      Evaluation Measure (PEM-Slo) in Patients with Wrist and Hand Disorders.

AB  - INTRODUCTION: The Patient Evaluation Measure (PEM) is a region-specific patient 
      reported outcome measure (PROM) for hand and wrist disorders, first introduced in 
      English for patients with hand surgery in 1995. The purpose of the study was to 
      assess the psychometric properties of the translated and cross-culturally adapted 
      Slovenian version of PEM (PEM-Slo). METHODS: The study was designed as a 
      single-centre observational prospective study conducted from July 2020 to March 
      2021. The psychometric evaluation was performed on fifty-one patients with 
      miscellaneous hand and wrist disorders. Reliability was tested for internal 
      consistency and test-retest reliability. Convergent and divergent validity, 
      responsiveness, floor and ceiling effect, and interpretability with the 
      determination of minimal detectable change (MDC) and minimal clinically important 
      difference (MCID) were assessed. RESULTS: The PEM-Slo has excellent internal 
      consistency (Cronbach's alpha 0.932) and good to excellent test-retest reliability 
      (intraclass correlation coefficient=0.874). Convergent validity was proved with 
      high to moderate correlations of PEM-Slo with DASH, grip strength and self-care, 
      usual activities, and pain EQ-5D-5L subscales, whereas no correlation of PEM-Slo 
      with EQ-5D-5L mobility and anxiety/depression subscale confirmed divergent 
      validity. The PEM-Slo responsiveness was high (standardised response mean=1.42, 
      effect size=1.25). MDC was 18.01 and MCID was 17.31. No floor or ceiling effect 
      was found. CONCLUSION: The PEM-Slo is a reliable, valid and responsive PROM for 
      Slovenian-speaking patients with hand and wrist disorders.
