Item Response Theory Modeling of Legacy Measures to Enhance Detection of Breast Cancer-related Impairments

Item response theory-based modeling places items on a unidimensional calibrated continuum which offers salient benefits for the efficient clinical integration of patient reported outcomes (PROs). The ability to screen for physical impairments related to cancer treatment using PROs offers the potential to address their chronic and damaging under treatment. However, lengthy screening tools are not feasible for repeated administration in saturated clinical workflows.
