What patient factors and Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System domains are associated with worse pain coping in pediatric orthopaedic patients in the United States?

We sought to better understand the relationship between Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) mobility, pain interference (PI) and depressive symptoms scores, as well as determine what patient factors and PROMIS domains were associated with worse pain coping (PROMIS PI), in a pediatric orthopaedic population. Between 27 August 2015 and 30 April 2019, new pediatric orthopaedic patients 18 years or younger (or their guardians as a proxy) were asked to complete PROMIS mobility, PI and depressive symptoms domains at an academic medical center pediatric orthopaedic clinic. Pearson correlation coefficients (r) were calculated between each PROMIS domain. Linear multivariate regression analysis was used to determine patient characteristics and PROMIS domains associated with presenting PROMIS PI scores. There was a strong-moderate correlation between PROMIS mobility and PI (r = −0.66, P
