Bridging patient-reported outcomes and performance assessments in older adults: linking the Short Physical Performance Battery to the standardised PROMIS Physical Function scale
The SPPB can be meaningfully linked to the PROMIS PF T-score metric, enabling standardised interpretation, comparison, and aggregation of performance-based and self-reported physical function in older adults. We provide a user-friendly score cross-walk table to facilitate application in clinical practise and standardisation in geriatric research.
