4-Domain Sports PROM app

The starting point was the article "Presently PROM is not tailored for athletes and high-performance sports practitioners: a systematic review" in the Journal of ISAKOS.

In 2021, 4-Domain Sports PROM, a 4-pillar structure questionnaire, was validated and published in English Designed to assess the population of athletic and sports practitioners, this PROM has a universal approach regardless of the anatomical site of injury involved (knee, shoulder, foot, hip, and so on). It collects data before the injury, with injury, athletes´ expectations, treatment, and operative outcomes. Moreover, it allows for recording and classifying athletes, sports levels, main physical demands in sports, and clinical complaints.

The 4-Domain Sports PROM is a MULTILINGUAL PROMS PROJECT. It has been already cross-culturally validated in Portuguese, Spanish, Italian and Chinese and cross-cultural validation is being performed in French.

The 4-Domain Sports PROM app allows to record information about the patient's age, gender, weight, height, BMI, anatomical location, type, and time of injury, and we can register additional information. All the information collected can be filtered for analysis according to the research interest. The app exploits a descriptive analysis of the collected data; the statistical analysis is achieved with a minimum of 50 evaluated patients. All data and analysis can be selected and printed or saved as a PDF or Excel file.
