Systematic review evaluates measurement properties of PROMs for colorectal cancer, indicating quality variations.

To evaluate the measurement properties and methodological quality of patient-reported outcome measures for colorectal cancer.
Conducted a literature search in major databases including PubMed and Cochrane Library.
Two independent reviewers screened studies and assessed methodological quality using the COSMIN checklist.
Instruments were categorized into recommendation levels based on evidence for content validity and internal consistency.
Fifteen studies involving 13 colorectal cancer-specific PROMs were included.
Most instruments showed moderate to low quality of evidence with deficiencies in validity and responsiveness.
Four instruments were classified as Grade A for sufficient content validity and acceptable internal consistency.
