The distinction between psychometric and clinimetric approaches will not move the field forward

We read the article “Clinimetric Criteria for Patient-Reported Outcome Measures” with great interest. Highlighting certain test characteristics for patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) that seem to be neglected in the psychometric literature is a commendable endeavor. We share the authors' intention of supporting clinical practice by providing the most useful and well-validated PROMs possible. However, in our view, the article contains several inconsistencies that may limit its usefulness for moving the field forward.
