5. Quality of Life
QOL has a wide range of contexts, including the fields of
International development,
Healthcare,
Politics and employment.
It is important not to mix up the concept of QOL with a more recent
growing area of health related QOL (HRQOL).
Bottomley, Andrew (2002). "The Cancer Patient and Quality of Life“. The Oncologist. 7 (2): 120–125.
6. What is health-related quality of life?
The concept have evolved since the 1980s
To encompass the aspects of overall quality of life that can be
clearly shown to affect health - either physical or mental at levels of
On the individual level
Includes physical and mental health perceptions (e.g., Energy level, mood) correlating with
Health risks and conditions, functional status, social support, and socioeconomic status
At the community level
Community-level resources, conditions, policies, and practices that influence a population’s health
perceptions and functional status
7. HRQoL
Its part of a person’s overall quality of life that “
represents the functional effect of an illness and its
consequent therapy upon a patient, as perceived by
the patient .
Raskati KL. Essential of Pharmacoeconomic. 2nd edition. Philadelphia: Wolters Kluwer Health;2013. p132
8. Quality of life and health related quality of life – is
there a difference?
Quality of life and HRQoL are used interchangeably in the literature but
each has its own meaning.
QoL is a broader concept which covers all aspects of life
HRQoL has a focus on the effects of illness and specifically on the impact
treatment may have on QoL
QoL is therefore broader than HRQoL because it includes evaluation of
non-health related features of life whereas HRQoL is connected to an
individual’s health or disease status
HRQoL can help us understand the distinction between aspects of life
related to health.
QoL can help us understand those aspects of life that extend beyond
health such as education and the social environment
9. The importance of HRQoL
Detect undiagnosed or undetected diseases such as depression
Over all impact of diseases and their treatment
Represent a patient’s estimation of his/her own health at a point
To determine the burden of
preventable disease,
injuries, and disabilities,
Can provide valuable new insights into the relationships between HRQoL and
risk factors.

• Aim to cover the complete spectrum of function, disability
and distress of the patient.
• Applicable to variety of populations.
• Measures HRQoL among various general groups.

(MOS-SF)
Is a multipurpose survey of general or generic health status
SF-36
Useful in comparisons of relative burden of different diseases
Useful in estimating the relative benefits of different treatment.
The SF-36 assesses health-related quality of life in 8 areas: 1) limitations in
physical activities because of health problems; 2) limitations in social activities
because of physical or emotional problems; 3) limitations in usual role activities
because of physical health problems; 4) bodily pain; 5) general mental health; 6)
limitations in usual role activities because of emotional problems; 7) vitality
(energy and fatigue); and 8) general health perceptions.

19. Disease specific instrument
Provides greater detail concerning particular outcomes in term of
functioning and well being associated with a disease condition and its
treatment
It covers specific disease, specific population or specific function.

21. Other types of instruments
Dimension specific e.g. Physical Activity Index (PAI)
Region/site specific e.g. Cambridge Pulmonary Hypertension Outcome
Review (CAMPHOR)
Individualized (instruments in which the respondent is allowed to select
issues, concerns or domains of personal concern that are not
predetermined by the investigator's list of questionnaire items) e.g.
Schedule for the Evaluation of Individual Quality of Life (SEIQoL)
Utility measures (considered as generic type but with one particular form
of numerical evaluation of healthiness) e.g. Utility measure for major,
unipolar depression (McSad)
Summary items e.g. questions (regarding limiting enduring illness) in
General Household Survey

22. Domains of health status
Four essential domains should be included in all HRQoL instruments:
Physical functioning
Psychological functioning
Social functioning
General health perception
Raskati KL. Essential of Pharmacoeconomic. 2nd edition. Philadelphia: Wolters Kluwer Health;2013. p136-138
23. Ideal Properties of HRQoL Instruments
It should be specific to the concept being measured..
It should contain optimum number of items.
It should have easy and specific measurement properties i.e. use of the
scales which is easiest for the intended population to understand.
It should maintain the confidentiality of the patient.
It should be reproducible

2011;2(4):137-44

of life
Deshpande PR, Rajan S, Sudeepthi B L, Abdul Nazir C P. Patient-reported outcomes: A new era in clinical research. Perspect Clin Res
2011;2(4):137-44
26. Reliability
Refer to the consistency of an instrument.
Does the instrument produce the same score on multiple
administration?
Test-retest
Internal consistency
Interrater reliability
Raskati KL. Essential of Pharmacoeconomic. 2nd edition. Philadelphia: Wolters Kluwer Health;2013. p138-140
27. validity
Refer to the extent to which differences in patient scores reflect the
differences among individuals that the test developer sought to measure
Purpose: whether the instrument is actually measuring what it is supposed
to be measuring.
For an instrument to be valid, it must first be reliable
If researchers do not get reliable results upon readministration, they
cannot assess whether these results actually measure the underlying
concept
Content validity
Criterion validity
Construct validity
Raskati KL. Essential of Pharmacoeconomic. 2nd edition. Philadelphia: Wolters Kluwer Health;2013. p138-140
28. Responsiveness
Refer to its ability to detect changes in health status
For instance if there is an instrument which is determining the quality of
life of breast cancer patient, then it should be able to predict the quality of
life after the treatment. The quality of life score should be able to predict
the improvement/stability in condition/worsening

In medical practice
Improving the doctor-patient relationship
Assessing the effectiveness and relative merits of different treatments
Health services evaluation
In research
In policy making
