the-mad-statter/podci: Scoring for the Pediatric Outcomes Data Collection Instrument (PODCI)

The pediatric outcomes data collection instrument (PODCI) is a patient-reported outcome measure (PROM) developed by the Pediatric Orthopedic Society of North America to assess functional health status in children with musculoskeletal disorders. PODCI evaluates functional health status through an 86 item questionnaire. The pediatric form (2 years to 10 years 11 months) is completed by parents. The adolescent form (11 years to 18 years 11 months) is answered by parents (parent report) and adolescents (self-report). PODCI consists of scores on five core scales plus a sixth global scale. Four scales encompass physical function and one assesses psychological well-being. Physical function core scales include (1) Upper Extremity and Physical Function (UPEX), which measures ability to perform activities of daily living with upper extremities, such as lifting books and turning doorknobs; (2) Transfer and Basic Mobility (TRAN), which measures ability to perform activities of daily living with lower extremities and trunk, such as standing, sitting, and transfers; (3) Sports and Physical Functioning (SPRT), which measures capacity for physical activity like running and walking more than one mile; and (4) Pain/Comfort (PAIN), which quantifies pain and its interference with activities. The psychological well-being core scale is Happiness (HAPY), which assesses a child’s happiness with physical appearance, capabilities, and health.
