“…In the general population, where the mean and standard deviation of the SF-12 are 50 and 10, respectively, this translates to a difference of 5 units [42] . A second metric uses a standardized mean response (SMR), calculated as the mean difference divided by the SD of the mean, to assess the clinical importance of a HRQoL score change [43] . An SMR between 0.2 and 0.49 characterizes a small, 0.5-0.79, a moderate, and 0.8 and above a large change in QoL.…”

Introduction:The purpose of the study is to determine if functional status and quality of life (QoL) vary with glomerular filtration rate (GFR) among older adults. Methods: We studied adults aged 45 years and older participating in the REasons for Geographic And Racial Differences in Stroke ( REGARDS) cohort study. Data included demographic and health information, serum creatinine and hemoglobin, the 4-item Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale

“…A criticism of the SF-12 is that it allows only the calculations of the summary scales but not of the subscales. The summary scales may conceal important information contained in the subscales of the SF-36 [Rubenach et al, 2002]. Investigators must trade off between the additional information of the subscales and longer questionnaires or interviews.…”

The relationship between quality of life and levels of hopelessness and depression in palliative care

There is growing interest in the psychological distress and quality of life of cancer patients. The aim of this study was to compare the responses of 102 advanced cancer patients on a quality of life scale (as measured by the SF12) with the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) and the Beck Hopelessness Scale (BHS), as well as the impact of depression and hopelessness on quality of life. Significant associations were found between gender (P=.027), performance status (P=.003), opioids (P=.002), depression (P<.0005), and hopelessness (P<.0005) with the SF12-Mental Component Score (MCS). Gender (P=.07), metastasis (P=.001), opioids (P=.0005), and education (P=.045) correlated significantly with SF12-Physical Component Score (PCS). In the prediction of MCS, the dimensions of age, hopelessness, gender, and performance status were statistically significantly high (P<.0005), explaining 48% of variance. For PCS, the predictor variables were education, metastasis, and opioids (25% of variance). Quality of life, in this patient population, was predicted by the level of hopelessness and patients' demographic and clinical characteristics.

“…There is no consensus on which is the most appropriate index. We chose the SRM as it is one of the most commonly used indices of responsiveness and takes the variation of change into account [23][24][25] . The SRM is calculated by dividing the mean change in scores by the standard deviation of change.…”

“…A number of studies have investigated responsiveness to change of the SF-12 in other diseases than cerebrovascular disease such as rheumatoid arthritis [24] , epilepsy [25] , low back pain [29] or coronary heart disease [23,30] . Responsiveness to change of the SF-12 summary scales was small to moderate in most studies [23][24][25]30] . Responsiveness to change was similar [25,29,30] or slightly reduced [24] when comparing the SF-12 to the SF-36 summary scales.…”

The 36-item short-form health survey (SF-36) is one of the most commonly used health status instruments in patients with cerebrovascular disease. However, responsiveness to change in health-related quality of life (HRQoL) has not yet been assessed for the SF-36 and its shortened version, the SF-12. The main objective of the present study was to determine responsiveness to change of the SF-12 in patients with cerebrovascular disease. Patients with stroke/transient ischaemic attack (TIA) were included at admission to one of four participating hospitals. HRQoL was assessed with the Physical (PCS-12) and Mental (MCS-12) Component Summary scales at baseline (referring to the status prior to the event) and after 12 months. Responsiveness to change was determined with the standardized response mean (SRM) and classified as small (SRM 0.20–0.49), moderate (0.50–0.79) or large (≧0.80). A total of 558 patients were included [55% men, mean age 65 (SD, 13) years; 45% women, mean age 69 (SD, 14) years]. Indications for admission were stroke (74%) and TIA (26%). In patients with stroke, SRMs were small for the PCS-12 [SRM 0.49; absolute change –5.9 (SD, 12)] and moderate for the MCS-12 [SRM 0.52; absolute change –6.6 (SD, 13)]. In patients with TIA, SRMs were below 0.2 for the PCS-12 [absolute change –0.7 (SD, 11)] and small for the MCS-12 [SRM 0.34; absolute change –3.7 (SD, 11)]. SRMs increased with stroke severity as indicated by the NIHSS score. The SF-12 summary scales showed a small to moderate responsiveness to change in patients after stroke. Responsiveness to change was higher in patients with increased symptom severity.
