Prediction of Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) using PROMIS-29 in a national sample of lumbar spine surgery patients.

Abstract

The primary purpose was to examine the measurement properties of the PROMIS-29 to better understand its use in patients undergoing spine surgery. A secondary objective was to calculate a predictive equation between PROMIS-29 and ODI, to allow clinicians and researchers to determine a predicted ODI score based on PROMIS short form scores.
