Key Points

The Short Physical Performance Battery is connected to the PROMIS Physical Function T-score for standardized assessment.
A user-friendly score cross-walk table enhances application in clinical practice and standardizes geriatric research.
This connection enables meaningful aggregation of performance-based and self-reported physical function data.
Such linkage may improve clinical outcomes by allowing more comprehensive evaluations of physical health.

Implication

Observational analysis links the SPPB with the PROMIS PF T-score, suggesting improved assessment in older adults.

Abstract

The SPPB can be meaningfully linked to the PROMIS PF T-score metric, enabling standardised interpretation, comparison, and aggregation of performance-based and self-reported physical function in older adults. We provide a user-friendly score cross-walk table to facilitate application in clinical practise and standardisation in geriatric research.
