“… To assess productivity a quantitative work productivity and activity impairment (WPAI) measure was used [10]. The instrument was developed in 1993 for use in clinical trials, tested for construct validity and reproducibility in 106 working individuals with diverse health problems (cardiovascular, musculoskeletal disorders, allergies and pain), and subsequently validated in several studies in different diseases [11–13]. The WPAI is a simple instrument with seven questions related to the time taken off work because of the specific health problem, other health problems or any other reason, hours worked at reduced productivity because of the specific health problem, and the effect of the problem on activities other than work.…”

for the study assessed in a structured interview. Controls (80) matched for age and gender were randomly selected from a market research panel and given the same interview. Both groups completed a productivity questionnaire, a generic quality-of-life questionnaire with a specific domain for vitality and a utility instrument. RESULTSThe study group with nocturia had a significantly lower level of vitality and utility, and greater impairment of work and activity, than the control group. Women were more affected than men. Symptom severity correlated with all three measures. CONCLUSIONSIn an otherwise healthy and professionally active group of individuals, waking at night to void significantly diminishes their overall well-being, vitality and productivity, leading to a significant level of indirect and intangible costs.

“…Productivity loss will be measured by the Work Productivity and Activity Impairment General Health (WPAI-GH) [70] assessing presence at the work place [71]. Construct validity and test-retest reliability of the WPAI-GH have been established [70, 72]. Participants will complete items pertaining to productivity loss due to their own and FCG also complete it due to the patient’s health.…”

Background Although the diagnosis and treatment of a primary brain tumor present unique challenges to patients and their family caregivers, evidence-based supportive care interventions are generally lacking. The primary aim of this research protocol is to determine the feasibility of implementing a dyadic yoga (DY) versus a caregiver yoga (CY) intervention or a wait-list control (WLC) group using a randomized controlled trial design. Methods Seventy-five glioma patients undergoing radiotherapy and their family caregivers are randomized to the DY, CY, or a WLC group. Patient-caregiver dyads in the DY group and caregivers in the CY group receive 15 sessions (45 min each) over the course of patients’ standard radiotherapy (6 weeks). Patients and caregivers in all groups complete baseline assessments of symptoms, quality of life (QOL), and health utilization outcomes prior to randomization. Follow-up assessments are performed 6 weeks and then again 3 months later. The primary outcome is feasibility (i.e., ≥ 50% of eligible dyads consent, ≥ 70% of enrolled dyads complete all assessments, and ≥ 50% of all practice sessions are attended). We will also perform primarily descriptive analyses of the self-reported outcomes (e.g., fatigue, overall QOL) and explore potential intervention moderators (e.g., performance status) to inform a larger future trial. Conclusion This trial will provide important information regarding the feasibility of a dyadic versus a caregiver yoga intervention regarding symptom, QOL, and health utilization outcomes in glioma patients and their caregivers.

“…Due to the potential impact on an individual's HRQL, measuring absenteeism and presenteeism for both paid employment and household chores simultaneously is imperative and should be included as an evaluation endpoint during clinical product development. Many generic productivity patient-reported outcome (PRO) questionnaires have been developed and used for similar purposes; the Work Productivity and Activity Impairment Questionnaire (WPAI) [9,10], Work Limitations Questionnaire (WLQ) [11][12][13][14], Health and Work Performance Questionnaire (HPQ) [15], Health and Work Questionnaire (HWQ) [16], Endicott Work Productivity Scale (EWPS) [17], Health and Labor Questionnaire (HLQ) [18]. However, none of the above measures capture absenteeism and presenteeism for both paid work and household chores with respect to percent of time and hours lost.…”

Objective: Endometriosis impacts health-related quality of life. The objective was to assess the validity and responsiveness of the Health-Related Productivity Questionnaire, version 2 (HRPQ). Methods: Outcome measures (Endometriosis Health Profile-30; pain scales; and global assessment) from Elaris Endometriosis I and II clinical trials (EM-I, EM-II) were used. Validity testing using Cohen's conventions was assessed. Known-groups validity was evaluated using generalized linear models comparing clinical responders, assessment of change, and the endometriosis impact. The effect size (ES) and standard error of means were calculated to evaluate responsiveness. Results: 871 and 815 women participated in the EM-I and EM-II trials. The total hours of lost work among employed women were 16.5 (±11.4) hours per week for EM-I and 15.2 (±11.3) for EM-II. The total hours of lost work among the household group were 8.3 (±8.7) hours for EM-I and 8.4 (±9.0) hours for EM-II. HRPQ discriminated between all known group assessments tested. Correlations for the HRPQ compared to other measures were small to moderate. Moderate to large ES was observed and the ability of the HRPQ to detect change was strong using patient-reported impressions. Conclusion: The HRPQ is a valid and responsive tool for evaluating patient-reported productivity at work and at home among women with endometriosis.
