Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Other	Postoperative Patient Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) Physical Functioning Item Bank, v2.0	The PROMIS physical functioning computer assisted test draws from a bank of 123 items all scored on a 5 point Likert scale. T-Score distributions are standardized such that a 50 represents the average (mean) for the US general population, and the standard deviation around that mean is 10 points. Higher scores reflect better physical functioning.	Assessed at 2-weeks, 6-weeks, 3-months, 6-months and 12-months postoperatively
Other	Postoperative Patient Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) Pain Interference Bank v1.1	The PROMIS pain interference computer assisted test draws from a bank of 40 items all scored on a 5 point Likert scale. T-Score distributions are standardized such that a 50 represents the average (mean) for the US general population, and the standard deviation around that mean is 10 points. Higher scores reflect greater pain interference.	Assessed at 2-weeks, 6-weeks, 3-months, 6-months and 12-months postoperatively
Other	Postoperative Patient Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) Anxiety Bank v1.0	The PROMIS anxiety computer assisted test draws from a bank of 29 items all scored on a 5 point Likert scale. T-Score distributions are standardized such that a 50 represents the average (mean) for the US general population, and the standard deviation around that mean is 10 points. Higher scores reflect greater anxiety.	Assessed at 2-weeks, 6-weeks, 3-months, 6-months and 12-months postoperatively
Other	Postoperative Patient Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) Depression Bank v1.0	The PROMIS depression computer assisted test draws from a bank of 28 items all scored on a 5 point Likert scale. T-Score distributions are standardized such that a 50 represents the average (mean) for the US general population, and the standard deviation around that mean is 10 points. Higher scores reflect greater depression.	Assessed at 2-weeks, 6-weeks, 3-months, 6-months and 12-months postoperatively
Primary	Change in Preoperative Anxiety	Single item assessing pain unpleasantness ("How nervous, anxious, or on edge do you feel?") scored on an 11-point (0=Not at all, 10=Very much) numeric rating scale. Higher scores indicate greater anxiety.	Immediately before to after the 7-minute preoperative intervention
Primary	Change in Postoperative, In-patient Pain Unpleasantness	Single item assessing pain unpleasantness ("How unpleasant is your pain?") scored on an 11-point (0=Not at all, 10=Very much) numeric rating scale. Higher scores indicate greater pain unpleasantness.	Immediately before to after the 7-minute postoperative intervention
Secondary	Change in Preoperative Pain Intensity	Single item assessing pain intensity ("How much pain do you have?") scored on an 11-point (0=Not at all, 10=Very much) numeric rating scale. Higher scores indicate greater pain intensity.	Immediately before to after the 7-minute preoperative intervention
Secondary	Change in Postoperative, In-patient Pain Intensity	Single item assessing pain intensity ("How much pain do you have?") scored on an 11-point (0=Not at all, 10=Very much) numeric rating scale. Higher scores indicate greater pain intensity.	Immediately before to after the 7-minute postoperative intervention
Secondary	Change in Preoperative Pain Unpleasantness	Single item assessing pain unpleasantness ("How unpleasant is your pain?") scored on an 11-point (0=Not at all, 10=Very much) numeric rating scale. Higher scores indicate greater pain unpleasantness.	Immediately before to after the 7-minute preoperative intervention
Secondary	Change in Postoperative, In-patient Anxiety	Single item assessing pain unpleasantness ("How nervous, anxious, or on edge do you feel?") scored on an 11-point (0=Not at all, 10=Very much) numeric rating scale. Higher scores indicate greater anxiety.	Immediately before to after the 7-minute postoperative intervention
