There was relative agreement in ratings between IWPD and their PCPs on all PROMs. Finally, there were relatively stable test-retest scores on all three PROMs over the three study visits, both within and between IWPD and PCPs. An exception was a statistically, but not clinically significant, decrease in CPIB scores between Visit 1 and Visit 3 for IWPD.</p><p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>This study has contributed to our understanding of the measurement properties of the CPIB, VAPP, and LSUS related to the test-retest stability of these measures over three time points in IWPD, proxy raters, and control participants. These findings provide additional context in the interpretation of participation-based PROMs in this clinical population and may prove to be useful in interpreting changes to participation-based PROM scores.</p>","PeriodicalId":49240,"journal":{"name":"American Journal of Speech-Language Pathology","volume":" ","pages":"1-15"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-03-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143598312","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
