Abstract: This study aims to assess the psychometric properties of the Brazilian version of the Vulnerable Elders Survey-13 (VES-13). Interviews were carried out with individuals aged 60 years and over receiving care at an ambulatory cancer centre. Test-retest reliability was assessed using the Spearman correlation coefficient, intraclass correlation coefficients and Cohen's kappa coefficient. Construct validity was assessed by testing convergent and discriminant validity using principal component analysis and Varimax r… Show more

“…The feasibility of the GFI was assessed by determining the proportion of missing values per item [12,19,25]. The reliability of the GFI and VES-13 scale scores was estimated using internal consistency methods (Cronbach's alpha), whereas an alpha above 0.70 was acceptable for group comparisons [26][27][28]. The construct validity of the GFI was assessed in terms of known-groups validity and convergent and discriminant validity.…”

“…In total, eight HR-PROMs were identified: four health-related QoL tools (two European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer QoL questionnaires—EORTC QLQ-C30 [ 24 ] and EORTC QLQ-C15-PAL [ 25 ], Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-general or FACT-G [ 26 ] and the World Health Organization QoL questionnaire short version or WHOQOL-bref [ 27 ]); one symptom assessment tool (Edmonton Symptom Assessment System or ESAS [ 28 ]); one symptom and severity assessment tool (MD Anderson Symptom Inventory-core or MDASI [ 29 ]); one health status tool (Medical Outcomes Study 36-Item Short-Form Health Survey or SF-36 [ 27 ]) and one functional screening tool (Vulnerable Elders Survey-13 or VES-13 [ 30 ]).…”
