介绍和目的：使用电子问卷收集与健康有关的生活质量数据已逐渐成为纸质问卷的替代方法。对于可与经验证的纸质调查问卷互换使用的电子调查问卷，必须证明与原始调查问卷相似的测量属性。本研究的目的是评估甲状腺相关生活质量问卷ThyPRO的纸质版和电子版之间的等效性。方法：Graves'甲亢或自身免疫性甲状腺功能减退症患者在临床稳定期。这些患者是从两个内分泌门诊中心招募的。所有患者均在随机测试-重测设置中完成两个版本。使用组内相关系数（ICC）、配对t检验和Bland-Altman图比较评分。协议的限制进行了比较，从以前的纸纸测试重测研究的数据。结果：共纳入104例患者。13个比额表的国际核心竞争力普遍较高，从0.76到0.95不等。对于化妆品投诉量表，纸质和电子管理之间的量表评分存在微小但显著的差异，但未发现任何其他量表的差异。Bland-Altman图显示与早期纸质版ThyPRO的重测研究相似的一致性限度。结论：基于我们使用ICC、配对t检验和Bland-Altman图的分析，我们发现纸质问卷和电子问卷之间存在足够的一致性。在化妆品投诉量表中发现的评分的统计学显著差异很小，可能在临床上不显著。(C)2016年欧洲甲状腺协会发表的S。Karger AG，巴塞尔
Introduction and Purpose: Use of electronic questionnaires to collect health-related quality-of-life data has evolved as an alternative to paper questionnaires. For the electronic questionnaire to be used interchangeably with the validated paper questionnaire, measurement properties similar to the original must be demonstrated. The aim of the present study was to assess the equivalence between the paper version and the electronic version of the thyroid-related quality-of-life questionnaire ThyPRO. Methods: Patients with Graves' hyperthyroidism or autoimmune hypothyroidism in a clinically stable phase were included. The patients were recruited from two endocrine outpatient centers. All patients completed both versions in a randomized test-retest set-up. Scores were compared using intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs), paired t tests and Bland-Altman plots. Limits of agreement were compared with data from a previous paper-paper test-retest study. Results: 104 patients were included. ICCs were generally high for the 13 scales, ranging from 0.76 to 0.95. There was a small but significant difference in the scale score between paper and electronic administration for the Cosmetic complaints scale, but no differences were found for any other scale. Bland- Altman plots showed similar limits of agreement compared to the earlier test-retest study of the paper version of ThyPRO. Conclusion: Based on our analyses using ICCs, paired t tests and Bland-Altman plots, we found adequate agreement between the paper and electronic questionnaires. The statistically significant difference in score found in the Cosmetic complaints scale is small and probably clinically insignificant. (C) 2016 European Thyroid Association Published by S.
