the roland morris disability questionnaire and the oswestry disability questionnaire
Spine, 2000Co-Authors: Marti Roland, Jeremy FairbankAbstract:Condition-specific health status measures are commonly used as outcome measures in clinical trials and to assess patient progress in routine clinical practice. The expert panel that met to discuss this special issue of Spine recommended that, when possible, a condition-specific measure for back pain should be chosen from two widely used measures, the Roland–Morris Disability Questionnaire (RDQ) or the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI). These two measures have been used in a wide variety of situations over many years, and each is available in a number of languages. In this article, the authors describe these two instruments and provide evidence of their validity and reliability and some comparative results obtained with the use of the two Questionnaires. The instruments themselves are included in the appendixes. When used in the forms reproduced in the appendixes, no permission is required from the authors or from Spine. Other back pain–specific health status measures are described by Kopec elsewhere in this edition of Spine.

Psychometric Characteristics of Health-Related Quality-of-Life Questionnaires in Oropharyngeal Dysphagia
Dysphagia, 2014Co-Authors: Angelique A. Timmerman, Renee Speyer, Bas J Heijnen, Iris R. Klijn-zwijnenbergAbstract:Dysphagia can have severe consequences for the patient’s health, influencing health-related quality of life (HRQoL). Sound psychometric properties of HRQoL Questionnaires are a precondition for assessing the impact of dysphagia, the focus of this study, resulting in recommendations for the appropriate use of these Questionnaires in both clinical practice and research contexts. We performed a systematic review starting with a search for and retrieval of all full-text articles on the development of HRQoL Questionnaires related to oropharyngeal dysphagia and/or their psychometric validation from the electronic databases PubMed and Embase published up to June 2011. Psychometric properties were judged according to quality criteria proposed for health status Questionnaires. Eight Questionnaires were included in this study. Four are aimed solely at HRQoL in oropharyngeal dysphagia: the deglutition handicap index (DHI), dysphagia handicap index (DHI′), M.D. Anderson Dysphagia Inventory (MDADI), and SWAL-QOL, while the EDGQ, EORTC QLQ-STO 22, EORTC QLQ-OG 25 and EORTC QLQ-H&N35 focus on other primary diseases resulting in dysphagia. The psychometric properties of the DHI, DHI′, MDADI, and SWAL-QOL were evaluated. For appropriate applicability of HRQoL Questionnaires, strong scores on the psychometric criteria face validity, criterion validity, and interpretability are prerequisites. The SWAL-QOL has the strongest ratings for these criteria, while the DHI′ is the most easy to apply given its 25 items and the use of a uniform scoring format. For optimal use of HRQoL Questionnaires in diverse settings, it is necessary to combine psychometric and utility approaches.

24 item roland morris disability questionnaire was preferred out of six functional status Questionnaires for post lumbar disc surgery
Journal of Clinical Epidemiology, 2004Co-Authors: Raymond W J G Ostelo, Henrica C W De Vet, Dirk L Knol, Piet A Van Den BrandtAbstract:Objective: Measurement properties of Questionnaires should be based on samples of populations on whom these measurements will be used. The purpose of this study is to establish an evidence based recommendation regarding the use of functional status Questionnaires in patients following a lumbar disc surgery by a direct comparison of the reproducibility and responsiveness. Study Design and Setting: The measurement properties of six functional status Questionnaires were assessed: 1) Roland-Morris Disability Questionnaire (RDQ-24), 2) Modified Roland-Morris Disability Questionnaire (MRDQ), 3) short Roland-Morris Disability Questionnaire (RM-18), 4) Physical Functioning scale, 5) Role Limitations-Physical scale of the SF-36, and 6) The Main Complaint (MC). Subjects (n 97) that still suffered residual complaints 6 weeks following a lumbar disc surgery completed the Questionnaires before and 3 months after treatment. In a direct comparison the A) The test-retest reproducibility (Intraclass Correlation Coefficients [ICC] and the Standard Error of Measurement [SEM]) and B) 3 parameters of responsiveness (Minimal Detectable Change [MDC], Standardised Response Mean [SRM], and the Area Under the receiver operator characteristic Curve [AUC]) were assessed. Results: This study suggests the superiority of the 3 versions of the RDQ compared to the 3 other Questionnaires. Comparing the 3 versions of the RDQ reveals no substantial differences thereby indicating that the 2 modified version of the RDQ hold no better measurement properties in this specific population. Conclusion: The use of the RDQ-24 for this specific post-surgery population is suggested. The optimal cut-off point of the RDQ-24 that minimizes the overall classification error was found to be 3.5 with a sensitivity of 94.6% and a specificity of 88.2%. 2004 Elsevier

psychometric properties of Questionnaires on functional health status in oropharyngeal dysphagia a systematic literature review
BioMed Research International, 2014Co-Authors: Renee Speyer, Reinie Cordier, Berit Kertscher, Bas J HeijnenAbstract:Introduction. Questionnaires on Functional Health Status (FHS) are part of the assessment of oropharyngeal dysphagia. Objective. To conduct a systematic review of the literature on the psychometric properties of English-language FHS Questionnaires in adults with oropharyngeal dysphagia. Methods. A systematic search was performed using the electronic databases Pubmed and Embase. The psychometric properties of the Questionnaires were determined based on the COSMIN taxonomy of measurement properties and definitions for health-related patient-reported outcomes and the COSMIN checklist using preset psychometric criteria. Results. Three Questionnaires were included: the Eating Assessment Tool (EAT-10), the Swallowing Outcome after Laryngectomy (SOAL), and the Self-report Symptom Inventory. The Sydney Swallow Questionnaire (SSQ) proved to be identical to the Modified Self-report Symptom Inventory. All FHS Questionnaires obtained poor overall methodological quality scores for most measurement properties. Conclusions. The retrieved FHS Questionnaires need psychometric reevaluation; if the overall methodological quality shows satisfactory improvement on most measurement properties, the use of the Questionnaires in daily clinic and research can be justified. However, in case of insufficient validity and/or reliability scores, new FHS Questionnaires need to be developed using and reporting on preestablished psychometric criteria as recommended in literature.
