Evaluation of QOL Instruments for Palliative Care Michael A. Echteld

Overview The importance of instruments Evaluation of QoL measures for use in palliative care: a systematic review Recommendations For practice For research For policy

The importance of instruments Palliative care is a young discipline Development of scientific evidence and care policy are of central importance Development, evaluation and use of QoL instruments is essential An exhaustive overview of QoL instruments suitable for use in palliative care is lacking

Evaluation of QoL measures for use in palliative care Aims: Indicating which QoL dimensions are relevant for palliative care Show which instruments are available for the measurement of these dimensions Determine their clinimetric quality Methods: Literature review showing relevant QoL dimensions Systematic review showing instruments measuring QoL dimensions

Dimensions of QoL Review on palliative care studies on QoL framework The content of QoL instruments Patient responses on content of QoL QoL framework Physical comfort (Physical) functioning Cognitive functioning Psychological well-being Social well-being Spiritual well-being Perceived quality of care

Overview and clinimetric quality of QoL instruments: Methods Systematic review inclusion criteria: Development or validation of an instrument Instrument should measure at least one domain of QoL Evaluation of at least one measurement property in a palliative care population Validation on English or Dutch language setting Patient outcomes only Clinimetric evaluation using an internationally accepted strategy

Overview and clinimetric quality of QoL instruments: Characteristics 2015 references found, 36 studies included, 29 instruments evaluated Most instruments generic (not disease- specific) # items varies (8-138) Completion time varies (2m-3h) Most instruments are self-report instruments

Overview and clinimetric quality of QoL instruments: Content No instrument measured all framework domains Few instruments measure cognitive functioning (1), overall QoL (2), perceived quality of care (7) Unexpected high number of instruments measuring spiritual well-being (15)

Overview and clinimetric quality of QoL instruments: Clinimetrics # evaluated measurement properties is low E.g., responsiveness evaluated in 28% of the instruments, none positive None of the instruments were evaluated using all measurement properties Many measurements properties were not properly tested

Conclusions The study results will help with the choice of an instrument All instruments were used in palliative care populations Information on content, usability and quality Individual instruments cannot be recommended, because clinimetric testing is incomplete The label ‘validated’ has its limitations No instrument measures all relevant domains

Recommendations Limit the developments of new instruments Co-ordination is required Translations Further validation of instruments Designating a core set of instruments Benefits of co-ordination Better quality of clinimetric testing Clear message to users facing the choice of instruments Research collaboration opportunities Better comparability of outcomes No new instruments should be developed if instruments already exist that measure similar concepts
