“…Due to significant uncertainty and worry, the COVID-19 pandemic has worsened psychological wellness (26). In addition, persons encountered huge changes in their everyday lives, such as social isolation and home confinement, which dramatically reduced health-related quality of life (HRQoL) (27). In this context, earlier research has demonstrated that HRQoL has decreased as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.…”

“…In this context, earlier research has demonstrated that HRQoL has decreased as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. There has been increased attention on the psychological impact of disease both during and after discharge from the hospital in more recent publications (27)(28)(29). Post-acute COVID-19 patients in rehabilitation were still experiencing physical and psychological symptoms, and their HRQoL was significantly lower (27,30).…”

BackgroundSince it began in December 2019, the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak has not been completely contained. COVID-19 has attracted the interest of nations throughout the globe. The global coronavirus outbreak has had an especially devastating effect on otolaryngology. The virus is commonly associated with otorhinolaryngological symptoms. COVID-19 research is becoming more common in otorhinolaryngology. Although various studies on covid-19-related Otorhinolaryngology manifestations have been published, there has been no bibliometric analysis of these articles concentrating on COVID-19-related Otorhinolaryngology research.MethodsOriginal publications on Otolaryngological symptoms on COVID-19 were extracted from the Social Sciences Citation Index (SSCI) and the Science Citation Index-Expanded (SCI-E) databases in Clarivate Analytics' Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC) between January 2020 and May 2022. CiteSpace and VOSviewer were utilized to detect and assess the research focus and trends in this field by extracting the country/region, institution, author, journal, references, and keywords related to this topic.ResultsA total of 631 journals from 97 countries were included in the total of 1,528 articles. Most of the articles on this topic were published in the United States, which had the most citations and the highest H-index. Huazhong University of Science and Technology is the institution with the largest number of articles in the research of COVID-19-related Otorhinolaryngology diseases. Claire Hopkins was the most prolific author belonging to Guy's and St. Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust. Huang CL from Jin Yin-tan Hospital received the most citations among all authors. The most cited article was Clinical features of patients infected with 2019 novel coronavirus in Wuhan, China, which was created by Huang CL. Most of the studies relating to COVID-19 and Otorhinolaryngology diseases were published in the European Archives of Oto-Rhino-Laryngology.ConclusionCOVID-related research in the field of otorhinolaryngology has been studied in terms of descriptive quantitative metrics, which show that academics from around the world are working together to combat this pandemic.

“…In April 2020, our multilingual and multicultural research group, involving clinicians, psychometricians, statisticians, and HRQoL specialists, set out to develop a questionnaire to assess HRQoL and symptoms in patients with COVID-19, from diagnosis through active disease and recovery. The first two phases of the questionnaire development have been published [ 9 , 23 ]. In this paper, we present the next phase of the development process with pretesting of our provisional COVID-19 questionnaire and preliminary psychometric testing of the validity and reliability in an international sample of patients.…”

A multicenter international prospective study of the validity and reliability of a COVID-19-specific health-related quality of life questionnaire

Purpose To develop and validate a health-related quality of life (HRQoL) questionnaire for patients with current or previous coronavirus disease (COVID-19) in an international setting. Methods This multicenter international methodology study followed standardized guidelines for a four-phase questionnaire development. Here, we report on the pretesting and validation of our international questionnaire. Adults with current or previous COVID-19, in institutions or at home were eligible. In the pretesting, 54 participants completed the questionnaire followed by interviews to identify administration problems and evaluate content validity. Thereafter, 371 participants completed the revised questionnaire and a debriefing form to allow preliminary psychometric analysis. Validity and reliability were assessed (correlation-based methods, Cronbach’s α, and intra-class correlation coefficient). Results Eleven countries within and outside Europe enrolled patients. From the pretesting, 71 of the 80 original items fulfilled the criteria for item-retention. Most participants (80%) completed the revised 71-item questionnaire within 15 min, on paper (n = 175) or digitally (n = 196). The final questionnaire included 61 items that fulfilled criteria for item retention or were important to subgroups. Item-scale correlations were > 0.7 for all but nine items. Internal consistency (range 0.68–0.92) and test–retest results (all but one scale > 0.7) were acceptable. The instrument consists of 15 multi-item scales and six single items. Conclusion The Oslo COVID-19 QLQ-W61© is an international, stand-alone, multidimensional HRQoL questionnaire that can assess the symptoms, functioning, and overall quality of life in COVID-19 patients. It is available for use in research and clinical practice. Further psychometric validation in larger patient samples will be performed.

General population reference values for the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy‐Lung and PROMIS‐29

et al. 2023

Background Therapeutic advances in lung cancer have turned attention toward patient‐reported outcome measures (PROMs) as important clinical outcomes. The Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy‐Lung (FACT‐L) is a common endpoint in lung cancer trials. This study calculated FACT‐L reference values for the United States (US) general population. Methods Adults from the US general population (N = 2001) were surveyed between September 2020 and November 2020. Surveys contained 126 questions, including the FACT‐L [36 items; FACT‐G and four subscales (Physical Well‐Being [PWB], Social Well‐Being [SWB], Emotional Well‐Being [EWB], and Functional Well‐Being [FWB]) and the Lung Cancer Subscale (LCS), and a Trial Outcome Index (TOI)]. Reference values for each FACT‐L scale were calculated with means for the total sample and separately for participants with: no comorbidities, COVID‐19 as only comorbidity, no COVID‐19. Results In the total sample, the reference scores were as follows: PWB = 23.1; SWB = 16.8; EWB = 18.5; FWB = 17.6; FACT‐G = 76.0; LCS = 23.0, TOI = 63.7, and FACT‐L Total = 99.0. Scores were lower for those reporting a prior diagnosis of COVID‐19, especially for SWB (15.7) and FWB (15.3). SWB scores were lower than previous references values. Conclusions These data provide US general adult population reference value set for FACT‐L. While some of the subscale results were lower than those found in the reference data for other PROMs, these data were obtained in a more contemporaneous time frame juxtaposed with the COVID‐19 pandemic and may represent a new peri‐pandemic norm. Thus, these reference values will be useful for future clinical research.
