Retrospective evaluation versus population norms for the measurement of baseline health status

Abstract: BackgroundPatient recall or the application of population norms are commonly used methods to estimate (unobservable) health status prior to acute-onset illness or injury; however, both measures are potentially subject to bias. This article reports tests of the validity of both approaches, and discusses the implications for reporting changes in health-related quality of life following acute-onset illness or injury.MethodsRecalled pre-injury health status and health status at 5- and 12-months post-injury were co… Show more

“…For example, the severity of anatomical injury (a measure of threat to life) may simply be insufficient as a predictor of wellbeing among those who survive an injury event (van Delft-Schreurs et al, 2014). Elsewhere, we have reported the severity of anatomical injury does not necessarily predict disability burden among survivors of injury events Wilson et al, 2012). A further reason suggested by Jones and colleagues (2011) is that more severely injured individuals receive higher levels of services and support that limit the negative effects of injury severity.…”

“…A further limitation could be a bias in participants' over-rating their pre-injury health status. However, such bias in our cohort was analysed by Wilson et al (2012), who reported that although there was over-rating of pre-injury status, this appears to be minimal. Finally, the majority of participants were in paid employment at the time of their injury, therefore findings cannot be generalised to retired populations or to those not in paid employment.…”

“…Wilson and colleagues [46] compared the use of retrospective recall of baseline health status versus population norms (New Zealand) in estimating change in health state valuations following acute-onset illness or injury. Their findings indicate a small but significant difference between pre-and post-injury health-related quality of life for people who had fully recovered, with recalled pre-injury health-related quality of life being higher than reported post-injury health.…”

“…Also, many of the pre-injury variables adjusted for are not subjective, and analysis of data from POIS examining recall bias for the EQ-5D health status measure suggests that any recall bias is, at-worst, mild. 44 Although 239 Pacific peoples were recruited to POIS, the study may also be underpowered to detect differences in relative risks of certain outcomes where in truth such differences exist. It is important to note that the comparison group includes all non-Pacific participants, including a greater proportion of people also reporting Māori ethnicity (15% of Pacific peoples reported Māori ethnicity; compared to 20% of non-Pacific people).…”
