measures. Evidence for measurement validity and score interpretation was strongest for two measures of impact, Migraine-Specific Quality of Life Questionnaire (MSQ v2.1) and Headache Impact Test 6-item (HIT-6), and one of treatment response, the Patient Perception of Migraine Questionnaire (PPMQ-R). Evidence of reliability was limited, but acceptable for the HIT-6. Responsiveness was rarely evaluated. Evidence for the remaining measures was limited. Patient involvement was limited and poorly reported. Conclusion While evidence is limited, three measures have acceptable evidence of reliability and validity: HIT-6, MSQ v2.1 and PPMQ-R. Only the HIT-6 has acceptable evidence supporting its completion by all "headache" populations.

There is limited, but acceptable, evidence supporting the use of the SF-12 V2 to assess overall quality of life in a headache population.

The Results (page not provided) list the SF-12 as a generic measure assessed in headache populations and rate one measurement property as adequate, but with limited evidence. The paper does not identify the measure as SF-12 V2, and its Discussion reserves the description of acceptable construct-validity evidence for the SF-36 and SF-8, not the SF-12. It also reports no evidence of responsiveness for the generic measures, so the broader endorsement of SF-12 V2 for assessing overall quality of life is not fully supported. (LLM, conf=0.84)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredPrior to selecting outcome measures, the authors did a systematic review of patient-reported outcome measures for headaches.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
