Evaluating anchor variables and variation in meaningful score differences for PROMIS® Pediatric measures in children and adolescents living with a rheumatic disease
Many of the candidate external anchoring variables did not meet pre-specified criteria for calculating MSDs. Even for those that did, the choice of anchoring variable had a strong impact on the estimated MSD value and were different from other published values. As in adults, establishing pediatric MSDs requires selection of high-quality anchors, as changes in the variables used as anchors can impact MSD values and any subsequent score interpretations.
