目的：最近，越来越多的系统评价被发表，其中比较了健康状况问卷的测量特性。为了进行有意义的比较，需要测量属性的质量标准。我们的目标是为健康状况问卷的开发和评估的研究设计、方法和结果制定质量标准。研究设计和设置：内容有效性、内部一致性、标准有效性、结构有效性、再现性、纵向有效性、响应性、下限和上限效应以及可解释性的质量标准源自我们研究小组内现有的指南和共识。结果：对于每个测量属性， 标准被定义为积极、消极或不确定的评级，具体取决于验证研究的设计、方法和结果。结论：我们的标准为定义健康状况问卷测量属性的明确质量标准做出了重大贡献。我们的标准可用于健康状况调查问卷的系统审查，以发现测量属性知识的缺陷和差距，并设计验证研究。未来的挑战将是完善和完善标准并达成广泛共识，特别是在良好测量特性的质量标准方面。 (c) 2006 Elsevier Inc. 保留所有权利。
Objectives: Recently, an increasing number of systematic reviews have been published in which the measurement properties of health status questionnaires are compared. For a meaningful comparison, quality criteria for measurement properties are needed. Our aim was to develop quality criteria for design, methods, and outcomes of studies on the development and evaluation of health status questionnaires.Study Design and Setting: Quality criteria for content validity, internal consistency, criterion validity, construct validity, reproducibility, longitudinal validity, responsiveness, floor and ceiling effects, and interpretability were derived from existing guidelines and consensus within our research group.Results: For each measurement property a criterion was defined for a positive, negative, or indeterminate rating, depending on the design, methods, and outcomes of the validation study.Conclusion: Our criteria make a substantial contribution toward defining explicit quality criteria for measurement properties of health status questionnaires. Our criteria can be used in systematic reviews of health status questionnaires, to detect shortcomings and gaps in knowledge of measurement properties, and to design validation studies. The future challenge will be to refine and complete the criteria and to reach broad consensus, especially on quality criteria for good measurement properties. (c) 2006 Elsevier Inc.
