作为临床试验或纵向研究中使用的健康状况问卷变化评分计算的替代方法，已开发出过渡性问题，供患者自己直接评估变化。在这里，原始的健康评估问卷（HAQ）与修改后的HAQ（MHAQ），其中包含在随访中使用的过渡问题进行了比较。100名类风湿性关节炎患者分别在两个场合（相隔三个月）完成了这些测试，以及一组标准的流变学测试。计算HAQ和临床指标的变化评分，并与MHAQ进行比较。结果是惊人的支持，鼓励患者通过使用过渡问题的MHAQ来评估自己的变化程度。
As an alternative to the calculation of change scores for health status questionnaires used in clinical trials or longitudinal studies, transitional questions have been developed for patients to assess changes directly themselves. Here the original Health Assessment Questionnaire (HAQ) is compared with a modified version of the HAQ (MHAQ) which contains transition questions used at follow up. These, together with a set of standard rheumatological tests, were all completed by 100 patients with rheumatoid arthritis on two occasions, three months apart. Change scores were calculated for the HAQ and for the clinical measures and compared with the MHAQ. The results were strikingly in favour of encouraging patients to assess their own degree of change through the use of transition questions in the MHAQ.
