Background:Many changes have been made in different sciences by developing and advancing information and communication technology in last two decades. E-health is a very broad term that includes many different activities related to the use of electronic devices, software as well as hardware in health organizations.Aims:The aim of this study is comparing electronic health indicators in the selected countries and discussion on the best indicators.Settings and Design:This study has chosen 12 countries randomly based on the regional division of the WHO. The relevant numbers of health indicators and general indicators and information technology indicators are extracted of these countries. We use data from the Bitarf's comparative study, which is conducted by the Iranian Supreme Council of Information Technology in 2007.Materials and Methods:By using Pearson correlation test, the relations between health general indicators and IT indicators are studied.Statistical Analysis Used:Data was analyzed based on the research objectives using SPSS software and in accordance with research questions Pearson correlation test were used.Results:The findings show that there is a positive relation between indicators related to IT and “Total per capita health, healthy life expectancy, percent literacy”. Furthermore, there is a mutual relation between IT indicators and “mortality indicator”.Conclusion:This study showed differences between selective indicators among different countries. The modern world, with its technological advances, is not powerless in the face of these geographic and health disparity challenges. Researchers must not rely on the available indicators. They must consider indicators like e-business companies, electronic data internet, medical supplies, health electronic record, health information system, etc., In future, continuous studies in this field, to provide the exact and regular reports of amount of using of these indicators through different countries must be necessary.

SummaryBtickgmuncl: Available coronary artery disease (CAD)-specific health-related quality-of-life (HRQL) measures are not ideally suited for routine clinical practice. We report development of a valid and reliable CAD-specific short-form measure.Hypothesis: The Integrated Therapeutics Group (ITG) CAD-specific short-form HRQL measure is reliable and valid for assessing the health status of patients with CAD.Mer/zad.y: In all, 409 patients (mean age 62.4 years) completed the 24-item CAD-specific HRQL questionnaire. Factor analysis was used to identify the scaling of the 24 CADspecific items. Analysis of variance was used to reduce the number of items within each scale, and reliability (Cronbach's a), discriminant validity, and ceiling and floor effects of shortform scales were evaluated. Short-form scales were compared with the longer scales using relative validity coefticients. The CAD severity was assessed using New York Heart Association criteria, physician assessment, electrocardiogram results, the number of myocardial infarctions, and the number of CAD-specific medications. Clinical validity of short-form scales was then asessed based on their ability to discriminate across severity levels of these clinical criteria. Resufrs: Four scales were identified: Extent of Chest Pain, Functioning and Well-Being, Activities Level-Physical, and Activities Level-Social. The 24-item questionnaire was reduced to a 13-item short form, with reliability exceeding 0.70 for all four scales. Relative validity estimates comparing shortform to original scales ranged from 0.68 to 2.58. Mean scores varied significantly (p < 0.05) by clinical severity, supporting the discriminant validity of the ITG CAD short-form scales. Conclusions:The ITG CAD short form (used alone or with a general HRQL measure) is valid and practical for assessing patients with CAD.
