Assessing the Quality of Life of Adults with Chronic Respiratory Diseases in Routine Primary Care: Construction and First Validation of the 10-Item Respiratory Illness Questionnaire-Monitoring 10 (RIQ-MON10)

Abstract

The short form (RIQ-MON10) maintained the psychometric properties of the original instrument and is promising for assessing quality of life (QoL) during routine primary care visits.

Outcomes for COPD pharmacological trials: from lung function to biomarkers

“…A total score is also calculated. It is self-administered and a shorter version has been described [122].…”

Factors that influence disease-specific quality of life or health status in patients with COPD: a systematic review and meta-analysis of Pearson correlations

“…The implementation of short instruments to measure health status has significantly improved their usage in daily clinical practice. [14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24] However, the currently available health status questionnaires have a number of differences in the concepts included, and various items are unique in some questionnaires. 25,26 The theoretical model of factors that potentially have an influence on health status includes factors such as age, gender, disease severity, lung function, body mass index (BMI), smoking status, symptoms, exercise capacity, co-morbidity, depression, anxiety, and exacerbations.…”

Condensation and validation of a 4-item index of the Acne-QoL

“…Each item within a domain was scored from 0 to 6 based on response selections ranging from extremely (or extensive) to not at all (or none). Higher scores within each domain 4,11,18). *Spearman correlation coefficient of each item to its domain score.…”
