“…The methodology for the production of the Southampton Guidelines was developed in collaboration with an independent methodologist. A unique approach to the production was adopted by integrating three validated methods: the SIGN (Scottish Intercollegiate Guidelines Network) methodology for the assessment of evidence and development of guideline statements (5) ; the Delphi method (for establishing expert consensus) (6) and the AGREE II-GRS (Global Rating Scale) Instrument (7) for the assessment of the methodological quality and external validation of the final statements.…”

“…As a result, in the 1990s, the concept of health-related quality of life (HRQoL) was introduced into clinical practice. 5 HRQoL is defined as the functional effects of the illness and treatment, as perceived by the patient. Thus, HRQoL comprises such components as the clinical condition and physical fitness of patients, as well as their psychological condition, social status, and somatic sensations.…”

It can be used, eg, to screen for patients requiring additional support, to assess the impact of the illness and its treatment on the patient, and to analyze the quality of medical services rendered.…”

BackgroundIn recent years, there has been an increased interest in the subjective quality of life (QoL) of patients with bronchial asthma. Patients diagnosed with asthma experience a number of problems with regard to everyday activities and functions, which adversely affects their health-related QoL.AimThe aim of this study is to analyze the sociodemographic factors affecting the QoL of patients with asthma.Patients and methodsThe study comprised of 100 patients (73 females and 27 males) aged 18–84 years (mean age 45.7 years) treated in the Department and Clinic of Internal Diseases, Geriatrics and Allergology, Wroclaw Medical University. All patients with asthma who met the inclusion criteria participated in the study. We used medical record analysis and two questionnaires: the asthma quality of life questionnaire (AQLQ) and the asthma control test. Up-to-date sociodemographic data were collected from all participants, including sex, age, marital status, education, and sources of income.ResultsThe sociodemographic variables that correlated positively with QoL in all domains of the AQLQ were professional activity and higher education level of respondents. Factors that negatively influenced the AQLQ domains were older age and lack of professional activity.ConclusionThis study shows that age, physical work, and lack of professional activity decreased the QoL in this patient group. It was found that higher education contributes to better QoL scores.

This study forecasts future issues in NCAA Division I FBS intercollegiate athletics. The research design employed the Delphi technique to survey an expert panel, consisting of 12 athletic directors and associate athletic directors from FBS institutions, over three rounds to ascertain what issues are likely to occur over the next five to seven years and whether or not these issues will have a significant impact on the way intercollegiate athletics operates. Results of the study revealed eight issues that were likely to occur over the next five to seven years. Four of these issues related to the economic sector of the environment, one related to the legal sector, and three related to the sociocultural. Further, 14 of the issues were rated by the expert panel as having a significant level of impact if they were to occur. Recommendations are made based on the forecasts by the expert panel.
