DEMQOL and DEMQOL-Proxy: a Rasch analysis
BACKGROUND DEMQOL and DEMQOL-Proxy are widely used patient reported outcome measures (PROMs) of health related quality of life in people with dementia (PWD). Growing interest in routine use of PROMs in health care calls for more robust instruments that are potentially fit for reliable and valid comparisons at the micro-level (patients) and meso-level (clinics, hospitals, care homes). METHODS ...
متن کاملDevelopment of DEMQOL-U and DEMQOL-PROXY-U: generation of preference-based indices from DEMQOL and DEMQOL-PROXY for use in economic evaluation.
BACKGROUND Dementia is one of the most common and serious disorders in later life and the economic and personal cost of caring for people with dementia is immense. There is a need to be able to evaluate interventions in dementia using cost-effectiveness analyses, but the generic preference-based measures typically used to measure effectiveness do not work well in dementia. Existing dementia-spe...
متن کاملImproving the measurement of QALYs in dementia: developing patient- and carer-reported health state classification systems using Rasch analysis.
OBJECTIVES Cost-utility analysis is increasingly used to inform resource allocation. This requires a means of valuing health states before and after intervention. Although generic measures are typically used to generate values, these do not perform well with people with dementia. We report the development of a health state classification system amenable to valuation for use in studies of dement...
متن کاملDevelopment of a new measure of health-related quality of life for people with dementia: DEMQOL.
BACKGROUND We identified the need to develop a scientifically rigorous measure of health-related quality of life (HRQL) in dementia that would be appropriate for use at all stages of dementia severity and would be available in both self- and proxy-report versions. METHOD We used standard psychometric methods to eliminate items with poor psychometric properties (item-reduction field test) and ...
