Abstract

Objective To evaluate the measurement performance of patient-reported outcome measures in patients with post-thrombotic syndrome and to provide a basis for the selection of clinical evaluation tools. Methods The original studies on patient-reported outcome measures for patients with post-thrombotic syndrome were searched in databases such as Embase，MEDLINE，Springer Link，Web of science，PubMed，Weipu，Wanfang，and CNKI from inception to December 2024. Two researchers independently screened the literature and extracted relevant data，and the evaluation tools were evaluated based on the consensus-based standards for the selection of health measurement instruments （COSMIN） method，and if there was a disagreement，the third researcher decided. Results A total of 10 evaluation tools was included，and all of them had different degrees of methodological problems. According to COSMIN guidelines，the VEINES-the quality of life/symptom（VEINES-QOL/Sym） and Villalta-PVR2 scales are class A assessment tools，and the rest of the scales are class B assessment tools. Conclusion The choice of assessment tools should be dependent on specific clinical circumstances and further verified in different environments and populations. It is recommended that the Villalta-PVR2 scale be prioritized for primary screening at the grassroots level，and the VEINES-QOL/Sym scale be used for specialized follow-up. In the multi-dimensional exploration of research scenarios，various assessment tools can be adopted in a collaborative manner.
