The use of global health items permits an efficient way gathering general perceptions health. These provide useful summary information about and are predictive care utilization subsequent mortality. Analyses 10 self-reported obtained from internet survey as part the Patient-Reported Outcome Measurement Information System (PROMIS) project. We derived scores items. estimated associations with EQ-5D index score PROMIS physical function, pain, fatigue, emotional distress, social domain scores....
<h3>Objective</h3> To identify the content area for a questionnaire designed to measure vision-targeted health-related quality of life and determine whether problems with vision-related functioning are qualitatively similar across different common eye diseases. <h3>Design</h3> Twenty-six condition-specific focus groups were conducted 246 patients from 5 geographic regions use among persons diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma, macular degeneration, cytomegalovirus retinitis, cataract. A standard...
Self-reports of health provide useful information about function and well-being that can improve communication between patients clinicians. Global items summary are predictive care utilization mortality. There is a need for parsimonious global scales use in large sample surveys. This study evaluates the reliability validity brief measures physical mental Patient Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS®) project.A total 21,133 persons included PROMIS development sample: 52%...

Abstract Epilepsy surgery is an increasingly common treatment for intractable epilepsy; yet there no clear consensus among experts on how to report epilepsy outcome. Most published outcome reporting systems focus seizure frequency and type but differ in they define clinically distinct categories. We used a reliable valid measure of self‐reported health‐related quality life (HRQOL), the Surgery Inventory (ESI)‐55, as external standard by which evaluate seven previously published,...

Objective To estimate responsiveness (sensitivity to change) and minimally important difference (MID) for the Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) 20-item physical functioning scale (PROMIS PF-20). Methods The PROMIS PF-20, short form 36 (SF-36) scale, Health Assessment Questionnaire (HAQ) were administered at baseline, 6 12 months later a sample of 451 persons with rheumatoid arthritis. A retrospective change (anchor) item was 12-month follow-up. We estimated...
<h3>Objective</h3> To evaluate the associations of presbyopia and its correction, particularly monovision optical with vision-targeted health-related quality life. <h3>Methods</h3> The National Eye Institute Refractive Error Quality Life (NEI-RQL) Instrument was prospectively self-administered by subjects from 6 medical centers in following age correction categories: emmetropia younger than 45 years (n = 75), aged or older 38), ametropia without 486) corrected 38).

Assessing individual change is feasible and potentially useful in clinical practice. This article provides an overview of the evaluation statistically significant health-related quality life (HRQOL) for patients. We review standard error measurement, prediction, reliable indices using a sample 54 patients receiving care at UCLA Center East-West Medicine. The largest amount necessary statistical significance was found index smallest needed measurement. required intermediate prediction. median...
OBJECTIVES: Older adults can incur problems at low levels of alcohol consumption because age‐related physiological changes, declining health and functional status, medication use. We have developed tested a screening measure specifically for older people, the Alcohol‐Related Problems Survey (ARPS), to identify with these risks. DESIGN: Survey. SETTING: Academic community primary care clinics. PARTICIPANTS: Five hundred forty‐nine current drinkers aged 65 older, mostly white high school or...
We enrolled 280 intubated babies with birth weights of less than 1,751 g in a double-blind randomized prospective clinical trial to evaluate whether phenobarbital influences the likelihood developing subependymal-intraventricular-intraparenchymal hemorrhage. Phenobarbital was associated an increased risk any hemorrhage and not diminished either severe or germinal matrix This apparent even after we considered influence levels, timing administrations, institutional differences, quality...
