The COPD-SIB: a newly developed disease-specific item bank to measure health-related quality of life in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

Abstract: BackgroundHealth-related quality of life (HRQoL) is widely used as an outcome measure in the evaluation of treatment interventions in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). In order to address challenges associated with existing fixed-length measures (e.g., too long to be used routinely, too short to ensure both content validity and reliability), a COPD-specific item bank (COPD-SIB) was developed.MethodsItems were selected based on literature review and interviews with Dutch COPD patients,… Show more

“…IRT is an increasingly applied methodology that lends itself to parametric tests, providing an evidence base for reusing questions that can be used to distinguish traits of interest [16, 18, 30]. This study supports the use of IRT methodology in optimising questions within healthcare surveys to predict patient outcomes.…”

“…This method allows more flexibility because the selection of questions depends on a patient's response to previous items [ 45 ]. A CAT for assessing HRQoL in COPD patients has been developed by P aap et al [ 46 ].…”
