This review identifies patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) for disease remission. It aims to find tools to assess the patient experience of asthma remission, informing future PROM development.
Area of Science:
- Respiratory Medicine
- Patient-Reported Outcomes
- Health Services Research
Background:
- Asthma impacts over 260 million individuals globally, with remission emerging as a critical treatment objective.
- Current asthma management lacks standardized methods for evaluating patient-reported remission experiences.
- Assessing patient perspectives is crucial for achieving meaningful remission in chronic respiratory diseases.
Purpose of the Study:
- To conduct a scoping review to identify validated Patient Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs) for disease remission.
- To determine which PROMs capture the patient experience of remission and could be applicable to asthma.
- To inform the development of a conceptual framework for a PROM specifically for asthma remission.
Main Methods:
- Adherence to the Joanna Briggs Institute Manual and PRISMA-ScR guidelines for systematic reviews.
- Independent screening of titles and abstracts by two reviewers after a calibration phase.
- Independent data extraction by two authors, with disagreements resolved by consensus or a third reviewer.
Main Results:
- The review systematically identified and synthesized existing PROMs relevant to disease remission.
- Key domains and items important to patients experiencing remission were cataloged.
- Applicability of identified PROMs to the context of asthma remission was assessed.
Conclusions:
- There is a need for validated PROMs to capture the patient experience of asthma remission.
- Identifying patient-centered outcomes is essential for developing effective asthma remission strategies.
- This review provides a foundation for creating a novel PROM tailored to asthma remission.

Asthma: Pathogenesis and Management
Asthma is classified as allergic and non-allergic. Allergens such as dust mites, pollen, and pet dander trigger allergic asthma, while factors like cold air, intense emotions, or exercise can induce non-allergic asthma.

Additionally, environmental and genetic factors play crucial roles in determining an individual's susceptibility to asthma and the severity of their condition.
