We searched in MEDLINE for reviews, related to injuries or disorders of the hand, reporting on PROMs. We linked the items of the identified PROMs to the ICF and compared the qualitative data with the content of the PROMs.ResultsStatements from 45 individuals who participated in eight focus groups were linked to 97 categories of the ICF. From 15 reviews included, eight PROMs were selected. The selected PROMs capture 34 of the categories retrieved from the qualitative data.ConclusionsPROMs used in the context of hand injuries or hand disorders capture only in parts the functioning aspects important to the patients.Level of evidenceN.A.
