The EORTC computer-adaptive tests measuring physical functioning and fatigue exhibited high levels of measurement precision and efficiency

2013

Objectives: The European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) Quality of Life Group is developing a computer-adaptive test (CAT) version of the EORTC Quality of Life Questionnaire (QLQ-C30). We evaluated the measurement properties of the CAT versions of physical functioning (PF) and fatigue (FA) and compared these with the corresponding QLQ-C30 scales. Study Design and Setting: Based on international samples of more than 1,000 cancer patients, we simulated CAT administration of varying numbers of items and compared the resulting scores with those based on all items in the respective item pools. Furthermore, the relative validity (RV) of CATs was compared with that of th…

[Choosing a quality-of-life questionnaire].

2006

International audience; Define the objective of the questionnaire: Discrimination: do you want a questionnaire to enable you to describe the quality of life of patients or to compare the quality of life between groups of patients, for example, to determine who has improved and who has gotten worse? Assessment: do you want a questionnaire to help you measure changes over time (improvement or aggravation) in your patients? Determine the properties of instruments necessary for this objective: If the objective is discrimination, analyze: construct validity, reliability. If the objective is assessment, analyze construct validity, sensitivity to changes. Choose the general category of questionnai…
