4 Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQoL) Healthcare moving to a pay-for-performance era Cost effectiveness Evidence-based treatment Outcomes measured by objective data (demographics, clinical data, operative data) Outcomes should also include subjective measures like health-related quality of life xxx00.#####.ppt 7/18/2017 7:16:01 AM

5 Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQoL) xxx00.#####.ppt 7/18/2017 7:16:01 AM

6 Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQoL) Engel class outcome measures Patients also suffer from the psychosocial implications of their condition Sexual function? Driving? Swimming/bathing alone? xxx00.#####.ppt 7/18/2017 7:16:01 AM

7 Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQoL) Many scales are regularly used in adults which have been validated across institutions and populations HRQoL tools may help identify patients at risk for social adjustment and competency issues in the future. Many scales are used and modified Standardized, validated instruments for evaluating pediatric HRQoL are lacking xxx00.#####.ppt 7/18/2017 7:16:01 AM

8 HRQoL Peds HRQoL ` How to measure HRQoL? Evaluating QoL Measures Specific examples Conclusions xxx00.#####.ppt 7/18/2017 7:16:02 AM

9 Pediatric HRQoL 46 scales used for pediatric HRQoL from Most general and broad while some are neurosurgery-specific Use in pediatrics has been steadily increasing Used less frequently in pediatric neurosurgery and use is not increasing relative to other areas xxx00.#####.ppt 7/18/2017 7:16:02 AM

10 Pediatric HRQoL No standardization for different clinical settings Literature generally incorporates multiple instruments, often custom-designed and unvalidated Many tools in use today are a subjective measure of outcomes based on parent reporting xxx00.#####.ppt 7/18/2017 7:16:02 AM

11 HRQoL Peds HRQoL How to measure HRQoL? ` Evaluating QoL Measures Specific examples Conclusions xxx00.#####.ppt 7/18/2017 7:16:02 AM

12 General vs Disease-Specific Measures General Results can be compared across demographics or populations Lack the sensitivity to detect disease-specific impairments Disease-specific Detect subtle changes Unique, cannot be compared to other measures xxx00.#####.ppt 7/18/2017 7:16:02 AM

13 How to Measure QoL? No consensus on the definition of quality of life WHO: the individual s perception of their position in life, in the context of culture and value systems in which they live and in relation to their goals, expectations, standards and concerns xxx00.#####.ppt 7/18/2017 7:16:02 AM

14 How to Measure HRQoL? HRQoL with a similarly nebulous definition: a rubric, encompassing various aspects of personal experience, including physical and psychological health, cognitive factors, social role performance, and general life satisfaction xxx00.#####.ppt 7/18/2017 7:16:02 AM

16 Evaluating QoL Measures Adaptations for quality of life measures Reliability, validity, ease of interpretation and ease of administration Internal reliability Test-retest reliability Inter-rater reliability Responsiveness to change xxx00.#####.ppt 7/18/2017 7:16:04 AM

17 Evaluating QoL Measures Validity Content validity: the instrument samples all the relevant and important domains in question Face validity: patient s perception of the items, and their experience while completing the items Concurrent/criterion validity: how the instrument compares to the gold standard Construct validity: whether the test measures what it is intended to measure xxx00.#####.ppt 7/18/2017 7:16:04 AM

18 Limitations Differences in parents and children s responses Limited availability of measures with components for the child to complete Nature of disease limits ability to respond Many scales exist, but are often customized to the diagnosis and have not been validated across populations and conditions xxx00.#####.ppt 7/18/2017 7:16:04 AM

36 Future Directions Measures which currently exist need further investigation and standardization Pediatric neurosurgery should prioritize the use of HRQoL and implementing its role in patient care Implementing new outcome measures can be challenging, but by increasing use it will soon become as familiar as a GCS or cranial nerve exam xxx00.#####.ppt 7/18/2017 7:16:06 AM
