Abstract: This pilot study examined the concurrent validity of Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS), Short Form, measures with the longer Multidimensional Fatigue Inventory among patients living with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). A total of 26 African American patients living with prediabetes and newly diagnosed with OSA completed the six-item short form versions of PROMIS Fatigue and PROMIS Sleep Disturbance, and the longer 20-item Multidimensional Fatigue Inventory. Both PROMIS Fatigue and Sleep Disturbance scales demonstrated high reliability with Cronbach’s α of .91 and .92, respectively. PROMIS Fatigue scores were significantly correlated with Multidimensional Fatigue Inventory scores ( r s  = .53; p  = .006) and demonstrated concurrent validity. However, PROMIS Sleep Disturbance scores and Multidimensional Fatigue Inventory scores were not associated with one another. The brief PROMIS Fatigue scale is a useful, succinct approach to assess fatigue severity among diverse patient populations living with OSA. This study is among the first to evaluate the performance of PROMIS Fatigue in a sample living with OSA.
