Implication

Systematic review finds incomplete psychometric validation across common hand-specific patient-reported outcome measures, indicating a need for higher-quality measurement evidence.

Key Points

To systematically evaluate the development and published psychometric properties of the most commonly used site-specific patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) for hand conditions.
Conducted a PRISMA-compliant, prospectively registered (PROSPERO) systematic review across Medline, Embase, PsycINFO, and CINAHL using duplicate abstract screening.
Assessed published psychometric properties—including content validity, internal consistency, construct validity, reproducibility, responsiveness, floor/ceiling effects, and interpretability—for DASH, qDASH, MHQ, PEM, UEFI, and DHI.
Screening identified 54 eligible studies from 943 retrieved articles: DASH (19 studies), qDASH (8), MHQ (13), UEFI (5), PEM (4), and DHI (5).
DASH, qDASH, and MHQ possessed the most extensive published psychometric evidence, though all demonstrated instances of poor performance or incomplete evaluation.
Published evidence supporting the psychometric properties of UEFI, PEM, and DHI was substantially more limited.
