Introduction: Our ongoing efforts to demonstrate effectiveness of care examined the quality of life (QoL) and patient satisfaction of chiropractic patients presenting for care in a PBRN. Methods: In addition to socio-demographic and clinical care information, we examined visit-specific satisfaction and QoL using the RAND VSQ and PROMIS-29, respectively. Results: Our study population was comprised of 126 subjects (average age = 39.68; 97 females). The majority of respondents presented with musculoskeletal complaints with an average mean duration of 7.188 years. The mean PROMIS-25 mean T Scores were: depression (47.80); pain interference (53.49); fatigue (51.02); physical function (49.02); satisfaction with social role (52.10); anxiety (50.14); and sleep disturbance (49.88). The VSQ9 mean score was 93.4% indicating high satisfaction. Conclusions: Adults attending care in a chiropractic PBRN were able to successfully complete the PROMIS29 and VSQ9 instruments. Future longitudinal studies should quantify the minimal clinically important difference in mean T score changes. (C) 2015 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
