AB  - OBJECTIVES: The Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) 
      is a universally applicable set of instruments, including item banks, short forms 
      and computer adaptive tests (CATs), measuring patient-reported health across 
      different patient populations. PROMIS CATs are highly efficient and the use in 
      practice is considered feasible with little administration time, offering 
      standardized and routine patient monitoring. Before an item bank can be used as 
      CAT, the psychometric properties of the item bank have to be examined. Therefore, 
      the objective was to assess the psychometric properties of the Dutch-Flemish 
      PROMIS Physical Function item bank (DF-PROMIS-PF) in Dutch patients receiving 
      physical therapy. DESIGN: Cross-sectional study. SETTING AND PARTICIPANTS: 805 
      patients >18 years, who received any kind of physical therapy in primary care in 
      the past year, completed the full DF-PROMIS-PF (121 items). METHODS: 
      Unidimensionality was examined by Confirmatory Factor Analysis and local 
      dependence and monotonicity were evaluated. A Graded Response Model was fitted. 
      Construct validity was examined with correlations between DF-PROMIS-PF T-scores 
      and scores on two legacy instruments (SF-36 Health Survey Physical Functioning 
      scale [SF36-PF10] and the Health Assessment Questionnaire Disability-Index 
      [HAQ-DI]). Reliability (standard errors of theta) was assessed. RESULTS: The 
      results for unidimensionality were mixed (scaled CFI = 0.924, TLI = 0.923, RMSEA 
      = 0.045, 1th factor explained 61.5% of variance). Some local dependence was found 
      (8.2% of item pairs). The item bank showed a broad coverage of the physical 
      function construct (threshold-parameters range: -4.28-2.33) and good construct 
      validity (correlation with SF36-PF10 = 0.84 and HAQ-DI = -0.85). Furthermore, the 
      DF-PROMIS-PF showed greater reliability over a broader score-range than the 
      SF36-PF10 and HAQ-DI. CONCLUSIONS: The psychometric properties of the 
      DF-PROMIS-PF item bank are sufficient. The DF-PROMIS-PF can now be used as short 
      forms or CAT to measure the level of physical function of physiotherapy patients.
