2015, Journal of Clinical EpidemiologyCitation Excerpt :The rest of them were rated as unknown, and one item (Quality-Quantity Questionnaire [43]) was rated as limited negative. Thirty-two instruments were rated on this property with 11 rated as strong positive (version 1 of QLQ-C30 [28,64], version 3 of QLQ-C30 [5,27,30,65,66], QLQ-CR38 [21–27], QLQ-LMC21 [46,50], version 4 of FACT-G [23,27,69], FACT-C [23,27,33,34,55,59–61], FCSI-9 [35], FACIT-F [68], QLICP-CR [62], MSKCC Bowel Function [40,41], and EQ-5D [72]). All ratings given to the nine instruments that were assessed on this property (version 3 of QLQ-C30 [27,29,30,65,66], QLQ-SWB36 [53], QLQ-CR38 [21–27], QLQ-CR29 [31,54], FACT-C [23,27,33,34,55,59–61], MSAS-SF [56], CMSAS [56], SRQS [57], and MSKCC Bowel Function [40,41]) were unknown as inadequate information was provided by these studies.
The value of quality of life and health status measurements in the evaluation of the well-being of breast cancer survivors
2008, European Journal of Surgical OncologyCitation Excerpt :The aim of this study was to determine whether the scores on QoL and HS of breast cancer survivors were comparable to scores of healthy reference populations and to establish the difference in conclusions reached when applying a QoL questionnaire compared with a HS questionnaire. Previous studies have compared different HS questionnaires to see whether the results are interchangeable when applied to cancer patients.24,25,26,27 All studies showed considerable differences in outcomes between the questionnaires used.
