“…Participants included males and females with a mean age of participants with a schizophrenia spectrum disorder, reported in 21 of the 33 studies, ranging between 20.3 and 57.9 years. 48,68,[70][71][72][73][75][76][77][78][79][80]82,84,86,[88][89][90][91]94,95 All studies obtained HRQoL information from patients; seven of these studies compared patient HRQoL values with published general population 'normative' values, [70][71][72][73][74][75][76] three compared HRQoL values with normal comparison participants that were recruited to the study [77][78][79] and two used 'norms' from healthy participants who had taken part in large surveys.…”

Similar findings exist for the EQ-5D, with mixed evidence for the properties of convergent validity and responsiveness.…”

HTA programmeThe HTA programme, part of the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR), was set up in 1993. It produces high-quality research information on the effectiveness, costs and broader impact of health technologies for those who use, manage and provide care in the NHS. 'Health technologies' are broadly defined as all interventions used to promote health, prevent and treat disease, and improve rehabilitation and long-term care.The journal is indexed in NHS Evidence via its abstracts included in MEDLINE and its Technology Assessment Reports inform National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) guidance. HTA research is also an important source of evidence for National Screening Committee (NSC) policy decisions. To strengthen the evidence base for health research, the MRP oversees and implements the evolving strategy for high quality methodological research. In addition to the MRC and NIHR funding partners, the MRP takes into account the needs of other stakeholders including the devolved administrations, industry R&D, and regulatory/advisory agencies and other public bodies. The MRP funds investigator-led and needsled research proposals from across the UK. In addition to the standard MRC and RCUK terms and conditions, projects commissioned/managed by the MRP are expected to provide a detailed report on the research findings and may publish the findings in the HTA journal, if supported by NIHR funds.The authors have been wholly responsible for all data collection, analysis and interpretation, and for writing up their work. The HTA editors and publisher have tried to ensure the accuracy o...

“…Lower everyday functioning capacity and greater severity of positive, negative, and depressive symptoms have been associated with worse QOL (Hofer et al, 2005b;Norman et al, 2000;Palmer et al, 2002;Sciolla et al, 2003;Corrigan & Buican, 1995;Jin et al, 2001;Ruggeri et al, 2005;Twamley et al, 2002). Although such psychiatric symptoms have been associated with subjective measures of QOL (Hofer et al, 2005b;Ruggeri et al, 2005;Norman et al, 2000;Corrigan and Buican, 1995), symptom reductions alone often do not result in meaningful improvements in QOL because other problems remain (e.g., difficulty with everyday functioning, lack of social contacts, unemployment, and stigmatization).…”

“…Indicators of objective QOL include living situation, marital status, employment status, driving status, and involvement in social activities. Generally, patients with less severe psychiatric symptoms and better cognitive performance report better outcomes on objective QOL indicators (Hofer et al, 2005b;Palmer et al, 2002;Sciolla et al, 2003;Jin et al, 2001;Ruggeri et al, 2005). Performance-based functional capacity also has been found to predict objective QOL, particularly in terms of driving and living independence Twamley et al, 2002).…”

Objective-Quality of life (QOL) is considered an important outcome in the treatment of schizophrenia, but the determinants of QOL are poorly understood in this population. Furthermore, previous studies have relied on combined measures of subjective QOL (usually defined as life satisfaction) and objective QOL (usually defined as participation in activities and relationships). We examined separately the clinical, functional, and cognitive predictors of subjective and objective QOL in outpatients with schizophrenia. We hypothesized that better subjective QOL would be associated with less severe negative and depressive symptoms, better objective QOL, and greater everyday functioning capacity, and that better objective QOL would be associated with less severe negative and depressive symptoms, better cognitive performance, and greater functional capacity.Method-Participants included 88 outpatients with schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder who completed a comprehensive series of assessments, including measures of positive, negative, and depressive symptoms; performance-based functional skills; a neuropsychological battery; and an interview measure of subjective and objective QOL.Results-In the context of multiple predictor variables, more severe depressive symptoms and better neuropsychological functioning were independent predictors of worse subjective QOL. More severe negative symptoms predicted worse objective QOL. Functional capacity variables were not associated with subjective or objective QOL.Conclusion-Treatments to improve QOL in schizophrenia should focus on negative symptoms and depressive symptoms.

“…It has been extensively validated against factors such as work capacity, disease symptoms, use of care services and measures of mental health [38]. The SF-36 has been most commonly used to determine: 1) the patients' point of view or an outcome in relation to an intervention on a particular condition (before and after studies) [39]; or 2) the effect of a condition on HRQoL [40]. The instrument has also been used as a multidimensional measure of healthy ageing [41].…”

Respiratory function is known to be associated with mortality. However, its association with health related quality of life (HRQoL) has not yet been examined.A population-based cross sectional study was conducted in 16,738 subjects aged 40-79 yrs and resident in Norfolk, to examine the association between forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) and HRQoL measured by the 36-item short form questionnaire.Individuals who were in the highest quintiles of FEV1 were more likely to report good physical functional health (odds ratio (OR) 1.60; 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.28-2.01 and OR 1.71; 95% CI 1.40-2.10 for males and females, respectively) controlling for age, height, weight or body mass index, smoking, physical activity, prevalent illness and social class. Being in the highest quintile for FEV1 was associated with significantly lower likelihood of poor self-reported mental functional health status in males (OR 0.78; 95% CI 0.61-0.99), but not in females (OR 1.00; 95% CI 0.82-1.22).In conclusion, forced expiratory volume in one second independently predicts self perceived physical well being in a general population across the whole normal distribution of respiratory function.
