Abstract
REVIEW QUESTION/OBJECTIVE: The objective is to systematically review the psychometric properties and the clinical utility of patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) and proxy-reported outcome measures that assess health-related quality of life (HRQoL) among patients receiving enteral feeding to make recommendations for use in clinical practice and research. The purpose of this systematic review is to evaluate the psychometric properties and the clinical utility of:The research question is: What are the psychometric properties and the clinical utility of these measures? We will summarize evidence on the following properties: validity (content validity, criterion-related validity, construct validity, floor and ceiling effects), reliability (reproducibility and internal consistency) and responsiveness and clinical utility (interpretability and feasibility to complete the PROM and the proxy-reported outcome measure).
